NFL News NFL News, Reports and Updates
The first quarter of the NFL season is coming into a close, and all the injuries are piling up around the league. The Detroit Lions won’t have edge rusher Marcus Davenport and linebacker Derrick Barnes for a significant time, while the Philadelphia Eagles may be without both starting wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith this week.
The Cleveland Browns will have to see how defensive end Myles Garrett progresses throughout the week, as he’s battling multiple injuries (Achilles, foot, thigh). The Dolphins are also entering their Monday night matchup with a lot of uncertainty at quarterback as Skylar Thompson (ribs) is iffy to play and they may start their third signal-caller in four games.
The Green Bay Packers will be closely monitoring the status of quarterback Jordan Love (knee) ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings. Love did practice on Wednesday after missing Weeks 2 and 3 — both Green Bay wins with backup Malik Willis starting in his place.
As always, we’ll have the Wednesday injury report for all the games being played in Week 4. We’ll highlight the key injuries for each team as the list continues to grow with each passing week.
