The NFL’s 2025 Wild Card weekend is just around the corner. In under 48 hours, five of six Wild Card games will already be in the books. The teams involved in the pair of Saturday games (Chargers vs Texans, and Steelers vs Ravens) and trio of Sunday games (Broncos vs Bills, Packers vs Eagles, Commanders vs Buccaneers) have all had their final practices and, as such, issued their final injury reports for the Wild Card round. The tables below list the final injury reports for all available games. Use the anchors below to navigate directly to the game you’re most interested in.

Chargers vs Texans Injury Report
Los Angeles Chargers | Injury | Game Status |
---|---|---|
Joshua Palmer (WR) | Foot | Out |
Ja’Sir Taylor (CB) | Ribs | Doubtful |
Denzel Perryman (LB) | Groin | Questionable |
Eli Apple (CB) | Hamstring | Questionable |
JK Dobbins (RB) | Ankle | Questionable |
Quentin Johnston (WR) | Thigh/Illness | Questionable |
Simi Fehoko (WR) | Elbow | Questionable |
Trey Pipkins III (G/T) | Oblique | Questionable |
Houston Texans | Injury | Game Status |
Shaq Mason (G) | Knee | Out |
Denico Autry (DE) | Knee | Questionable |
Jake Hansen (LB) | Ankle | Questionable |
John Metchie III (WR) | Shoulder | Questionable |
Teagan Quitoriano (TE) | Calf | Questionable |
The Chargers vs Texans injury reports are the lengthiest of all the Wild Card games. Both teams are thin at wide receiver. The Chargers are going to be missing Joshua Palmer and could be without Quentin Johnston, as well. The Texans, who already placed Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell on IR earlier in the year, list John Metchie III as questionable with a shoulder injury.

The Chargers also have a pair of cornerbacks in doubt: Eli Apple and Ja’Sir Taylor, while both teams could be missing their starting right guard (Houston’s Shaq Mason and LA’s Trey Pipkins III).

Steelers vs Ravens Injury Report
Pittsburgh Steelers | Injury | Game Status |
---|---|---|
Cole Holcomb (LB) | Knee | Out |
Logan Lee (DT) | Calf | Out |
Roman Wilson (WR) | Hamstring | Out |
Calvin Anderson (OL) | Groin | Questionable |
Mason McCormick (G) | Hand | Questionable |
Baltimore Ravens | Injury | Game Status |
Zay Flowers (WR) | Knee | Out |
Deonte Harty (WR) | Knee | Questionable |
The Ravens have arguably the most-significant injury of Wild Card weekend. Baltimore has listed Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers as out with a knee injury. But that hasn’t given oddsmakers pause when it comes to the Steelers vs Ravens odds, where Baltimore is listed as a 9.5-point home favorite.
The Steelers have six players listed on their final injury report but only one is much of a concern: starting right guard Mason McCormick is listed as questionable with a hand injury. McCormick was a limited participant at practice all week.
Broncos vs Bills Injury Report
Denver Broncos | Injury | Game Status |
---|---|---|
Frank Crum (T) | Illness | Out |
Tyler Badie (RB) | Back | Questionable |
Buffalo Bills | Injury | Game Status |
Brandon Codrington (CB) | Hamstring | Questionable |
The Broncos vs Bills injury reports are the least-populated. Denver lists just two players – reserve tackle Frank Crum, who’s out with an unspecified illness, and seldom-used running back Tyler Badie, who’s questionable with a back injury.
Somehow the Bills are in even better shape heading into their matchup on Sunday, listing only third-string nickelback Brandon Codrington (hamstring) on their final injury report. The Bills are the second-biggest favorite in the NFL odds for Wild Card weekend, laying nine points at home against the Broncos.
Packers vs Eagles Injury Report
Green Bay Packers | Injury | Game Status |
---|---|---|
Christian Watson (WR) | Knee | Out |
Zayne Anderson (S) | Concussion | Out |
Andre Dillard (T) | Concussion | Questionable |
Brenton Cox Jr (DL) | Foot | Questionable |
Evan Williams (S) | Quad | Questionable |
Quay Walker (LB) | Ankle | Questionable |
Tedarrell Slaton | Ankle | Questionable |
Philadelphia Eagles | Injury | Game Status |
Byron Young (DT) | Hamstring | Out |
Trevor Keegan (G) | Illness | Out |
The most lopsided injury reports of Wild Card weekend come from the Packers vs Eagles matchup. Philadelphia lists just two players: defensive tackle Byron Young, who hasn’t played a game all season and remains out with a hamstring injury, and rookie backup guard Trevor Keegan, who’s out with an unspecified illness.
The Packers, on the other hand, will be missing WR Christian Watson (620 yards, two TDs) and backup safety Zayne Anderson (16 tackles, one INT in 16 GPs), while starting linebacker Quay Walker and starting strong safety Evan Williams are questionable.
The injuries on the Green Bay side are part of the reason the Packers vs Eagles spread has moved 1.5 points in Philadelphia’s direction; after opening at Eagles -3.5, the line is now Eagles -5.0 at most books.
Commanders vs Buccaneers Injury Report
Washington Commanders | Injury | Game Status |
---|---|---|
Colson Yankoff (TE) | Hamstring | Out |
Jamison Crowder (WR) | Hamstring | Questionable |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Injury | Game Status |
Antoine Winfield Jr (S) | Knee | Questionable |
Cade Otton (S) | Knee | Questionable |
Jamel Dean (CB) | Knee | Questionable |
Logan Hall (DL) | Groin | Questionable |
Mike Edwards (S) | Quad | Questionable |
The Commanders vs Buccaneers injury reports are also fairly barren. The only two Commanders on the final injury report are first-year tight end Colson Yankoff, who only played special teams in his six games as a rookie, and veteran receiver/kick returner Jamison Crowder, who only appeared in six games this season and was limited to 72 yards on nine catches.
More player are listed on the Tampa Bay side, but all are questionable and seem to be on track to play. Five of the six got in a full practice on Friday. The lone exception was starting defensive end Logan Hall, who was limited.
