Injuries continue to plague the NFL as teams gear up for Week 8 action. With several star players dealing with health issues, it's crucial for teams to navigate through these challenges to stay competitive. Let's take a closer look at the injury situation around the league.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing potential setbacks ahead of their Thursday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Wide receiver Chris Godwin is listed as questionable due to a neck injury. However, there is some positive news as Godwin was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, indicating a possibility of him taking the field. On the other hand, Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers' defensive tackle, is also listed as questionable. Mayfield has described his knee issue as manageable with pain tolerance. Despite being limited on Tuesday, he participated fully in Wednesday's practice, which provides hope for his availability in the game.

In terms of the Buffalo Bills, they have a few players on the injury report as well. Tight end Dawson Knox and linebacker Baylon Spector will both be out indefinitely. Knox is set to undergo wrist surgery, while Spector is nursing a hamstring injury. Additionally, tight end Quintin Morris is also ruled out with an ankle problem. The Bills' defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who is dealing with a toe injury, is listed as questionable for the upcoming game.

Other teams in the league are also grappling with injuries as they prepare for Sunday's games. The New England Patriots saw defensive end Keion White sit out practice on Wednesday due to a concussion. They also had several players limited in practice, including offensive tackle Calvin Anderson (illness), defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee), offensive tackle Trent Brown (ankle/knee), defensive tackle Davon Godchaux (ankle), tight end Hunter Henry (ankle), wide receiver Ty Montgomery (knee), offensive guard Cole Strange (knee), linebacker Josh Uche (ankle/toe), cornerback Shaun Wade (shoulder), and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. (shoulder).

As football fans eagerly await the games in Week 8, the injury report serves as a reminder of the physical toll and challenges faced by players and teams throughout the season. It remains to be seen how these injuries will impact the performances of these teams and players, but one thing is for certain - the resilience and adaptability of both starters and backups will be crucial in overcoming these obstacles.
