Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Note: The list below includes new injuries. However, players like Chris Godwin, Isaiah Likely and Xavier Worthy, who aren’t officially on injured reserve (IR), the Non-Football Injury/Illness list (NFI) or the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, will remain on this report.

Quarterback

J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)

J.J. McCarthy suffered an ankle injury following the team’s Week 2 home loss against the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 3, Carson Wentz got the start and the Vikings dominated the Cincinnati Bengals, 48-10.

McCarthy has been ruled out for Week 4, and Wentz will once again get the start as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland.

Mac Jones (QB – SF)

Mac Jones didn’t leave the game, but after a hit, he was seen limping and later had a knee brace on. This is something to monitor.

Running Back

Zach Charbonnet (RB – SEA)

Zach Charbonnet was ruled out ahead of Week 3 with a midfoot sprain injury. His status for Week 4 is unclear. With him out, fellow running back Kenneth Walker had two rushing touchdowns in the Seahawks’ decimation of the New Orleans Saints.

Najee Harris (RB – LAC)

Najee Harris was injured during the Chargers’ matchup against AFC West foe Denver. It appears to be an Achilles injury. If so, his season will be over.

James Conner (RB – ARI)

James Conner injured his ankle/leg during the Cardinals’ road trip against the San Francisco 49ers. He was carted off the field in a serious and potentially season-ending injury.

Samaje Perine (RB – CIN)

Samaje Perine left Week 3’s loss to the Vikings with a thumb injury. The injury occurred in the first half. If he’s out, Tahj Brooks is the next man up in the Bengals’ backfield behind Chase Brown.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)

Tyrone Tracy Jr. left the Giants’ Week 3 Sunday Night Football affair against the Chiefs with a shoulder injury.

Wide Receiver

Chris Godwin (WR – TB)

Chris Godwin (ankle) hasn’t been placed on IR. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported there’s a “strong chance” Godwin will play in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

Xavier Worthy suffered a right shoulder dislocation in Week 1. He wasn’t placed on IR, but hasn’t played since.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

Mike Evans left the Buccaneers’ win over the New York Jets due to a hamstring injury. He was seen on the sideline, visibly upset by the injury.

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)

CeeDee Lamb left the Cowboys’ Week 3 loss early against the Chicago Bears with an ankle injury. He appears to have escaped a serious injury, but his Week 4 status is unclear.

Terry McLaurin (WR – WSH)

Up 34-10, Terry McLaurin left the Commanders’ big-time win over the Las Vegas Raiders with a quad injury. It’s unclear if he’ll miss time or if he was simply ruled out due to the massive lead.

Alec Pierce (WR – IND)

After catching four passes for 67 yards, Alec Pierce left the Colts’ win over the Tennessee Titans with a concussion.

Dyami Brown (WR – JAX)

Dyami Brown left the Jaguars’ Week 3 win at home over the Houston Texans after injuring his shoulder.

Tight End

Isaiah Likely is dealing with a foot injury that required surgery. Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta believes he’ll be back in the early portion of the season.

Colston Loveland (TE – CHI)

Rookie tight end Colston Loveland left the Bears’ win over the Cowboys in Week 3 with a hip injury. He finished with just one catch for 31 yards.
