Linebacker Malik Harrison is the the only player on the active roster carrying an injury designation due to his groin injury as he has been listed questionable for today’s clash.

Ten other players were listed on the weekly report including running back J.J. McCarthy (hip), wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee), offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (groin), and linebacker Abdul Carter (knee/back) but all practiced in full on Wednesday and have been cleared to play without any designation.

Alongside them, wide receivers Charlie Jones (thumb) and Darnell Mooney (chest), tight end Theo Johnson (neck), offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor (calf), and cornerback Colton Hood (finger) are also completely cleared for today’s clash against the Washington Commanders.

How did Cam Skattebo injure himself in Week 7?For the unversed, the star running back suffered the injury during the Week 7 win against the Houston Texans when he pulled his hamstring while sprinting on a 42-yard run in overtime.

He felt a sharp pull in his leg mid sprint and slid down on his own so he would not get tackled and make it worse. He ended up leaving the game right away and backup Devin Singletary scored the winning touchdown .

It seems Cam Skattebo has recovered well from the injury unlike last season when his fibula fracture ended the season early for him.

In a scene that shocked fans, he was carted off the field and underwent emergency surgery to repair the joint using five screws, two pins, and a surgical tightrope.

A few months ago, in an interview with New York Post, Cam Skattebo opened up about his injuries as he said, "When I first got hurt, like I'm asking the doctors, like, they're going to have to cut my foot off…As soon as the doctor touched my foot, I felt pain. He snapped (my ankle) back into place, and it was like, 'A sigh of relief.' Once I got in the X-Ray room, they cut my shoe off, they cut my sock off, I was a half-second from passing out because I had dislocated it so far that the skin ripped."

Fortunately, things worked out well for him as he has bounced back in this season.
