Week 16 of the 2020 NFL season kicked off on Friday with the Saints hosting the Vikings for a Christmas matinee and it continues with three games on Saturday and 11 more games on Sunday. The teams playing in those games have released their final injury reports.

The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their final injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Saturday and Sunday’s games.

Buccaneers at Lions (Saturday 1:00 p.m. ET)

The Buccaneers only have one player with an injury designation. CB Carlton Davis (groin) is considered doubtful to play.
