NFL Injury Report For Week 14: Fantasy Football Injuries
Your fantasy football rosters could possibly need a completely makeover come 1 pm ET on Sunday, so monitor all those questionable tags as we head into the weekend. Lets dive into the NFL Week 14 injury report, shall we?
NFL Week 14 Injury Report: Quarterbacks
Aidan O’Connell Injury Update - Illness
After not practicing on Thursday due to an illness, Aidan O’Connell was back at practice on Friday in full capacity and has been removed from the Raiders injury report. He’s set to start again in Week 14.
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
The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo believes RB Kaleb Johnson is a “schematic fit” for the Steelers offense.
Johnson, a third-round draft pick who last month was listed as a co-starter alongside Jaylen Warren on the Pittsburgh depth chart, was a hyper-productive back in Iowa’s zone-based rushing scheme, a system used frequently in Arthur Smith’s run-first offense. Only three college running backs in 2024 logged more zone rushes than Johnson. Johnson’s goals in offseason practices, according to DeFabo, “are to learn the playbook and earn the coaching staff’s trust with the hope of becoming an ‘every-down back’ sooner rather than later.” That might require Johnson to improve his pass blocking. The rookie said he’s worked on that with Warren — one of the best blocking backs in the NFL — in recent days.
The Chiefs will play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.
The Week 13 matchup will bring Patrick Mahomes and the AFC champion Chiefs to Dallas for the day’s late afternoon game. It could be a shootout if key players on both sides are healthy. Dak Prescott heads into the season with George Pickens as a legit WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb, and Mahomes — who has talked this offseason about more explosive plays for the KC offense — will have Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown at his disposal. Mahomes has faced Dallas once in his NFL career, a Week 11 win in 2021 in which he threw for 260 scoreless yards. The hope for both the league and fantasy managers is that the Cowboys are still in postseason contention by the end of November.
Free agent Gabe Davis will visit the New York Giants.
Cut by the Jaguars after one season last week, Davis visited the 49ers on Monday. New York would be a reunion of sorts, as he played for Giants coach Brian Daboll in Buffalo. The G-Men already have several wideouts capable of stretching the field, but 26-year-old Davis could still be a decent role player in a strong offense. The problem, of course, is that the Giants profile as anything but, but rookie QB Jaxson Dart is comfortable throwing down the field.
Ravens S Ar’Darius Washington has been diagnosed with a torn achilles suffered during offseason training.
The fifth-year pro became a weekly starter for the first time last season, earning elite PFF marks in the process. He was a restricted free agent this spring but had yet to sign his $3.26 million tender. That’s a tough break, to put it mildly. Achilles timelines have shortened significantly in recent years, but Washington will probably still miss the entire 2025 campaign. The Ravens are protected in part by their first-round selection of fellow S Malaki Starks, but May is not the month you already want to be dipping into your depth. Going on 26, Washington’s career future is murky after he worked so hard to finally become a regular contributor last season.
Chiefs signed fourth-round WR Jalen Royals to a four-year contract.
Royals doesn’t have an obvious and open spot in the receiving corps to build short-term fantasy value with Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Rashee Rice operating in the opening 11-personnel package. He may or may not play his way into WR4 duties depending on how the team feels about JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals has plenty of talent and Brown is on a one-year deal, so there is a future where Royals is more than a bit player for the Chiefs. It likely won’t happen in his first season without injuries in front of him.
Matthew Judon said he “probably” won’t return to the Falcons in 2025.
The Falcons, of course, drafted both Jalon Walker and James Pearce in the first round. In an exclusive interview with CardPlayer.com — not to be confused with our PokerNews.com James Cook scoop a few days ago — Judon said that his sack total was down because “I dropped (into coverage) on 60 percent of the plays. It’s hard to get a pick and a sack on the same play.” Judon also told Kyle Odegard that “a couple” teams had expressed interest in him but he was in no rush to sign.
