Several NFL teams are facing uncertainty due to player injuries as they prepare for upcoming games. In the Houston camp, running back Joe Mixon's absence from practice all week indicates that Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale are likely to handle the carries for the team. Similarly, the Minnesota Vikings will be missing linebacker Addison, but they can count on wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who participated fully in Friday's practice after dealing with a quad injury. With Jalen Nailor stepping up to fill the gap left by Addison, the Vikings are adjusting their strategy to ensure a strong performance.

Over in Philadelphia, the Eagles are grappling with the absence of wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. This setback puts the spotlight on other players like Britain Covey to step up and support DeVonta Smith on the field. Despite the challenges, the Eagles are looking to key players such as Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert to make significant contributions to the team's offensive game plan as they face upcoming opponents.

Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints are navigating a series of injuries within their lineup as they aim to secure a 3-0 record. Defensive tackle Khalen Saunders will be out with a calf injury, while linebacker D'Marco Jackson, tight end Taysom Hill, tackle Landon Young, and safety Will Harris are all listed as questionable due to various ailments. Wide receiver A.T. Perry, although dealing with an illness, managed to participate fully in Friday's practice, showing determination to contribute to the team. With several key players facing uncertainties, the Saints are working diligently to address these challenges and maintain their winning momentum in the upcoming games.
