Super Bowl Injury Report

It is very important to go over the injury report before making your wagers in any NFL game. That is certainly the case in the Super Bowl as well. The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens each come in relatively healthy. Their health is a big reason why both teams were able to win their respective conferences to advance to Super Bowl XLVII.

I am going to go through each team’s injury report to give you the most up-to-date information as of Thursday, January 24th. It appears that there are only a few players that you really need to pay attention to for both teams while handicapping the game.
