All 32 NFL teams are dealing with injuries as we enter Week 14 of the regular season. Some of these injuries are significant. The Baltimore Ravens are going to have to find a way to hold on to the AFC North with a stoned Lamar Jackson, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker struggling with an ankle problem and the Jaguars quarterback from Jacksonville Trevor Lawrence is day to day with a foot injury.
Below, we’ll break down the final injury report for Thursday night’s game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams, and look at midweek injury reports for other NFL teams (at except for the six on a bye). This is your one-stop-shop for all things NFL injury.

Las Vegas Raiders (-6) vs. Los Angeles Rams, Thursday
- Raiders: DT Andrew Billings (fibula), LB Jayon Brown (hand), TE Jesper Horsted (concussion), CB Rock Ya-Sin (knee) OUT; CB Tyler Hall (back), RB Josh Jacobs (quad/calf) DOUBTFUL
- Rams: DT Aaron Donald (ankle), LB Travin Howard (hip), LB Terrell Lewis (back), DB David Long Jr. (groin) OUT; DB Troy Hill (groin), WR Lance McCutcheon (shoulder), WR Brandon Powell (illness), QB John Wolford (neck) DOUBTFUL
This is the second week in a row that Jacobs has been listed as questionable before a Raiders game. Despite his designation, Jacobs played and scolded for 144 yards on 26 carries in Sunday’s win over the Chargers, so he’s expected to return to his outfit on Thursday.
For only the second time this season, it looks like the Rams are going to have the same starting offensive line for consecutive weeks (h/t Jourdan Rordigue of The Athletic). Another notable facet of the Rams injury report is that Donald missed his second straight game after not missing a game in the previous four seasons.
Wideouts Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot) along with Derek Stingley Jr. (hamstring/illness) were among the Texas players who did not practice Wednesday. At the Cowboys, defensive end Demarcus Lawrence (foot) continues to train in a limited way.
Wideout Kenny Golladay trained in full Wednesday despite illness. Fellow receiver Richie James (knee) was a limited practice participant. Defensive end Leonard Williams (neck) was kept out of practice.
Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox’s 21-day training window opened on Wednesday, meaning he could be activated at any time over the next three weeks. Maddox was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Receiver Quez Watkins (shoulder) and linebacker Kyzir White (ankle) were limited participants in practice.
For the Jaguars, quarterback Trevor Lawrence is struggling with some sort of lower-body injury. It was previously reported as a foot injury, but it is listed on the official injury report with a toe injury. He did not train on Wednesday. Linebacker Chad Muma also did not practice due to an ankle injury. Safety Andre Cisco (shoulder) and wide receiver Zay Jones (chest) were limited entrants.
Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was limited on Wednesday. Rookie rookie Treylon Burks hasn’t trained like he is under NFL concussion protocol. Titans coach Mike Vrabel said Burks was doing and feeling “good” after being injured in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles.
Running back Joe Mixon was a full participant as he looks to play Sunday for the first time since Cincinnati’s Week 11 win at Pittsburgh. Tight end Hayden Hurst, who left last Sunday’s win over Kansas City with a calf injury, did not practice.
Several Browns veterans, including Myles Garrett, Amari Cooper and Jadeveon Clowney, were granted rest days. Cornerback Denzel Ward (knee), who had a Joe Burrow six pick the last time the Browns played in Cincinnati, missed practice with ankle designations and illness. Tight end David Njoku has been limited by a knee injury.
Four Jets – Michael Clemons, Corey Davis, DJ Reed and George Fant – missed practice due to illness. Safety Ashtyn Davis was limited Wednesday after missing last Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.
For the Bills, linebacker Matt Milano did not practice Wednesday with a knee issue, while nose tackle Jordan Phillips suffered a shoulder injury. Offensive tackles Dion Dawkins (ankle) and David Quessenberry (ankle) were limited entrants. Star quarterback Josh Allen was listed on the injury report again with his right elbow injury, but he was a full participant.
An illness is creeping into the Vikings locker room, as five Vikings, including defensive backs Patrick Peterson and Harrison Smith, missed practice after feeling ill.
Offensive tackle Taylor Decker (elbow), safety DeShon Elliott (ankle), center Frank Ragnow (foot) and receiver Kalif Raymond were among the Lions who did not practice Wednesday. Running back D’Andre Swift has been training in a limited capacity as he struggles with an ankle injury.
Baltimore had a lengthy injury report that included missing Lamar Jackson as he suffered a knee injury. The former league MVP is not expected to be back in time for Sunday’s game. While a good chunk of the Ravens’ absences on Wednesday were veteran time off, offensive lineman Patrick Mekari sat out practice with a toe injury. Linebacker Patrick Queen (thigh) and linebacker Kristian Welch (concussion) were restricted.
Running back Najee Harris (oblique), OT Chukwuma Okorafor (shoulder) and DL Larry Ogunjobi (toe) were among the Steelers who did not practice Wednesday. TJ Watt (ribs) and Diontae Johnson (hip) were limited. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday he doesn’t expect any of the above players to miss Sunday’s game.
The Chiefs didn’t miss a single player in practice Wednesday. Only two players — linebacker Nick Bolton (groin) and wide Kadarius Toney (hamstring) — were restricted.
Courtland Sutton (hamstring), the Broncos’ top receiver, did not practice, while fellow receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was limited. Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett said Sutton is likely to miss Sunday’s game. Jeudy is expected to play fewer backhands.
Panthers linebacker Cory Littleton (ankle) and running back D’Onta Foreman (foot) are the two players who did not practice Wednesday for Carolina. Pass rusher Brian Burns (knee), left tackle Ikem Ekwonu (knee) and defensive tackle Matthew Ioannidis (calf) were limited entrants.
The Seahawks were without running backs Kenneth Walker III and DeeJay Dallas, who left last Sunday’s win over the Rams with ankle injuries. Seattle coach Pete Carroll hasn’t ruled out either player returning for Sunday’s game against Carolina. How well trained each player is this week will largely determine whether or not they get the green light to play.
Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs (ankle/knee) was the only Buccaneers offensive player who did not practice Wednesday. The Tampa Bay defense practiced without safeties Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) and Mike Edwards (hamstring). The Vita Vea tackle (foot/shoulder) was limited.
The 49ers’ Deebo Samuel (quad) and Christian McCaffrey (knee) were restricted on Wednesday. Speaking on Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said the team isn’t optimistic about his ability to return to the field this year after suffering a foot injury. It looks like Brock Purdy will be the 49ers starting quarterback from now on, barring a miraculous recovery from Garoppolo.
Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead, who missed Sunday’s loss to the 49ers with a photo injury, did not practice Wednesday. He did light individual work during the open media portion of the practice.
Wideout Mike Williams – who hasn’t played since Week 11 – was restricted on Wednesday with an ankle injury. Chargers coach Brandon Staley called his former 1,000-yard wide receiver day-to-day for Sunday night’s game.
Analysis to come.
