Over the course of the week, there are a lot of posts about the most prominent injured players but we know that you might not see all of them and that some others may fall through the cracks. As a result, we’ll comb through all the injury reports every Friday afternoon so that there’s one stop for all the news from every team playing on Sunday. So, without further delay, the injury report roundup for Week Three of the 2015 season.
Bengals at Ravens
The Bengals will be short on the defensive line with Pat Sims (hip) out and Marcus Hardison (knee) doubtful. Wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) is good to go, though. It’s another week without left tackle Eugene Monroe (concussion) for the Ravens, who also ruled out wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) and defensive end Chris Canty (calf). Running back Lorenzo Taliaferro (foot) is questionable.
Saints at Panthers
Quarterback Drew Brees (shoulder) highlights the list of injured Saints players and he’ll be joined on the inactive list by safety Jairus Byrd (knee) and guard Jahiri Evans (knee). Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (toe) and cornerback Keenan Lewis (hip) are questionable. The Panthers don’t expect to have linebacker Luke Kuechly (concussion, doubtful) and definitely won’t have wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery (ankle). Defensive end Charles Johnson (hamstring) and running back Jonathan Stewart (knee) are both questionable with the expectation that they’ll be in the lineup.
Raiders at Browns
Defensive tackle Justin Ellis (ankle) and defensive end Benson Mayowa (knee) have been ruled out by the Raiders, who also listed defensive end Justin Tuck (knee) and safety Charles Woodson (shoulder) as probable. The Browns will play without linebacker Scott Solomon (ankle), running back Robert Turbin (ankle) and cornerback K’Waun Williams (concussion). Defensive end Desmond Bryant (shoulder) and cornerback Justin Gilbert (hamstring) are questionable.
Falcons at Cowboys
The Falcons ruled out running back Tevin Coleman (ribs), wide receiver Devin Hester (toe) and linebacker Brooks Reed (groin), but wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is probable after another limited week of practice. Tight end Jason Witten (ankle, knee) drew a probable tag from the Cowboys, who won’t have wide receiver Dez Bryant (foot), defensive end Randy Gregory (ankle) or defensive end Jeremy Mincey (concussion). Guard Ron Leary (groin) has a chance to return after drawing a questionable tag.
Buccaneers at Texans
Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (shoulder) is out this week and expected to miss several more. Center Evan Smith (ankle) and safety Major Wright (abdomen) are doubtful to play while defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (shoulder) is questionable after being limited in practice all week. Safety Lonnie Ballentine (knee), left tackle Duane Brown (hand), running back Arian Foster (groin) and linebacker Mike Mohamed (calf) are all out for Houston. Tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz (knee), running back Jonathan Grimes (knee) and guard Xavier Su’a-Filo (calf) are all questionable and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (concussion) is probable.
Chargers at Vikings
Ruling out safety Jahleel Addae (ankle), wide receiver Jacoby Jones (ankle), guard Johnnie Troutman (forearm) and linebacker Tourek Williams (foot) will take much of the guesswork out of the Chargers inactive list. The list could be rounded out by guard D.J. Fluker (ankle), tight end Ladarius Green (concussion) and cornerback Jason Verrett (foot) if they fall on the wrong side of their questionable tags. Vikings guard Brandon Fusco (concussion) is questionable after practicing on Thursday and Friday and is the only injury issue of note for the home team.
Jaguars at Patriots
Jacksonville won’t have defensive end Andre Branch (knee), cornerback Dwayne Gratz (ankle) and tight end Julius Thomas (hand) as they try to win in New England. Defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks (knee) and running back Denard Robinson (knee) are likely to miss the game as well after drawing questionable tags. Safety Johnathan Cyprien (calf), tackle Luke Joeckel (ankle) and guard Brandon Linder (knee) are all questionable. Patriots center Ryan Wendell (illness) remains out and defensive tackle Dominique Easley (hip) is questionable.
Eagles at Jets
The Eagles ruled out linebacker Kiko Alonso (knee), defensive end Taylor Hart (shoulder), linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) and defensive end Cedric Thornton (hand). Running back DeMarco Murray (hamstring) is questionable and expected to play. Jets coach Todd Bowles called wide receiver Eric Decker (knee), running back Chris Ivory (quadricep) and cornerback Darrelle Revis (groin) game-time decisions, although only Revis practiced this week. Wide receiver Chris Owusu (knee) and linebacker Trevor Reilly (finger) definitely won’t play and guard Willie Colon (groin) is also questionable. Quarterback Geno Smith (jaw) is probable, which may make him the backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick come Sunday.
Steelers at Rams
The Steelers defense will go without defensive tackle Daniel McCullers (knee) and linebacker Ryan Shazier (shoulder) while cornerback Cortez Allen (knee) is questionable. Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) is questionable to make his pro debut.
Colts at Titans
The Colts have ruled out cornerbacks Darius Butler (hip) and Greg Toler (neck) again this week, but they remain hopeful that Vontae Davis (concussion) will play. Tight end Dwayne Allen (ankle) is also out and linebacker Trent Cole (knee) joins Davis on the questionable pile. Titans cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) is questionable for what would be his 2015 debut, but defensive tackle Sammie Hill (knee), cornerback Cody Riggs (knee) and guard Chance Warmack (knee) have been ruled out.
49ers at Cardinals
Running back Reggie Bush (calf) is doubtful after missing the last 49ers game. Wide receiver Bruce Ellington (ankle) and tight end Vance McDonald (knee) are both questionable. The other Ellington in this game, Cardinals running back Andre Ellington (knee), is doubtful while wide receiver J.J. Nelson (shoulder) has been ruled out. Guard Mike Iupati (knee) is questionable and has a good chance to play for the first time this season.
Bills at Dolphins
Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is probable, but wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ribs) and safety Aaron Williams (neck) have been ruled out. It doesn’t look good for Dolphins tackle Branden Albert (hamstring, doubtful) or tight end Dion Sims (concussion, doubtful) and we’ll wait to hear about questionable tight end Jordan Cameron (groin), running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and defensive tackle Earl Mitchell (back).
Bears at Seahawks
The Bears head to Seattle without quarterback Jay Cutler (hamstring) or wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf). Linebacker Jon Bostic (ankle) is doubtful while defensive end Ego Ferguson (knee), linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee), cornerback Tracy Porter (hamstring) and wide receiver Eddie Royal (back, hip) drew questionable tags. Cornerback Tharold Simon (toe) and safety Steven Terrell (hip) are out for Seattle, which should have safety Kam Chancellor in the lineup for the first time this year. Running back Marshawn Lynch (calf) and tight end Luke Willson (back) are both questionable.
Broncos at Lions
The Broncos don’t expect to have cornerback Kayvon Webster (ankle, doubtful) and they’ll make calls on defensive end Kenny Anunike (knee) and cornerback Omar Bolden (foot) come Sunday. The Lions ruled out tight end Brandon Pettigrew (hamstring) and there’s no indication that linebacker DeAndre Levy (hip) will play despite the doubtful tag leaving open a sliver of hope. Quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) is set to start, however.
