Players Ruled OUT 

George Pickens (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers

Evan Engram (TE) Jacksonville Jaguars – Out for the season. Brenton Strange is a viable replacement.

Will Dissly (TE) Los Angeles Chargers

Cedric Tillman (WR) Cleveland Browns

Noah Brown (WR) Washington Commanders 

Javon Baker (WR) New England Patriots

Emari Demercado (RB) Arizona Cardinals

Jalen Reagor (WR) Los Angeles Chargers

Drew Lock (QB) New York Giants

Dee Eskridge (WR) Miami Dolphins

Kene Nwangwu (RB) New York Jets

Questionable 

Tony Pollard (RB) Tennessee Titans – Did not practice all week until logging a limited session on Friday. Even if he suits up, Pollard’s ankle injury could result in more work for Tyjae Spears.

Bucky Irving (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Limited on Friday.

Ladd McConkey (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Will again come down to a late pain-tolerance issue for the rookie wideout.

Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Should be good to go.

D’Andre Swift & Roschon Johnson (RB) Chicago Bears – Johnson has still not cleared concussion protocol. Swift is dealing with a groin injury.

Aidan O’Connell (QB) Las Vegas Raiders – O’Connell isn’t as injured as expected. However, we expect Desmond Ridder to nab the start.

Sterling Shepard (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Harrison Butker (PK) Kansas City Chiefs

Zane Gonzales (PK) Washington Commanders

EXPECTED TO PLAY

Breece Hall (RB) New York Jets – Hall was a full participant Friday after missing a pair of practices. He is now expected to play. However, we’re skeptical of usage. The Jets have nothing to play for. Therefore, we’ll have Hall ranked conservatively.

Jakobi Meyers (WR) Las Vegas Raiders – Was limited, but good to go.

Dalton Kincaid (TE) Buffalo Bills

Rashod Bateman (WR) Baltimore Ravens

Jalen Coker (WR) Carolina Panthers 

Tyler Boyd (WR) Tennessee Titans

Nick Folk (PK) Tennessee Titans

NOT EXPECTED TO PLAY 

Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – Zach Charbonnet 🚀

David Njoku (TE) Cleveland Browns, – Kevin Stefanski indicated that the Browns would use a committee of Jordan Akins and Blake Whitehart if Njoku misses this game, as expected.

Marquise Brown (WR) Kansas City Chiefs

Matt Prater (PK) Arizona Cardinals
