Injuries continue to hit the NFL hard in 2024, with multiple star fantasy football players missing time early on this season. With four more teams on a bye this week — Kansas City, Minnesota, Miami, and the Los Angeles Rams — player availability is key.
Here's what we know about injured fantasy football players ahead of Week 6.
Fantasy football injury report: Week 6
RB Devin Singletary, New York Giants: Questionable (groin)
The Giants' leading rusher missed Week 5 due to a groin injury and was limited in practice all week.
WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants: Out (concussion)
Nabers missed the Giants' Week 5 win over Seattle as he goes through the concussion protocol. Coach Brian Daboll said Friday that will not be playing against the Bengals on "Sunday Night Football."

Moss left Cincinnati's Week 5 loss to Baltimore with an injury but made his way back to full participation in practice by Friday.
TE Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals: Questionable (hamstring)
Gesicki did not practice Wednesday after notching two catches for 31 yards in Week 5. But he did return on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday.
WR Diontae Johnson, Carolina Panthers: Questionable (ankle)
Johnson was listed on the injury report last week but still played against Chicago. This could be something similar after he practiced in a limited fashion this week.
WR Darnell Mooney, Atlanta Falcons: Questionable (knee)
Mooney was a full-go in practice on Friday, giving confidence he should be on the field in Week 6.
RB Zamir White, Las Vegas Raiders: Questionable (groin)
White missed last week's loss to the Broncos and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was limited in practice Friday and his status remains up in the air with Alexander Mattison set to start in his place if needed.
WR Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders: Questionable (ankle)
Meyers — the Raiders' top wide receiver with Davante Adams out — did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was a limited participant on Friday, giving some hope he'll be good to go for Week 6.
RB Cordarrelle Patterson, Pittsburgh Steelers: Out (ankle)
After playing well against the Colts in Week 4, Patterson missed last week's loss to the Cowboys. He did not practice this week and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says he will not play against the Raiders.

Warren missed the last two games with a knee injury but was practicing fully on Friday. He is still listed as questionable.
RB Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers: Questionable (ankle)
The Chargers' second-string running back is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered against the Chiefs in Week 4. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday and his status is still up in the air.
RB Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts: Out (ankle)
Taylor missed last week's game against the Jaguars and did not practice Wednesday through Friday. He said this latest ankle sprain isn't as bad as the one he had in 2022, giving some hope he can be back in Week 6 but has been ruled out.
QB Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts: Questionable (oblique)
Richardson was out of the lineup for the Colts' Week 5 game with an oblique injury. He practiced in a limited fashion Friday and said he feels much better than last week.

Pittman did not practice Wednesday due to a back injury. He's been dealing with that issue for most of the season so far and will miss multiple weeks of action.
WR Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts: Questionable (toe)
Downs had a season-high in targets in Week 5 but did not practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a toe injury suffered during the loss to the Jaguars. He was a full-go on Friday but is still listed as questionable.

Smith has been removed from the injury report and will be active for the first time since Week 3 Sunday against Cleveland.
WR A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: Healthy (hamstring)
Brown was a full participant in practice this week and will be back in the lineup against the Browns.
RB Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns: Out (knee)
Chubb is back in practice this week as he works his way back from a knee injury he suffered last season. He was limited but participated in all practices once again this week but will not play on Sunday.
WR Rashid Shaheed, New Orleans Saints: Questionable (hip)
The Saints' leading receiver in yards and touchdowns did not practice Wednesday but returned in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday.
RB Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints: Questionable (hip/hand)

RB Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots: Out (foot)
Stevenson was benched to start Week 5 against the Dolphins but still managed 12 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown. He has been ruled out for Week 6 after suffering what the team has called a minor foot injury.
RB Joe Mixon, Houston Texans: Questionable (ankle)
Mixon's been out since Week 2 with a right ankle injury but still leads the team in rushing yards. He practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday and looks more likely to play than any of the last three weeks.
