NFL injury tracker Week 4: George Kittle ready to return, A.J. Brown and Justin Herbert questionable, DeVonta Smith out – MASHAHER

Week 4 kicked off Thursday night with the Dallas Cowboys continuing their dominance over the New York Giants with a 20-15 win.

Giants rookie receiver Malik Nabers suffered a concussion during the game After a catch attempt on fourth down late in the game, Nabers stayed down on the sideline for a while as athletic trainers tended to him. Shortly afterward, he was back to the locker room too.

Nabers posted on Instagram early Friday morning with a picture of himself and the caption, “All good. Thanks for the prayers.”

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Nabers has entered concussion protocol.

In other injury news from Thursday night, Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons was helped off the field late in the fourth quarter. He went to the medical tent, then came out with his left shoe and sock off, got onto a cart and was taken to the locker room.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Parsons has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and could be out through Dallas’ Week 7 bye.

Same goes for defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence, who suffered a foot injury. According to Tom Pelissero, he is expected to miss “multiple” weeks.

Kittle ‘feeling fantastic’ about Week 4 return

The San Francisco 49ers had a positive sign on Thursday. George Kittle, Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams all took part in practice. For Kittle, it was the second straight day he was on the field after missing their Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

As of Friday, Kittle appears ready to return against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

“I’m very excited to play football,” Kittle said. “I think there have been some circumstances that have happened this year, so we’re just trying to cover our bases and be as honest as possible. But no, I am feeling fantastic.”

Another possible return for the 49ers this week is Samuel, who missed last week due to a calf injury. General manager John Lynch said Friday’s practice will give them a better idea if he’ll be able to suit up on Sunday.

“The best athletes seem to heal at a little better rate,” Lynch said. “The reason he’s on the field is because he hit all the markers.”

Lions to be without Ragnow

The Detroit Lions get an extra day to heal up as they play Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. But despite more rest, they will be without Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, who suffered a partially torn pectoral muscle in Week 3.

There was a chance Ragnow would be available to play against the Seahawks, but head coach Dan Campbell said they did not want to risk any further damage.

“We’re not going to mess with that,” Campbell said. “Look, Frank’s tough. He’s as tough as nails. If anybody can play through it, it’s him. I think we’ve got to be smart. It’s early in the year. We’ve got a lot of football left.”

Packers’ Love questionable for Sunday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love remains limited in practice, but he continues to take daily reps in hopes of returning soon.

How soon? Love said he was “close” to playing Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. His pregame workout went fine, but while he did not play, the team is encouraged by his progress and he will try again on Sunday ahead of their matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday that Love is being listed as questionable.

Eagles may be without Brown, Smith ruled out

The Philadelphia Eagles could be without their top two wideouts on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. DeVonta Smith has been ruled out and A.J. Brown is being listed as questionable.

A hamstring injury has kept Brown out the last two weeks and Smith suffered a concussion during their Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Justin Herbert still questionable

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert was active ahead of Week 3 despite a high ankle sprain, but left the loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers early, and was seen after the game wearing a walking boot. Herbert has been limited in practice throughout this week.
