Week 10 -- and the second half of the 2024 regular season -- is upon us. Of course, a new week comes new injury news that we need to follow. The injury bug has been an omnipresent figure throughout the first half of the year and continued to bite in Week 9, and that'll have direct impacts on the upcoming slate. 

One injury storyline worth following revolves around the Dallas Cowboys, as Dak Prescott is likely heading to injured reserve due to a hamstring injury he suffered last week. That'll thrust Cooper Rush in at quarterback as the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles

As for the rest of the injury news throughout the league, we've collected all of the initial injury reports from teams, along with the final reports for Thursday's prime-time matchup between the Bengals and Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (-6) (Thursday)

The Bengals are holding out a sliver of hope for Tee Higgins by not outright ruling him out for Thursday, but the wideout is officially doubtful to play after not practicing at all this week. He continues to deal with a quad injury. Fellow wideout Charlie Jones also didn't practice and is doubtful. On a more positive note, Brown was limited both Tuesday and Wednesday, giving him a shot to play. B.J. Hill also practiced for the first time Wednesday and is questionable. 

After not practicing Tuesday, Lamar Jackson returned to the field Wednesday as a full participant and carries no designation, so he is good to go for Week 10. 

New York Giants (-5.5) at Carolina Panthers (in Munich)

New York did not have receiver Darius Slayton (concussion protocol), guard Greg Van Roten (shoulder) and receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) to begin the week of practice. Star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence also did not practice but was given a rest day. Kicker Graham Gano (hamstring), punter Jamie Gillan (hamstring), tight end Theo Johnson (knee, back) and linebacker Ty Summers (ankle) were limited. 

Carolina gave a wide array of players rest days, including running back Chuba Hubbard. Sticking in the backfield, the team activated rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) off of injured reserve, and he was a full participant at practice Wednesday, so it appears he's in line to make his NFL debut Sunday in Germany. Meanwhile, the Panthers did hold out tackle Ikem Ekwonu (ankle), wideout Adam Thielen (hamstring), and defensive tackle DeShawn Williams (illness) and listed safety Jammie Robinson (knee) as limited. 

Buffalo Bills (-4) at Indianapolis Colts

The Bills, who conducted a walk-through practice Wednesday, were missing rookie receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) to begin the week of practice. The team also limited fellow receivers Amari Cooper (wrist) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) along with cornerback Kaiir Elam (shoulder) and fullback Reggie Gilliam (hip). 

Indy held out linebacker Zaire Franklin (ankle) and receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back, finger) for the first practice of the week. Everyone else was a full participant.

San Francisco 49ers (-5.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
