Week 15 NFL injury roundup: Updates on Tee Higgins, Marvin Harrison Jr., Jayden Daniels and more

With one game already in the books, Week 15 of the NFL season is off to an interesting start. Because all of the bye weeks are now in the rearview mirror, there are another 15 games on tap for Sunday and Monday. 

Luckily for football fans, most of the key players for the 30 teams still yet to take the field will be in action for those contests. But there are some who will be out and others whose statuses remain up in the air. 

In the space below, you'll find detailed injury reports for all 14 contests that will take place on Sunday, as well as an initial update on the key Monday night game between the Dolphins and the Steelers.

All Week 15 NFL betting lines via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Cleveland Browns at Chicago Bears (-7.5)

Njoku was injured while catching a touchdown pass last week but has fallen behind Harold Fannin Jr. in snaps. Sampson's absence will mean a larger role for Jerome Ford. Teller's absence and Bitonio's potential absence could hurt the Browns up front against a poor Bears defense. Ward is a key piece in the secondary and will be missed. Tillman hasn't been as large a part of the offense recently as he was early in the season but is still a valuable part of the receiver rotation.

Gordon has played in only three games this year and missed last week against Green Bay. Odunze was limited in practice throughout the week after also missing last week's game against the Packers.

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (+2.5)

Bateman was a late-week addition and then downgraded to DNP on Friday, which is usually not a good sign. Washington practiced fully all week could be be gearing up to return from his extended stay on injured reserve.

Higgins will miss his second game in the last three weeks due to a concussion. Trey Hendrickson was placed on IR and is out for the year, so missing Stewart as well would be a blow to Cincinnati up front.

Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans (-9.5)

Harrison is out for the second week in a row and fourth time in the last five games. The Cards are beset by injuries in the secondary and potentially along the defensive line. If Demercado misses again, they'll also remain shorthanded in the backfield after they did not activate Trey Benson from injured reserve earlier this week.

If Chubb can't go, Woody Marks will again carry the load for the Texans. Bryant and Watson fully practiced on Friday while Speed was limited.

New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars (-13.5)

Brady Cook will start for New York with both Fields and Tyrod Taylor out. The tight end room could be depleted if Smartt joins Taylor on the sideline.

Both Washington and Little got in full practices on Friday, a good sign for their potential availability.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5)

Davis is a valuable returner for the Chargers. Molden's potential absence could hurt on the back end while Pipkins' could force the Chargers deeper into their tackle depth. Johnston did not practice on Friday after being a full participant all week prior to that.

The Chiefs have had issues getting open in recent weeks, and the absence of Brown won't help their offense get back on track. Kansas City is again incredibly banged up along the offensive line. And McDuffie's potential absence would be huge if he can't go. He was limited after suffering a knee injury during last week's game.

Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (+1.5)

Benford was downgraded from limited on Thursday to DNP on Friday, which is usually not a good sign for player availability. Both Bernard and Palmer were limited throughout the week.

Jennings' absence will leave the backfield work to TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson. If Spillane can't go, that could hurt against a Bills offense that loves to run the ball and use multi-tight end sets to hit defenses with play-action passes.

Washington Commanders at New York Giants (-2.5)

Daniels is not yet cleared for contact after aggravating his elbow injury last week. The Commies could be even more shorthanded if Rodriguez and/or Samuel can't play. Rodriguez was limited throughout the week and Samuel did not practice on Friday.

The Giants have all kinds of issues up front on defense, which could be exacerbated if Lawrence, in particular, can't play. Lawrence was a late-week addition to the report, which is usually not a good sign. They could also be shorthanded in the special teams department without their punter and possible their primary return specialist.

Las Vegas Raiders at Philadelphia Eagles (-11.5)

Kenny Pickett will start in place of Geno Smith. He'll have a depleted offensive line in front of him and could potentially be without the team's best blocking tight end as well.

Neither Carter nor Johnson practiced at all this week. They are massive losses on their respective sides of the ball.

Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos (+2.5)

Jacobs got in a limited practice on Friday after not practicing earlier in the week. If he's out, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will carry the load. Van Ness was limited throughout the week.

Denver could be shorthanded up front against the ferocious Green Bay pass rush. McGlinchey was a late-week add and didn't practice on Friday. Bryant's absence will thrust Troy Franklin and potential Lil'Jordan Humphrey into larger roles as outside receivers.

Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Rams (-5.5)

Detroit has a number of injuries in the secondary, specifically at safety, which could be a big liability against the Rams. The injuries along the offensive line could be damaging as well, against L.A.'s strong defensive front. All of their questionable players save for Decker, who didn't practice, were limited throughout the week of practices. 

Adams is listed as questionable, but Sean McVay said he expects the receiver to play.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints (+2.5)

The Panthers have a clean injury report, with zero players listed as questionable, doubtful or out. 

Kamara will miss his third consecutive game. Reid was limited in practices throughout the week.

Tennessee Titans at San Francisco 49ers (-12.5)

Tennessee has three starting offensive linemen listed as questionable here. Cushenberry practiced fully, but Zeitler didn't practice at all on Friday and Moore was limited the final two days of the week.

An already banged-up 49ers defense is still dealing with significant injury issues in the front seven.

Indianapolis Colts at Seattle Seahawks (-13.5)

The Colts are very shorthanded on defense with their two best players out for this game. They'll also be without their right tackle in front of either Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard, whomever makes the start under center.

If Seattle is without both Arroyo and Saubert, that could hamper its ability to use favored multi-tight end sets. Sundell has been out since early November but got in full sessions late this week, a potential good sign for his return.

Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys (-5.5)

Chandler is still in the 21-day window to return from injured reserve. Darrisaw's potential absence would be a huge blow for an offense that struggled badly until going off against the Commanders last week.

Nate Thomas will again start in place of Guyton for Dallas. Clowney upgraded to full on Friday, while Diggs said he's ready to play and Jerry Jones said Ferguson will be good to go as well.

Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) (Monday)

Miami's De'Von Achane has been limited so far this week.

Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt had a procedure to alleviate a partially collapsed lung and will be out for this game.
