NFL Injury Report: Tracking Week 14 Injuries For Notable Fantasy Football Stars

10:55 a.m.: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Julio Jones playing Sunday isn’t promising.

10:30 a.m.: The New Orleans Saints could be without star rookie wide receiver Michael Thomas, who is dealing with a foot ailment, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He’ll be a game-time decision.

His teammate, running back Mark Ingram, is expected to play, though.

10:20 a.m.: The Denver Broncos will have their starting quarterback under center for Week 14 after Trevor Siemian missed Week 13 with a foot injury.

10:15 a.m.: Arguably the biggest name questionable for Week 14 after Julio Jones is Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed, who dislocated his shoulder on Thanksgiving and missed Week 13’s game because of it. It seems he’ll be able to go on Sunday.

Across the field,  the Philadelphia Eagles will get reinforcements from a few banged-up players as well, though one youngster will be sitting out.

Ryan Mathews’ role might be diminished, however.

10:05 a.m. ET: Here’s a look at a few names around the rest of the NFL who have question marks regarding their status entering Sunday’s games.

The New York Giants should be getting reinforcements.

New York’s opponents, the Dallas Cowboys, will be without one of their kick returners.

Here’s an update on a few Detroit Lions.

The injuries keep mounting for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Browns will finally get the quarterback they intended to start all season back from injury.

And a few notable defenders won’t play again in Week 14.

Who knows what’s happening in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ backfield.

9:45 a.m. ET: Here’s what we know about Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. In short, there have been some encouraging signs, but he’ll be a game-time decision in his 4:25 p.m. ET start in Los Angeles.

9 a.m. ET: Decisions, decisions, decisions.

It’s Week 14 of the NFL season, which means your fantasy football league has reached the playoffs. In other words, every detail is magnified and every decision counts; one wrong move can end your season, no matter how great your record has been.

Among the biggest dilemmas facing fantasy owners this week? Whether to start Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. The elite wide receiver leads the league in receiving yards by a wide margin, but is suffering from turf toe, which could either keep him out of Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Rams or limit him if he plays. Making matters worse, the usual 1 o’clock-er gets a late start at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, making the decision to start or sit him all the more grueling.

Stay tuned throughout the day, as we’ll keep you updated with all the latest news and rumors regarding players’ health and status.
