NFL Injury Report Week 8

Week 7 is in the books and it’s time to turn our eyes to Week 8 as all 32 teams are in action this week. Injury reports are out for Tuesday’s practice, and there are some notable players to keep an eye on.

Fantasy managers will now officially be without Zach Ertz, who landed on the IR on Tuesday, as well as Dawson Knox, who will be having wrist surgery. Both Dalton Kincaid and Trey McBride will be popular waiver wire adds this week.

Browns running back Jerome Ford will also not play this weekend after being diagnosed with an ankle sprain. He is expected to miss only 1-2 weeks, but Pierre Strong Jr. could be the replacement to roster if Kareem Hunt isn’t available on waivers.

Fantasy managers should also expect to still be without Justin FieldsDavid MontgomeryJames ConnerKhalil Herbert, and Kyren Williams. Be sure to check out my Week 8 waivers article for more replacement options.
