We're into Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season, and injuries are once again a factor in several key games this coming weekend. There are fewer games this Sunday due to the three-game Thanksgiving slate, but there are still a slew of injury updates to keep in mind ahead of the weekend.
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 the air their leading up to kickoff. Below, you'll find every injury report and analysis of what it all means for Week 12.
Titans: Patriots:Injury report to come.
Patterson was similarly limited in practices last week and then did not play against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. He was limited throughout this week as well. If he misses the game, the Falcons will once again be left with Mike Davis, Qadree Ollison, and Wayne Gallman in the backfield. Jones was a Friday downgrade in practice status -- never a good sign. He's important to Atlanta's coverage over the middle of the field, which could be an issue against Dan Arnold, who has been heavily involved for the Jags of late.
Teams have been using their top cornerback against Kyle Pitts when split out wide of late, so the Jags having to make do without Griffin could lead to the rookie's first big performance in the last few weeks.
Analysis to come.
Ebron's absence means more work for rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth against Cincinnati. Haden went DNP-LP-LP this week. Most importantly, T.J. Watt will be back on the field for this game after returning to practice fully on Friday. Watt missed the team's Week 11 game after suffering an injury against Detroit in Week 10.
If there's any position where the Bengals can overcome an injury, it's likely at wide receiver, where they have considerable depth.
Buccaneers: Colts:Injury report to come.
Miles Sanders and Boston Scott will presumably handle the majority of the rushing workload in Howard's absence, though rookie back Kenneth Gainwell could mix in on passing downs, as he did earlier in the season.
Jets:Texans:
Injury report to come.
Football Team: Panthers:Injury report to come.
Breeland was also listed as questionable last week and ended up playing 88% of the snaps against the Packers. He could definitely help Minnesota against Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
Rams: Packers:Injury report to come.
Browns: Ravens:Injury report to come.
Seattle Seahawks
