NFL Week 8 final injury report: Latest on Lamar Jackson, AJ Brown, Emeka Egbuka, more
• 2 min read
Injuries are becoming a greater factor as the NFL's regular season nears its midway point. Some teams continue to be hit hard by the injury bug, while others have been relatively lucky in avoiding too many serious injuries.
The Ravens are among the teams that have already dealt with a notable injury to a star player. The good news for Baltimore fans is that Lamar Jackson will play this week after an ankle injury sidelined him for the past three games. The Ravens need all the help they can get as they prepare to face the Bills and MVP front-runner Josh Allen.
Below is a rundown of each team's final Week 8 injury report. Keep tabs on this page as we'll be providing updates throughout the evening.
Ravens at Bills
Ravens: TBA
Bills: WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) OUT; OT Spencer Brown (back), CB Dee Alford (ankle), TE Dalton Kincaid (chest), WR DJ Moore (shoulder), DT Greg Gaines (lower body)
Kincaid wore a non-contact jersey during Friday's practice, but that didn't stop him from drop-kicking a tackling dummy after making a catch. Moore also practiced Friday in a non-contact jersey.
Titans at Bengals
Cardinals at Cowboys
Vikings at Lions
Raiders at Jets
Browns at Steelers
Browns: CB Myles Harden (hamstring), T Tytus Howard (concussion), DB Daniel Thomas (ankle) QUESTIONABLE
Steelers: CB Doneiko Slaughter (hamstring), CB Brandin Echols (hamstring) OUT; WR Ben Skowronek (calf) QUESTIONABLE
Skowronek (who hasn't played since Week 5) would be a notable addition to the Steelers if he is able to play. In addition to being a Pro Bowler special teams player, Skowronek has developed a rapport with Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. His presence on offense would be welcomed as the Steelers are dealing with injuries at receiver.
Falcons at Buccaneers
Falcons: TBA
Buccaneers: WR Emeka Egbuka OUT; RB Kenny Gainwell, OT Luke Goedeke QUESTIONABLE
Egbuka was ruled out after he was unable to practice on Friday. Conversely, Gainwell was a full participant on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Goedeke practiced for the first time this week on Friday in a limited capacity.
Colts at Jaguars
Chargers at Rams
Chiefs at Broncos
Chiefs: DT Omarr Norman-Lott (knee) OUT; DE R Mason Thomas (personal), CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder), CB L'Jarius Sneed (knee) QUESTIONABLE
Broncos: TBA
Kansas City is welcoming back receiver Rashee Rice, who hasn't played since he sustained a hamstring injury in Week 4. Rice's injury came after he caught 11 passes for 171 yards in his previous two games. He caught a touchdown pass in Kansas City's Week 1 win over the Broncos.
Patriots at Dolphins
Patriots: RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness), WR A.J. Brown (knee, ankle), LB Christian Elliss (chest) QUESTIONABLE
Dolphins: TBA
Brown was limited during the week's final two practices. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said that Brown's status on Saturday will likely determine if he plays on Sunday.
"We'll see how he comes in tomorrow and we'll make a decision," Vrabel said.
