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.

The Steelers will be without Highsmith for a short week, but are relatively healthy for Thursday. Highsmith didn’t play in Sunday’s win over the Ravens, so he’ll have an extra 10 days to get it right. Preston Smith and Nick Herbig will take the added pass snaps in Highsmith’s absence.
No injury name for tight end David Njoku (knee) or defensive end Myles Garrett (hip) for the Browns, as both will play Thursday. Njoku was a full participant in practice while Garrett was limited.
The Panthers sat out running back Miles Sanders (ankle) in Wednesday’s practice, along with outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee). Cornerback Jaycee Horn (calf) and wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) were limited.
The Chiefs are expected to have Isiah Pacheco (ankle) back this week, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. Running back Kareem Hunt (knee) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) were listed as full participants.
The Vikings had quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) listed on the initial injury report, but he was limited. Running back Aaron Jones (ribs) was a full participant in practice.
Surprise to see running back D’Andre Swift on the injury report for the Bears as he is battling a groin injury. Swift did not practice Wednesday while offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (ankle) was limited.
The Titans had quite a few players listed on Wednesday’s injury report. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness), cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (quad) and running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) did not practice.
For the Texans, pass Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was limited after he missed last week’s game. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. (hip) was also limited. The Texans had a walk.
Walk-on for the Lions on Wednesday, but tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) was a full participant. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral), who is on his 21-day practice clock, was a full participant.
The Colts had a short injury report to start the week, as tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) was the only non-participant. Indianapolis held a walk, so the report is an estimate. Tackle Braden Smith (foot) was limited.
The Patriots had safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) as a limited participant along with tight end Austin Hooper (neck). Offensive lineman Cole Strange is on injured reserve/designated for return and was limited as well.
The Dolphins held out tackle Terron Armstead (knee) in Wednesday’s practice (which was a walk). Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) was a limited participant, as was cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee). Running back Raheem Mostert (hip) was a full participant.
The Buccaneers expect to have wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back on Sunday, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. Running back Bucky Irving (toe) was a full participant. Cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring) did not practice.
Everyone worked out for the Giants on Wednesday as they came off their bye week. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (knee) was limited as was pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist).
The Commanders had a mini-bye from play on Thursday last week, but cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) still hasn’t practiced. Lattimore was a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice while kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) was a limited participant. No injury name for quarterback Jayden Daniels (ribs).
The Cowboys held a walk-through Wednesday after playing on “Monday Night Football” in Week 11, and so their practice report is an estimate. NFL 2023 interception leader and Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland (stress fracture in foot) was a full participant. Dallas No. 2 wide receiver Brandin Cooks returned to practice as a limited participant after missing the Cowboys’ past six games with a knee injury. Second-round rookie edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland also returned as a limited participant after missing the Cowboys’ past five games with a knee injury. Both of Dallas’ Pro Bowl offensive guards — right guard Zack Martin (ankle/shoulder) and Tyler Smith (ankle/knee) — did not practice. Cowboys All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was limited while dealing with both back and foot issues.
