Titans’ Murray ruled out

Tennessee running back DeMarco Murray will miss his second straight game as the Titans have ruled him out for Saturday’s AFC wild-card game at Kansas City.

Murray hurt his right knee late in a loss to the Rams on Dec. 24 and has not practiced since then. He finished the season with a career-worst 659 yards rushing, but he ran for six touchdowns. He also caught 39 passes for 266 yards with another TD.

Tennessee head coach Mike Mularkey said starting left guard Quinton Spain is questionable because of a back issue.

McCoy uncertain:

Buffalo running back LeSean McCoy says he’s making progress with his right ankle injury but his status is uncertain for Sunday’s AFC wild-card game at Jacksonville.

McCoy spoke to the media Thursday for the first time since enduring the injury in Sunday’s 22-16 win at Miami. He has yet to practice this week, but did participate in stretches Thursday before leaving the field with a trainer.

McCoy has been Buffalo’s most explosive and most consistent playmaker, finishing the year with 1,138 rushing yards and six touchdowns.

Packers’ coaching changes:

The first season with a losing record and without a playoff appearance since 2008 has led to an extensive shake-up this offseason for Green Bay (7-9).

Alex Van Pelt was the latest assistant to exit the staff after head coach Mike McCarthy said his quarterbacks coach has decided to pursue other opportunities. Edgar Bennett is no longer offensive coordinator, though he may stay with the team in another capacity. McCarthy still will call plays.
