NFL Roster Updates for Week 14

Here is the NFL Roster updates for list of the players who sustained injuries before week 14 and they are made active/inactive according to their injury status at their last minute by their team management.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has a right ankle injury.

 

According to head coach Doug Pederson, Lawrence’s playing status against the Cleveland Browns will be decided on game day. Limited practice sessions were held by Lawrence on Thursday and Friday, and Pederson expressed optimism that Lawrence will play. Lawrence sprained his left knee against Indianapolis earlier this season, but he played four days later in New Orleans after suffering a toe injury against Detroit last season, during which he missed no starts. The backup is C.J. Beathard.

Puka Nacua, Wide Receiver, Los Angeles Rams Shoulder Injury

Despite having an AC injury, Nacua stated he won’t be unable to play against the Baltimore Ravens. In Week 13, Nacua had a shoulder injury, but he returned to action. On the injury report from Wednesday, he was classified as limited; however, on Thursday, he participated fully in practice.

QB Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens  injury.

Jackson, who missed practice on Thursday due to an illness, is expected to start against the Los Angeles Rams. He seemed like himself on Friday, making some warm-up passes before leaping to hit the crossbar. “He felt good, full of life,” said John Harbaugh, the coach of the Ravens. “He appeared well in the photo. He had returned.” Jackson has thrown 28 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his 18-1 career vs the NFC.

Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans in Concussion protocol

Henry was pulled in the fourth quarter of last week’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts because it was believed he had concussion symptoms. Following the game, the Titans assessed Henry and conducted symptom testing on Monday. Henry showed no signs of a concussion so he wasn’t placed into protocol.Thursday, a day off for him normally, saw him not practicing. Monday’s game against the Miami Dolphins is anticipated to feature the seasoned running back.

Saints Chris Olave, wide receiver; quarterback Derek Carr
Injury: Illness; ribs, right shoulder, concussion

Olave has been sick(flu) and has missed the last two days of practice. Although Olave’s status is officially labeled as uncertain, coach Dennis Allen expressed optimism that the receiver will recover by Sunday.

Carr is doubtful despite being in the concussion protocol; he practiced extensively on Friday. Carr also lists injuries to his shoulder and ribs, but only the concussion would prevent him from playing. Carr has undergone the concussion protocol twice in the last month.

Saints’ WR Rashid Shaheed, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a thigh injury, is  expected to miss play vs. the Panthers but has a chance to return next week vs. the Giants, per source.

Quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, Geno Smith (groin) Seahawks’ RBs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee)

Smith sustained a groin injury during practice on Thursday, which has the Seahawks listing him as questionable for their Sunday matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Coach Pete Carroll responded, “We’ll see,” adding that Seattle rested Smith on Friday when asked whether he thought the player would play. On Thursday, Smith was noted as a limited participant. If Smith is unable to play, Drew Lock will get his first start as a Seahawk. Seattle is not expected to decide on his availability for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers until pregame warmups.

Seahawks’ RBs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee), both listed as questionable for Sunday, both are expected to play vs. the 49ers, per Adam Schefter https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1733710112131260755?s=20

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert got his forearm fractured.

Goedert is anticipated to make a comeback on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. After surgery and an injury sustained during the Eagles’ Week 9 victory over Dallas, he has missed the previous three games. With Goedert out of the lineup, quarterback Jalen Hurts’ time before throwing has increased, but his effectiveness has decreased. Though it’s probably unrealistic to expect Goedert to be at full strength, he intends to play at a high level and the idea is to bring him back into the mix as soon as possible.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Vita Vea, DT, and Lavonte David, LB, suffered toe and groin injuries.

Vea did not practice this week due to a toe injury he sustained during last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Vea is still possibly in the mix for Sunday, according to coach Todd Bowles, and he has not been ruled out.

With a groin issue that has kept him out of action for the last two weeks, David is anticipated to play, which is important considering that the Bucs only had one healthy inside linebacker last week. He probably doesn’t have any limitations because he participated fully in practice the entire week.

Breece Hall, running back, New York Jets with Ankle Injury

After being absent for two full days, Hall returned to practice on Friday. Coach Robert Saleh anticipates that Hall will play on Sunday against the Houston Texans. The amount is the question. Dalvin Cook, who has outperformed Hall in a smaller sample size over the last four games, may end up getting more carries than Hall.

A.J. Terrell, cornerback; David Onyemata, defensive tackle, Atlanta Falcons

After sustaining a concussion against the New York Jets last week, Terrell’s status was uncertain. Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play Sunday vs. the Buccaneers.

Tre Flowers or Clark Phillips III will step in for Terrell if he is unable to go. Jeff Okudah, Atlanta’s other starting cornerback, is also doubtful due to an ankle injury. He is headed in the right path, he told ESPN on Friday, but he is unsure if he will participate. Mike Hughes, CB (hand), is also dubious.

Buffalo Bills’ Dawson Knox, TE, suffered a wrist injury

Knox was a full participant in practice all week following right wrist surgery after his 21-day window was opened this week, Bills activated TE Dawson Knox from Injured Reserve October is when the tight end’s last game was played.

Chicago Bears: St. Brown, wide receiver; Tyler Scott, wide receiver; Velus Jones Jr., wide receiver
Injuries: Hamstring; pectoral

Due to a pectoral injury that held him out of practice on Thursday and Friday, St. Brown is no longer with the Bears after Chicago’s wide receiver depth suffered during practice late this week. Relative to how important his 4.4 speed has been for the receiver and return specialist, Scott’s hamstring ailment, which appeared on Friday, is alarming. The Bears will kickoff with their third-string returner if Jones is unavailable and Scott is unable to play.

Frank Ragnow, C, Detroit Lions Knee, Back, Toe Injuries

The Pro Bowl center is out against the Chicago Bears after skipping all of practice this week. Graham Glasgow, an experienced offensive lineman, will probably start for the Lions in Ragnow’s absence.

49ers Ray Ray McCloud III WR (RIBS)

For the second week in a row, McCloud was already ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. He will have to sit out the next four games at the very least, but he can play again in Week 18 against the Rams on January 7. San Francisco added Chris Conley to the active roster in a similar move.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer suffered a right knee sprain.

Palmer has been declared out this week despite making his first return to practice this week since being placed on injured reserve prior to the Chargers’ Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets. Palmer can be activated from injured reserve by the Chargers within 21 days, but head coach Brandon Staley stated there is “no timeline” for his return.

These were the Last day NFL Roster Updates for coming match-ups in week 14 from their respective team managements shared with media.
