NFL Injury Report — Saturday, September 19, 2026
SATURDAY’S MOST IMPORTANT UPDATES
SAINTS AT RAVENS
Baltimore officially downgraded Zay Flowers to OUT with a hamstring injury. The Ravens also placed cornerback T.J. Tampa on injured reserve. With Flowers and Ja’Kobi Lane unavailable, Rashod Bateman becomes the lead wideout while LaJohntay Wester, Chris Moore and Baltimore’s tight ends should absorb additional opportunities. Ronnie Stanley, John Simpson and Trey Hendrickson remain questionable. NFL Saturday roundup
GIANTS AT RAMS
Puka Nacua missed his second consecutive practice with a hip injury and is QUESTIONABLE for Monday night. Jordan Whittington is DOUBTFUL with a quadriceps injury, leaving Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and the Rams’ tight ends positioned for larger roles if Nacua cannot play. Safety Kamren Kinchens is OUT.
The good news for Los Angeles is that Aaron Donald plans to make his season debut. His return significantly improves a defensive front already missing Myles Garrett. Puka Nacua update Aaron Donald update
The Giants listed cornerback Deonte Banks and linebacker Micah McFadden as QUESTIONABLE. Banks missed the final two practices with a calf injury, while Paulson Adebo has already been placed on injured reserve. New York may start Greg Newsome and rookie Colton Hood at outside cornerback.
STEELERS AT PATRIOTS
Pittsburgh downgraded Michael Pittman Jr. to OUT with a foot injury. The Steelers will be thinner on the perimeter, increasing the importance of DK Metcalf and their tight ends. Starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is also OUT, while left tackle Troy Fautanu remains questionable.
New England downgraded starting cornerback Carlton Davis to OUT because of a neck injury. That creates a favorable matchup area for Pittsburgh’s outside receivers. Running back TreVeyon Henderson is expected to make his season debut, although his initial workload remains uncertain. NFL Saturday roundup
SEAHAWKS AT CARDINALS
Seattle downgraded starting right guard Anthony Bradford to OUT with knee and hip injuries. Christian Haynes is expected to make his first NFL start. The Seahawks are now changing quarterbacks and replacing a starting offensive lineman, with Drew Lock starting for the injured Sam Darnold. That combination remains a meaningful downgrade for Seattle’s offensive projection. Seattle quarterback update
PACKERS AT JETS
Green Bay downgraded defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to OUT with knee and concussion issues. Warren Brinson is also out, leaving the Packers thin along the defensive interior. Edge rusher Lukas Van Ness cleared concussion protocol and was removed from the injury report.
The Jets placed first-round receiver Omar Cooper Jr. on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He will miss at least four games. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, edge rusher Joseph Ossai and running back Kene Nwangwu are also out.
BENGALS AT TEXANS
Joe Burrow remains officially QUESTIONABLE with back tightness, but he practiced fully Friday and is expected to start.
Houston officially ruled Nico Collins OUT with a hamstring injury. Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Dalton Schultz are the primary candidates for additional targets, but the Texans could use a rotation rather than one direct replacement. Starting right guard Ed Ingram, Jadeveon Clowney and linebacker Jacob Hummel are also out.
DOLPHINS AT 49ERS
Miami placed safety Ronnie Harrison on injured reserve Saturday. Edge rusher Chop Robinson is also OUT with a concussion, weakening the Dolphins’ pass rush and coverage depth against San Francisco. Miami elevated Clelin Ferrell and Max Llewellyn for additional defensive depth.
San Francisco placed receiver De’Zhaun Stribling on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Kicker Eddy Piñeiro remains questionable because of an illness, and the 49ers worked out Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo as insurance.
BROWNS AT BUCCANEERS
Cleveland added cornerback Noah Igbinoghene to the injury report Saturday with a hand injury and listed him as QUESTIONABLE. Starting cornerback Tyson Campbell is already questionable, while starting guard Teven Jenkins is OUT. The late secondary addition is important against Tampa Bay’s passing game.
COMMANDERS AT COWBOYS
Washington elevated linebacker Ale Kaho after ruling Frankie Luvu OUT with a groin injury. Ricky Barber was elevated along the defensive line with Javon Kinlaw questionable. Tight end Chig Okonkwo is also OUT, leaving John Bates and Ben Sinnott to handle the position.
Dallas elevated linebackers Justin Barron and Curtis Robinson because DeMarvion Overshown is OUT. Safety Malik Hooker is also OUT, leaving the Cowboys short at two levels of the defense.
CHIEFS VS. COLTS
Kansas City elevated defensive tackle Marcus Harris with Chris Jones still QUESTIONABLE because of a calf injury. Starting tackle Josh Simmons and defensive back Chamarri Conner are OUT. Jones remains the biggest defensive decision for Sunday night.
SATURDAY WATCH LIST
Puka Nacua — Questionable after missing consecutive practices.
Ladd McConkey — Questionable with a rib injury. Quentin Johnston and Trey Harris would gain opportunities if he is inactive or limited.
Brock Bowers — Doubtful following knee surgery. His absence would remove Las Vegas’ primary middle-of-the-field target.
Chris Jones — Questionable with a calf injury. His availability materially changes Kansas City’s interior pass rush.
Troy Fautanu — Questionable with an ankle injury. Pittsburgh is already dealing with receiver and cornerback losses.
Andrew Mukuba — Questionable with a knee injury. Philadelphia elevated safety Maximus Pulley as insurance.
Aaron Banks — Questionable with a knee injury for Green Bay, adding another offensive-line concern.
Final inactive lists will provide the last confirmations approximately 90 minutes before Sunday’s kickoffs.
