Here's everything you need to know injury-wise for Week 16. As teams gear up for crucial matchups, the status of star players remains a focal point. Patrick Mahomes has been cleared to start against the Texans, a much-anticipated return that could significantly impact the game. His leadership and playmaking ability are essential for the Chiefs as they aim for playoff positioning.
In Seattle, quarterback Geno Smith is expected to take the field, despite recent injury concerns. His performance will be critical as the Seahawks look to secure their playoff hopes. Smith's ability to connect with his receivers and manage the game will be under scrutiny.
On a less favorable note, defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been placed back on the Non-Football Injury list, raising questions about his availability moving forward. His absence could be felt deeply in the Patriots' defense, which has been relying on his presence to bolster their front line. As the week progresses, teams will continue to monitor player health closely.
