Three players we’ve been keeping a close eye on this week are Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid.
Rodgers sat out last week’s game after suffering a small fracture in his wrist in Week 11. Safe to say, Rodgers was fortunate to avoid a long-term injury.
Kincaid has missed each of the last two games for the Bills due to a hamstring injury that initially had him labeled as week to week.
As for McLaurin, he has been in and out of the lineup all season. After missing time earlier in the campaign due to a quad injury, McLaurin re-aggravated the injury in Week 8 and hasn’t played since.
With Friday upon us, here’s the injury designations each player received for Week 13.
Terry McLaurin injury designation for Week 13
Injury Designation: None
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters on Friday that McLaurin will return to the lineup for the Week 13 contest against the Denver Broncos.
“Dan Quinn confirmed that Terry McLaurin will be active Sunday night,” the Commanders announced.
When it comes to McLaurin’s workload, he said he wasn’t sure but would play as much as the team allows him to.
“I plan to play as much as I can and as much as they’ll allow me to,” McLaurin said on Wednesday. “It’s really encouraging to hear from my teammates and coaches that they don’t feel like I’ve missed a step. I just have a confidence about myself.”
Aaron Rodgers injury designation for Week 13
Injury Designation: None
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Friday that Rodgers is “all systems go” for Week 13 and has no designation, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor said.
Tomlin added that Rodgers was a full participant on Friday.
Dalton Kincaid injury designation for Week 13
Injury Designation: Questionable
Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed that Kincaid would once again be a limited participant in practice on Friday and will officially be questionable for Week 13, which leaves his status up in the air.
“TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has a chance to return. He will be limited at practice again Friday,” On SI’s Alex Brasky relayed.
The good news for Kincaid is that he was able to take part in practice this week, something he wasn’t able to do in the two weeks prior before being ruled out.
