Biggest NFL Divisional Round Injuries:<\/h2>\n

Bo Nix Injury Update<\/h3>\n

Despite finishing out a riveting overtime win over the Bills, Broncos QB Bo<\/strong> Nix<\/strong> will miss the rest of the season with a broken bone in his ankle.<\/p>\n

The injury happened on the second-to-last play of overtime.<\/p>\n

With Nix sidelined, Jarrett Stidham\u00a0<\/strong>will start the AFC Championship game.<\/p>\n

Stidham has four career starts, with the last one coming with the Broncos back in 2023.<\/p>\n

Zach Charbonnet Injury Update<\/h3>\n

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet<\/strong> left Seattle's win against the 49ers early because of a knee injury.<\/p>\n

On Monday, it was revealed that Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL, knocking him out for the rest of the season and likely into the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n

Kenneth<\/strong> Walker<\/strong> picked up the slack with Charbonnet out, rushing for 116 yards and 3 touchdowns on 19 attempts.<\/p>\n

Walker will have to serve as the clear lead back the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Sam Darnold Injury Update<\/h3>\n

The Seahawks picked up an injury scare when QB Sam Darnold<\/strong> was added to the report with an oblique injury on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Seattle never appeared truly concerned that Darnold would sit out the game against the 49ers, and he was declared active ahead of the contest on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Darnold threw for 124 yards and a touchdown on just 17 attempts in the easy win.<\/p>\n
