NFL News NFL News, Reports and Updates
At this point in the season, all 32 NFL teams are dealing with injuries. Even some of the best players in the world. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is nursing an ankle sprain that had his availability in question, Eagles running back and MVP candidate Saquon Barkley is “dealing with a little something,” and then the Lions currently have a whopping 21 players on injured reserve.

Chiefs: T D.J. Humphries (hamstring), CB Chamarri Conner (concussion) OUT
For the Texans, Harris didn’t practice on Thursday after not appearing on the injury report the previous two days. In Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes (ankle) has no injury designation after being a full practice participant all week.
Jackson was limited on Thursday, so expect backup James Pierre to receive a considerable workload even if Jackson is cleared to play. Ogunjobi was a full practice participant on Thursday, while Elliot was downgraded to out for Saturday after initially being labeled as doubtful.
For the Ravens, Oweh was limited the previous two days after not practicing on Tuesday. With Agholor out, Bateman’s status looms even larger. Baltimore’s next man up at receiver is Tylan Wallace, who caught his first career touchdown on an 84-yard play during the Ravens’ Week 5 win over the Bengals.
