Three NFC divisional rivalry games filled the NFL’s Thanksgiving menu, and fortunately there were no major injuries to report.
The Green Bay Packers upset the Detroit Lions, whose Thanksgiving Day losing streak stretched to seven games. Later, the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers posted dominant performances — Dallas routing the visiting Washington Commanders, and San Francisco going on the road and manhandling the Seattle Seahawks.
Much of the injury news for Sunday’s games surrounds pass-catchers and the players who cover them. The Cleveland Browns will be without Denzel Ward, who has been one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks this season, due to a shoulder problem. The Cincinnati Bengals will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins for a third consecutive game because of a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, the news was all good for the Los Angeles Rams. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp says he’ll play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, and they’re also expected to get back running back Kyren Williams, who has been on injured reserve since the Rams’ first game against the Cardinals in Week 6.
