Schoonmaker has been on the field for 31% of offensive plays and has tallied eight receptions for 65 yards and two scores.
Lewis, a 2017 third-round pick, remains a focal point of the Cowboys’ defense. He has played 73% of snaps and finished the regular season with 52 tackles, five pass breakups, three forced fumbles and an interception.
Former Michigan tight end Sean McKeon is currently on injured reserve for the Cowboys.
Receiver Ronnie Bell, cornerback Ambry Thomas, kicker Jake Moody
Bell and Moody both are rookies for San Francisco, which is the NFC’s No. 1 seed to earn a bye. Moody was the first kicker selected and has made 21 of 25 field-goal attempts this season, including 2 of 3 from beyond 50 yards. Bell, a seventh-rounder, hasn’t played much on offense but has hauled in six passes for 68 yards and three touchdowns. He also is a key player on special teams.
Thomas has played a career-high 49% of snaps in his third year in the league. He has 43 tackles, seven pas breakups and an interception.
Outside linebacker Rashan Gary, offensive guard Jon Runyan Jr.
Both players are mainstays for the Packers. Gary, a former first-round pick, signed a monster extension in October. He is coming off a torn ACL in 2022 but has played in all 17 games in 2023, recording 44 tackles, nine sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Runyan is in his third season as a starter for the Packers.
Collins has emerged as one of the top receivers in the league this season for Houston, the AFC South winner and No. 4 seed. The 2021 third-round pick finished eight with 1,297 receiving yards and tied for eighth with eight receiving touchdowns. In a playoff-clinching win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18, Collins had a career-high nine catches for 195 yards and a touchdown, prompting head coach Jim Harbaugh to give him a shoutout at Michigan’s national championship news conference.
The Texans host the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Former Michigan defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr. is on injured reserve for Cleveland.
The 2020 fifth-round pick had a career-year for Kansas City, the No. 3 seed in the AFC. He totaled 50 tackles, seven for loss, 6 ½ sacks and three pass breakups. The Chiefs will host Miami on Saturday night with windchills expected to be well below 0 degrees.
The 2018 third-round pick is with his third NFL franchise. He started all 17 games for a second straight year for the Steelers, who are the No. 7 seed in the AFC and will face the Buffalo Bills on Monday.
Philadelphia Eagles: 1
Defensive end Brandon Graham
The 35-year-old’s production declined in 2023 after a career-high 11 sacks in 2022, but he remains an effective player of the bench for the Eagles, who will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday as the No. 5 seed in the NFC.
This season, Graham, a 2011 first-round pick, had 16 tackles and three sacks in 17 games.
