The NFL injury report heading into Week 15 has updates for Greg Olsen, Jonathan Stewart, Lamar Miller, Alshon Jeffery, Tyler Eifert, Jarvis Landry, Ted Ginn, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, Danny Amendola and Eric Decker. Stewart is going to be out for the Panthers this week, while TJ Yeldon could miss the game for the Jaguars.

The Panthers are undefeated at 13-0 heading into Week 15 against the Giants and they could be without a couple of their best players. The team may have Greg Olsen ready to start after a knee injury, but Jonathan Stewart will be out on Sunday. Jarvis Landry and Lamar Miller are both banged up for the Dolphins heading into the weekend, but it's likely the two will play on Sunday.

Tyler Eifert is coming into the weekend dealing with a concussion for the Bengals and he likely will be out, leaving Tyler Kroft to start. The team already will be without Andy Dalton on Sunday with a finger injury, leaving AJ McCarron to start at QB. Alshon Jeffery is dealing with a calf issue, but he is expected to play on Sunday for the Bears, while Larry Fitzgerald is dealing with an ankle injury. The Jets have Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker dealing with minor injuries, but those are not expected to keep the players out against the Cowboys this weekend.

The Panthers have Stewart out, but Greg Olsen was able to practice this week and that should put him in line to play against the Giants. Olsen suffered a knee injury while trying to make a touchdown catch last week and while the injury looked like a serious one, Olsen was able to get off the field on his own. Olsen practiced on Thursday and Friday and should be ready to go on Sunday as the Panthers try and stay undefeated.

Lamar Miller was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday for the Dolphins, but according to Adam Beasley, the injury is not serious. Miller is expected to play on Sunday and the team likely is being cautious with the running back heading into the weekend. Landry was limited in practice on Wednesday and was out on Thursday, but he also is expected to play for Miami this weekend after putting up a solid game against the Giants with 11 catches for 99 yards on 18 targets.

Eifert was not in practice on Wednesday or Thursday and that makes it very unlikely that he will play for the Bengals this weekend. Larry Fitzgerald was limited in practice with an ankle injury, but the team is simply being cautious with the veteran wideout. Fitzgerald is having a resurgent season and will be in line to play against the Eagles Sunday night.

Jeffery has been battling injuries this season and he was limited in practice on Wednesday and sat out Thursday for the Bears. Jeffery is dealing with a calf issue and an illness and there is a good chance he will play on Sunday. Danny Amendola was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday for the Patriots and he is not in danger of missing out this week. Julian Edelman started practicing, but he likely will not play in Week 15.
