There are no teams on bye around the NFL in Week 13, which means we'll be treated to a packed slate of Sunday games even after seeing four games played on Thursday and Friday.
Among the more notable players who will miss this weekend's games are J.K. Dobbins, Josh Downs, Braden Smith, Jordan Whitehead and Dalton Kincaid. And we've got a bunch of players whose statuses are up in the air, like Alex Highsmith, Orlando Brown, Cam Robinson, Alec Pierce, Tristan Wirfs, Keon Coleman and Matt Milano.
We'll have to wait for more information on Saturday night and Sunday morning for many of these players, but for now, here's everything you need to know about the NFL's latest round of injury reports.

Chargers (-2) at Falcons
- Chargers: RB J.K. Dobbins (knee), SAF Alohi Gilman (hamstring), CB Cam Hart (ankle), MLB Denzel Perryman (groin) OUT; LB Daiyan Henley (calf) QUESTIONABLE
- Falcons: RB Jase McClellan (knee), DB Mike Hughes (neck) OUT; K Younghoe Koo (right hip) QUESTIONABLE
Not only will L.A. be without Dobbins, but it will also be missing at least three key defenders. Henley popped up on the Friday injury report for the first time this week, which is never a good sign, either.
We'll find out more about Koo's status when we see if the Chargers elevate a kicker to the active roster on Saturday. If they do, then it's likely he'll be out for the week.
Steelers at Bengals (-2.5)
- Steelers: DB Cory Trice Jr. (hamstring), DT Montravius Adams (knee) OUT; LB Alex Highsmith (ankle) DOUBTFUL
- Bengals: WR Charlie Jones (groin) DOUBTFUL; OT Orlando Brown (fibula) QUESTIONABLE
Highsmith has missed each of the last two games since suffering an injury against Washington in Week 10. He got in a pair of limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but that was the first time he participated since the injury, so he looks unlikely to play. Nick Herbig will continue to pick up extra snaps in his absence.
Brown has missed the last three games but did get upgraded to a full practice on Friday, which is a good sign for his potential availability. Cincinnati's offensive line has been an issue this season, so the Bengals could really use him back.
Texans (-4) at Jaguars

Cardinals at Vikings (-3.5)
- Cardinals: TBD
- Vikings: Vikings: TE Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle), SAF Jay Ward (elbow) OUT; OT Cam Robinson (foot) QUESTIONABLE
Minnesota will again be without Oliver, who operates as the blocking tight end. T.J. Hockenson got closer to a full complement of snaps last week, and could pick up even more on Sunday. Robinson was upgraded to a full practice on Friday, potentially a good sign.
Colts (-3) at Patriots
- Colts: G Tanor Bortolini (concussion), WR Josh Downs (shoulder), WR Ashton Dulin (ankle), OT Braden Smith (personal) OUT; WR Alec Pierce (foot) QUESTIONABLE
- Patriots: TBD
The Colts could be very shorthanded offensively. Two linemen won't be active, and the receiver corps could be seriously depleted if Pierce can't give it a go. There would be a lot of pressure on Michael Pittman and Adonai Mitchell if that's the case.
Seahawks (-2) at Jets

Buccaneers (-6) at Panthers
- Buccaneers: S Tykee Smith (knee), OLB Markees Watts (knee), S Jordan Whitehead (pectoral) OUT; OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (ankle) DOUBTFUL; CB Troy Hill (ankle/foot), OT Tristan Wirfs (knee/foot), OLB Anthony Nelson (personal) QUESTIONABLE
- Panthers: WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps), TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) OUT; OLB Jadeveon Clowney (knee), LB Amare Barno (knee), CB Caleb Farley (shoulder), SAF Nick Scott (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
Tampa is going to be without several contributors defensively. For a unit that has largely struggled this season, it's less than ideal. not having Wirfs could affect Baker Mayfield and the offense, but they did just fine without him last week against the Giants.
Bryce Young will be without a pair of rookie pass catchers for this matchup against the depleted Bucs defense. But the Panthers could also be without several defenders against what has been a very good Tampa offense.
Rams (-3) at Saints
- Rams: TBD

Eagles at Ravens (-3)

49ers at Bills (-7)
- 49ers: TBD
- Bills: TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) OUT; WR Keon Coleman (wrist), DT DeWayne Carter (wrist) LB Matt Milano (biceps) QUESTIONABLE
Dawson Knox will again fill in as the full-time tight end with Kincaid on the sideline. The fact that he was unable to practice even after the Bills took their bye is less than ideal. Coleman was limited in practice all week, so his status is likely up in the air. Both Carter and Milano are still on injured reserve, and would need to be activated on Saturday in order to play.
Browns at Broncos (-5.5), Monday
- Browns: TBD
- Broncos: TBD
