Here's your Saturday afternoon Skill Player-Only Injury Report.
The injury designations listed below (QUESTIONABLE, DOUBTFUL, and OUT) are from the official NFL Injury Report, released by the league office. Monday designations are from either the league or the updated injury reports provided by the teams' media relations departments (via social media or the official team websites).
The "outlook" comments -- optimistic, uncertain, and pessimistic -- for players with QUESTIONABLE and DOUBTFUL designations are our own. They're based on local and national reporting, practice participation, and coaches' comments.
