NFL Week 17 injury report: Texans’ C.J. Stroud clears protocol; Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence misses practice

Per usual, injuries will play a big role in the NFL’s upcoming slate of games. There are several notable ones to keep an eye on in Week 17, including the injury status of Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase.

Those are just two in what is seemingly an ocean full of injuries heading into Week 17. To help sort through it all, we’ve put together a team-by-team list of each notable injury. Make sure to keep this story bookmarked as we’ll be providing updates on each team’s injury reports.

No Taylor Decker (groin) for the Lions, as the left tackle was downgraded from limited to a non-participant. Center Frank Ragnow (toe/back/knee) and right tackle Penei Sewell (shoulder) were full participants.

The Cowboys gave guard Zack Martin a rest day and tackle Tyron Smith (back) missed a second straight practice.

The Patriots have a lengthy initial injury report, with offensive tackle Trent Brown (illness), safety Jalen Mills (concussion), and safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) all missing practice. Christian Barmore (knee) and Myles Bryant (chest) were both limited.

Edge rusher Leonard Floyd (wrist/rib) did not practice for the Bills, but he was given a “rest” designation. Von Miller had a rest day as well, so he did not practice. Linebacker Terrel Bernard (ankle), safety Micah Myde (stinger), and defensive end A.J. Epenesa (rib) all had limited playing time. Hunter Henry (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) were also limited.

The Falcons’ offensive line is hampered by injuries to Chris Lindstrom (ankle), Jake Matthews (knee), and Kaleb McGary (knee). Taylor Heinicke (ankle) was also sidelined. Cordarrelle Patterson, the running back, took the day off.

The Rams’ injury report only listed two players. Joe Noteboom (foot) and Tre Tomlinson (hamstring) did not participate in practice.

On Wednesday, the Giants had a lengthy injury report, which makes sense given that they just played Monday and had a walkthrough (closed practice).
