Injury Expectations | Midweek Update | Week 18

Jene Bramel's Injury Expectations | Midweek Update | Week 18 Jene Bramel Published 01/05/2022

Early week practice participation and playing expectations

The Wednesday and Thursday practice participation reports are our first chance to see which players each NFL team is limiting in practice after the previous week's games. Players limited in mid-week practice aren't necessarily in danger of missing that week's game. But they all need to be watched closely.

Note: * denotes Saturday players who practice Wednesday/Thursday/Friday.
