The Lamar Jackson injury has garnered understandable headlines in Baltimore this week, but the team might be in even more trouble on defense. The Ravens have ruled LB Roquan Smith, CB Marlon Humphrey, and CB Chidobe Awuzie out for the game. They're already missing DL Nnamdi Madubuike (IR for a neck injury). And some other key defenders look for-real questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Titans LBs Kenneth Murray Jr. and Jerome Baker are both inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. That leaves the team with James Williams and Otis Reese as the expected top two at the position. Williams has yet to play a defensive snap in the pros, and Reese has played just 98 total across two seasons. I won't be projecting either for Week 14 use, because I have no idea what we can expect from them in terms of playing time or production. Rookie Cedric Gray and 29-year-old journeyman Luke Gifford could also factor in. Tennessee will also go without slot CB Roger McCreary but gets CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR.

The Titans are likely to be without DT Jeffery Simmons on Monday night against the Dolphins. He's doubtful with an elbow injury. They also might miss CB L'Jarius Sneed and/or S Amani Hooker. Sneed is questionable with a hamstring issue. He had been listed for just a rest day earlier in the week but turned up limited Saturday. Hooker is questionable because of a gash on his right cheek that required eight stitches. The team also placed CB Chidobe Awuzie on IR Saturday with a groin injury. Tennessee's D remains in play for fantasy use because of the QB trouble in Miami. But the injuries add downside risk.

Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) is inactive for today's game against the Cardinals. CB Cam Taylor-Britt (concussion) and Edge Trey Hendrickson (back) are active, after entering the day questionable.

Bengals Edge Trey Hendrickson (back), CB Cam Taylor-Britt (concussion), and CB Chidobe Awuzie (back) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Hendrickson popped up late on the injury report after missing Friday's practice. Awuzie's injury also popped up during the practice week, limiting his Thursday participation and then holding him out Friday. Taylor-Britt looks most likely to play. He finished the week with a full Friday practice.

Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie tore his right ACL in Monday night's loss to the Browns and will miss the rest of the season. The defense might get CB Eli Apple back this week. He missed the Cleveland game with a hamstring injury that knocked him out early the week before. Apple put in a limited practice Wednesday.

The Bengals have added CB Chidobe Awuzie to the COVID list, meaning he'll likely miss Sunday's game in Denver.

Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie (foot) is active for today's game against the 49ers.

Cowboys DE Demarcus Lawrence (shoulder) and CB Chidobe Awuzie (ankle) are active for today's game against the Jaguars. They're OK to use as planned in IDP lineups.
