Week 9 Injury Updates
Current status: TBD. Reports suggest he’s likely to play, though his snap count may be limited (Week 8: 60%). High re-injury risk remains.
Return likely in Week 10. Data indicates it may take around four games for him to ramp up his touches fully.
Expected to play. No production dip is projected, but he carries a ~15% risk of re-aggravation.
Out for now, with an average recovery time of 2-3 weeks. With a bye in Week 10, expect him back by Week 11.
Managed a 58% snap share in Week 8. Expect him to reach 80+% in Week 9, though he’ll carry an elevated re-injury risk for the next three weeks.
Likely out for this week. Average recovery ~2 weeks. High re-injury risk, given he’s had two in-season soft tissue injuries. Potential return in Week 10.
Week 10 looks promising for his return, with no projected dip in production. WR hamstring injuries carry a moderate (~15%) risk of re-injury.
Listed as TBD but limited in practice three times. Data suggests a 60% chance he plays, though WRs typically see reduced targets for two weeks post-return.
Cleared to play with no projected performance dip post-concussion.
Aiming for a Week 10 return. Historically, RBs see a reduced workload in their first game back.
The target return is Week 10. Expect high efficiency but a split in touches, with a high re-aggravation risk.
A gradual increase in touches is expected, with a notable ramp-up by Week 10.
Limited practice three times this week. Data suggests a 60% chance of playing, with a mild dip in production.
On track to play. Data projects an 85% explosiveness level upon return, with TEs typically ramping up over three games.
The timeline suggests a return to practice in the next 1-2 weeks. Expect a ~20% efficiency dip initially and a three-game ramp-up in touches.
Status TBD. Full practice in all three sessions. Leaning towards a Week 9 return with limited touches.
Expected to play. QBs with oblique injuries tend to see a temporary dip in deep passing stats for the first two weeks post-return.
Listed as TBD. Data indicates a 60% chance to play with no production dip, though there’s a risk of re-aggravation.
Good luck in Week 9, and we’ll be back with more updates soon!
