NFL Week 17 injury report: Browns’ Amari Cooper inactive vs. Jets; C.J. Stroud clears concussion protocol

Per usual, injuries will play a big role in the NFL’s upcoming slate of games. There are several notable ones to keep an eye on in Week 17, including the injury status of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase. 

Those are just two in what is seemingly an ocean full of injuries heading into Week 17. To help sort through it all, we’ve put together a team-by-team list of each notable injury. Make sure to keep this story bookmarked as we’ll be providing updates on each team’s injury reports. 

Jets at Browns (Thursday night)

Trevor Siemian will get the start for the Jets this week as Rodgers and Wilson are out. Greg Zuerlein is active despite battling an illness. Lazard is also out for Week 17.

Cooper is inactive after his heel didn’t feel right in pre-game warmups, per NFL Media.

No Taylor Decker (groin) for the Lions, as the left tackle was downgraded from limited to a non-participant. Center Frank Ragnow (toe/back/knee) and right tackle Penei Sewell (shoulder) were full participants. 

The Cowboys gave guard Zack Martin a rest day and tackle Tyron Smith (back) missed a second straight practice. 

It’s a lengthy initial injury report for the Patriots as offensive tackle Trent Brown (illness), safety Jalen Mills (concussion) and safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) missed practice. Defensive linemen Christian Barmore (knee) and Myles Bryant (chest) were limited. 

For the Bills, edge rusher Leonard Floyd (wrist/rib) did not practice, but the team also gave Floyd a “rest” designation. Edge rusher Von Miller also had a rest day, so he didn’t practice. Linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle), safety Micah Myde (stinger) and defensive end A.J. Epenesa (rib) were limited. Tight end Hunter Henry (knee) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) were also limited.
