Injury Report2026 NFL Week 5

Out or Doubtful

• Saquon Barkley (RB, PHI). Out, hamstring, did not practice all week. Pivot: Will Shipley (RB, PHI), the likely lead pass catcher in London with Tank Bigsby on IR, though Dameon Pierce (RB, PHI) could steal early-down carries.
• Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL). Out, ankle. Pivot: Tyler Huntley (QB, BAL) is only a desperation two-QB play, so stream elsewhere and downgrade Ravens pass catchers.
• DeVonta Smith (WR, PHI). Out, hamstring, second straight miss, with Hollywood Brown also out. Pivot: Darius Cooper (WR, PHI), who caught two touchdowns last week and should see heavy snaps.
• Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS). Out again, quad. Pivot: Deebo Samuel (WR, WAS), off the injury report with Jayden Daniels back under center against the Giants.

Questionable

• Ashton Jeanty (RB, LV). Full Wednesday, limited Thursday with a new foot tag, did not practice Friday. Lean sit if you have a safe alternative; Mike Washington Jr. (RB, LV) is the flex hedge.
• Justin Jefferson (WR, MIN). Limited early, practiced Friday, says he plans to play. Lean start in a 1 p.m. window, and keep a bench WR ready.
• Ja'Marr Chase (WR, CIN). Full practice Friday but still in concussion protocol. Lean start if cleared Saturday; Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) is also questionable and day-to-day.
• Keenan Allen (WR, IND). Missed Week 4, full practice Friday. Lean start as a WR3, with Alec Pierce out for the Colts.

Game-time Decisions

Jeanty and Alvin Kamara (RB, NO) are true 90-minute calls in 1 p.m. games, so slot a later-kickoff back behind them. Jefferson, Chase, and Higgins all kick at 1 p.m. too; if you start one, leave a 4 p.m. receiver in your flex so you can swap if the inactives bite.
