Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend
Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend The regular season is over, so the reported injuries have cooled significantly. However, with so much on the line playing Playoff Fantasy Football, monitoring injuries is as important as ever. Our Injury Report: Wild Card Weekend will keep you updated on the latest from around the NFL. Also, don’t forget to check out weekly rankings before you finalize this week’s lineups. Also, bookmarking our NFL Injury Report is a great way to stay updated on the latest injuries. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Jalen Hurts (QB) Philadelphia Eagles – Hurts was limited on Wednesday but is expected to fully clear the NFL’s concussion protocol on Thursday. That would put him in line to start. We will update Discord when news breaks. Jordan Love (QB) Green Bay Packers – Love exited Week 18 with an elbow injury and has been limited in practice. That sounds concerning but there isn’t much concern that Love will miss this game or be limited. We’ll keep an eye on it. Zay Flowers (WR) Baltimore Ravens – Dealing with a knee injury, Flowers has not practiced and is considered unlikely to play by NFL insider Ian Rapoport. However, Todd Monken said the team is “hopeful” that Flowers can suit up. However, with the Ravens being 10-point home favorites, we don’t think Flowers plays. UPDATE: Flowers has been ruled OUT. Ravens OC Todd Monken said he’s “hopeful” that injured WR Zay Flowers (knee) can still play Saturday but believes the team has the players who can step up if he cannot play pic.twitter.com/wRsIQ4Oz7P — Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) January 8, 2025 A.J. Brown (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Brown was limited Wednesday with a knee/rest designation. However, he’s expected to be a full-go for Sunday. J.K. Dobbins (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – An ankle injury kept Dobbins limited on Wednesday. However, he has not had a setback and is expected to be fine against the Texans. Jalen McMillian (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Full participant. Cade Otton (TE) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Otton missed the final two regular-season games with a knee injury but has been a limited practice participant all week. That puts him in a position to return to the lineup. Dallas Goedert (TE) Philadelphia Eagles – Goedert was a full participant and should be good to go. Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Missed practice Wednesday due to illness. Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – Cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full at Wednesday’s practice. Josh Palmer (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Palmer missed LA’s regular-season finale with a heel injury and has yet to practice this week. Therefore, it’s unlikely that Palmer will have much if any, role against the Texans. UPDATE: Palmer is OUT. Sterling Shepard (WR) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The veteran is dealing with foot and knee injuries and was limited. However, there is no concern that he will miss Sunday’s tilt. Malik Willis (QB) Green Bay Packers – Limited in practice with a thumb injury, but Willis should be fine to sit behind Jordan Love in Philadelphia.

Fantasy Football Injury Report
Fantasy Football Injury Report The NFL Playoffs have arrived but that doesn’t mean the fantasy season is over. In fact, 2024 FullTime Fantasy Playoff League drafts are now underway! But before you start your playoff drafts, our Fantasy Football Injury Report will keep you up-to-date on all the fantasy-relevant injuries for the 14 teams in the NFL playoffs. Injuries on both sides of the ball play a more crucial role in the postseason. Also, some late-season ailments have the potential to affect players in 2024. We will cover all those here in the Wild Card Round Fantasy Football Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Jalen Hurts (QB) Philadelphia Eagles – Hurts dislocated his middle finger on his throwing hand in Sunday’s loss. But the good news is that the X-rays were negative. The reeling Eagles can ill-afford to be without their star quarterback and it looks like Hurts will be under center in Tampa. Sam LaPorta (TE) Detroit Lions – Anyone who saw LaPorta’s hyperextended knee injury was immediately concerned. However, reports indicate there is still a slight possibility that the rookie tight end could be active this week against the Rams. We think that is highly unlikely. Detroit is favored by 3.5 points and in good position to host another playoff game next week. Expect LaPorta to sit, but we will update Discord. Jaylen Waddle (WR) Miami Dolphins – Miami’s defense has been decimated by injuries. However, there is some good news on the other side of the ball. After sitting out the final two regular-season games, there is a strong chance that Jaylen Waddle (ankle) will be good to go in Week 19. Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers– The Niners earned the NFC’s bye, so they’ll give CMC a week off to fully heal. After sitting out last week, that will give McCaffrey two weeks of rest. He will be ready to go next week. Gabe Davis (WR) Buffalo Bills – Davis exited Week 18 with a sprained PCL. The injury is not major, so Davis is day-to-day. We will monitor his practice participation throughout the week. If active, Davis is a known big-play threat with a history of showing up in the postseason. Raheem Mostert (RB) Miami Dolphins – Mostert sat out Miami’s season finale but is expected to play in Kansas City. You can find over/under props for Mostert’s rushing yards this week, which is a good indicator of his availability. As was his Tuesday practice participation. Kenny Pickett (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – By all accounts, Pickett has fully recovered from an ankle injury. However, Mike Tomlin is electing to stick with the ‘hot hand’ in Mason Rudolph. Pittsburgh travels to Buffalo as 9.5-point underdogs in the Wild Card round. T.J. Watt (LB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Further hampering the Steelers’ chances will be playing without their best player. 3-time sack leader T.J. Watt will miss at least one game with a knee injury. Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin ruled out TJ Watt for Pittsburgh’s wild-card matchup vs. the Bills. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 9, 2024 Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers – Doubs had to go to the hospital after he began coughing up blood after taking a shot to the chest. The good news is that he was released within minutes and returned to celebrate with teammates. Doubs is day-to-day. Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans – Brown sat out last week with a back injury and missed practice on Tuesday. The Texans also played without Robert Woods (hip) and he also has yet to return to practice. UPDATE: Woods returned to practice Wednesday but Brown remained sidelined. Justyn Ross (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – Ross is not practicing due to a hamstring injury. Kadarius Toney (hip/ankle) is limited. Cedric Tillman (WR) Cleveland Browns – Tillman is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Dustin Hopkins (PK) Cleveland Brown – A hamstring injury is expected to sideline Hopkins for Cleveland’s return trip to Houston. Riley Patterson will kick for the Browns.
