Week 16 injury report roundup

Week 15 kicked off on Thursday with an Eagles win and it continues with 12 more games on Saturday as most of the league plays a day earlier than normal because of Christmas. There will be two games on Christmas day as well, which means 28 teams turned in their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

Questionable players are uncertain to play, doubtful players are unlikely to play and out should be self-explanatory. Players who are on active rosters and don’t appear below should be considered in the lineup barring any announcements on Saturday. The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Sunday.
