The NFL Week 11 injury report looks a little lighter than normal and that’s a much-needed exhale for how many season-ending, fantasy-season-ending injuries have occurred. 

NFL Injury Report For Week 11: Fantasy Football Injuries

The likes of Nico Collins, DK Metcalf, and Michael Pittman are all returning to action. Let’s dive into this week's injury report and see who’s in, who’s out, and what we’re still monitoring leading up to Sunday’s action-packed Week 11 slate.

 

NFL Week 11 Injury Report: Quarterbacks

Trevor Lawrence Injury Update - Shoulder

Head coach Doug Pederson officially ruled Trevor Lawrence out for Week 11 but he’s optimistic that after the teams Week 12 bye, he’ll return to the lineup in Week 13. His shoulder injury is not to his throwing arm.

 

 

 

NFL Week 11 Injury Report: Running Backs

Isiah Pacheco Injury Update - Hamstring

The Chiefs star running back Isah Pacheco was officially ruled out this week but was on the practice field to end the week on Friday, meaning he’s closing in on a return, likely in Week 12.

Tank Bigsby Injury Update - Ankle

Despite being given a glimmer of hope based on optimism from head coach Doug Pederson, Tank Bigsby was unable to practice this week and has been ruled out as he battles an ankle sprain.

Jaylen Warren Injury Update - Back

Jaylen Warren is currently battling a back injury that has limited him at practice this week and the Steelers have listed him as questionable for Week 11. If he can’t play, it’s going to be a LOT of Najee Harris, but as Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live notes, the Steelers haven’t activated any of their practice squad running backs.

Dameon Pierce Injury Update - Groin

The Texans play on Monday night, so their practice week started on Thursday and Pierce has been involved in both practices. He was limited on Thursday and upgraded to full on Friday. He’ll be active barring a setback on Monday night.

MarShawn Lloyd Injury Update - Ankle, Hamstring, Abdomen

Talk about absolute bad luck. Marshawn Lloyd, who’s 21-day practice window was opened, woke up on Friday morning with appendicitis and it requires an appendectomy, which is a multi-week absence in itself. The Packers are working with the league about what they can do down the line considering Lloyd’s practice window has been opened.

 

 

 

NFL Week 11 Injury Report: Wide Receiver

Nico Collins Injury Update - Hamstring

Finally, the return of Nico Collins has arrived. After practicing on a limited basis on Thursday, Collins logged a full session on Friday and is set to make his return to the field on Monday night against the Cowboys.

DK Metcalf Injury Update - Knee

After practicing in full all week long, DK Metcalf will make his return from a strained MCL that kept him out for two games. He is not even listed on the team's injury report.

Davante Adams Injury Update - Illness, wrist

After coming down with the stomach flu, Davante Adams was back at practice on Friday and is likely going to suit up in Week 11. Crisis averted.

Michael Pittman Injury Update - Back

This back injury has been a week-to-week thing, but Pittman is completely off of the injury report this week and will return to action after missing just one game.

Amari Cooper Injury Update - Wrist

It looks as if wide receiver Amari Cooper is going to play this week, but there’s something very interesting to note; he’s wearing a cast on his wrist. Why is that significant you may ask? Well, he catches passes for a living.

Tee Higgins Injury Update - Quad

I mean, we knew he was playing, didn’t we? Our very own Andrew Cooper did the deep dive so YOU didn’t have to.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Update - Hamstring

After practicing this week, head coach Andy Reid confirmed JuJu Smith-Schuster being ready to return to action and sure enough, he’s off the injury report for the Chiefs and is playing in Week 11.

 

 

NFL Week 11 Injury Report: Tight End

George Kittle Injury Update - Hamstring

The 49ers have officially listed star tight end, George Kittle, as questionable for their game this week. He’s often been listed on the team's injury report and has played through almost every injury.

Sam LaPorta Injury Update - Shoulder

Head coach Dan Campbell told the media after Week 10 that they weren’t worried about Sam LaPorta’s injury and just because he has been ruled out in Week 11 doesn’t mean he was lying. The Lions are likely proceeding with caution in this spot and should have LaPorta back in Week 12.

Dalton Kincaid Injury Update - Knee

The Buffalo Bills have ruled Dalton Kincaid out of their Week 11 game with a knee injury. He was able to briefly return after the initial injury in Week 10, but he was wearing a brace and only played a few plays before leaving again.

Isaiah Likely Injury Update - Hamstring

Isaiah Likely has been removed from the Week 11 injury report and is ready to rock this week after not playing in Week 10.
