Injury clusters: Eagles QB, WR/TE, EDGE and OL; Cowboys LB/EDGE and OL.

Injury impact: Philadelphia's offensive availability remains the biggest concern, particularly at quarterback and along the offensive line. The Eagles also have multiple defensive-front injuries, while Dallas has its own linebacker and protection concerns.

Injury clusters: Cardinals RB, OL, secondary and DL; Broncos secondary, EDGE and RB.

Injury impact: Arizona has substantial injuries across multiple position groups, particularly its backfield and offensive line. Denver is healthier overall, although the absences of Hufanga and Elliss and Surtain's questionable designation are significant.

3. Raiders vs. Rams — Rams Defensive Interior and WR Injuries

Rams

  • WR: Davante Adams (hamstring, previously listed IR); Puka Nacua (calf, DNP, Q).

  • DL: Poona Ford (triceps, previously listed IR); Kobie Turner (groin, previously listed IR); Myles Garrett (knee, previously listed IR; roster/transaction confirmation needed).

  • OL: Kolton Miller (FP).

  • DL: Folorunso Fatukasi (FP); Tonka Hemingway (FP).

  • LB: Quay Walker (FP).

Injury clusters: Rams DL, WR, LB and CB; no comparable current Raiders cluster identified.

Injury impact: The Rams' defensive-front injuries could benefit the Raiders' rushing attack. Adams' previously reported absence and Nacua's questionable designation also create major concerns for Los Angeles' receiving corps.

Packers

  • DL: Javon Hargrave (Achilles, previously listed IR); Jonathan Ford (calf, previously listed IR); Jordon Riley (Achilles, LP, Q).

  • CB: Rock Ya-Sin (FP).

Injury clusters: Packers DL/EDGE/LB, OL and CB; Lions secondary and OL.

Injury impact: Green Bay's defensive front is the biggest concern against Detroit's offense. The Packers' existing defensive absences, combined with Franklin being ruled out, could create favorable matchups for Detroit's running and passing games.

5. 49ers vs. Falcons — San Francisco WR/DL Crisis

49ers

  • WR: Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles, DNP, OUT); Deebo Samuel (hamstring, DNP, OUT); Christian Kirk (calf, FP, Q); Ricky Pearsall (PCL, previously listed IR); Demarcus Robinson (ankle, previously listed IR).

Injury clusters: 49ers WR, DL/EDGE and safety; Falcons CB, OL, LB and EDGE.

Injury impact: San Francisco has major injuries at receiver and along the defensive front. Atlanta's cornerback injuries could partially offset the 49ers' receiver losses, but both teams have significant weaknesses.

6. Colts vs. Vikings — Indianapolis TE/CB/LB Crisis

  • TE: Tyler Warren (groin, DNP, OUT); Andrew Ogletree (FP).

  • CB: Sauce Gardner (calf, DNP, OUT); Justin Walley (knee, LP, Q).

  • EDGE: Arden Key (hamstring, previously listed IR).

Vikings

  • OL: Christian Darrisaw (DNP); Donovan Jackson (meniscus, previously listed IR); Brian O'Neill (FP).

  • WR: Jordan Addison (FP).

  • S: Harrison Smith (LP).

Injury clusters: Colts TE, CB, LB and WR; Vikings OL and TE.

Injury impact: Indianapolis is without Warren and Gardner, two significant starters. Gardner's absence could be particularly important against Justin Jefferson and Addison. Minnesota appears to be getting healthier, although offensive-line concerns remain.

7. Buccaneers vs. Panthers — Significant Injuries on Both Sides

Buccaneers

  • WR: Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot, LP, OUT); Jalen McMillan (PCL, previously listed IR); Chris Godwin (FP).

  • WR: Jordyn Tyson (hamstring, previously listed IR).

Injury clusters: Steelers secondary and WR; Saints OL and defensive interior.

Injury impact: Pittsburgh's defense is healthier following Friday's practice, with Watt, Highsmith and Ramsey practicing fully. New Orleans has greater concerns in the trenches, particularly if Ruiz cannot play. Elliott could provide a boost to Pittsburgh's secondary if activated.

New Orleans Saints

9. Bengals vs. Ravens — Lamar Jackson and Baltimore Defensive Injuries
