The regular NFL season is starting to hit the home track as the playoff races get closer and closer with the league starting in week 15. The Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens battle for last place in the AFC playoffs, while the Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears battle for last place in the NFC playoffs. The Vikings and the bears will clash on Sunday as the playoff hopes of the losers in the matchup will decline sharply.

When the last injury report was published on Jan.. Week, you will find an overview of all injuries in the league here. All NFL odds come through William Hill Sportsbook.

The bills are relatively healthy, but John Brown (ankle) isn’t returning from injured reserve this week. Brown is slated to return from injured reserve this week, but it will be Gabriel Davis who will join Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley in three wide formations for at least one more game.

Gordon and Lindsay are questionable for the Broncos, but head coach Vic Fangio said earlier in the week that both backs would be available to play. The Broncos will use Friday’s practice session to determine if Glasgow will play on Saturday. They will keep Netane Muti on guard if Glasgow can’t leave.

If Okung cannot walk, the panthers on the left tackle are thin because Greg Little was placed on an injured reserve (ankle). . Right attack Taylor Moton could switch to the left if necessary. Samuel was restricted in training on Thursday, while McCaffrey did not train on Wednesday or Thursday. McCaffrey is unlikely to play.

Dominique Dafney is expected to be No.. be. 2 close end with Sternberger, but the Packers are relatively healthy in a short week.

No, George Kittle for the 49ers this week as head coach Kyle Shanahan said he’ll hold out another week (foot). Raheem Mostert is good for Sunday as he hasn’t received an injury label. Look for Brandon Aiyuk to accomplish more goals with Samuel.

Elliott’s calf injury is worse this week, but Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said he’ll be playing on Sunday. Elliott missed training all week. The calf injury is expected to last the rest of the year, Elliott said on Wednesday.

Seahawks close end Greg Olsen and Rashaad Penny have returned to practice this week, but the Seahawks have until Saturday to activate them from injured reserves and qualify for Sunday’s game. Safety Ryan Neal and Tackle Cedric Ogbuehi received no injury labels. Seattle can start Ogbuehi if Shell can’t play

Dwayne Haskins will head to Washington with Smith, while lead rusher Gibson is doubtful. If Gibson misses Sunday’s game, Washington will leave with a combination of Peyton Barber and J.. D.. . McKissic in the backfield.

The Bears will be short in high school this week and may miss two of their top five defenders. Johnson hasn’t trained with his injury all week and Skrine is out. Mack hasn’t missed a game despite all of the injuries he’s sustained this year. Graham has had limited practice for the past two days.

Rudolph will miss his second game in a row, so Irv Smith will get the Vikings off to a close. Mattison had appendix surgery earlier this month and was a full participant in Friday’s workout. So it’s likely that he’ll get fit this week.

All Patriots players were restricted in training on Friday – in typical Bill Belichick fashion. Harris (ankle) and Moncrief (thigh) were downgraded to out on Saturday afternoon.

Brian Flores, Dolphins’ head coach, has been very encouraged by Gesicki’s progress but will keep things in the house when he takes on Bill Belichick this week. He said Parker and Grant are limited.

The Jaguars are relatively healthy in Week 15 as Jones will be the only player assigned an injury label. James Robinson (knee) was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

For the Ravens, wide receivers Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and James Proche II are on track to play on Sunday after being classified as « high risk » close contacts earlier in the week and on the reserve / COVID 19 list were set. Raven’s head coach John Harbaugh has no obligation for Peters or Smith on Sunday.

The Buccaneers are on their way to Sunday’s injury report but will miss the left tackle against Donovan Smith after he was put on the COVID reserve list on Friday. Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not train on Friday but was not given an injury label.

The thigh injury is still bothering Jones, so he’ll be out again because of the Falcons. Atlanta head coach Raheem Morris believes Jones can return before the season ends.

Stafford’s availability is subject to pre-game training. Then the Lions determine if he starts. Reports surfaced on Saturday that he was preparing for the game. Chase Daniel will start when Stafford can’t leave. Ragnow, who had broken his throat, saw a specialist to see if he could communicate with his damaged vocal cords.

There are no Injury Titles for the Titans this week, so they are in full strength other than players who have been added to the reserve list.

The Texans downgraded Johnson, Gaines Prosise and Reed on Saturday for not traveling to Indy with the club. Brandin Cooks has no injury designation, so he will play – although Romeo Crennel mentioned that broad receiver Chad Hansen would be brought back from the training team.

Punter Rigoberto Sanchez did not receive an injury label for the Colts. He had an operation two weeks ago to remove a cancerous tumor. Buckner would be a huge loss to the Colts Defense Front, which struggled a few weeks ago while in the COVID-19 reserve.

Philadelphia downgraded Slay to out for Sunday, meaning the Eagles will lose their first corners against the Cardinals’ temporary attack. Jalen Mills could return to the cornerback for security reasons. Matt Pryor will start into the injured reserve with Driscoll.

The Cardinals’ passing rush will miss Jordan Phillips, but their offensive will be in full force if Edmonds can play. Edmonds was limited on Friday after a lack of training during the week. Kicker Zane Gonzalez is out on Sunday, so Arizona has to get Mike Nugent off the training team.

The Jets are trying to avoid their first 0-14 start in franchise history and may have to do without Crowder this week, with the same calf injury that developed last week. While Crowder weathered the injury last week and played the second most snapshots among the team’s broad receivers, he only had two catches for seven yards.

The Rams put offensive lineman Bobby Evans and security guard Nick Scott on the reserve / COVID-19 list on Friday, while the three players who were given an injury label were banned from training as a precaution. All three will play on Sunday if they continue to test negative.

Head coach Andy Reid said Fisher trained on Friday and « moved well ». « The Chiefs will see what he looks like on Saturday before they decide if he can start on Sunday. Remmers didn’t train on Friday.

Drew Brees will be racing for the Saints for the first time in a month, but New Orleans won’t have Michael Thomas, who has since been placed on IR, as his best pass catcher target. Look for Tre’Quan Smith and Emmanuel Sanders for a significant increase in goals on Sunday.

Hooper was a full participant in Friday training for the Browns. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski is optimistic that Njoku will also play on Sunday. He also said he felt « good » about Ward, who is playing on Sunday. Teller is « week after week » and his absence could be big for an offensive line that has played well with him on the line-up this year.

Giants head coach Joe Judge was due to make a decision for Jones on Friday, but that decision seems to be delayed by a day. Now the Giants will reportedly start Colt McCoy against the Browns, leaving Jones out of the running with thigh and ankle injuries.

James Conner missed Thursday’s practice due to a quad injury but was capped on both Friday and Saturday, which is encouraging for his prospect of playing on Monday night. When he couldn’t play, Benny Snell takes on the starting role.

The biggest injury news in this game is that Brandon Allen will be disfellowshipped with a knee injury. After missing practice all week, it wasn’t a surprise, but it throws sophomore quarterback Ryan Finley onto the starting grid below the center. Last year Finley started three games for Cincinnati. One of those starts (week 12) was against the Steelers. In that 16-10 loss, Finley threw for 192 yards and a touchdown.
