The injury report is one of the most critical and often overlooked factors when betting on the Super Bowl.
Many casual fans aren’t digging into the daily NFL practice reports to see which players are participating and whether they are fully taking part in the team’s preparations for Super Bowl Sunday.
Read on to see the latest Super Bowl 59 injury report, and how it could influence your wagers on the Chiefs and Eagles in New Orleans.
Super Bowl Injury Report
Practice reports, official injury designations, and Super Bowl odds mentioned below are current as of Friday, Feb. 7.
Chiefs Super Bowl Injury Report
The Chiefs have just four players on their Super Bowl injury report.
🏥 Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) has been a full participant in practice and shouldn’t be hampered much by the high ankle sprain he suffered in December. We’ve seen him effectively use his legs throughout the postseason, so this is nothing to worry about.
🏥 Punter Matt Araiza (illness) missed practice on Wednesday. He practiced in full on Thursday and should be set to handle his duties on Sunday.
🏥 Tackle Jawaan Taylor (knee) has been on the injury report for the better part of the last two months as he has been dealing with a lingering issue. However, Taylor hasn’t missed a snap in the postseason and will play a pivotal role in slowing Philadelphia’s pass rush on Sunday at right tackle.
🏥 Wideout Skyy Moore (abdomen) has been out since mid-October with a core muscle injury. He has been limited in practice this week and will likely not suit up, given the dearth of other options Kansas City has at the position.
The lack of new injury issues makes the Chiefs an appealing bet to win their third consecutive Super Bowl title. Take them to win outright as one of your best NFL bets today.

Eagles Super Bowl Injury Report
The Eagles have a much longer injury report. However, there aren’t many concerns heading into Super Bowl 59.
🏥 Defensive tackle Jalen Carter (illness) missed his media availability on Wednesday and was limited in practice. However, he practiced in full on Thursday and appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday.
🏥 Philadelphia’s interior offensive linemen have been dealing with injury issues recently, but things seem to be progressing well. Starting guard Landon Dickerson and center Cam Jurgens practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday.
Backup guard Nick Gates was limited on Thursday, but that’s less of a concern for Saquon Barkley and the rushing attack if the starters are healthy.
🏥 Wideout Devonta Smith (hamstring) has been limited in practice this week, but he is expected to play and have a favorable matchup in the slot against Chiefs corner Chamarri Conner.
With fellow wideout AJ Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert not featured on the report, it may be worth taking a stab at the Over on quarterback Jalen Hurts’ passing yards as one of my favorite Super Bowl prop bets.
