Week 12 injury report roundup

Week 12 kicked off on Thursday with three games and it continues with 12 more games on Sunday, which means that the 24 teams in those games submitted 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.

Cardinals at Falcons

The Cardinals listed CB Justin Bethel (foot, knee), S Christian Bryant (groin), WR Michael Floyd (hamstring), WR Brittan Golden (groin), S Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder), DT Corey Peters (foot), DT Ed Stinson (hip) and G Earl Watford (shoulder) as questionable. Coach Bruce Arians said that Floyd is the only one who will be a game-time decision and that the others are expected to be healthy enough to play.

P Matt Bosher (right hamstring) and CB Desmond Trufant (shoulder) will both be game-time decisions for the Falcons after drawing questionable designations.

The Bengals ruled out WR A.J. Green (hamstring) for this week, but say he isn’t done for the season. TE C.J. Uzomah (calf) and S Shawn Williams (hamstring) are unlikely to play after being listed as doubtful while LS Clark Harris (groin) and S Derron Smith (thigh) head into Sunday with questionable designations.

CB Jimmy Smith (back) is expected to miss a second straight Ravens game after being listed as doubtful. G Alex Lewis (ankle) and RB Lorenzo Taliaferro (thigh) have already been ruled out and a doubtful listing means TE Crockett Gillmore (thigh) is set to sit out as well.

Jaguars at Bills

DE Jared Odrick (shoulder), LB Dan Skuta (back), DE Chris Smith (eye) and TE Julius Thomas (back) won’t play for the Jaguars. Jacksonville listed WR Arrelious Benn (concussion), CB Aaron Colvin (concussion), DT Abry Jones (ankle) and RB T.J. Yeldon (ankle) as questionable.

  1. Chiefs are toast without Maclin. After looking at the injury report above, Denver -3.5 looks appetizing. Denver -3 looks delicious.
