  • Find out how the NFL's injury policy promotes fairness and transparency and impacts games, fantasy football, and sports betting.

The NFL has established a comprehensive injury policy to ensure transparency and fairness in reporting player injuries. This policy mandates that teams must submit an injury report by 4 p.m. ET each Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday during the regular season, detailing the participation status of players in practice and their game-day availability. The guidelines categorize player status as "out," "doubtful," "questionable," or "probable" based on their likelihood to play. Additionally, teams are required to report any significant changes in a player's condition or if a previously unlisted player becomes questionable or out. This policy aims to prevent insider trading and maintain the integrity of the game by ensuring all teams and fans have access to the same information regarding player health. Violations of these reporting rules can lead to fines, with the NFL taking strict measures to enforce compliance.
