NFL storylines seem to change on a daily basis. Last week, the big story was Christian McCaffrey being traded from the Panthers to the 49ers in a move that kick-started what should be an interesting time in the NFL ahead of the trade deadline. The news shifted to Indianapolis this week after the Colts made the shocking decision to bench Matt Ryan after just seven games.
While the NFL news cycle is nonstop, injury news -- for better or worse -- seems to always remain at the forefront of the league's main headlines. That is certainly the case in Week 8, as several high-profile players are dealing with injuries as the season reaches the midway point.
Below is a rundown of every NFL team's main injury news midway through the regular season's eighth week. Be sure to bookmark this story, as we'll be providing updates throughout the day as teams continue to post their respective injury reports.
Ravens at Buccaneers (Thursday night)
Ravens: DE Calais Campbell (illness) OUT; TE Mark Andrews (knee), LB Josh Bynes (quad), RB Gus Edwards (knee), CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring), CB Marcus Peters (quad), OT Ronnie Stanley (ankle), CB Brandon Stephens (oblique), WR Rashod Bateman (foot) QUESTIONABLE
Buccaneers: TE Cameron Brate (neck), CB Carlton Davis (hip), WR Russell Gage (hamstring), OG Luke Goedeke (foot), CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad), S Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion) OUT; DE Akiem Hicks (foot), WR Julio Jones (knee) QUESTIONABLE
Campbell is the only player for Baltimore that was ruled out on Wednesday, as he's sick. While the Ravens' injury report looks a bit scary, Humphrey, Peters, Stanley, Stephens and Bateman were all full participants in practice on Wednesday. However, Andrews didn't practice all week, which is pretty worrisome. He is Lamar Jackson's top target.
The Buccaneers are going to be short-handed in the secondary this week, as Davis, Murphy-Bunting and Winfield were all ruled out on Wednesday. All three players did not practice at all this week. Hicks is questionable with his foot injury, and was a limited participant in practice all week. As for Julio, he returned to practice as a limited participant on Tuesday after missing Monday's session, and could be in line to return to the lineup for the first time since Week 4.
