The Packers quarterback appears to have avoided a serious injury Sunday, after additional testing on his groin did not reveal any significant structural damage. The final diagnosis is a groin strain, likely considered a low-grade or mild strain.

A nightmare season has gone from bad to worse as Dallas' starting quarterback and top receiver suffered injuries in a loss to Atlanta. Prescott suffered a strained hamstring late in the game and was unable to finish the contest. Though Prescott sounded optimistic after the game, testing on the injured muscle revealed a more moderate strain than anticipated. The team is expected to be without his services for multiple games, and the injured reserve could be in play.

Despite returning from the IR late last week, Collins did not play in the team's loss to the Lions. The Texans receiver has now missed five games in a row with a hamstring strain. He will get his next chance in Week 11 when Houston takes on Dallas on Monday Night. As a result, Collins will get an extra day to test his leg and see if he is ready to return to action. While the added day of prep is advantageous for Collins, it will put fantasy managers in a precarious position. Anyone counting on Collins would prefer to get confirmation prior to Sunday's games if he will be available. If not, they run the risk of being left short-handed if the receiver is once again a late scratch. Tread cautiously if you are invested here and don't have shares of another Texans or Cowboys receiving option.

We have reached the part of the season where it's hard to find a fantasy team that doesn't have at least one injured player on the roster. As a result, let's do a quick all-Turf Burns look at the numerous injuries that are wreaking havoc around the NFL.

Thanksgiving and football go together like turkey and pumpkin pie, but the holiday schedule puts a strain on multiple teams as they have fewer days to prepare for Week 13. Eight teams play Thursday and Friday, including the NFC's top ranked Lions, who's top receiver was a surprise addition to the injury report Monday.

After a relatively quiet few weeks, injuries were back in full force in Week 13, including several players whose injuries could swing fantasy leagues.

The playoffs are upon us as the war of attrition that is fantasy football rolls on. Injuries continue to mount, so let's do an all-Turf Burns look at the many ailments teams are facing.

Jeff Stotts discusses injuries this week that will likely have ramifications on both Super Bowl and fantasy championship aspirations, starting with Patrick Mahomes who was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.

Christmas Day will mark the beginning of Championship week in most fantasy leagues with managers contending for the ultimate prize. Unfortunately, a condensed week of prep could play a major role in deciding these outcomes. As a result, the wise manager will make like Santa and be sure to check the injury list multiple times leading up to start of Week 17 and the New Year.

The 2024 NFL regular season is entering its final week with a single playoff spot up for grabs in each conference. Seeding also remains in flux, meaning certain teams will be forced to play out the schedule while others will rest players in anticipation of the postseason. Let's take one last look at the injuries for the week ahead as well as a few ailments that could, or could not, impact 2025.
