Week 6 of the 2024 NFL regular season is upon us, and as usual, there are several notable injuries to keep an eye on as we approach this weekend’s games.
The Bears will be without safety Jaquan Brisker for their matchup against the Jaguars in London, as they will be missing a few starters on defense. Meanwhile, the Panthers will be missing their top two centers for their NFC South showdown with the Falcons.
But fear not, dear reader, for we are diligently monitoring all the key injury news from around the league. Below, you will find the latest updates from Friday’s final practice sessions. Be sure to keep checking back as we will continue to update this page throughout the evening.
In Jacksonville, Campbell will not be activated off IR/designated for return this week, while all the questionable players were limited in Friday’s practice. Running back Travis Etienne is expected to play despite a shoulder injury, but all eyes will be on Engram, who has been sidelined with a hamstring issue for several weeks.
Meanwhile, the Bears are facing the likelihood of being without two key members of their secondary in Brisker and Stevenson, with the latter missing Friday’s practice. Smith is also ruled out, leaving them short on cornerback depth. On a positive note, Martin has been a full participant in practice all week as he works his way back from injury.
Robinson’s absence from practice all week casts doubt on his availability for the upcoming game, which could mean an increased workload for Jeremy McNichols, who has already found the end zone three times this season.
As is often the case, Baltimore is grappling with a slew of injuries this week. Luckily, all of the Ravens’ questionable players were limited in Friday’s practice session.
In Arizona, Ryland is set to step in at kicker if Prater is unable to play. A fourth-round pick by the Patriots in 2023, Ryland impressed by converting three of his four field goal attempts in last week’s victory over the 49ers.
Alexander and Morgan were limited participants in practice all week for the Packers, who recently placed tight end Luke Musgrave on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Fellow tight end Tucker Kraft has been a reliable target for Aaron Rodgers this season, hauling in three touchdown receptions through five games.
So as we gear up for another exciting weekend of NFL action, stay tuned for more injury updates and be sure to check back for the latest news on who’s in and who’s out. Remember, all odds mentioned are via SportsLine consensus.
