NEW ARTICLE: Week 19 NFL Injury Report: Latest news on Tua Tagovailoa, Lamar Jackson, Gus Edwards and Raheem Mostert
1. Mecole Hardman
Hardman was activated from injured reserve last week but did not play against the Raiders on Saturday. He was able to practice in a limited capacity, and he intends to participate in the playoffs.
He caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games before being placed on injured reserve in Week 9, so if he is healthy enough to play, he will have a significant impact on the Chiefs.
2. Tyreek Hill
UPDATE (Jan. 13): Active
The Dolphins’ top receiver suffered an ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Jets.
He was able to walk to the sideline, but in frustration he threw his helmet. Being active and healthy is crucial for the Dolphins’ offense, which has already taken some hits this week. He has 1,687 yards on the season.
3. Mike Williams
UPDATE (Jan. 15): Mike Williams (back) will not play in Saturday’s wild-card game against Jacksonville, but he could return for the divisional round if the Chargers advance.
UPDATE (Jan. 13): Mike Williams’ status for Saturday’s playoff game against the Jaguars is listed as questionable due to a back injury.
Despite Williams’ continued absence from Thursday’s practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Chargers will give the wideout until game time before deciding whether or not he will play in Saturday night’s 8:15 p.m. contest.
The Chargers received criticism this week for playing their entire starting lineup in a meaningless game.
Mike Williams was able to walk to the sideline, but was eventually carted off the field and had considerable difficulty walking from the locker room to the bus following the game.
The absence of any fracture on his X-rays led the medical staff to conclude that he was suffering from back spasms. If they can get it under control, he may be able to play this weekend against the Jaguars in the wild-card round.
