It's that time of year again, when health matters to NFL teams almost as much as talent and coaching. As the calendar Julio Urias Jersey flips from autumn to winter, injuries are beginning to mount. Teams out of the playoff race are placing their banged-up pieces of tomorrow on injured reserve. Teams in the playoff running are simply trying to survive as long as po sible.Welcome to our Week 16 injury check-in, where we'll take a look at every team's initial injury report heading into the weekend so you know what important players are banged up heading into a pivotal week that'll go a long ways toward determining the playoff field and seeding. It's worth noting that there are three Saturday games: at , at , and at . You'll find the injury reports for those three games listed at the top.Let's get to all the games.Wednesday practice report notesTexans -3 at BuccaneersTwo key Texans offensive players mi sed practice: receiver (illne s) and running back (ankle, not injury related). Receiver (hamstring) and (hand) were limited. On the defensive side of the ball, the Texans are banged up at linebacker. (Achilles and shoulder) and Jacob Martin (knee) were limited, and mi sed practice with a concu sion.Over in Tampa Bay, quarterback (right thumb, knee) practiced in a limited capacity and receiver (hamstring) didn't practice. Left tackle (ankle, knee) and kicker (right groin) were both limited.Patriots -6.5 vs. BillsOnly one key Patriots player mi sed practice. That would be cornerback , who is dealing with a groin injury. Limited at practice were receiver (knee, shoulder), linebacker (shoulder), cornerback (groin), and defensive lineman (shoulder).The Bills are almost entirely healthy heading into their biggest game of the season. Only two backups -- defensive tackle (limited with a knee i sue) and offensive tackle (mi sed practice with an ankle i sue) -- weren't able to practice fully.49ers -6.5 vs. RamsThree different Niners defenders mi sed practice: pa s rusher Dee Ford (quad, hamstring), safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) and defensive tackle Jullian Taylor (elbow). Ford, the most notable of the trio, also sat out San Francisco's Week 15 lo s to the Falcons. Pro Bowl corner Richard Sherman (hamstring) was a full go and shouldn't have any limitations for this NFC West rematch. -7 vs. Star wideout Julio Jones (shoulder) was limited at practice along with five others, but he's also played through the injury for a few weeks. He should be fine and is primed for a big outing against Jacksonville's leaky defense. Kicker Younghoe Koo (foot) was also limited, however, and could be worth monitoring. Running back Kenjon Barner (knee, shoulder), who had a return touchdown a few weeks back, sat out, as did tight end Luke Stocker (hip).In Jacksonville, starting quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) was the biggest name on Wednesday's report with a limited designation, but all indications are that he'll be fine to suit up against Atlanta. Ditto for his favorite target, receiver D.J. Chark (ankle). Linemen Brandon Linder (knee) and Calais Campbell (back), just named to another Pro Bowl, were the only two to sit out. -2.5 at Two Saints starters mi sed practice: safety Von Bell (knee) and right guard (knee). It's also worth noting that Bell's backup on the depth chart, C.J. Gardner-Johnson (concu sion) mi sed practice too. Meanwhile, four more Los Angeles Dodgers Blank Jersey starters were limited at practice: linebacker (quadricep), left tackle (ankle), left guard (forearm), and right tackle (knee).For the Titans, it's notable that cornerback (foot), running back (hamstring), and receiver (ankle) were all limited while receiver (ankle) did not practice. Obviously, Henry and Jackson are the two biggest names to keep an eye on heading into the weekend. -2.5 vs. Safety Landon Collins (Achilles), who wasn't particularly good against the Eagles in Week 15, mi sed Wednesday's practice. So did corner Fabian Moreau (hamstring). All of the active-roster offensive playmakers, however, were good to go, as QB Dwayne Haskins (ankle) and RB Adrian Peterson (toe) were full participants.The biggest news is that is set to make his return from an ankle injury that allowed to enjoy a final swansong. Jones practiced in full on Wednesday, putting him on track to regain his starting job. Most importantly, that means Manning Don Sutton Jersey is likely to finish his career with a 117-117 record as a starter. -3 at Steelers receiver (knee) was limited and cornerback was absent due to an illne s. Tight end (concu sion) logged a full practice.For the Jets, right guard (calf) and receiver (hamstring, knee) mi sed practice while safety (ankle), defensive lineman (shoulder), left tackle (ankle), and defensive lineman (neck) were limited. -1 vs. The Dolphins didn't see a single player mi s practice, but six were limited, including receivers (hip), (ankle, knee), and (hip), and cornerback (groin).The Bengals might not be good, but at least they're mostly healthy. Star receiver A.J. Green (ankle) did not practice, but we already knew he wasn't likely to play again this season. Right guard mi sed practice due to an illne s. -7 vs. Four different Colts defenders mi sed practice two days after getting shellacked by the Saints, as DT Denico Autry (concu sion), CBs Kenny Moore (ankle) and Quincy Wilson (shoulder), and safety Malik Hooker (hand) all sat out Wednesday.The good news for the Panthers is that tight end (concu sion) practiced in full. The bad news is that several important defensive players like defensive tackle (knee), defensive end (shoulder), safety (shoulder), and linebacker Shaq Thompson (ankle) all mi sed practice. The Panthers are clearly banged up defensively. -10 at As the Ravens look to clinch home-field advantage throughout the postseason, they're remarkably healthy. Offensive tackle (concu sion) practiced in full. The only players who mi sed practice did so for non-injury-related reasons.The Browns were mi sing center JC Tretter (knee) and defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (back) to start the week. Bigger names to keep an eye on are out wide: Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) and Jarvis Landry (hip), both of whom have played through questionable tags for weeks and remained limited. OT Chris Hubbard (knee) was also limited, along with CB Trevor Bauer Jersey Denzel Ward (ankle) and DE Olivier Vernon (knee). -7 vs. for the Broncos, according to Vic Fangio. The pricey free agent addition has appeared in only three games this season. Right guard Ron Leary (concu sion), left guard (illne s), and defensive end (knee) all mi sed practice. Tight end (shoulder) was limited.For the Lions, linebacker (hamstring) and defensive tackle (shoulder) didn't practice. Fellow linebacker (shoulder), running back (knee), and right tackle (knee) were limited. But defensive tackle (knee, calf) was able to log a full practice. -6.5 vs. The biggest news for the Chargers is that left tackle mi sed practice with a groin injury and receiver was limited with a knee.The biggest news regarding this game pertains to Raiders running back , who -2.5 at Quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) has never mi sed a game -- or a practice -- for Dallas, but he was held back Wednesday with limitations to his throwing shoulder, an effect of a hit into the ground in Week 15. As of right now, all signs point to Prescott suiting up, but inexperienced reserve Cooper Rush can't be ruled out as an emergency starter for this must-win game just yet. OT La'el Collins (knee) was also limited, while OT Tyron Smith (eye), DE Michael Bennett (foot, illne s) and LBs Sean Lee (pectoral, thigh) and Leighton Vander Esch (neck) sat out and could be sidelined for Sunday.The Eagles are still banged up heading into the game that will likely decide their season. Receiver (knee), defensive end (ankle), and right tackle (ankle) all mi sed practice. Meanwhile, right guard (calf), defensive tackle (triceps), cornerback (hip flexor), and running back (shoulder) were all limited. -9.5 vs. Seattle had nearly a half-dozen notables out of practice on Wednesday: pa s rusher Jadeveon Clowney (core), linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle), safety Quandre Diggs (ankle) and linemen Duane Brown (biceps, knee) and George Fant (illne s). Another six were limited, including LB Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) and guard Mike Iupati (neck).The Cardinals were mi sing receiver Christian Kirk (ankle), lineman Justin Pugh (back) and inside linebacker Jordan Hicks (calf) at practice. -5.5 at Only one Chiefs player mi sed practice: left guard (illne s, ankle, Fernando Valenzuela Jersey shoulder). Running back (rib) was limited. The good news is that quarterback (right hand) and (shoulder) practiced in full.Neither receiver (concu sion) nor right tackle (ankle) practiced for the Bears, which doesn't bode well heading into their matchup with the Chiefs. Defensive end , who made his return last week after a lengthy absence, was not on the injury report.
