What happened: Quarterback Jaxson Dart will miss the remainder of the season due to a severe knee injury. Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers missed Wednesday's practice following his absence against the New Orleans Saints. New England Patriots receiver Demario Douglas also remains in danger of missing time with an ankle injury.

Why it matters: Dart's absence forces a permanent change at quarterback for the remainder of the year. In Baltimore, Flowers' potential unavailability leaves Rashod Bateman as the primary receiving target against the Dallas Cowboys. These roster limitations require significant adjustments to offensive game plans across the league.

What to watch: Franchises will finalize their official injury designations following Friday practice sessions. Practice participation over the next two days will determine the ultimate availability for Flowers and Douglas.
