‘Thursday Night Football’ quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Chris Godwin of the Buccaneers are questionable for the NFL postseason.
The NFL is sadly a league where injuries are commonplace, and over the last seven weeks, every one of the 32 teams has had to deal with health-related issues.
Ryan Tannehill may lose a considerable amount of time owing to an ankle injury sustained in London, Daniel Jones has not played in a few weeks due to a neck ailment, and the San Francisco 49ers has a number of injured players. Deshaun Watson is still battling with a shoulder injury.
Let’s examine the injuries that have occurred in the NFL. The final injury assessment for Thursday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Bucs, as well as the week injury reports of each of the 28 NFL teams scheduled to play on Sunday, are broken down below.
Expect the starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield, to suit today as well. He participated fully in Tampa Bay’s practice on Wednesday.
Mayfield stated during the week that he is currently only attempting to manage his knee pain. Since he has a history of playing through ailments, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ought to use Mayfield on Thursday night.
In Vita The most questionable situation concerns Vea, whose status is expected to be determined at game time due to a groin injury.
He did not take part in any of Tampa Bay’s practices this week, in contrast to Godwin and Mayfield. Vea leads the squad in sacks, thus losing him would be devastating.
Because Mostert has an ankle ailment, the Dolphins have put him to their injury report. He did not practice last Wednesday, but it is yet unknown if the team decided to take precautions or if he was unable to.
Going ahead, fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation, particularly with Jeff Wilson Jr. back to the lineup and ready to see more action in this backfield.
When the Bucs play the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, they will be missing two players. Special teams member and safety Kaevon Merriweather is recuperating from an ankle injury, and guard Matt Feiler will be replaced by Aaron Stinnie due to a knee injury.
Baker Mayfield, the quarterback, is probably playing, but wide receiver Chris Godwin or defensive tackle Vita Veal are classified as doubtful.
Vea has missed three practices in a row, thus it seems unlikely that he will play considering his lack of involvement.
GARDEN PARK The other day, wide receiver Stefon Diggs stated that the Buffalo Bills must return to “us being us” in order to overcome their current slump.
Diggs remarked, “You’ve seen it; I’ve experienced it.” “Josh was flying around creating plays, a lot pf touchdowns, collecting a lot of points; we’ve been flying over making plays out there.”
He is correct, as we have seen, as the Bills’ offense has been among the most potent in the NFL when Diggs joined the squad in 2020, and Buffalo has captured the AFC Eastern division title each of the last three years.
During this brief week, Allen talked about how he needed to control his emotions and energy levels because he feels like he plays the most effective ball whenever he does that—when he’s not Sugar High Josh.
“You’re just trying to maintain this ‘low positive’ state, where your energy isn’t too high and you’re letting your mind be free to think and just stay aware of everything,” said Allen.
However, I would point out that Allen performed rather poorly in the Bills’ defeat to New England, and the team has to get him back on track.
One approach to achieve this would be to quicken the offensive tempo, since Allen appears to perform best when the Bills are moving quickly—a trait he demonstrated in that game and numerous others during his career.
