We're into Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season, and injuries are once again a factor in several key games this coming weekend. Quarterbacks are once again the biggest story of the weekend, though the injuries to multiple top running backs promise to shake up lineups as well.
As teams turn in their final injury reports of the week, let this be your hub for knowing who is in, who is out, and whose status may still be up in their leading up to kickoff. Below, you'll find every injury report and analysis of what it all means for Week 11.
Texans: Titans:Injury reports to come.
Edmunds got in a limited session on Friday after not practicing at all on Wednesday or Thursday. He's trending in the right direction but his status could likely best be described as up in the air. He's a very important piece for Buffalo's defense, particularly in the Bills' efforts to slow down Jonathan Taylor.
Robinson said on Friday that he feels pretty good, which would seem to give him a decent shot of suiting up against San Francisco. If he's out or limited, he'd likely be replaced in the lineup by Carlos Hyde.
The Bears also placed both Khalil Mack and Danny Trevathan on injured reserve, while elevating Cassius Marsh to the active roster and signing Bruce Irvin. They're potentially going to be quite short-handed on both sides of the ball.
Lions: Browns:Cleveland removed both Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton from the reserve/COVID-19 list as well. They are expected to play in this game.
Saints: Eagles:Injury reports to come.
The Dolphins' aggressive, blitz-happy defense won them their game against the Ravens last week. Van Ginkel and Wilkins are each important pieces along the defensive front.
For some reason, Joe Flacco is expected to make the start in place of Wilson, rather than Mike White. Vera-Tucker has been a valuable player on the interior of the offensive line for the Jets, and it would be damaging if he has to sit.
Washington Football Team at Carolina Panthers (-3.5)Seals-Jones did not practice all week, so his absence is expected. Logan Thomas remains on injured reserve, so the Football Team will be down to its third-string tight end. Samuel has been on and off the injury report all season and played just 30 combined snaps across his only two appearances this year. St-Juste practically fully on Friday, leaving him likelier to play than Fuller, who was limited on both Thursday and Friday.
Jones will be replaced in the lineup by backup A.J. Dillon, and Patrick Taylor will presumably get some work spelling him. Bakhtiari needs to be activated before next week's game, as his three-week window will be up. If Lazard is out (and he did not practice all week), Randall Cobb and Marquez Valdes-Scantling should play larger roles in the offense. Gary's absence would be huge for the Packers, who remain without their best pass rusher, Za'Darius Smith.
Minnesota's under-performing secondary could surely use Breeland against Davante Adams.
Bengals: Raiders:Injury reports to come.
Hopkins will miss his third consecutive game with a hamstring injury. Murray is supposedly closer to getting on the field than he was over the last two week, but coach Kliff Kingsbury said the quarterback will again be a game-time decision. With Arizona's bye coming in Week 12, the Cardinals might elect to play things conservatively here against a Seahawks team that was
