Although we have six teams on bye in Week 8, the injury report continues to overflow with big names. The quarterback and wide receiver positions are particularly affected once again this week, and there are still some players whose status may come down to pregame warmups. With plenty to dive into, let’s look at the latest as of Sunday morning: We might have the largest injury report of the season in Week 7, and it’s one that’s loaded with big names at each skill position. The good news is that some of those stars are confirmed or strongly expected to return from absences, but there are multiple stars whose conditions will bear monitoring as both Sunday and Monday unfold. With plenty to dive into, let’s look at the latest as of Sunday morning:
Week 8 Injuries
Week 8 Preview
Injury Report Update
Kickers
The Packers’ Brandon McManus (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday night’s game against the Steelers after finishing the week with consecutive limited practices. If McManus were to miss a third straight game, Lucas Havrisik, who went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on PATs for a second straight game in Week 7 while connecting on a franchise-record 61-yard field goal, will once again serve as Green Bay’s placekicker.
The Commanders’ Matt Gay (back) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Chiefs after missing Saturday’s practice. If Gay is ultimately unable to suit up versus Kansas City, it will be telegraphed ahead of time by the signing of a kicker, as Washington doesn’t have anyone at the position on the active roster or practice squad.
The Giants’ Graham Gano (groin) was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Eagles after putting in a full week of practice. Gano has missed the last five games due to the injury, and the fact Younghoe Koo wasn’t promoted from the practice squad Saturday indicates the former will be ready to make his return versus Philadelphia.
The Bears’ Cairo Santos (thigh) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Ravens but finished the week with two full practices after opening with a limited session Wednesday. As per Saturday reports, Jake Moody wasn’t elevated from the practice squad by the deadline to do so Saturday afternoon, meaning Santos is poised to make his return against Baltimore following a two-game absence.
