NFL WeeK 8 Injury Report Card: Impactful Player Absences

Without a doubt, an injury changes the landscape of an NFL player, a team, and even a football season. For NFL fantasy football managers, it’s a nightmare to field a team with injured players. Bettors will always keep a close eye on the current NFL injury card and scrutinize the pro-football betting lines in search of bigger gains. In this NFL WeeK 8 Injury Report, we’ll take a look at the most notable absences that some NFL teams will endure in the upcoming week.

Injuries Galore

Deshaun Watson – QB, Cleveland Browns (shoulder)

His status was questionable to start against the Colts, but he managed to be fit to play. He was forced to exit in the first quarter due to a concussion that was ruled out, but his shoulder injury worsened.

Gerald Everett – TE, Los Angeles Chargers (quad)

The Chargers’ tight end suffered a quad injury and had to leave the NFL matchup, adding 3 receptions, one of them for a touchdown.

Jaylen Waddle – WR, Miami Dolphins (back)

While he’s not on this NFL WeeK 8 Injury Report, the discomfort he experienced in his back during the SNF game against the Eagles could impact the NFL scores for Week 8. Speedster Tyrek Hill will have to carry the offensive load if Waddle isn’t at 100%.

Saquon Barkley – RB, New York Giants (elbow)

After the football game against the Commanders, he mentioned that he suffered an elbow hyperextension. It’s expected that it won’t escalate, and he will be the starter in the Week 8 game against the Jets, but a Saquon injury always raises alarm bells.

Mohamed Ibrahim – RB, Detroit Lions (hip)

Detroit not only suffered a crushing defeat against Lamar Jackson’s Ravens but also lost their running back, Mohamed Ibrahim. He suffered a hip injury that required surgery on the same Sunday to heal.

Other Significant Absences for Week 8

It will be convenient to see how NFL standings are altered with the absence of many of these stars -and even more for bettors and their wagering action- to witness how the NFL odds change for Week 8 of the NFL season. When it comes down to these almost-superhuman athletes, it’s always crucial to stay updated on NFL updates to conduct a more informed game analysis.
