NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Quarterbacks
Aidan O’Connell Injury Update - Illness

NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Running Backs
Breece Hall Injury Update - Knee
After not practicing all week, the Jets have officially listed Breece Hall as doubtful for their Week 14 game with a knee injury. With nothing to play for, why risk it at this point. Braelon Allen is next up to receive a bulk of the carries for the Jets.
Kenneth Walker II Injury Update - Ankle, Calf
After popping up on Wednesday’s injury report in limited fashion, Kenneth Walker was unable to practice on both Thursday and Friday, really putting his status in question. Head coach Mike Macdonald said they’re likely going to take this up to gametime if they have to.
D’Andre Swift Injury Update - Quad
After being unable to practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, D’Andre Swift made a return to the practice field on Friday, strengthening his chances at playing in Week 14. He’s listed as questionable.
Bucky Irving Injury Update - Hip, Back
After the Bucs Week 13 game, there were pictures of Bucky Irving limping into the locker room with his hip heavily iced. That injury kept him sidelined at practice until Friday, where he returned, which paves the way for him to suit up in Week 14.
Raheem Mostert Injury Update - Hip
After logging a limited practice on Friday, Raheem Mostert has officially been listed as questionable. Not only is he questionable, but head coach Mike McDonald confirmed multiple injuries have kept him limited this year.
Roschon Johnson Injury Update - Concussion
The Bears have officially ruled Roschon Johnson out with a concussion that he suffered in the Thanksgiving Day game. He hasn’t practiced all week.
Alexander Mattison Injury Update - Ankle
Alexander Mattison has missed the last two games for the Raiders but is definitely trending towards playing. He was able to practice all week, albeit in limited fashion, and is listed as questionable.
Zamir White Injury Update - Quad
For a third consecutive week, Zamir White has been ruled out for the Raiders due to a quad injury. He was unable to practice at all this week.
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Wide Receivers
CeeDee Lamb Injury Update - Shoulder
Despite having a pretty banged up shoulder, CeeDee Lamb told reporters he has no doubts that he’ll be suiting up come Monday night.
Malik Nabers Injury Update - Hip
There have been zero conversations about shutting Malik Nabers down for the year per head coach Brian Daboll, but he is questionable this week. He hurt his hip at practice on Thursday and received an MRI after hurting it, but it came back clean enough that the Giants didn’t rule him out.
Devonta Smith Injury Update - Hamstring
When asked about Week 14’s status Devonta Smith himself said “count me in.” Looks like number six is back.
DJ Moore Injury Update - Quad
Just like D’Andre Swift, DJ Moore returned to practice on Friday after missing both Wednesday and Thursday sessions. He’s trending towards being available in this one.
DK Metcalf Injury Update - Shoulder
DK Metcalf’s week started limited on Wednesday, went to out on Thursday, all the way up to full on Friday and is completely off the injury report for Week 14.
George Pickens Injury Update - Hamstring
Friday was an awful day injury wise around the NFL as new injuries popped up out of nowhere including George Pickens’ hamstring. He was limited because of it and is listed as questionable to boot.
Jakobi Meyers Injury Update - Ankle
Jakobi Meyers returned to practice on Friday in full capacity and has been cleared off the injury report and is ready to rock in Week 14.
Ladd McConkey Injury Update - Shoulder, Knee
After being limited at practice all week, Chargers rookie wide receiver is listed as questionable for Week 14. Things are trending in the right direction since he was able to practice and it’s an incredibly important game against the Chiefs on the schedule.
Keon Coleman Injury Update - Wrist
The Buffalo Bills listed rookie receiver Keon Coleman as questionable after logging three limited practices this week. He’s trending in the right direction for Week 14.
Cedric Tillman Injury Update - Concussion
For a second consecutive week, Cedric Tillman has been ruled out due to a concussion. He was unable to practice at all during the week.
Demarcus Robinson Injury Update - Hand
After logging back-to-back full practices to end the week, Demarcus Robinson has been removed from the injury report and is going to play in Week 14.
Allen Lazard Injury Update - Chest
The Jets are activating Allen Lazard off of injured reserve after a five-game absence and he’ll be ready to rock in Week 14.
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert Injury Update - Knee
After not practicing on Friday once again, that was the nail in the coffin and Dallas Goedert is officially out for Week 14.
Dalton Kincaid Injury Update - Knee
Like teammate Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid logged three limited practices this week and is listed as questionable. Like Coleman, he’s trending in the right direction.
Ja’Tavion Sanders Injury Update - Neck
Head coach Dave Canales was asked about Ja’Tavion Sanders' status for Week 14 and he said he’s expected to play. That’s a great sign after a scary injury suffered just two weeks ago.
Tyler Higbee Injury Update - Knee
Despite practicing in full all week, the Rams are not quite ready to activate him and so, we look forward to Week 15 for his potential return.
Player News
Vikings released QB Brett Rypien.
That means the Vikings are moving forward with J.J. McCarthy, recent signee Carson Wentz, and undrafted free agent rookie Max Brosmer for the 2025 season. Rypien remains highly regarded for his veteran status, something that could lead to another opportunity elsewhere in short order.
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski said he expects QB Kenny Pickett to be ready for Week 1.
Stefanski also added that he is still working through who will back up Joe Flacco to start the season, potentially opening the door for one of the rookies to serve as the team’s top backup for Week 1. Pickett was originally in the running for the starting role for the Browns but an ill timed hamstring injury derailed those plans.
Cowboys activated CB Trevon Diggs from the Physically Unable to Perform List.
Diggs gets added to the active roster ahead of the start of the regular season, making good on the team’s promises that he would be ready to go for Week 1. He should immediately reenter the starting lineup opposite DaRon Bland for a Cowboys secondary that was devastated by injuries a season ago.
Jets traded DT Derrick Nnadi to the Chiefs for a swap in conditional seventh-round and sixth-round picks.
Nnadi played the first seven seasons of his professional career with the Chiefs before signing with the Jets this offseason. He returns to the Chiefs for conditional pick swaps after playing a reserve role during the 2024 regular season, something we should expect in 2025.
Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell (wrist) will miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured wrist.
O’Connell suffered the fractured wrist in the team’s final preseason game and is set to miss six to eight weeks, potentially setting up an injured reserve stint to start the regular season. Sixth-round rookie Cam Miller is the only other quarterback currently on the roster, meaning we could see the Raiders exploring the waiver wire or potential trades to satisfy their need for a backup quarterback.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said he expects WR Jauan Jennings to be ready for Week 1.
Speaking to media Sunday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects wide receiver Jauan Jennings to be ready for Week 1. When asked about his wide receiver’s availability, Shanahan said, “I expect him to be back, I think he should be back from it, but you never know with calves. I’m not a doctor, so like I said, calves take time. You never know with calves.” It seems Shanahan is expecting Jennings for Week 1 but also wasn’t exactly speaking with a great deal of certainty, giving himself outs to the statement. The 49ers surely want Jennings out there against the Seahawks considering the multitude of injuries up and down their roster, potentially setting up a highly concentrated attack amongst Christian McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall, and George Kittle to start the year.
