NFL Week 16 injuries: Colts’ Michael Pittman downgraded to out; Texans’ C.J. Stroud still concussed

Just three weeks remain in the 2023 NFL regular season, and this weekend’s holiday slate features several matchups that could shake up the playoff picture. The Ravens, Chiefs, Dolphins and Lions could all clinch their respective divisions if the dominos fall in their favor, while the Browns also have the potential to clinch a playoff spot this weekend. As is the case throughout every season, injuries are a key storyline for this weekend. 

With most of the league injury reports already in, let’s take the temperature of the various injury situations. Below, you’ll find the final injury reports for teams playing on Saturday and Sunday. 

All NFL odds via SportsLine consensus.

Buffalo won’t have one of its best defensive players this week, as Hyde has been ruled out due to a stinger. He was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. However, the Bills could receive a boost with the return of Jones, who was limited all week with his pectoral injury. Epenesa, who is also listed as questionable, was limited all week with his rib injury. 

The Chargers will be without a couple starters in their first game post-Brandon Staley, as Bosa and Allen won’t take the field. L.A. also released team captain Sebastian Joseph-Day on Friday. 

Moss is questionable to play despite the fact that he did not practice all week, but Jonathan Taylor has no game designation and will play. Pittman is questionable to play with a shoulder injury. He was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Friday and a full participant Thursday. 

Atlanta could be down a couple of starters on the defensive side of the ball, as Dupree and Onyemata are questionable to play. Both were limited participants in practice Friday.
