The injuries are starting to pile up as Week 4 arrives in the NFL, with several stars missing time. The Tennessee Titans will not have A.J. Brown or Julio Jones this week, leaving Ryan Tannehill without his top two pass catchers (expect a lot of Derrick Henry) while Dalvin Cook is questionable for the Minnesota Vikings.
Quenton Nelson will miss the first game of his career for the Indianapolis Colts, ending a streak of 51 consecutive games played. Indianapolis could be without three of its five starting offensive linemen for Sunday’s showdown with the Miami Dolphins.
That’s just the beginning of the long list of injury reports coming in throughout the afternoon. Below, we will examine all the final injury reports for the 28 teams set to take the field on Sunday. If you have a question about a player’s status, this is the place to be.
Washington Football Team (-1.5) at Atlanta Falcons
- Washington: DB Benjamin St-Juste (concussion) OUT; RB Antonio Gibson (shin), DT Matt Ioannidis (knee) QUESTIONABLE
- Falcons: WR Russell Gage (ankle), DL Marlin Davidson (ankle) OUT
Gibson didn’t practice Thursday with the shin injury, but was a limited participant Friday. J.D. McKissic could be in for an expanded role if Gibson can’t go. Curtis Samuel will be activated off injured reserve and make his season debut for Washington Sunday, head coach Ron Rivera said.
A light injury report again for the Falcons, as Gage will miss his second consecutive game.
Houston Texans at Buffalo Bills (-17)

Cleveland Browns (-2) at Minnesota Vikings
- Browns: T Chris Hubbard (triceps), CB Greg Newsome II (calf) OUT; LB Sione Takitaki (hamstring), C JC Tretter (knee), T Jedrick Wills Jr. (ankle) QUESTIONABLE
- Vikings: WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette (toe) OUT; RB Dalvin Cook (ankle), LB Anthony Barr (knee), Kris Boyd (hamstring), DT Michael Pierce (elbow/shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
Wills is basically a game-time decision for the Browns, even though head coach Kevin Stefanski said he was limited in Friday’s practice. No setbacks for Odell Beckham Jr. as he was not given an injury designation.
Dalvin Cook is questionable for the second consecutive week, but he was limited in practice throughout the week. Cook didn’t practice all of last week.
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (-3)
- Lions:
- Bears: LB Joel Iyiegbuniwe (hamstring) OUT; DB Tashaun Gipson Sr. (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; LB Khalil Mack (foot), QB Andy Dalton (knee), WR Darnell Mooney (groin), DB Xavier Crawford (back) QUESTIONABLE
The Bears put up just 47 yards of offense last week, and may not have Andy Dalton or Darnell Mooney for this one. Both Dalton and Mooney were limited in practice Friday. Head coach Matt Nagy told reporters his starting quarterback would be a game-time decision — so that depends on the status of Dalton.
Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys (-4.5)
- Panthers: RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) OUT; DE Yetur Gross-Matos (ankle) DOUBTFUL; G John Miller (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
- Cowboys:
McCaffrey is out several weeks, but there’s no reason for the Panthers to place him on injured reserve. Chuba Hubbard will start in place of McCaffrey. Gross-Matos is getting closer to a return, returning to practice on a limited basis this week.
Indianapolis Colts at Miami Dolphins (-2)
- Colts: G Quenton Nelson (ankle/knee), T Braden Smith (foot/thumb), DE Kwity Paye (hamstring), S Khari Willis (ankle/groin), CB Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) OUT; TE Jack Doyle (back), G Mark Glowinski (knee), RB Jonathan Taylor (knee), QB Carson Wentz (ankles) QUESTIONABLE
- Dolphins:
The Colts are having a big mess of injury issues, as two offensive linemen (Nelson and Smith) are out, while another (Glowinski) is questionable, though Glowinski did practice on Friday. That doesn’t bode well for Carson Wentz, who’s got two hurt ankles and is also questionable. All five Colts players ruled out are starters. Taylor is expected to play barring a setback, but what isn’t clear is if the Colts will look to limit his workload.
New York Giants at New Orleans Saints (-7)
- Giants: WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring), WR Darius Slayton (hamstring), G Ben Bredeson (hand) OUT; DB Keion Crossen (elbow), DB Nate Ebner (quad), TE Kaden Smith (knee), LB Tae Crowder (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
- Saints:
The Giants will be without two of their top three receivers with Shepard and Slayton out, not a surprise since neither practiced all week. Kadarius Toney will be in line for a much larger role this week.
Tennessee Titans (-7) at New York Jets
