From Justin Jefferson to Ja’Marr Chase, 5 Biggest Injury Misses for NFL Week 10

The first game of NFL Week 10 was a memorable one between the Bears and the Panthers, with the Bears coming out on top after a close-fought battle. But the NFL injury report for the week is out, and it might not be memorable for the teams playing on Sunday.

This report will discuss the most significant injury misses from 5 sides this week. Each of these players is a key member of their corresponding team.

NFL injury report Week 10: Notable names to miss

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts will take on the Patriots in Frankfurt in an international series game this weekend. The Colts miss CB JuJu Brents (quadriceps) and TE Drew Ogletree (foot) for the match. WR Josh Downs (knee) and WR Alex Pierce (ankle) are questionable.

Downs’ miss will be a big one for the Colts. The rookie WR has proven highly valuable for the Colts and has been ranked PFF’s Top 15 rookie after Week 9. He has 41 carries for 483 yards and 2 touchdowns so far in the season.

New England Patriots

On the other hand, the Patriots are missing T Trent Brown (ankle), CB J.C. Jackson (personal), and WR Devante Parker (concussion), who did not join the squad for the Germany trip. Parker’s miss is notable.

The Patriots have lately depended on the WR amid their struggles for a perfect starter. In a season where GOAT Bill Belichick faces the heat to leave, the late addition of Parker to the squad has been one of the positives for the Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals will take on the Texans this Sunday. The team misses some big names in WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Sam Hubbard (ankle). WR Ja’Marr Chase (back) is also listed as questionable to make things worse for the team.

Chase is the rushing and receiving leader on the team, with 64 for 697 yards and 4 touchdowns. If he has to miss out, Chase will be dearly missed in a game against the high-flying Texans and a QB like CJ Stroud.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers will take on the Packers on Sunday and miss out on S Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) and DT Montravious Adams (ankle).

The Steelers have not been at their best, and lately, there have been demands for offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s removal. But Canada worked hard to pull off a crucial win against the Titans on November 3, which was made tougher by Fitzpatrick’s absence. He now misses a second game in a row.

Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings will take on the Saints in the Week 10 game. The team has a few names listed as questionable, such as WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring), TE TJ Hockenson (ribs), and LB Brian Asamoah (ankle).

However, the team does not expect Jefferson to start, who is their leading rusher. The WR has 36 receives for 571 yards and 3 touchdowns. After missing Kirk Cousins, the Vikings might not want the same for Jefferson and will pray he returns soon.

From the report, the Bengals are the team with the worst injury list, while the Colts aren’t too far behind. And this can take a toll on their seasonal run as well.

How the week might look with important names missing?

The first game of the week already turned out to be wild, with a 79-yard touchdown from the Panthers against the Bears. And the remaining games are too good not to follow up, especially the atmosphere for the Colts vs. the Patriots game in Germany will be notable.

Look out for the 5 teams mentioned above, as they will miss some of their key players next Sunday. The injuries could affect the teams’ overall performance, further complicating their run in the season. In the comments, give us your predictions for the best games and best performers of the week.
