The trade deadline has come and gone in the NFL. Teams are weaker, and teams are stronger. But as always, every team is dealing with key injuries in some shape or form as we head into the second half of the season.
A few quarterbacks were banged up in Week 9, but expect to see some of them on the field. There were a few big losses around the league, though. Let’s dig into the Week 10 injury report.
✅ Probable
| Position | Team | Player | Injury |
|---|---|---|---|
| CB | Baltimore Ravens | ![]() Nate Wiggins | Illness |
| QB | Kansas City Chiefs | ![]() Patrick Mahomes | Elbow |
| QB | Los Angeles Chargers | ![]() Justin Herbert | Finger |
| EDGE | Cleveland Browns | ![]() Myles Garrett | Knee |
| WR | Detroit Lions | ![]() Amon-Ra St. Brown | Ribs |
| WR | New York Jets | ![]() Garrett Wilson | Concussion |
QB – Justin Herbert (Chargers vs. Ravens): Probable
It wouldn’t be hyperbole to call the Los Angeles Chargers’ 2026 season one of the most shocking seasons in recent NFL history. The Chargers had major ambitions of competing for a Super Bowl in 2026, hiring offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to help lift Justin Herbert and the offense, while replacing the departing Jesse Minter with Chris O’Leary, but languish at the bottom of the NFL with a 0-8 record—the only winless team remaining in the NFL. Though the fault isn’t entirely his own, quarterback Justin Herbert has had the season from hell, throwing a league-worst 11 interceptions while ranking rock bottom in expected points added per play, per Sümer Sports. Herbert underwent imaging on his left middle finger after the Chargers’ loss to the Texans, but Jim Harbaugh announced that Herbert “should be good to go” against the Ravens on Monday Night Football—the best chance the Chargers will have of getting their first win of the season so far. As bad as things have been this season, they’d be one hundred times worse without Herbert.
WR – Amon-Ra St. Brown (Lions vs. Patriots): Probable
There aren’t many wide receivers in the NFL who provide an element of security and consistency better than Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions’ All-Pro receiver is on pace for another exceptional year in 2026, and has 61 receptions for 657 yards and five touchdowns in eight games. He’s also averaging a career-high 7.6 receptions per game, and doing it all while banged up. That toughness has been a major part of St. Brown’s game, and the former fourth-round pick is once again limited in practice this week, dealing with a rib injury. Despite dealing with the rib issue, it’s almost a certainty that he’ll be on the field in Germany for the Lions’ Week 10 international game vs. the New England Patriots. No other Lions’ receiver has more than 34 catches this season, almost half of St. Brown’s catch total for the season. He and Jahmyr Gibbs are the heart and soul of the offense, and it looks like both will be suiting up in Week 10.
EDGE – Myles Garrett (Rams vs. Cardinals): Probable
The Myles Garrett trade this offseason was one of the biggest trades in recent NFL history, but all of that offseason hype was quashed after just one game, with Garrett undergoing knee surgery after aggravating a previous injury. The Rams have been chasing their tails for much of the season since then, but thankfully saw the long-awaited return of Garrett in Week 9. Garrett already has three sacks in just two games, and his 18.2% pressure rate is 13th among all edge rushers with at least 50 snaps. It’s a small sample size, but this is Myles Garrett after all. The Rams have precautionarily listed Garrett as limited in practice this week, but it should only be viewed as precautionary. He’s still finding his way back into full game shape, and the Rams will want to lighten his load in practice to get him there. With the offense struggling and now without Puka Nacua, they’ll need the defense to carry their fair share of the load, and they’ll need Garrett to do it.
❓Questionable
| Position | Team | Player | Injury |
|---|---|---|---|
| T | Buffalo Bills | ![]() Dion Dawkins | Ribs |
| RB | New England Patriots | ![]() Rhamondre Stevenson | Knee |
| CB | San Francisco 49ers | ![]() Renardo Green | Back |
| T | New England Patriots | ![]() Will Campbell | Knee |
| LB | Philadelphia Eagles | ![]() Zack Baun | Back |
| G | Tennessee Titans | ![]() Peter Skoronski | Hamstring |
CB – Renardo Green (49ers vs. Cowboys): Questionable
The 49ers’ defense hasn’t quite lived up to the lofty standards set by the offense in 2026, but they’re still one of the better units in the league and are ninth in expected points added. There’s star talent on the defense, but the performances from certain role players have helped elevate the unit. Renardo Green, the 49ers’ second-round pick in 2024, has stepped up this season. Green leads the league with four interceptions and has six PBUs for the 49ers this season. He’s been a tough matchup for some of the league’s better receivers. But Green is dealing with a back injury and, along with fellow 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, is considered day-to-day and missed practice on Wednesday. That doesn’t bode well for his status heading into Week 10 and the 49ers’ Sunday afternoon matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have two excellent receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens—they’ll need their top cornerbacks on the field to handle that challenge.
G – Peter Skoronski (Titans vs. Jaguars): Questionable
There’s not much to shout about right now if you’re the Tennessee Titans. Their 1-7 record leaves a lot to be desired, and the play from second-year quarterback Cam Ward has been underwhelming and increasingly worrying at times. The Titans might have a decision to make on Ward’s future. For now, winning games in the present is the goal. For that to happen, they need their best players on the field, and arguably their best player on offense is guard Peter Skoronski, who injured his hamstring against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. The former first-round pick had the bye week to heal and rest up, but enters Week 10 as a question mark. Skoronski missed practice on Wednesday and now faces an uphill battle to be ready in time for the Titans’ AFC South clash vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Skoronski is ruled out, it’s likely that Garrett Dellinger, who stepped in to fill the hole at left guard against the Bengals, would be in line for his first career start.
RB – Rhamondre Stevenson (Patriots vs. Lions): Questionable
Despite a Week 9 loss to the Packers, the New England Patriots have started to find their feet. The offense has looked good with Drake Maye under center, despite the lack of receiving talent and the lack of a consistent running game. Veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he’s a big-game player for the Patriots. Stevenson churns out the yards for the Patriots and is strong in pass protection, earning 3.9 yards per carry on the season. The Patriots are 12th in expected points added per rush, but could face a tough matchup in Germany against the Lions without Stevenson, who looked to be missing the game due to a knee injury suffered in the third quarter against the Packers. Despite missing practice on Wednesday, Stevenson was a limited participant on Thursday, and there’s now some optimism he’ll be ready to go on Sunday—or at least be a game-time decision. If Stevenson is out, the Patriots will have to rely on Corey Kiner to ground out the yards.
🏥 Doubtful, Out
| Position | Team | Player | Injury |
|---|---|---|---|
| WR | Los Angeles Rams | ![]() Puka Nacua | Knee, Toe — OUT |
| DT | Miami Dolphins | ![]() Zach Sieler | Biceps — OUT |
| WR | Arizona Cardinals | ![]() Michael Wilson | Neck — OUT |
| RB | Green Bay Packers | ![]() Josh Jacobs | Finger — OUT |
| RB | New England Patriots | ![]() Rhamondre Stevenson | Knee |
| QB | Miami Dolphins | ![]() Malik Willis | Knee |
WR – Puka Nacua (Rams vs. Cardinals): Out
The injury suffered by wide receiver Puka Nacua in the closing stages of the Los Angeles Rams’ 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 9 is the Rams’ season summed up in one moment. A brief sense of victory and upward trajectory was shattered by the weight of expectation—though in this case, Nacua was injured on an unnecessary jet sweep on third-and-long, suffering MCL and LCL sprains that clearly caused discomfort at the time. And the reality now is that the Rams will be without Nacua for, at least, the next four games, turning an already weak wide receiver room into one of the worst in the NFL. The Rams are already missing two of their top pass catchers—Davante Adams and Terrance Ferguson both reside on IR, where Nacua will likely join them—and the passing game has largely been built around Matt Stafford targeting Nacua. A Nacua-less offense leaves the Rams in dire straits at 5-4, just as they were looking to build a head of steam, and there’s now a real chance they miss the playoffs if they can’t get Nacua back in time.
QB – Malik Willis (Dolphins vs. Colts): Out
The 2026 Miami Dolphins feel akin to the Detroit Lions in Dan Campbell’s first season. A team that is talent-deficient but continues to play hard—even at 1-7. The Dolphins are 25th and 28th in expected points added on offense and defense, respectively, but it’s clear that good things are happening inside Hard Rock Stadium. But the Dolphins are now going to be without starting quarterback Malik Willis, who has been playing decent football, for at least the next four weeks after they placed him on IR. Willis has played through a few injuries this season, but a groin injury, likely suffered in the Week 9 loss to the Lions, seems to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. With Willis now on IR and not back until Week 15 at the earliest, there’s a chance the Dolphins don’t win another game this season. Kyle McCord, a sixth-round pick for the Packers in 2025, is now in line to start his first career game against the Colts in Week 10.
DT – Zach Sieler (Dolphinsvs. Colts): Out
When it rains, it pours. That’s how the Dolphins must be feeling right now. Losing Willis for the majority of the second half of the season is an obvious blow. The offense will suffer without his playmaking on the field, but the Dolphins also had to place defensive tackle Zach Sieler on season-ending injured reserve after the veteran ruptured his biceps on the first play of the Week 9 loss to the Lions. Despite suffering the injury on the first play of the game, Sieler continued to play 49 snaps in the game and had a tackle for loss. Sieler is a captain and leader for the Dolphins and has been a consistent force at the heart of their defense in recent seasons. Even when they’ve struggled, Sieler has shown up. Now, they’ll be without him for the rest of the season, but the expectation is that he’ll recover within five or six months and be ready to go in 2027. In the meantime, the Dolphins hope that their 2025 first-round pick, Kenneth Grant, can start to step up after struggling to make an impact early in his career.
