Fantasy football injury report: Latest Week 8 updates on Lamar Jackson, Zach Charbonnet

Week 8 of fantasy football sees several prominent players dealing with injuries or returning from major issues, impacting managers' decisions. Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens' quarterback, appeared to be in line for a return after limited practices, but his chances have improved following consecutive losses. Quarterback Breece Hall of the New York Jets has missed the last four games due to a quadriceps injury, with backup Braelon Allen bearing the brunt of the workload.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet, who returned to practice after ACL surgery, should make his 2026 debut in Week 8 but faces a Monday night game against the Bears, requiring a backup plan. Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley returned to practice after a hamstring injury but exited the game due to back pain, potentially playing against the Washington Commanders.

Aaron Jones Jr. of the Minnesota Vikings is day-to-day with a knee injury, while his absence due to Jordan Mason's return increases uncertainty. Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to practice but faces competition from Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier. Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey aims to clear the concussion protocol, having only played eight snaps in the previous week after a week-long absence for a foot injury.

Philadelphia Eagles' Rashee Rice, sidelined with a hamstring injury since Week 4, remains cautiously optimistic about his availability for the Sunday matchup in Denver. Tight ends Travis Kelce and Noah Gray led the Kansas City Chiefs with 44 receiving yards on Sunday night, with Cyrus Allen as the leading wideout with one catch for 18 yards.
