Week 3 of the 2025 NFL<\/a> season is set to kickoff Thursday night, which means it’s time to take a look at what injuries could play a key role across the third week of the new campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> could potentially get quarterback Brock Purdy<\/a> (left shoulder\/toe) back in Week 3 with head coach Kyle Shanahan saying Purdy “has a chance” to play this week<\/a>. With most squads returning to the practice field on Wednesday, it’s a great time to check in on the initial injury reports. Below, we’ll provide the latest from those reports while also getting a last look and a check in on the game statuses for Thursday’s AFC East rivalry clash between the Miami Dolphins<\/a> and the Buffalo Bills<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-12.5) (Thursday)<\/p>\n

The Miami Dolphins will be without the services of tight end Darren Waller for the third game in a row to begin the season. Two key contributors, No. 2 wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) and edge rusher Chop Robinson (knee), are both questionable. It appears as though Waddle’s injury popped in practice this week: he didn’t have an injury status on Monday, but he was limited in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Robinson has been limited in practice all week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Bills will be without two of their best defenders in Week 3: defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) and linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral). Oliver will miss the second week in a row after being injured in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> while Milano suffered his injury in Week 2 against the New York Jets<\/a> at MetLife Stadium. Neither player practiced this week. Starting nickel corner Taron Johnson (quad) has practiced in a limited fashion all week, which is why he is questionable for Week 3. The same goes for linebacker Shaq Thompson (hamstring\/hand) and defensive back Cam Lewis (shoulder).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Great news for the Green Bay Packers: new All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons<\/a> (back) isn’t listed on the team’s injury report for the first time this season. Two starting offensive linemen, guard Aaron Banks<\/a> (groin) and right tackle Zach Tom<\/a> (oblique), returned to practice in a limited fashion after missing “Thursday Night Football” last week against the Washington Commanders<\/a>. Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs<\/a> (ankle) popped up on the injury on Wednesday and practiced as a limited participant, which is something worth monitoring. Quarterback Jordan Love<\/a> (left thumb) continues to practice fully while wearing a splint around his injured left thumb.<\/p>\n

Cleveland Browns starting offensive lineman Joel Bitonio<\/a> (back) was one of two players, along with wide receiver DeAndre Carter<\/a> (concussion) to not practice on Wednesday. Punter Corey Bojorquez<\/a> (right ankle), right tackle Jack Conklin<\/a> (elbow), defensive tackle Maliek Collins<\/a> (vet rest day), safety Grant Delpit<\/a> (back) and defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. (knee) were among the limited practice participants on Wednesday. Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward<\/a> (shoulder\/cramping) practiced fully despite his ailments.<\/p>\n

Only one Cincinnati Bengal didn’t practice on Wednesday: first-round rookie edge rusher Shemar Stewart<\/a> (ankle). Two defensive starters, cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt<\/a> (hamstring) and linebacker Logan Wilson<\/a> (ankle), were the only players limited.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy<\/a> (ankle) didn’t practice on Wednesday after it was announced he’ll be out<\/a>, and that Carson Wentz<\/a> will take his place on the field for the time being. Center Ryan Kelly<\/a> (concussion) and offensive tackle Justin Skule<\/a> (concussion) were the only others to not practice. Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard<\/a> (oblique), offensive lineman Donovan Jackson<\/a> (wrist), tight end Josh Oliver<\/a> (ankle), safety Harrison Smith<\/a> (illness) and edge rusher Andrew Van Ginkel<\/a> (concussion) were among the notable players who practiced in a limited format on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only two Indianapolis Colts didn’t practice on Wednesday, but they’re both offensive starters: wide receiver Josh Downs<\/a> (ankle) and rookie first-round tight end Tyler Warren<\/a> (toe). Two other starters were limited: offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann<\/a> (illness) and edge rusher Laiatu Latu<\/a> (hamstring).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four players didn’t suit up for practice on Wednesday for the Tennessee Titans: right tackle JC Latham<\/a> (hip), wide receiver Bryce Oliver<\/a> (knee), cornerback L’Jarius Sneed<\/a> (back) and guard Kevin Zeitler<\/a> (bicep). Three other players were limited: running back Kalel Mullings<\/a>, defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat<\/a> and safety Kevin Winston Jr<\/a>. (hamstring).<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Raiders had a short injury report on Wednesday with just three players limited after playing on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>: tight end Brock Bowers<\/a> (knee), safety Jeremy Chinn<\/a> (pectoral) and center Jackson Powers-Johnson<\/a> (concussion).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Washington Commanders have a CVS receipt-length injury report following their “Thursday Night Football” loss at the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a> (knee), tight end John Bates<\/a> (groin), wide receiver Noah Brown<\/a> (groin\/knee), tight end Zach Ertz<\/a> (vet rest day), edge rusher Von Miller<\/a> (vet rest day) and left tackle Laremy Tunsil<\/a> (vet rest day) all didn’t practice on Wednesday. Four more players were limited: cornerback Trey Amos<\/a> (shoulder), guard Brandon Coleman<\/a> (shoulder), running back Jeremy McNichols<\/a> (hamstring) and tight end Colson Yankoff<\/a> (hip).\u00a0<\/p>\n
