In tandem with Sports Injury Central (SIC), we will be posting the weekly thoughts of Pro Football Doc, Dr. David Chao, on players who are doubtful, questionable, or probable to play. This NFL Week 8 injury report includes Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and Brock Purdy.
Also included is the SIC Player Edge projection, a proprietary ratings metric you can use when thinking about betting player props or filling out your fantasy football lineups.
Brock Purdy – Toe
“Brock Purdy still with the turf toe, is likely out another week, but getting closer to returning.”
Bryce Young – Ankle
“Bryce Young, it’s not a significant high ankle sprain, but a week or two likely out this week with Andy Dalton playing.”
Garrett Wilson – Knee
“Garrett Wilson still out, unlikely to return yet with his knee issue.”
Nico Collins – Concussion
“Nico Collins with a concussion from Monday, which makes it harder to clear by Sunday.”
Terry McLaurin / Deebo Samuel
“Terry McLaurin, this is the week that he’s finally back from his quad proximal hip flexor strain. Deebo Samuel should be a go too, although with the hamstring, albeit mild. Marcus Mariota is making the start instead of Jayden Daniels given the hamstring issue, hopefully back soon within a week or two.”
McLaurin has a -21.1% SIC Player Edge projection which reflects the health of McLaurin, the Commanders Pass Offense and the Chiefs Pass Defense therefore we expect him to go under his projected receiving prop and DFS points.
Samuel has a -19.1% SIC Player Edge projection which reflects the health of Samuel, the Commanders Pass Offense and the Chiefs Pass Defense therefore we expect him to go under his projected receiving prop and DFS points.
