Headliners to Watch This Week

Lamar Jackson – QB, Ravens

Injury: Toe
Status: Did Not Practice Monday – Questionable
Baltimore’s entire offensive rhythm hinges on Jackson’s mobility. A toe injury is more than a footnote — if he can’t push off or explode laterally, their playbook shrinks. The Ravens are preparing Tyler Huntley as insurance.

Kyle Hamilton – S, Ravens

Injury: Ankle
Status: Did Not Practice – Questionable
One of the league’s most versatile defenders is limited. Baltimore’s secondary plays an entirely different brand of football when Hamilton isn’t patrolling the field. His availability will impact their defensive game plan.

Tee Higgins – WR, Bengals

Injury: Concussion
Status: Out
Cincinnati will be without one of their primary weapons. With Higgins sidelined, expect increased pressure on Ja’Marr Chase and more tight-window throws from the quarterback. The Bengals lose a major possession receiver in key situations.

Paulson Adebo – CB, Giants

Injury: Knee (MCL)
Status: Questionable
The Giants rely heavily on Adebo’s length and ball skills. A weakened secondary heading into a tough matchup could expose New York to big-play threats.

Dalton Kincaid – TE, Bills

Injury: Hamstring
Status: Questionable
Buffalo’s offense leans on Kincaid for quick-hit routes and red-zone mismatches. A hamstring issue for a route-running tight end is always a concern. His availability may dictate how aggressive the Bills can be in the middle of the field.

Long-Term / IR Updates

Several players are locked into extended absences that alter roster depth and season outlooks.

• Jay Higgins IV – LB
  Knee injury, eligible to return Week 15. The middle of the Colts’ defense loses a key communicator until further notice.

• Nnamdi Madubuike – DL
  Out for the season with a neck injury, removing a disruptive interior presence that Baltimore counted on for pressure packages.

Teams across the league are adjusting schemes, shifting rotations, and relying more heavily on younger talent as injuries pile up.

Final Word
