NFL Week 5 injury report: Giants Malik Nabers (concussion) doesn’t practice; Cowboys lose another starter

Welcome to NFL Week 5 as injuries are starting to pile for several teams across the league. Specifically, the Dallas Cowboys will be without several key players for their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that has had its share of injuries this season on the offensive line. 

Those are just two teams, though, that are currently having their depth tested as we move into the second quarter of the regular season. As you can see below, every team is dealing with something as far as injuries are concerned. Let’s take a look at each Week 5 matchup and the notable injuries associated with each game.

Three players, including running backs Nick Chubb and Nyheim Hines, have been designated to return to practice. These players now have a 21-day practice window where they will be either added to the 53-man roster or will be placed on season-ending injured reserve. By all accounts, Chubb is expected to be activated within that window, but later rather than sooner.

Texans wideout Tank Dell (chest) returned to practice on Wednesday after the injury kept him out of last Sunday’s win over the Jaguars. Running back Joe Mixon (ankle) has made progress but was again held out of practice on Wednesday. Mixon has not played since sustaining the injury in Week 2.

Arizona received a big boost with the news that tight end Trey McBride was practicing on Wednesday. McBride did not play in Arizona’s Week 4 loss to the Commanders. He caught 14 passes for 122 yards in the Cardinals’ first three games.

Giants rookie wideout Malik Nabers did not practice on Wednesday as he is in the concussion protocol. Nabers sustained the injury during last week’s 20-15 loss to the Cowboys. His teammate, fellow wideout Darius Slayton, said that Nabers is “in good spirits” as he deals with his first significant injury in the NFL. 

Cowboys at Steelers (Sunday night) 

Already without DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons, the Cowboys will now also be without Brandin Cooks for Sunday’s game after he suffered an infection in his knee. Cook’s absence may lead to more targets for KaVontae Turpin, who caught a touchdown in Dallas’ Week 3 loss to the Ravens.
