Super Bowl 57 kicks off Sunday, Feb. 12, at 6:30 p.m. ET. One of the biggest betting factors every year for the NFL Championship Game is checking the injury reports.
Which players are at risk of missing a chance to suit up to win a ring? What have the daily NFL practice reports said about someone’s chances of playing?
The two Super Bowl quarterbacks appear fine despite recent health setbacks.
Patrick Mahomes has seemingly fought off a severe ankle injury after a gutsy AFC Championship Game performance that sent his Kansas City Chiefs to the Super Bowl. Still, KC has some questions looming over important contributors heading into Super Bowl LVII.
Meanwhile, the NFC’s representative, the Philadelphia Eagles, have little to be concerned about outside of players on injured reserve, who already have been factored out of their NFL playoff plans. (More on QB Jalen Hurts below.)
Read to see how the Chiefs and Eagles injury reports could influence how to bet on Super Bowl 57.

Practice reports, official injury designations, and Super Bowl odds written below are current as of Sunday, Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. ET. The NFL injury report widget may show more current information. This injury analysis will be updated heading into Super Bowl Sunday.
Chiefs Super Bowl Injury Report
The Chiefs are mainly dealing with injuries to players on offense — mainly wide receivers.
🏥 Mecole Hardman (pelvis) has already been revealed as unlikely to play by head coach Andy Reid. Kadarius Toney (ankle) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) are among other WRst listed as questionable.
The Chiefs could lean more on Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore to complement TE Travis Kelce and the running game.
(In the event one or more Chiefs starting wideouts are inactive, see which player stats to target in our Super Bowl player props.)
Good thing the Chiefs offense has proved adept at rotating production among pass-catchers during their march through the AFC. However, a bigger problem could be a possible absence on the defensive side.
🏥 CB L’Jarius Sneed sustained a concussion in the AFC Championship Game and not yet cleared protocol; he’s also uncertain for Super Bowl 57. A limited or inactive Sneed could prove costly as KC’s shaky defensive backfield depth would deal with the Eagles’ talented pass-catching corps of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert.
This would strengthen the case to bet on Eagles Team Total Points: Over 25.5 (-110) at DraftKings Sportsbook as an NFL pick of the day.
🏥 UPDATE 2/7: Though KC placed Hardman on IR, KC activated running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire from injured reserve.
CEH may find room to contribute to this Super Bowl Sunday backfield, but the Chiefs have seen flashes of success from the pair of Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon.
Eagles Super Bowl Injury Report
Remarkably heading into Super Bowl week, the Eagles aren’t dealing with a significant injury.
Jalen Hurts’ recent shoulder injury remains under the microscope by analysts and onlookers; he’s averaged just 168 passing yards across the three games following his return from the right shoulder sprain that cost him Weeks 16 and 17.
Luckily, Hurts’ ability to dominate via the ground game to back up one of the NFL’s best defenses leaves him in fine condition, barring any last-minute setbacks before the Eagles’ second Super Bowl in six years.
