Percy Harvin had a throwing session with Russell Wilson, which helped persuade Pete Carroll not to place him on season-ending injured reserve.

Harvin has played in just one game this season following offseason hip surgery.

Harvin looked "amazing" during the session and the Seahawks believe it is possible he will play in their playoff game on Jan. 11.

Harvin signed a $67 million, six-year contract with the Seahawks.

Percy Harvin is doubtful to play any time soon and will likely be placed on injured reserve by the Seattle Seahawks.

Harvin had offseason hip surgery and returned for just one game. Harvin caught one ball for 17 yards, along with one punt return and one kickoff.

The Seahawks acquired Harvin in March from the Minnesota Vikings for a first round pick in 2013, a seventh round pick and a mid-round pick in 2014. The Seahawks also gave Harvin a six-year, $67 million extension.

Aaron Rodgers took first team reps in the Green Bay Packers' practice on Thursday and was named the starter by Mike McCarthy.

Rodgers hasn't played since suffering a fractured collarbone in November.

The Packers have a play-in game on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

The reps taken by Rodgers were in individual drills as the media didn't see 11-on-11 work.

“Any football player that plays Sunday will have risk," said McCarthy. "We’ve done our due diligence. We feel it’s time for Aaron to play”

Tony Romo felt better but not "overly comfortable" on Wednesday as the Dallas Cowboys prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles with a trip to the playoffs on the line.

The Cowboys have not ruled out Romo even though he needs surgery to repair a herniated disk.

J.J. Watt is likely to undergo plastic surgery on his injured nose this offseason.

Watt has had multiple collisions this year that has resulted in blood coming down from the bridge of his nose.

The decision is mainly at the prodding of Watt's mother.

Watt has acknowledged that the injury is "very painful" every time he gets it, but is fine if nothing touches it.

"Once it gets time to heal up and rest, it goes back to pretty normal," he said. "We'll see what happens. If it doesn't heal itself, then I will look into getting it fixed."

Jake Long suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the St. Louis Rams' Week 16 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Long will undergo season-ending surgery.

"With respect to the fact that also the MCL is included, surgery will probably be delayed four to six weeks," Jeff Fisher said. "He takes very good care of himself. He knows and understands what's ahead. Obviously he is shocked right now but he's indicated to us that he'll be back and good to go."

Tony Romo is out for the season with a back injury.
