Every Sunday morning, the NFL’s national reporters unload injury news and other tidbits to inform our gambling decisions. Here are some of the top news items and what they mean.

PLAYERS RULED OUT

Players out Sunday include Todd Gurley, Cam Newton, A.J. Green, C.J. Mosley, Chris Jones, Drew Brees, DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles, Ronald Darby, Vernon Davis, Jordan Reed, Mike McGlinchey, Joe Staley, Kyle Juszczyk, Aqib Talib, Clay Matthews, Mason Rudolph, James Washington.

These players were all ruled out ahead of time or listed as doubtful for most of the week. Adam Schefter pretty much makes it official.

ALVIN KAMARA (NO) SHOULD BE FINE

#Saints RB Alvin Kamara tweaked his ankle this week and missed the last day of practice, but he is expected to play today barring a setback, sources say. He participated in the walk-through on Saturday and that was another sign he should be on the field today.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 13, 2019

It’s never good when a player misses the Friday practice, as Kamara did this week. The good news is the missed practice was likely only precautionary.

CBS DENZEL WARD (CLE) AND GREEDY WILLIAMS (CLE) EXPECTED TO SIT

I’m told Browns CB Denzel Ward (hamstring) & CB Greedy Williams (hamstring) listed as questionable, are both expected out vs the #Seahawks, barring an unexpected change, per source.

The Seahawks have their own injury issues on the offensive line, but this news ought to make Russell Wilson smile. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf should have an easier time going against backups.

CHRISTIAN KIRK (ARI) WON’T PLAY

Cardinals’ WR Christian Kirk, listed as questionable for Sunday against the Falcons due to an ankle injury, is not expected to play, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

Kirk had previously been reported as a game-time decision. Now it looks like he won’t make an effort to suit up.

DAVID JOHNSON (ARI) EXPECTED TO PLAY

Cardinals’ RB David Johnson, listed as questionable for Sunday against the Falcons due to a back injury, is expected to play, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

Johnson finally got some practice time in on Friday. Kliff Kingsbury called him a game-time decision, though Schefter appears to have put an end to the suspense.

SAMMY WATKINS (KC) WON’T RETURN

Chiefs’ WR Sammy Watkins, listed as doubtful for Sunday against the Texans due to a hamstring injury, will not play, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

Watkins was doubtful, so this is no surprise.

HUNTER HENRY (LAC) SET TO RETURN

Chargers’ TE Hunter Henry, listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Steelers due to a knee injury, is expected to play, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

Henry suffered a tibial plateau fracture in Week 1 and was expected to miss 4-6 weeks. After practicing fully at the end of the week, Henry’s return is not a major surprise.

GEORGE KITTLE (SF) LIKELY TO PLAY, POSSIBLY WON’T FINISH

49ers’ TE George Kittle, a late add to the injury report with a groin injury that left him questionable for Sunday, is expected to play against the Rams, per source. But there is some concern about whether he will be able to finish the game.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

Kittle was added to the injury report on Friday with a groin or hamstring injury, depending on who you believe. Kyle Shanahan said he expected Kittle to play, which Schefter confirms. However, since the injury was so late in the week, Kittle has not had much time to recover. An early exit is in the cards.

MARQUISE BROWN (BAL) LIKELY OUT

#Ravens WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown (ankle) did not practice this week and is not expected to play today against the #Bengals, source said. He has been one of the team’s top offensive weapons and the team hoped he would be a game-time call.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 13, 2019

Brown had a slim chance to play despite not practicing, but Ian Rapoport says the dream is dead.

TYREEK HILL (KC) CLEARED TO RETURN

#Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill was cleared from his sternoclavicular joint injury late this week, sources say, and he is trending towards playing today. He’ll workout pregame, though, because he dealt with soreness this week and no one wants to rush him back after missing a month.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 13, 2019

That said, he’s no sure thing to play. Schefter’s tweet regarding Hill had a much different tone. Schefter also notes that the Chiefs have a Thursday game coming up, so it may be wise to sit Hill for one more game.

RT LA’EL COLLINS (DAL) LIKELY IN, LT TYRON SMITH (DAL) LIKELY OUT

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill, listed as questionable for Sunday against Texans due to a shoulder injury, will test it pregame to see how he feels before making final decision, per source. Hill is said to have a “serious chance” to play, but Chiefs not certain, and have a game Thurs, too
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 13, 2019

The Jets are a bottom-10 defense in terms of points allowed per game, so maybe the Cowboys can sneak by with just one of their starting tackles.

KENNY STILLS (HOU) PUSHING TO PLAY

#Texans WR Kenny Stills (hamstring) is pushing to play today after missing last week, and if he does, it’ll be at less than 100%. The belief, though, is that he’s a week away.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 13, 2019

Stills is having a good season, though it’s hard to argue with the success Houston had without him in Week 5. Rapoport thinks it will be another week, which may be best for both Houston and Stills long-term.
