Nick Cross SAF | IND
Colts' Nick Cross: Ends season with six tackles
Cross made six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to the Texans.
Cross suited up for all 17 regular-season games for a third consecutive year, recording 120 tackles (72 solo), including a career-high 2.5 sacks. He also had five passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. The 2022 third-round pick is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Laiatu Latu DE | IND
Colts' Laiatu Latu: Carer-high 8.5 sacks in 2025
Latu recorded 45 tackles (27 solo), including 8.5 sacks, five pass breakups, including three interceptions, and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Latu was the 15th overall pick in the 2024 Draft and started just one of 17 games in which he appeared as a rookie, finishing 12th in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after producing 4.0 sacks. Latu, however, became a full-time starter this season, starting all 16 games he played in, seeing the field on 68 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps. The 25-year-old will be back next season to help key Indianapolis' pass rush.

Germaine Pratt LB | IND
Colts' Germaine Pratt: Set for free agency
Pratt made five tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to the Texans.
Pratt began the 2025 campaign with Las Vegas, where he totaled 25 tackles (10 solo) and two passes defensed before being cut. He quickly linked up with Indianapolis, logging another 12 regular-season appearances and compiling 101 tackles (57 solo), four passes defensed (including one interception), plus one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. The veteran linebacker is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Zaire Franklin OLB | IND
Colts' Zaire Franklin: Double-digit tackles in finale
Franklin tallied 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to the Texans.
Franklin struggled in 2025, as despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games, his total of 125 tackles (62 solo), including 2.0 sacks, represents a notable decline after he had surpassed 165 tackles in each of the prior three seasons. The 32-year-old also had five passes defensed and one forced fumble in 2025. Franklin has two seasons remaining his three-year, $31.3 million contract with the Colts, but the team has a potential "out" this offseason for only $2.5 million in dead cap.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited to eight snaps in Week 18
Reed went without a target while taking the field for eight of the Packers' 51 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.
The fact that Reed even played at all was notable in itself after the Packers opted to rest the vast majority of their starters, including fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, who were active but didn't receive any snaps. Reed dealt with an illness leading up to Sunday's game but ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into the regular-season finale. Assuming he can get in a full practice week, Reed shouldn't face any restrictions in Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears. Reed totaled seven catches for 66 yards in the Packers' two games against the Bears during the regular season.

Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND
Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Stays involved in season finale
Alie-Cox secured three of four targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to Houston.
Alie-Cox didn't log a single appearance with more than one catch across the first 14 games of the 2025 campaign, but he compiled two, three and three catches in Indianapolis' final three contests, with one touchdown in that span. He wraps the season with a 13-117-1 receiving line on 20 targets, while having suited up for all 17 regular-season games and handling a depth role behind rookie standout Tyler Warren. Alie-Cox, who has spent all eight seasons of his NFL career so far with the Colts, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Held without a catch in finale
Dulin could not secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 38-30 season-finale loss to Houston.
Dulin suited up for 12 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2025, during which span he secured five of 10 targets for 106 receiving yards and logged three carries for 44 rushing yards. He also compiled a career-high 516 yards as a kick returner. He has one more year on his contract with Indianapolis, though the team has a potential "out" this offseason for only $670,000 in dead cap.

Blake Grupe K | IND
Colts' Blake Grupe: Perfect to end 2025
Grupe converted all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 38-30 loss to Houston.
Grupe was perfect across his five-regular season appearances with Indianapolis, converting all 11 of his field-goal attempts and all 10 of his extra-point tries. He struggled more across his 11 regular-season appearances with the Saints, however, going 18-of-26 on field-goal attempts while nailing all 15 of his PATs in those games. He will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, meaning the Colts will have the option to extend Grupe a one-year tender that would prevent him from negotiating with other teams.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Rests in Week 18 loss
Doubs was active but didn't play in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Vikings.
With Green Bay being locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs entering Week 18, head coach Matt LaFleur opted to rest Doubs and several other key contributors in advance of the postseason. Doubs should be ready to go for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bears. In two games against Chicago during the regular season, Doubs caught a total of five passes for 84 yards and one touchdown, with all of that production coming in Week 16 after he was blanked on two targets in Week 14.

Andres Borregales K | NE
Patriots' Andy Borregales: Wraps regular season with one miss
Borregales converted one of two field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during New England's 38-10 win over the Dolphins in Sunday's regular-season finale.
Borregales wraps the regular season of his rookie campaign having suited up for all 17 games, and converting 27 of 32 field-goal attempts (84 percent) and 53 of 55 extra-point tries. Impressively, Borregales has converted all four of his attempts from 50-plus yards out so far. He'll look to remain steady as the Patriots enter the AFC Playoffs, beginning with Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Chargers.
