NFL Week 16 injuries: Tyreek Hill, Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Stroud still missing from practice

Just three weeks remain in the 2023 regular season and this weekend’s holiday slate is primed to feature several matchups that could shake up the playoff picture.

As is the case throughout every season, injuries are set to be a key storyline for this weekend. 

With most of the league getting on the practice field for the first time on Wednesday, let’s take the temperature of the various injury situations. Below, you’ll find the initial injury reports for teams playing on Sunday, the second practice report for the Bengals, Steelers, Bills, and Chargers leading up to their Saturday matchups, and the final injury report for Saints-Rams, who’ll kick off Week 16 on Thursday.
