Note: only starters on IR are listed.Player Name* = Starter.Injury designation definitions:Probable = the league defines a Probable injury designation as a 75% or greater chance of playing. Historically, 95% of players designated probable are active and played on game day. Questionable = the league defines a Questionable injury designation as being ‘uncertain’ of whether the player will play or not. This replaces the former definition of having a 50% chance of playing. Historically, 70-75% of players with a Questionable injury designation were active and played on game day.Doubtful = The league defines a Doubtful injury designation to mean the player is unlikely to participate in the game.

Historically only around 6% of players with a Doubtful designation are active and played on game day.Out = will not play.
