NFL Week 10 Injury Report: Chiefs' Kenneth Walker III Dealing With New Groin Injury, Patriots' A.J. Brown Questionable

The second half of the 2026 NFL season is here, and the injury reports are getting longer. Week 10 brings an international showdown in Munich between the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions, plus a Sunday Night Football clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals with first place in the AFC North on the line. But several contenders head into the weekend with major names in doubt.

The biggest new concern belongs to the Kansas City Chiefs. Running back Kenneth Walker III, whose 872 rushing yards rank second in the NFL this season, appeared on the injury report Friday after tweaking his groin, which kept him out of the week's final practice. "We're feeling it out just to see. We're not going to put him at risk," coach Andy Reid said, via ESPN. "If he can go, he'll go. If he can't, he can't." Walker is questionable for the game against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Chiefs also ruled out linemen Jaylon Moore (ankle), Peter Woods (neck) and Omarr Norman-Lott (knee). Atlanta ruled out receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring) and listed linebacker Divine Deablo (forearm) as doubtful.

In Dallas, Cowboys cornerback Joey Porter Jr. dismissed talk that the ankle injury that kept him out in Week 9 at Indianapolis is tied to his lack of a new contract in the final year of his rookie deal. Porter, who called his entire foot, heel and ankle "jacked up," sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday, was limited Friday and is questionable against the San Francisco 49ers. "I don't even know where that narrative comes from," he said Thursday. "My goal is to win games and play football. If there's any chance I can get on the field, I'm going to get on the field and do what I do best."

For the Munich game, the Patriots ruled out center Ben Brown (knee), cornerback Carlton Davis III (knee) and running back TreVeyon Henderson (illness). Wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) is questionable after being limited in practice all week, while safety Kevin Byard (chest) is trending the right way after fully practicing Friday. Detroit ruled out All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph (knee), who practiced early in the week but sat out Friday, along with center Cade Mays (ankle) and cornerback D.J. Reed (hip). Star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) is questionable.

The Houston Texans ruled out five players for their trip to Cleveland: linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (groin/personal reason), receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring), defensive end Danielle Hunter (hamstring), tight end Brevin Jordan (finger/foot) and lineman Keylan Rutledge (neck/shoulder). Running back David Montgomery (groin) is questionable but practiced fully Friday. The Browns ruled out safety Ronnie Hickman Jr. (concussion) and fullback Michael Burton (calf), with receiver Denzel Boston (toe) questionable.

The Minnesota Vikings will be without linebacker Blake Cashman (concussion), tight end T.J. Hockenson (wrist/chest), receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) and quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) against the Green Bay Packers. Receiver Jordan Addison (thumb) and safety Josh Metellus (shoulder) are questionable after appearing on the report Friday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars ruled out safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Jordan Davis for rest after acquiring both in trades Monday, sparing them from having to play 18 regular-season games. The Tennessee Titans ruled out six players, including linebacker Cody Barton (concussion) and guard Peter Skoronski (hamstring), though running back Tyjae Spears (knee) is questionable after fully practicing Friday.

Elsewhere, the Miami Dolphins ruled out center Aaron Brewer (concussion), and the Indianapolis Colts sidelined six players. The Buffalo Bills listed tackle Spencer Brown (ankle) as doubtful but ruled no one out, while the New York Jets ruled out only linebacker Trevin Wallace (groin); receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) practiced fully Friday. The Seattle Seahawks will be without quarterback Sam Darnold (ribs, quadriceps) and three teammates against the Las Vegas Raiders.
