Week 10 kicked off with the Chicago Bears edging the Carolina Panthers 16-13 during “Thursday Night Football.” Bryce Young struggled, and even with the win the Bears improved their chances at earning the No. 1 overall pick in next spring’s NFL Draft, thanks to them owning Carolina’s first-round pick.
On to weekend injury news, the Cincinnati Bengals will go up against the player who went after Young in the 2023 NFL Draft, C.J. Stroud, who is coming off a five-touchdown performance during a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Tee Higgins has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, head coach Zac Taylor said. Meanwhile, Ja’Marr Chase practiced Friday as he works through a back injury and is questionable.
“In my head, I said I’m playing until further notice, then we’ll see,” Chase said.
In other wide receiver news, the Minnesota Vikings seemed close getting Justin Jefferson back, but he was ruled out on Saturday. He has missed four games with a hamstring injury and was eligible to return from injured reserve. His official status for Week 10 was downgraded from “questionable.”
The guys and the rest of the coaching staff in this building know my worth on the field and they want me at 100%, as I do as well,” Jefferson said. “I don’t want to go out there at 80 or 90% and have the chance of hurting it again. It’s just day-to-day, and when that time comes, I’ll definitely be ready to step out there.”
Here is the rest of the Week 10 NFL injury report:
