Every player unavailable for all 32 NFL teams, team by team.<\/strong> Two different things are listed for each club, and the difference matters. Out long term<\/strong> covers injured reserve, PUP and the reserve lists, which rule a player out for a minimum number of games or longer. Week 3 designations<\/strong> are the Out, Doubtful and Questionable tags clubs file for a single game, and those land on Friday afternoon Eastern.<\/p>\n

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. A star sitting out Wednesday for rest appears; a starter playing through something painful often does not.<\/p>\n

259 players are currently out long term across the league<\/strong>, an average of eight a club. San Francisco carry the heaviest load at 17. This page is rebuilt every Friday once the weekly reports land, and the long-term lists are refreshed alongside them.<\/p>\n

The number beside each team is how many players it currently has out long term, on injured reserve, PUP or a reserve list. Ten or more is flagged in red.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What the designations actually mean<\/h2>\n

Two systems run side by side, and conflating them is the most common mistake readers make.<\/p>\n

Roster designations<\/strong> are long term. IR<\/b> means injured reserve, out for a minimum number of games. IR with a return designation<\/b> means the club expects them back this season. PUP<\/b> is a physically unable to perform designation carried in from the offseason. The reserve and exempt lists cover players unavailable for reasons that are not always injury, and a suspension is not an injury at all, which is why it is labelled separately here.<\/p>\n

Game designations<\/strong> are weekly, and clubs file them on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a Sunday game. Only the Friday version carries the game status.<\/p>\n
