Several NFL offenses will enter Sunday with key absences, while quarterback Jaxson Dart is set for knee surgery and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.
Sunday injury report
- Jaylen Wright, RB: Listed as doubtful for the game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a stinger and foot injury.
- Chris Bell, WR: Expected to be available against Kansas City despite a knee issue.
- Caleb Douglas, WR: Ruled out for Sunday’s Chiefs matchup with an ankle injury.

- Jayden Daniels, QB: Considered week to week with an elbow injury and will not be placed on injured reserve.
- Chigoziem Okonkwo, TE: Unlikely to play against the Seattle Seahawks because of a hamstring injury.

- Frankie Luvu, LB: Unlikely to be available against the Seahawks due to a groin injury.
Week ahead
Kansas City will face a club expected to be without Douglas and likely missing Wright, though Bell is projected to play. Detroit will meet an opponent that has already ruled out Taylor, Mauigoa and Fitzpatrick, with Nwangwu carrying a doubtful designation.
Seattle’s opponent is preparing for the possibility of playing without Okonkwo, Cosmi and Luvu. Daniels’ week-to-week status also leaves an important quarterback situation to monitor beyond Sunday.
