Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season is almost here and teams are sending out their final injury reports for the week in preparation for the upcoming matchups. Injuries have plagued this season already and each week it seems we are seeing a top player go down.
Teams have needed to restructure and make new plans as key players are unavailable, with numerous quarterbacks out. This week, Bears QB Caleb Williams is questionable and could make his return, while QB Jayden Daniels is good to go.
This week, the Chiefs and Panthers are on a bye, so they have some time to get healthy for Week 6.
Here's a look at the final injury reports for Sunday:
Philadelphia Eagles at Jacksonville Jaguars (-7) in London
Eagles: RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring), WR Marquise Brown (ankle), WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), C Drew Kendall (knee), S Marcus Epps (groin) OUT; OLB Jonathan Greenard (ankle) QUESTIONABLE
Jaguars: CB Jaylon Jones (hamstring) OUT; S Eric Murray (concussion) DOUBTFUL
The already struggling Eagles will be without star running back Saquon Barkley, who suffered a hamstring injury during last week's loss to the Rams. The offense will also be without WR DeVonta Smith.
The Jags are relatively healthy heading into their annual London game, with just two players with designations this week. CB Jaylon Jones was ruled out with a hamstring injury, despite being limited in practice all week, and Eric Murray is doubtful after being limited for the last two days of practice.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (-2.5)
Bears: RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), LB Keyshaun Elliott (quad) OUT; QB Caleb Williams (hamstring), DL Shemar Turner (knee), LB Noah Sewell (Achilles), DB Kyler Gordon (calf) QUESTIONABLE
Packers: RB Chris Brooks (ankle), WR Savion Williams (ankle) OUT; G Aaron Banks (knee/toe), OL Jacob Monk (quad) DOUBTFUL; OL Jager Burton (back), DT Anthony Campbell (ankle), DT Javon Hargrave (toe) QUESTIONABLE
The Bears have a chance to get their starting quarterback back on the field this week, after missing Caleb Williams for two weeks with a hamstring injury. Williams was limited in practice on Friday after not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. Last week, the Bears turned to backup Tyson Bagent in his absence. The Bears' offense will also be without running back Kyle Monangai.
The Packers are also without a running back, as Chris Brooks is dealing with an ankle injury. Running back Pierre Strong will play his first game since 2024 with Brooks out. Green Bay's defensive tackle Javon Hargrave is questionable with a toe injury after he was limited in Friday's practice.
Houston Texans (-7.5) at Tennessee Titans
Texans: WR Tank Dell (knee) OUT; OT Aireontae Ersery (illness), OT Blake Fisher (illness), OT Braden Smith (foot), G Ed Ingram (illness), DT Kayden McDonald (ankle), S M.J. Stewart (knee) QUESTIONABLE
Titans: S Amani Hooker (concussion) OUT; WR Carnell Tate (back), TE David Martin-Robinson (hamstring), CB Joshua Williams (pec) QUESTIONABLE
The Texans' offense will be without WR Tank Dell, who is their only player ruled out ahead of Sunday's game as he continues to recover from a knee injury. The Texans activated his 21-day window to return from IR this week, and he was limited in two practices this week, while being a non-participant on Friday. It seems like Houston is closer to having their wideout back. The good news for the Texans is Azeez Al-Shaair is not on the injury report.
The Titans also only have one player out ahead of the divisional matchup. S Amani Hooker is out with a concussion. WR Carnell Tate is questionable with a back injury and head coach Robert Saleh said he would be "good to go" for Sunday.
Cincinnati Bengals (-6.5) at Miami Dolphins
Bengals: S Kyle Dugger (quad) OUT; WR Ja'Marr Chase (concussion), WR Tee Higgins (groin/neck), WR Colbie Young (knee), LB Swayze Bozeman (groin), S Bryan Cook (ankle) QUESTIONABLE
Dolphins: WR Caleb Douglas (ankle), TE Justin Joly (concussion), EDGE Robert Beal Jr. (hamstring), CB Reese Taylor (quad) OUT; RB Jaylen Wright (foot), DL Kenneth Grant (toe), LB Jackson Woodard (ankle), CB Storm Duck (knee) QUESTIONABLE
The Bengals only have one player out this week, S Kyle Duggar, who is out with a quad injury. The big news is WRs Tee Higgins (groin/neck) and Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) are questionable. Chase did not practice on Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. Higgins did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was a full participant on Friday.
The Dolphins have numerous players out this week. Of their questionable players, LB Jackson Woodard was limited on Friday after not practicing the other two days of the week, DT Kenneth Grant was limited on Wednesday and Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. RB Jaylen Wright was limited on Thursday and Friday, while CB Storm Duck was a full participant all week.
Las Vegas Raiders at New England Patriots (-3.5)
Raiders: WR Jalen Nailor (concussion), WR Dont'e Thornton Jr. (hamstring), G Trey Zuhn III (knee) OUT; RB Ashton Jeanty (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
Patriots: FB Reggie Gilliam (ankle/knee), WR Mack Hollins (calf), CB Channing Canada (hamstring), CB Carlton Davis (neck), CB Christian Gonzalez (shoulder), CB Karon Prunty (hamstring) OUT; RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee), OT Morgan Moses (foot), DT Christian Barmore (shoulder), LB Christian Elliss (chest), LB Dre'Mont Jones (shoulder), CB Charles Woods (shoulder), S Craig Woodson (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
The Raiders have a relatively short injury report this week. RB Ashton Jeanty is their only questionable player and he is dealing with a hamstring injury. He was downgraded from a full participant on Wednesday to a limited participant on Thursday, and he did not practice on Friday. TE Brock Bowers (knee) was not given a game designation after being a full participant on Thursday and Friday.
The Patriots will once again be without their top defender, Christian Gonzalez, who is dealing with a shoulder injury. The defense will also be without cornerback Carlton Davis, who didn't practice last week. The good news for the defense is that they may get Christian Barmore back after missing him last week. They will also be without wide receiver Mack Hollins, who suffered a calf injury last week. They are already without WR A.J. Brown, so losing any more pass catchers is a major hit to Drake Maye's offense.
Minnesota Vikings (-1.5) at New Orleans Saints
Vikings: OT Christian Darrisaw (concussion), CB Charles Demmings (hamstring) OUT; WR Jordan Addison (hamstring), WR Justin Jefferson (ankle), TE Ben Yurosek (ankle), OT Brian O'Neill (knee), C Michael Jurgens (elbow) QUESTIONABLE
Saints: G Jeremiah Wright (concussion), LB Kaden Elliss (calf), LB Anfernee Jennings (knee) OUT; RB Alvin Kamara (back), WR Barion Brown (thigh), S Julian Blackmon (shoulder)
The biggest question mark for the Vikings surrounds WR Justin Jefferson, who is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited in practice all week. Another WR with a questionable status is Jordan Addison, who was upgraded to limited on Thursday and Friday after not practicing on Wednesday.
The Saints had a long injury report on their short week and have six players with injury designations, including three ruled out. QB Tyler Shough was on the injury report with a left hand injury, but was not given a game designation.
Cleveland Browns at New York Jets (-1.5)
Browns: QB Dillon Gabriel (back), WR Tylan Wallace (knee), TE Carsen Ryan (calf), G Teven Jenkins (back), DT Mason Graham (knee/ankle), DT Mike Hall (ankle), DT Kalia Davis (quad) OUT
Jets: RB Breece Hall (quad), WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), OL Dylan Parham (knee), LB Francisco Mauigoa (quad) OUT; WR Tim Patrick (groin), EDGE Kingsley Enagbare (knee), EDGE Will McDonald IV (calf) QUESTIONABLE

Over on the Steelers side, WR Michael Pittman is out with a foot injury, CB Jamel Dean is out with an ankle injury and S DeShon Elliott is out with a knee injury. RB Rico Dowdle was limited all week with a toe injury and CB Jalen Ramsey was limited on Thursday and Friday after being sidelined in Wednesday's practice with a wrist injury.

The Giants are healthy heading into their divisional matchup. They have two players with game designations and both are out.
The good news for Washington is QB Jayden Daniels will play. The Commanders' injury report is a bit longer, with six players out ahead of Sunday, including WR Stefon Diggs and DE Charles Dmenihu. Coach Dan Quinn said WR Terry McLaurin "looked really good," but didn't confirm whether he will play or not. McLaurin did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday and was limited on Friday.
