The NFL regular season is nearly two-thirds of the way complete as we enter Week 12. As the playoff races begin to take over the talk of the league, the injury reports are also piling up as all 32 teams enter the home stretch.
Let’s look at how each NFL team doing well from a health point of view. Below is a summary of each team’s initial injury report entering this week’s games.
Cornerback Marshon Lattimore hasn’t practiced since joining the Commanders and again did not practice Friday. He will be against the Cowboys. The Chiefs will once again be without running back Isiah Pacheco, despite reports that he was expected to return.

The Panthers had a long injury report this week. Kicker Eddy Pineiro, who is the league’s most accurate kicker of all time, is doubtful after not practicing on Friday. Running back Miles Sanders is the only player before Sunday as he hasn’t practiced all week, while wide receiver Adam Thielen has been limited all week and is questionable.
The Chiefs were expected to return Isiah Pacheco (ankle) this week, but the team announced he is out. With a short week ahead of them — they play the Raiders on Black Friday — the Chiefs’ coaches and trainers felt it was best for Pacheco to sit out, despite him being healthy enough to play. Charles Omenihu (IR) is also out.
The Vikings had quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) listed on the initial injury report, but he was a full participant Thursday and Friday after being sidelined Wednesday. He has no game name. Running back Aaron Jones (ribs) was a full participant in practice all week and is clear to play.
Surprise to see running back D’Andre Swift on the injury report for the Bruins as he is battling a groin injury and is questionable. Swift did not practice Wednesday and was limited the rest of the week.
The Titans had quite a few players listed on the injury report. Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and running back Tyjae Spears are among those sidelined this Sunday.
For the Texans, pass Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was limited to start the week after he missed last week’s game, but was a full participant Friday and has no game name. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. was also limited Wednesday and Thursday, but improved to a full participant by Friday.
As you can see, the Lions are dealing with injuries at cornerback. Fortunately for them, Moseley was a full practice participant all week. Arnold was a full participant on Friday after a limited Thursday. He was downgraded from questionable to out on Saturday, however, and did not make the trip to Indianapolis.
For the Colts, tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) was the only non-participant to start the week and he is officially listed as out. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis was a full participant, but is questionable.
- Patriots: DT Jaquelin Roy (neck) OUT; DT Christian Barmore (NIR), T Vederian Lowe (shoulder), DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (foot), S Kyle Dugger (ankle), S Marte Mapu (neck), DE Keion White (knee), LB Anfernee Jennings (knee), G Cole Strange (knee), LB Sione Takitaki (knee), CB Christian Gonzalez ( hip) DOUBTFUL
- Dolphins: CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) OUT; OT Terron Armstead (knee), FB Alec Ingold (calf), G Isaiah Wynn (quad/knee), S Patrick McMorris (calf) DOUBTFUL
It would almost be easier to name the Patriots who aren’t on the injury report. With the exception of Barmore, every Patriot with a questionable name was limited during Friday’s practice. Gonzalez was limited Friday after not appearing on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday.
For the Dolphins, Armstead did not practice all week, while McMorris was questionable despite being a full practice participant all week. Ingold and Wynn were limited on Friday.
The Buccaneers expect to have wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back on Sunday, as he was a limited participant on Friday after practicing fully the day before. Conversely, Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers did not practice Friday with a groin injury and is questionable. Kayvon Thibodeaux was limited Wednesday but was a full participant the rest of the week.
All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland is set to make his season debut after not being given an injury designation for Sunday. Also suiting up for the Cowboys is wideout CeeDee Lamb, who appeared on the injury report this week with back and foot injuries.
On Saturday, the Cowboys placed Bell on injured reserve and waived defensive end KJ Henry. Dallas also activated Edoga and Kneeland, who recently had their 21-day practice windows open. Both players are expected to play. In not so good news, Trevon Diggs and Zack Martin did not travel with the team and were demoted to outside.
The Commanders will be without Marshon Lattimore, who did not practice because he was traded to the team. Each of Washington’s questionable players were full practice participants on Friday.
Allen’s loss would be significant because he is one of the Broncos’ top defenders with five sacks and a dozen tackles for loss through 11 games. Jordan Jackson, a 2022 sixth-round pick, is slated to start in the event Allen can’t go.
The Raiders are hurt at multiple positions, including at running back. Backups Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube are in line to share the reps in the event that White and Mattison can’t go.
With Purdy out, veteran quarterback Brandon Allen will start in his place. Allen, 32, has attempted just three passes in a regular season game over the last three years. His last start in the NFL took place in 2021 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Allen has nine career starts under his belt, going 2-7.
For the Packers, Eric Stokes is slated to start in place of Alexander. A former first-round pick, Stokes has made six starts this season.
Each of Arizona’s questionable players was limited during Friday’s practice. In Seattle, both Fant and Shenault had a full practice Friday, which obviously bodes well for Sunday’s game.
Eagles edge rusher Bryce Huff (wrist) did not practice this week because he had wrist surgery. With Smith out, expect a bigger workload Sunday from fellow tight end AJ Brown, tight ends Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra and running back Saquon Barkley.
They’re not out of the woods, but the Rams’ injury situation is significantly better than it was during the first month of the season. If Havenstein can’t go, Warren McClendon Jr. is in line to start in his place. A 2023 fifth-round pick, McClendon has already made three starts this season.
