Conference championship weekend is here. After 272 regular-season games and 10 postseason games, there are just three games left before we crown a Super Bowl<\/a> champion in two weeks’ time.<\/p>\n

With just four teams remaining in the playoffs and each one win away from a trip to Santa Clara to play for the Lombardi Trophy, it’s of paramount importance to have each and every player available.<\/p>\n

Of course, we already know that won’t be the case for multiple teams. The Denver Broncos<\/a> will be without starting quarterback Bo Nix<\/a> after he suffered an ankle fracture during the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills<\/a>, and the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> will be without running back Zach Charbonnet<\/a> after he tore his ACL during the win over the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the players dealing with injuries this week, see below for the initial practice reports for each team.<\/p>\n

Sunday, 3 p.m. ET on CBS\u00a0(Stream on\u00a0Paramount+<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Patriots<\/a>: New England listed both Harold Landry<\/a> III (knee) and Marte Mapu<\/a> (hip) as not practicing Wednesday. Meanwhile, Carlton Davis<\/a> (concussion protocol), Christian Elliss<\/a> (hip), Thayer Munford<\/a> Jr. (knee), Hunter Henry<\/a> (rest) and Morgan Moses<\/a> (rest) were listed as limited. Joshua Farmer<\/a> (hamstring), TreVeyon Henderson<\/a> (shoulder), Terrell Jennings<\/a> (concussion protocol) and Robert Spillane<\/a> (hand) were listed on the report but practiced in full. New England could have some issues on defense if Landry, Mapu, Davis and Elliss are unable to go Sunday.<\/p>\n

Broncos: Bo Nix (ankle) did not practice for Denver. J.K. Dobbins<\/a> (foot) was limited, as were Troy Franklin<\/a> (hamstring), Pat Bryant<\/a> (concussion protocol) and Alex Forsyth<\/a> (ankle). Frank Crum<\/a> (ankle), Lucas Krull<\/a> (foot), Drew Sanders<\/a> (ankle), JL Skinner<\/a> (quad) and Luke Wattenberg<\/a> (shoulder) were on the report but were full participants. Jarrett Stidham<\/a> will start in Nix’s place<\/a>. The Broncos could be whole in the backfield with Dobbins potentially returning, but their receiver corps could take a hit if Franklin and Bryant can’t get back in the lineup.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jarrett Stidham hopes to join Nick Foles, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, other backup QBs to start in a Super Bowl<\/p>\n

Rams<\/a>: Quentin Lake<\/a> (illness) and Byron Young<\/a> (knee) did not practice. Emmanuel Forbes<\/a> (shoulder) was limited. Josaiah Stewart<\/a> (knee) was listed but practiced in full. The Rams are pretty healthy but could have some defensive issues, particularly in the secondary, if things don’t progress.<\/p>\n

Seahawks: Charles Cross<\/a> (foot), Josh Jones<\/a> (knee\/ankle) and Amari Knight (knee) did not practice for Seattle. Sam Darnold<\/a> (oblique) was limited, as were Bryce Cabeldue<\/a> (knee), Demarcus Lawrence<\/a> (rest), Uchenna Nwosu<\/a> (hamstring), Robbie Ouzts<\/a> (neck), Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a> (rest) and Leonard Williams<\/a> (rest). Elijah Arroyo<\/a> (knee) returned to full participation but was listed on the report, as were George Holani<\/a> (hamstring), Tyrice Knight<\/a> (shoulder) and Chazz Surratt<\/a> (ankle). Seattle could have some offensive line issues if Cross and Jones can’t go. Darnold played through his injury last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Conference championship weekend is here.
