Top Five Injury Headlines for Week #10
- Seattle is missing its quarterback and the left side of its offensive line. QB Sam Darnold, LT Charles Cross and G Quenton Nelson are out against Las Vegas, along with DL Leonard Williams. Drew Lock will start without an injury designation. The protection losses matter as much as the quarterback change.
- Houston’s injuries hit nearly every phase. RB David Montgomery, WR Marvin Harrison Jr., EDGE Danielle Hunter and LB Azeez Al-Shaair are out at Cleveland. EDGE Will Anderson Jr. is questionable, as are multiple offensive linemen. This is the week’s most concerning combination of offensive and defensive absences.
- Vikings–Packers becomes a test of replacement production. Minnesota is without QB Kyler Murray, TE T.J. Hockenson, WR Jauan Jennings and LB Blake Cashman; Kirk Cousins will start. Green Bay is missing RB Josh Jacobs and C Sean Rhyan, with several defensive starters questionable.
- Munich’s marquee receivers carry question marks. Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and New England WR A.J. Brown are questionable. The Patriots also have RB Rhamondre Stevenson questionable and placed RB TreVeyon Henderson on IR Saturday, creating a major backfield concern.
- San Francisco–Dallas hinges on protection and coverage. The 49ers have LT Trent Williams and multiple defensive backs questionable, while WR Mike Evans is out. Dallas is missing TE Jake Ferguson and has CBs DaRon Bland and Joey Porter Jr. questionable.
Sunday, November 15
New England Patriots vs. Detroit Lions — Munich, 9:30 a.m.
New England: WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee), RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) and S Kevin Byard (chest) are questionable. RB TreVeyon Henderson went on IR Saturday after being ruled out with an illness. CB Carlton Davis (knee) and OL Ben Brown (knee) are out. OL Greg Van Roten was activated from IR but remains questionable.
Detroit: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ribs) is questionable. C Cade Mays (ankle) and CB D.J. Reed (hip) are out; S Kerby Joseph also remains unavailable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Brown and St. Brown are the biggest passing-game swing factors, but Stevenson’s status also affects New England’s rushing and pass protection. Both secondaries have absences, so offensive injuries alone do not make this an automatic under.
Kansas City Chiefs at Atlanta Falcons — 1 p.m.
Kansas City: RB Kenneth Walker III (groin), OT Jaylon Moore (ankle) and DL Peter Woods (neck) are out. CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder) is questionable.
Atlanta: LB Divine Deablo (forearm) is out. EDGE James Pearce Jr. (back) and DT Gervon Dexter (illness) are questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Kansas City’s running game loses Walker, but Atlanta’s front has its own concerns. If Pearce and Dexter are unavailable, the Chiefs may have an easier time compensating. Their status matters more than the raw number of names on either report.
Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns — 1 p.m.
Houston: RB David Montgomery (groin), WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring), G Keylan Rutledge (neck), EDGE Danielle Hunter (hamstring) and LB Azeez Al-Shaair (groin) are out. EDGE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), OTs Trent Brown (wrist/illness) and Braden Smith (illness), and G Wyatt Teller (illness/back) are questionable.
Cleveland: S Ronnie Hickman (concussion) is out. WR Denzel Boston (toe) is questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: The injury balance points toward Cleveland, especially if Anderson cannot play. Houston could struggle to protect its passer while also generating less pressure defensively. Those competing effects make the side a clearer injury angle than the full-game total.
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers — 1 p.m.
Minnesota: QB Kyler Murray (hamstring), TE T.J. Hockenson (wrist/chest), WR Jauan Jennings (calf), LB Blake Cashman (concussion) and DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins (ankle) are out. Kirk Cousins has been named the starter. WR Jordan Addison (thumb), S Josh Metellus (shoulder) and OLB Kyle Van Noy (calf) are questionable.
Green Bay: RB Josh Jacobs (finger) and C Sean Rhyan (ankle) are out. LB Zaire Franklin (shin) is doubtful. G Kevin Zeitler (ankle/triceps), S Xavier McKinney (foot), nickel DB Javon Bullard (ankle/knee) and EDGE Lukas Van Ness (back) are questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Minnesota’s missing targets could limit Cousins, but Green Bay’s defensive availability determines how difficult his assignment becomes. Jacobs and Rhyan also weaken the Packers’ ground-game outlook. Wait for the secondary and Addison decisions before drawing a strong conclusion on the total.
Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts — 1 p.m.
Miami: C Aaron Brewer (concussion) is out. WR Chris Bell (knee) is doubtful, further limiting available receiving options.
Indianapolis: OT Jalen Travis (knee), LB Jaylon Carlies (neck), DT Jerry Tillery (calf) and TE Will Mallory (hamstring) are out. LS Luke Rhodes (hamstring) is also unavailable, creating a specialist replacement issue.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Brewer’s absence is Miami’s clearest concern because it affects the middle of the offensive line. Indianapolis has several absences, but the list should not be treated as several equivalent starter losses. The injury count alone provides no convincing side or total advantage.
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints — 1 p.m.
Carolina: LB Bobby Okereke (foot) is out. WR Xavier Legette (knee) and EDGE Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) are questionable.
New Orleans: OT Taliese Fuaga (knee) and C Erik McCoy (biceps) are out. RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) and CB Martin Emerson (shin) are questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: New Orleans’ two offensive-line absences are the central matchup issue. If Phillips plays, Carolina has a better opportunity to exploit the weakened protection. If Etienne also sits, the Saints face an additional challenge sustaining drives.
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets — 1 p.m.
Buffalo: OT Spencer Brown (ankle) is doubtful. CB Christian Benford (wrist) is questionable.
New York: WR Garrett Wilson (concussion) is questionable, as are WRs Adonai Mitchell (knee) and Omar Cooper (ankle). DT Harrison Phillips (ankle) and EDGE Joseph Ossai (ankle) are questionable. LB Trevin Wallace (groin) is out.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Wilson is the biggest offensive availability decision. If he cannot clear concussion protocol, New York’s passing outlook takes a meaningful hit. Buffalo’s tackle issue matters, but the Jets’ ability to exploit it depends partly on their own defensive-front availability.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans — 1 p.m.
Jacksonville: S Jessie Bates III and DT Jordan Davis will not make their Jaguars debuts this week; both are being rested, rather than sidelined by reported injuries. C Robert Hainsey (concussion) is questionable.
Tennessee: LBs Cody Barton (concussion) and Anthony Hill Jr. (neck), plus WR Carnell Tate (shoulder), are out. RB Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Do not price in an immediate defensive boost from Jacksonville’s new acquisitions. Tennessee’s linebacker losses could help the Jaguars sustain offense, but Jacksonville is not getting the reinforcements that might otherwise strengthen its case.
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals — 4:05 p.m.
Los Angeles: G Steve Avila (hamstring) is out. EDGE Myles Garrett (knee), CB Trent McDuffie (back) and S Kam Curl (toe) are questionable.
Arizona: C Hjalte Froholdt (concussion) and fellow C Jon Gaines (ankle) are out. DL Darius Robinson (wrist), CB Max Melton (knee) and S Andrew Wingard (groin) are questionable.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Arizona’s center situation is a protection concern, especially if Garrett plays. However, McDuffie and Curl sitting would weaken the Rams’ coverage. Garrett’s availability is the first decision to check before assessing which team has the more exploitable injury problem.
Seattle Seahawks at Las Vegas Raiders — 4:05 p.m.
Seattle: QB Sam Darnold (ribs/quadriceps), LT Charles Cross (ankle), G Quenton Nelson (knee) and DL Leonard Williams (stinger) are out. Drew Lock will start and carries no injury designation despite limited practices. WR Rashid Shaheed and EDGE Uchenna Nwosu are cleared to return.
Las Vegas: DT Thomas Booker (ankle) and WR Dont’e Thornton (back) are questionable. Neither designation should be weighted like Seattle’s confirmed losses.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: Seattle’s protection is the bigger concern than simply changing quarterbacks. Shaheed’s return helps, but Lock still plays behind a depleted line. The injury picture weakens confidence in Seattle’s offense without automatically making Las Vegas the right side at any spread.
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys — 4:25 p.m.
San Francisco: WR Mike Evans (Achilles) is out. LT Trent Williams (shoulder), LB Dre Greenlaw (knee), CB Renardo Green (back), DB Deommodore Lenoir (foot) and CB Upton Stout (shoulder/neck) are questionable. WR Deebo Samuel is cleared to return.
Dallas: TE Jake Ferguson (knee/ankle), EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku (ankle) and S P.J. Locke (concussion) are out. CBs DaRon Bland (ankle) and Joey Porter Jr. (ankle/foot) are questionable; S Juanyeh Thomas is doubtful.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: This game has injury paths in both directions. A depleted 49ers secondary could help Dallas move the ball, while missing Cowboys corners would help San Francisco. Trent Williams’ status is the key protection variable. Neither side’s defensive injuries should be ignored when considering the total.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals — 8:20 p.m.
Pittsburgh: TE Pat Freiermuth (illness) and DT Derrick Harmon (foot) are questionable.
Cincinnati: S Kyle Dugger (quadriceps) is out.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: This is a lighter immediate injury picture than most of the slate. Freiermuth’s absence would remove a useful receiving option, but these designations alone do not justify a major side or total adjustment. The matchup should carry more weight than the length of the injury list.
Monday, November 16
Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens — 8:15 p.m.
Los Angeles: WR Ladd McConkey (back) is questionable after missing all three practices. G Kayode Awosika (fibula) and DL Justin Eboigbe (ankle) are questionable. TE David Njoku (fibula), LB Denzel Perryman (pectoral) and OL Trey Pipkins III (knee/personal) are also questionable while in their return-from-IR practice windows; they still need activation to play.
Baltimore: S Jaylinn Hawkins (knee) is out. WR Rashod Bateman, S Kyle Hamilton and CB Nate Wiggins finished the week without game designations.
Wannamakeabet takeaway: McConkey is the biggest immediate receiving concern, particularly after three missed practices. Njoku’s potential return could help offset that loss, but a practice-window designation does not guarantee availability. Confirm McConkey and the Chargers’ activations before judging their passing-game outlook.
WANNA takeaways are matchup analysis, not predictions based on a quoted spread or total. Questionable is not the same as out. Established long-term IR absences are omitted unless there is a new transaction or a meaningful return decision this week.
