Week four of the 2021 NFL season kicked off Thursday with a victory for the Bengals and continues with 14 more games on Sunday, meaning all 28 teams from those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

Teams playing on Monday night will not release their final injury report until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that household out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Sunday.
