New York (AP) — NEW YORK (AP) — The National Football League Inactive Report has been released, and the list of players who will be missing from action this week is not for the faint of heart. As the NFL enters another week of highly anticipated matchups, some of the biggest stars in the league will be forced to watch from the sidelines.
From injuries sustained in previous games to illness and personal reasons, the reasons for the inactive players are as varied as the teams they play for. In a season that has seen its fair share of surprises, this week's inactive report is sure to throw a wrench into the plans of several teams.
One of the biggest names on the list is that of running back Ezekiel Elliott, who will miss this week's game due to a knee injury sustained in last week's matchup against the Washington Redskins. Elliott, who has been one of the top performers for the Dallas Cowboys this season, will be sorely missed as his team takes on the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial divisional matchup.
Another notable absence will be that of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who will miss this week's game due to a hamstring injury. Beckham, who has been one of the top receivers for the Cleveland Browns this season, will be a big loss for a team that is still fighting for a playoff spot.
In addition to these two high-profile players, several other key contributors will also be missing from action this week. Defensive back Patrick Peterson, a key member of the Arizona Cardinals' secondary, will miss this week's game due to a calf injury. Meanwhile, tight end George Kittle, a top target for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, will miss this week's game due to a knee injury.
These absences are sure to have a significant impact on the outcome of this week's games, and teams will be forced to rely on their depth to overcome the loss of these key players. As the NFL continues to navigate the ups and downs of another unpredictable season, one thing is for sure – this week's inactive report will be just one of many twists and turns that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
