Switzer was on the Browns’ practice squad this season, and the team presumably liked what they saw and are brining him back for 2021. Switzer will likely look to win a role as a reserve receiver that can contribute on special teams.
Gabriel Davis (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for the AFC Championship.
Davis injured his ankle in the Divisional Round and toughed it out, and he was able to get back on the practice field in a limited fashion to end the week. Expect the rookie receiver to be a game-time call on Sunday.
Mahomes is good to go for the AFC title game against the Bills, which is great news for the Chiefs and football fans. It’s good to hear Mahomes is back to 100% as he gears up for his third consecutive AFC Championship at home.
Antonio Brown (knee) has been ruled out for the NFC Championship.
Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians had said that Brown would be able to play without practicing, but his knee is apparently in bad enough shape that they’re ruling him out ahead of the weekend. This is a tough blow for Tampa Bay in a game where they’ll need all hands on deck, but Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson will step up with Brown out. AB will hopefully be ready to play if the Bucs advance to Super Bowl LV.
This is a slight surprise, as McDonald can still produce at 31 years old (this June), but he’s going out after a solid eight-year career. The 2013 second-round pick of the Niners played four seasons in San Francisco and four seasons in Pittsburgh, recording 181 receptions for 2,036 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Rice product also had some memorable highlight plays throughout his career, particularly on runs after the catch. We wish McDonald luck as he transitions to his post-playing life.
