We enter the final stretch of the regular season with 19 NFL teams within two games of a playoff position and only a handful of teams mathematically eliminated already.
With byes returning this week, there are only 15 games on the schedule this week, but all of them could be impacted by the availability of key players. Keep an eye on this page throughout the week as we update it with every injury report and analysis on the major storylines.

– Najee Harris will be active on Sunday after injuring his oblique last week on Monday Night Football. He’s struggled all season, averaging just 3.7 yards per carry.
However, things have turned around in recent weeks for the Alabama product. He’s topped 90 rushing yards twice and scored three touchdowns in his last two games.
Benny Snell filled in last week, but popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a knee injury. Rookie Jaylen Warren has averaged 5.0 yards per carry this season and has added 16 catches for 137 yards in the passing game.

– Elijah Wilkinson was designated to return from the IR on Wednesday, but wasn’t optimistic he would be ready to step back in to his spot at left guard against the Steelers.
Wilkinson did return to practice on Friday after sitting out of Thursday’s session.
Chuma Edoga made a start at left guard in Week 11, but didn’t practice on Thursday due to a knee injury. That could pave the way for Colby Gossett to make his fourth start of the season.
Gossett has struggled this season, allowing six total pressures in 98 pass blocking snaps and grading out as the Falcons worst pass-blocker on Pro Football Focus.

– Aaron Rodgers is expected to keep playing until the Packers are eliminated from playoff contention despite dealing with a broken thumb and rib injury.
He’s been playing through the thumb issue since Week 5, but the rib injury suffered against the Eagles last week forced him out of action in the second half.
While Rodgers hasn’t looked like himself this season, one thing that has remained consistent is his dominance of the Chicago Bears. In his career, Rodgers is 23-5 against Chicago and he posted a passer rating of 131.1 in a 27-10 win earlier this season.
– Rodgers will not have All Pro David Bakhtiari protecting his blindside as the left tackle has been ruled out after undergoing an appendectomy on Friday. With Yosh Nijman now at right tackle, rookie Zach Tom is the next man up at left tackle.
Tom started at left tackle back in Week 7 and allowed zero pressures in 41 pass blocking snaps.

– Justin Fields seems to be on-track to return after missing one game with a left shoulder injury. He was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice after being limited all last week. Backup Trevor Siemian has been ruled out due to his own injury.
Fields struggled against Green Bay in Week 2, completing seven of his 11 pass attempts for 70 yards and rushing for a season-low 20 yards on eight carries.
Fields has averaged 106 rushing yards per game since Week 6 and the Packers defense was shredded by Jalen Hurts last week for 157 rushing yards on 17 carries.

– Travis Etienne is considered questionable this week after missing the end of last week’s win over the Ravens due to a foot injury. Doug Pederson did tell reporters after the game that Etienne was cleared to return, but the team held him out to be cautious.
Etienne currently ranks fourth in the NFL among running backs in yards per carry this season and has averaged 85 rushing yards per game since the Jaguars moved him into the starting lineup.
Former 49er Jamycal Hasty is the Jaguars backup running back. He has 25 carries for 120 yards this season.

Bryant is averaging 7.8 yards per reception this season and is averaging a career-high 2.1 receptions per game. In the Browns win over the Texans last season, Bryant caught four passes for 49 yards.
– The big news in Cleveland is the return of Deshaun Watson, who has been reinstated from his suspension. Watson led the NFL in yards per attempt and tossed 33 touchdowns for a 4-12 Texans squad in 2020.
Under Jacoby Brissett, the Browns offense ranked 16th in passing first downs and net yards per pass attempt this season.

– Despite some optimism earlier in the week, Derek Stingley will miss his third game with a hamstring injury. Desmond King II will remain in the starting lineup opposite Steven Nelson.
King has allowed six catches for 82 yards on nine targets in his two starts on the outside.
– Brandin Cooks was a late addition to the injury report this week, but has been ruled out with a calf injury. He’s averaged 55 yards per game since missing Week 9 against the Eagles.
Nico Collins has been their second-best receiver in 2022, catching 34 passes for 446 yards. Chris Moore caught a touchdown in the game Cooks missed last month.
The Texans offense has been putrid as of late, ranking 31st in total points and scoring no more than 24 points in any game this season.

– Michael Carter will be inactive this week after suffering a hamstring injury in the win over the Bears. He currently leads the team with 99 carries, but thanks to a 3.7 yards per carry, he still trails the injured Breece Hall in total rushing yards this season.
The Jets turned to Zonovan White last week and he rushed for 69 yards in his NFL debut. James Robinson was a healthy scratch against the Bears, but could return to the active roster. Since being acquired by New York, Robinson has 75 rushing yards on 25 carries.

Fellow rookie Christian Holmes got his first career start last week against the Falcons and was targeted only once for a two-yard completion.
– Chase Young is questionable after being limited in practice all week. He could make his 2022 debut on Sunday, but Ron Rivera told reporters this week they will wait for him to go through pregame warmups before making that decision.

– Both of the Giants top wide receivers are questionable for Sunday. Darius Slayton was added to the injury report on Thursday with an illness while Richie James has been limited all week with a knee injury.
With Sterling Shepard and Wan’Dale Robinson both out for the rest of the season, the next receivers on the depth chart are Isaiah Hodgins, David Sills V and Kenny Golladay.
Hodgins has gotten the start in each of the past two weeks and has caught six passes for 60 yards. Meanwhile, Sills hasn’t played since Week 8 and Golladay has just four catches for 51 yards all season.
– Evan Neal should make his first start since injuring his knee back in Week 7. The rookie allowed five sacks in his first seven starts, although three of them came in one game against the Cowboys.
Among tackles with 200 pass blocking snaps, Neal has the ninth-lowest grade on Pro Football Focus this season.

Bud Dupree returned from injury last week and finished with one quarterback hit and three total pressures.
– Center Ben Jones will return to the starting lineup after missing a pair of games with a concussion.
Prior to the injury, he ranked seventh among centers according to Pro Football Focus.

– The Eagles will be without CJ Gardner-Johnson this week after he suffered a lacerated kidney against the Packers. Undrafted rookie Reed Blankenship will make his first-career NFL start.
Blankenship got an interception on Sunday night, but also took a poor angle on a slant route and allowed a 62-yard touchdown.
– Philadelphia could also get rookie defensive tackle Jordan Davis back after he spent four weeks on the IR with an ankle sprain. The Eagles added Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph in recent weeks to bolster their interior run defense.
Davis ranked eighth among all NFL linemen in run defense grade on Pro Football Focus prior to his injury. It will be a tough assignment this week, going against Derrick Henry, however Henry has averaged just 2.78 yards per carry in his last three games.

Boone could compete with Marlon Mack for the second running back role behind Latavius Murray.
– Courtland Sutton was a late addition to the injury report this week, sitting out of Friday’s practice with an illness. Both he and Jerry Jeudy are considered questionable while KJ Hamler is out again.
Jeudy hasn’t played since injuring his ankle back in Week 10. In the two games without him on the field, Sutton had 11 catches for 155 yards.

With Williams out again, Geno Stone will make another start. The former seventh-round pick has started every game since Week 6 and he has graded out as the seventh-best safety in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus in that time.
– Left tackle Ronnie Stanley is likely a game-time decision after sitting out Friday’s practice. He sat out last week due to an ankle injury.
Patrick Mekari could get another start at left tackle after he returned to the starting lineup last week and allowed just one quarterback hit in 40 pass blocking snaps.

– Despite clearing concussion protocol, Matthew Stafford will be inactive again this week as he deals with a neck injury. That means Bryce Perkins will get his second chance at leading an NFL offense.
Last week, Perkins completed 13 of his 23 pass attempts for 100 yards, one touchdown and a pair of interceptions. He was also sacked three times, but did add 44 yards as a runner.
Seattle’s defense is ninth in the NFL in interceptions, but does rank 24th in net yards per pass attempt allowed.
– The Rams will also be without Aaron Donald who suffered a high ankle sprain last week. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year had a career-low 5.0 sacks this season and 10 tackles for loss. He’s never played less than 14 games in a season.
Jonah Williams could get his first NFL start after playing a career-high 24 snaps against the Chiefs last week. Williams has just four quarterback pressures in his career, all coming last season.

With Armstead off the field for 36 snaps last week, the Dolphins allowed five sacks and 12 pressures. Brandon Shell and Greg Little will be the starting tackles against the 49ers, but it is unclear where they will lineup.
Shell has made five starts this season, all at right tackle, but filled in for Armstead on Sunday at left tackle. Little made one start at left tackle in Week 6 and allowed three sacks and eight total pressures.

– Deebo Samuel did return to practice on Friday, but “didn’t do much,” according to Kyle Shanahan and is considered questionable. The offensive weapon is dealing with a thigh bruise and the healing process is moving slower than expected.
With Elijah Mitchell already ruled out, that could put more pressure on Christian McCaffrey and his sore knee. The former Panther had his worst game as a 49er last week, earning 49 yards from scrimmage on 15 touches.
Jordan Mason chipped in with 25 rushing yards on five carries.
– Trent Williams exited Friday’s practice early due to back spasms, but the team still expects him to play on Sunday. Shanahan referred to the injury as “big-guy problems.”
Williams has been one of the best left tackles in football since moving to San Francisco, but missed two games earlier in the season. Jaylon Moore got those starts and allowed one sack and three quarterback hits.

– Kadarius Toney will be out again as he tries to recover from another hamstring injury. The former Giant has now missed 14 games due to injury in his young career.
The rest of the Chiefs’ receiving corps is healthy with Juju Smith-Schuster retuning after missing one game. Patrick Mahomes threw for 320 yards against the Rams, but spread the ball all around. Eight different Chiefs recorded multiple catches in the win.

In his only regular season game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Chase had 11 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns.
He added six catches for 54 yards in the AFC Championship Game.

– The Chargers will be missing both Trey Pipkins and Corey Linsley on Sunday.
Linsley has been Pro Football Focus’s highest-graded pass blocking center this season and was replaced by Will Clapp last week after sustaining a concussion. Clapp has made two starts at center already this season and has allowed just six pressures in 181 pass blocking snaps.
Foster Sarell is the backup option at right tackle. He previously started in Week 10 and allowed one sack and five pressures.
– Mike Williams will be inactive again after aggravating his ankle injury back in Week 11.
Last week against Arizona, DeAndre Carter, Josh Palmer and Keenan Allen all had at least five catches with Carter leading the way with seven grabs for 73 yards and a touchdown. Allen added a score as well.

– NFL rushing leader Josh Jacobs is considered questionable this week after being limited in practice with a calf injury. The Chargers run defense has been porous this season, allowing a league-worst 5.4 yards per carry to opposing rushers.
Rookie Zamir White is second on the team in carries with 10 while Brandon Bolden and Ameer Abdullah have mainly worked as pass-catching backs.
Jacobs had 10 carries for 57 yards against the Chargers earlier this year and gashed them for 132 yards in their last trip to Las Vegas.

– Cornerback Kenny Moore will be inactive on Sunday after suffering an ankle injury on Monday Night Football. He’s played 505 snaps in the slot this season, nearly 400 more than any other Colts defender.
With Moore out, Isaiah Rodgers and Tony Brown could rotate as the nickelback with Rodgers staying on the outside in the base defense.
– The Colts will also be missing right tackle Braden Smith who is out with an illness. While Jeff Saturday has refused to announce a replacement due to “competitive advantage,” it’s safe to assume Matt Pryor or Dennis Kelly will get the start.
Pryor did start at right tackle once this season, but allowed nine total pressures and three sacks. Kelly has only played left tackle this season, but made five starts at right tackle for the Packers last season and was the Titans’ full-time starter the year before that.
