Updated Friday 18 September 2026. Every player carrying a game designation for Week 2, team by team, taken from the official reports. Inactives follow on Sunday, 90 minutes before each kickoff.
An NFL injury report is not a list of who is hurt. It is a list of who the club is prepared to say might not play, which is a narrower and more useful thing. Buffalo and Detroit filed theirs before Thursday night. The 15 Sunday and Monday games have their final designations filed through Friday afternoon Eastern, and the tables below fill in as they land.
What the designations actually mean
Clubs file a report on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a Sunday game, and the Friday version carries the game status. Three designations matter.
- Out. Will not play. No ambiguity, and the only designation you can bet on with confidence.
- Doubtful. The league’s own guidance is that this means unlikely, and in practice the large majority of doubtful players do not play.
- Questionable. Genuinely uncertain, and the one that moves markets on Sunday morning rather than Friday. Roughly half of questionable players suit up, which is why the inactives list 90 minutes before kickoff is the one that settles it.
The practice column matters too. A player listed questionable who took a full practice is a different proposition from one who did not participate at all, even though both carry the same game status.
The absences that move a line
Not every name on a report changes anything. The ones that do cluster in a few places.
- Quarterback. Nothing else on a roster moves a spread as far. A starter ruled out is typically worth several points on its own.
- Offensive line. Underrated by casual markets and heavily weighted by models. Two starters out of a line changes a team’s rushing numbers more than one running back does.
- Secondary. Corners and safeties out tend to shift totals rather than spreads, because the effect shows up in points allowed rather than in who wins.
Running backs and receivers get the headlines and usually matter least, because depth at those positions is deeper than anywhere else on a roster.
Week 2 injury report, game by game
Times are Eastern. A player with no game designation is not on the report, which is not the same as being fully fit.

Inactives: the list that actually decides it
Each club must submit its inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff. That is the moment a questionable player becomes a definite, and it is the last information anyone gets before a game starts.
If you are following a single game, the sequence is: Friday’s report tells you who is doubtful, Sunday’s inactives tell you who is out. Anything in between is speculation.
Where this fits with the rest of our coverage
Injuries are one of three things that move a projection faster than results do, alongside divisional sweeps and points differential. Our NFL power rankings carry the model’s read on all 32 teams and get rebuilt every Tuesday, and the NFL playoff picture shows what the current seeding looks like.
Game-by-game calls sit on the NFL picks page, and how to bet on the NFL in Canada covers the provincial rules on where you can place one. The official league injury page is the source of record.
Questionable means genuinely uncertain. Roughly half of players listed questionable end up playing, which is why the inactives list released 90 minutes before kickoff is the one that settles it rather than the Friday report.
Out means the player will not play, with no ambiguity. Doubtful is the league’s way of saying unlikely, and in practice the large majority of doubtful players do not play. Out is the only designation you can treat as settled.
Clubs file reports on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a Sunday game. The Friday report is the one carrying game designations of out, doubtful or questionable. Inactive lists follow 90 minutes before each kickoff.
Quarterbacks by a wide margin, then offensive line. A starting quarterback ruled out is typically worth several points on a spread. Secondary absences tend to move totals rather than spreads. Running backs and receivers get the headlines and usually matter least, because depth at those positions is greater.
