Injuries are becoming a bigger factor as we approach the midway point of the NFL regular season. Some teams continue to be hit hard by the injury bug, while others have been relatively lucky to avoid very serious injuries.
The Ravens are among the teams that have suffered a notable injury to a star player. The good news for Baltimore fans is that Lamar Jackson is expected to play this week after sitting out the last three games with an ankle injury. The Ravens need all the help they can get as they prepare to face the Bills and MVP frontrunner Josh Allen.
Below is a summary of each team’s final Week 8 injury report. Stay tuned to this page as we provide updates throughout the evening.
Crows in Bills
Ravens: TBA
Bills: WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) OUT; OT Spencer Brown (back), CB Dee Alford (ankle), TE Dalton Kincaid (chest), WR DJ Moore (shoulder), DT Greg Gaines (lower body)
Kincaid wore a non-contact jersey during Friday’s practice, but that didn’t stop him from hitting the dummy after catching it. Moore also practiced non-contact on Friday.

Browns: CB Myles Harden (hamstring), T Tytus Howard (concussion), DB Daniel Thomas (ankle) Doubtful
Steelers: CB Doneiko Slaughter (hamstring), CB Brandin Echols (hamstring) OUT; WR Ben Skowronek (calf) Questionable
Skowronek (who hasn’t played since Week 5) would be a notable addition to the Steelers if he can play. In addition to being a Pro Bowler special teams player, Skowronek developed a relationship with Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. His presence on offense will be welcome as the Steelers have been dealing with injuries at receiver.
Falcons at Buccaneers
Falcons: TBA
Buccaneers: WR Emeka Egbuka OUT; RB Kenny Gainwell, OT Luke Goedeke Doubtful
Egbuka was ruled out after failing to train on Friday. Conversely, Gainwell was a full participant on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Goedeke trained for the first time this week on Friday in the limited squad.
