NFL Injury Report Week 8: Team-by-Team Updates, Inactive List and More

The 2014 NFL regular season continues to roll on, and with Week 8 comes an injury report full of elite players and game-changers. Football fans and fantasy owners will be watching the inactive lists to see whether their favorite athletes are playing this week.

With top stars like Calvin Johnson, Jimmy Graham, A.J. Green and more dealing with injuries, the focus on their status for pivotal Week 8 matchups will have fans checking the injury reports before the action kicks off.

Here is the latest news, status updates and team-by-team inactives for Week 8.

Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit Lions

Status: Inactive

Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson will miss Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons in London while recovering from an ankle injury, according to the team's official inactive list. With a bye in Week 9, the team is playing it safe with Megatron. He should be back in Week 10 with a vengeance.

Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints

Status: Probable

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham managed to play through a shoulder injury last week, but he was limited to just 30 plays all day and did not catch any passes. Graham was only targeted one time.

Fantasy owners should be very concerned about the production. If New Orleans is just marching Graham out to the field to be a decoy while he recovers from his shoulder injury, he is not worth starting in any fantasy format. Depending on how much Graham practices during the week, owners should be looking for a backup plan.

A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

Status: Inactive

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has been dealing with a toe injury for several weeks, and according to the team's official inactive list, he will not play in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jadeveon Clowney, OLB, Houston Texans

Status: Active

Houston Texans' No. 1 overall draft pick and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney injured his knee in the first week against Washington, but the franchise is hoping to have him back for the Week 8 matchup against Tennessee. Clowney is not on the team's inactive list and will play Sunday.

Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts

Status: Inactive

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne is still dealing with an elbow injury, and according to the team's official inactive list, he will not play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
