Injury Report Terms and Glossary
- FP = Full participant in practice.
- LP = Limited participant in practice.
- DNP = Did not participate in practice.
- NIR = Not injury related.
- PUP = Physically unable to participate list.
- IR = Injured reserve. Note: only starters on IR are listed.
- Player Name* = Starter.
Injury designation definitions:
Probable = the league defines a Probable injury designation as a 75% or greater chance of playing. Historically, 95% of players designated probable are active and played on game day.
Questionable = the league defines a Questionable injury designation as being ‘uncertain’ of whether the player will
play or not. This replaces the former definition of having a 50% chance of playing. Historically, 70-75% of players with a Questionable injury designation were active and played on game day.
Doubtful = The league defines a Doubtful injury designation to mean the player is unlikely to participate in the game. In practical terms, teams use the designation when a player has less than a 50% chance to suit up, and active game appearances from this designation remain rare. Historically only around 6% of players with a Doubtful designation are active and played on game day.
Out = will not play. Players with this designation are not active on game day and league rules prohibit them from playing.
Notes on Injured Players
For the Lions, Kerby Joseph had his three-week window opened to return from IR this week but will not return this week. Starting slot cornerback Roger McCreary was a late addition to the Lions’ injury report on Friday, when he was limited with a foot injury. He is questionable for Sunday’s game, which means he’s likely to play.
For the Vikings, close to a clean sheet with just a late addition of Jay Ward to the injury report on Friday with knee issue. He was limited on Friday and listed as questionable, but again that means he’s likely to play.
So, looks like full rosters will be available for both teams on Sunday, except for those on IR.
