The first quarter of the NFL season is coming into a close, and all the injuries are piling up around the league. The Detroit Lions won’t have edge rusher Marcus Davenport and linebacker Derrick Barnes for a significant time, while the Philadelphia Eagles may be out both starting wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith this week.
The Cleveland Browns will have to see how defensive end Myles Garrett progresses throughout the week, as he’s battling multiple injuries (Achilles, foot, and thigh). The Dolphins will also have to see how quarterback Skylar Thompson (ribs) fares before they make a decision on whether to start their third quarterback in four games.
As always, we’ll have the Wednesday injury report for all the games being played in Week 4. We’ll highlight the key injuries for each team as the list continues to grow with each passing week.

Cowboys (-5.5) at Giants (Thursday night)
On a short week, the Giants will be down Phillips, their starting nickel cornerback. Isaiah Simmons is expected to fill in that role with Jackson also out. The Giants will be thin at cornerback this week, but still have Cordale Flott, Deonte Banks, and Nick McCloud. Slayton has been limited in practice all week, so there could be an opportunity for Jalin Hyatt.
With Carson doubtful, the Cowboys will look to Andrew Booth Jr. or C.J. Goodwin to fill that role. Neither Carson nor Bell participated in Wednesday’s final practice.
