NFL injury tracker Week 8: Brock Purdy, Jimmy Garoppolo cleared to start; Kyler Murray closer to return; Daniel Jones, Deebo Samuel out
Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season kicked off with the Buffalo Bills topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 on "Thursday Night Football." The Bills were without tight end Dawson Knox, who was placed on injured reserve following wrist surgery. His replacement, rookie Dalton Kincaid, filled in nicely with five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.
In other Week 8 injury news, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has cleared concussion protocol and is set to start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the team announced Saturday.
Also set to start is Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on Monday night against the Detroit Lions. The 31-year-old has been out since Week 6 due to his back. He sustained the injury in a win over the New England Patriots and reportedly left the stadium in an ambulance. Now, he is "good to go," head coach Josh McDaniels told reporters on Saturday.

Browns
P.J Walker will get the start again for the Cleveland Browns' game against the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to deal with a shoulder injury.
"I just feel like with what happened in the game, landing on his shoulder, there's residual swelling that's affecting his throwing," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "I think it's the best thing for him to rest this week and focus on his rehab."
