Sunday Morning Injury Check – Skill Guys to Watch Before Inactives Drop

[Statmaster Sal]

It's 10 AM and inactives don't post until about 90 minutes before each kickoff, so treat everything below as fluid. Here's what you need to know right now.

Out – not playing:

Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens), QB – Ankle. He's out, full stop. Figure out what that Ravens backfield looks like before you fire anyone up in that game.

Rashee Rice (Kansas City Chiefs), WR – Hamstring. Out. Tough loss for Chiefs pass-catchers in a game that's already got a low total.

Adonai Mitchell (New York Jets), WR – Finger. Out. Whoever's behind him on that depth chart gets a longer look.

Ashton Dulin (Indianapolis Colts), WR – Hamstring. Out. Not a target hog but clears the board a little for the guys below him.

Questionable – could go either way:

Tyler Warren (Indianapolis Colts), TE – Groin. One of the bigger calls today. Wait for inactives.

Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints), RB – Back. Don't start him blind. Back injuries on game day are always a red flag.

DJ Moore (Buffalo Bills), WR – Shoulder (AC Joint). AC joint is the kind of thing that can linger. Monitor this one close.

Rico Dowdle (Pittsburgh Steelers), RB – Toe. Toe injuries are sneaky for backs. He's a flex at best this week if he's limited.

Tyjae Spears (Tennessee Titans), RB – Knee. Same deal, knee on a back, wait for the word.

Quinshon Judkins (Cleveland Browns), RB – Foot. Foot injury on a back in an already low-total game, don't overthink it – bench him until you know.

Trevor Etienne (Carolina Panthers), RB – Ankle. Coming off the bye, so at least they had extra time.

Again, official inactives drop roughly 90 minutes before each kickoff – who are you most nervous about from this list?
