Injury Report
The injury report, in plain words
One board for the names fans are searching for today, across the NFL and NBA, with the tag each team gave them and what that tag has meant in the past.
The NFL Board — Nov 5, 2026
Philadelphia Eagles · QB · vs New York Giants
Named the starter Wednesday, benching Tanner McKee. The third-year quarterback makes his first NFL start Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Philadelphia Eagles · RB · vs Dallas Cowboys
Questionable with a hamstring injury after missing two games. Full practice Saturday, but the final call comes with the inactive list, about 90 minutes before kickoff. DeVonta Smith is out.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers · QB · at Carolina Panthers
Back after three games out with a dislocated right thumb. Full practice all week, a special glove on his throwing hand, and Bowles said Friday he looks ready to go.
Chicago Bears · TE
Carted off Thursday night with a right knee injury. Coach Ben Johnson says he will miss the rest of the season and is headed to injured reserve.
Los Angeles Rams · WR · vs Las Vegas Raiders
Hurt his calf in Thursday practice and will not practice Friday. His status for Sunday is still up in the air.
Baltimore Ravens · QB · vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Needs surgery on his right thumb and is headed to injured reserve. The injury could potentially end his season. Rookie Joe Fagnano starts tonight.
Los Angeles Rams · WR
On injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring. He will not play against the Raiders, and the Rams are thin at receiver without him.
Baltimore Ravens · QB
Started the last two games while Jackson was out and went 1-1. If Jackson can't go, Huntley is the next man up again.
Indianapolis Colts · CB · at Minnesota Vikings
Ruled out with a calf injury. He hurt it against Tennessee on Sunday, did not practice all week, and is week-to-week.
Indianapolis Colts · TE · at Minnesota Vikings
Out for the second straight game with a groin injury. Hurt in practice last Friday and hasn't practiced since.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers · WR · at Carolina Panthers
Ruled out for Sunday. He practiced Friday in a limited way but did not clear the concussion protocol in time.
NBA Board
NBA hub →
Dallas Mavericks · PG
The name on every trade list, and the least likely to move. Dallas has told teams since June it won't even field calls about him. Powell, Herro and Porter lead the 10-player trade board.
Minnesota Timberwolves · G · vs Golden State Warriors
Status for Wednesday vs Golden State is not yet verified. He was listed questionable for Monday at Cleveland with right-knee injury maintenance.
New Orleans Pelicans · C · vs Denver Nuggets
Started Saturday in Denver with Yves Missi out with a left knee bone bruise. Wednesday's rematch starter depends on Missi's knee.
Chicago Bulls · G · at Milwaukee Bucks
Listed as probable with a left wrist sprain on the NBA injury report, so the working call is that he plays Friday.
Cleveland Cavaliers · C · vs Philadelphia 76ers
Listed as questionable with right patellar tendinopathy. Cleveland's big-man minutes change a lot if he sits.
Chicago Bulls · C
Listed as out with a left hamstring strain on the Bulls injury report.
What the tags really mean
Out
He is not playing. In the NFL this is final once it is on the Friday report or the inactive list. In the NBA, an out tag on game day is final too.
Doubtful
Almost out. Once in a while a doubtful player dresses, but teams and fans should plan as if he is sitting.
Questionable
The true coin flip. Practice work late in the week is the best clue: a full Friday practice points to playing, no practice points the other way.
Probable
He is expected to play. In the NBA this tag is used a lot, and probable players suit up the great majority of the time.
Our rule on this page
We do not guess and call it news. Every status here traces back to a team report or a named reporter, and when the honest answer is “we don't know yet,” we say that, and we say when the answer will come.

FAQs
is he playing right now
This board updates through game day. If his game has started, the status here reflects the latest team report; the final inactive list lands 90 minutes before kickoff.
is he still playing today
Once a player is ruled out, he stays out for that game. If he is listed as questionable, the final call comes with the inactive list.
will he play today
The tags on this board are the answer: out means no, probable means almost certainly yes, questionable means the final call comes 90 minutes before kickoff.
will he play tomorrow
Tomorrow's status comes from the next injury report. Practice reports land midweek for NFL games and the morning of the game for NBA.
is he practicing today
Practice participation is the best clue before the game. A full practice points to playing; no practice points the other way. Player pages carry the latest practice note.
is he currently on the field
During a game, the player's page shows whether he has taken the field. Before kickoff, this board shows his latest status from the team report.
he's not playing today
If a player is listed as out on this board, he is not playing today. The page names who takes his place and when he could return.
is he playing this weekend
Weekend games are covered on the NFL and college football boards. The Friday injury report is the key one — it sets the out, doubtful and questionable tags for Sunday.
