It may be Week 1, but there are a slew of injuries that fans will want to keep an eye on in the days leading up to kickoff. Luckily for you, we’re tracking every notable injury and will include it in our weekly injury roundup.
Below, you can see every Week 1 matchup and the notable injuries each team is currently dealing with. Teams officially started practicing on Wednesday, which means we have a lot of injury reports to sort out. One notable injury update from Thursday night’s season opener was Ravens veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy exiting early after breaking an orbital bone. It is not yet known how much time he will miss.
Here’s a play-by-play rundown of each team’s current injury situation.
Note: Team summaries that do not have an official game-time designation are from Wednesday’s initial injury report.
Packers at Eagles (Friday night in Brazil)
Packers: TE Tucker Kraft (back), RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring), RB Emanuel Wilson (hip) QUESTIONABLE
Eagles: CB Isaiah Rodgers (hand), LB Devin White (ankle) OUT
Each of Green Bay’s questionable players was limited during Thursday’s estimated practice, which could be considered a positive sign. For the Eagles, White’s absence clears the way for three-year veteran Nakobe Dean to make his fifth career start.
It’s no surprise that the Steelers’ injury-plagued offensive line had a notable presence on the team’s first injury report. Veteran Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) did not practice and is not expected to play Sunday. Rookie Troy Fautanu (knee) was limited, which is a positive sign about his potential Week 1 status. Fellow rookie Roman Wilson (ankle) and running back Jaylen Warren (hamstring) were limited.
Tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) and linebacker Nate Landman (quadriceps) — the only two Falcons on the injury report — were limited practice participants. Pitts’ status for Sunday is currently up in the air.
Arizona’s only absence on Wednesday was wideout Xavier Weaver, who is dealing with an oblique injury. Tight end Tip Reiman (ankle) was limited.
Defensive end Javon Solomon (italic) was the only Bills player who did not practice. Backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (knee) was limited.
Titans: S Jamal Adams (hip), LB Otis Reese (concussion) OUT; WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee), CB Chidobe Awuzie (calf) DOUBTFUL
Bears: DL Zacch Pickens (groin) OUT; WR Keenan Allen (heel), DL Montez Sweat (toe), DL Darrell Taylor (foot), DL Demarcus Walker (groin) DOUBTFUL
Hopkins was limited all week, while Awuzie was limited Friday after not having an injury designation for the week. The former All-Pro wideout recently said as much he tore his MCL about five weeks ago and plans to survive the injury.
Allen and Sweat’s arrows are pointing up, as both players were full practice participants on Friday. Conversely, things are not looking so good for Taylor, who did not practice after not appearing on the injury report the previous two days.
Safety MJ Stewart (knee) was the only Texas player on Wednesday’s injury report. Stewart — who did not have an injury designation at the start of training camp after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury last November — did not practice
Colts wideout Josh Downs (ankle) and kicker Matt Gay (hernia) did not practice Wednesday. The Colts recently re-signed Spencer Shrader to the practice squad in the event that Gay is not ready to go by Sunday.
Every Jaguars player practiced, with safety Daniel Thomas (who was limited with an Achilles injury) being the only player with an injury designation.
Miami had a whopping 12 players who were either limited or held out of Wednesday’s practice, though a half-dozen of those players got rest days. Linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles/rest) and cornerback Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) were among the four Miami players who did not practice. A positive for the Dolphins was that stars Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle did not have an injury designation after dealing with injuries this summer.
Bengal: OT Amarius Mims (pectoral), DL Kris Jenkins (thumb) OUT; WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; WR Ja’Marr Chase (rest) DOUBTFUL
Chase will determine whether or not he plays Sunday as he hopes to have his contract extended before kickoff. If he plays, Chase figures he’ll be limited. Higgins did not practice Friday, which is obviously not a good sign in terms of playing Sunday.
Carolina has a tight end issue, as tight ends Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (back/hamstring) did not practice. Running back Miles Sanders (finger) was limited. The Panthers signed undrafted rookie Messiah Swinson off the Packers’ practice squad on Wednesday if they need a tight end for Sunday.
New Orleans is currently dealing with some injuries at linebacker. Willie Gay Jr. (back) and Pete Werner (shoulder) were limited Wednesday, while fellow linebacker D’Marco Jackson (calf) was limited. Starting defensive back Marshon Lattimore (hip) was limited, while starting defensive tackle Khalen Saunders (calf) did not practice.
Giants: No one
Vikings: No one
As you can see, we have a rare situation where no team has any injury designations. Giants linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) will play after appearing on the injury report during the week. For the Vikings, wideouts Jordan Addison (ankle) and Jalen Nailor (ankle) will also play after being full participants during Friday’s practice.
First-round rookie tight end Brock Bowers was a limited participant in Wednesday’s session as he nurses a foot injury. Linebacker Tommy Eichenberg (knee) and cornerback Decamerion Richardson (hamstring) were also limited.
The Chargers were missing wideout DJ Chark Jr. from Wednesday’s practice due to a hip injury. Meanwhile, cornerback Tarheeb Still was limited with a hip injury.
It was a clean injury report for the Broncos, who made a news on Wednesday when they announced that Bo Nix is the team’s first rookie captain since Hall of Fame running back Floyd Little said the honor back in 1967.
Seattle listed tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (knee) as non-participants on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the team limited tight end Noah Fant (toe), wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh), safety Rayshawn Jenkins (calf), and linebacker Dre’Mont Jones (hamstring).
Tight end John Stephens Jr. (hamstring) was the only Cowboys player who did not practice Wednesday.
It was a different story in Cleveland, when eight players were limited, including offensive linemen Jack Conklin (knee), Jedrick Wills (knee) and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson (knee). Willis’ limited status was positive given that he had been sidelined since undergoing surgery last December.
Defensive tackle Daron Payne (back), quarterback Marcus Mariota (chest) and defensive tackles Jer’Zhan Newton (foot) and Trent Scott (knee) were limited for the Commanders. Newton will be evaluated on Friday before a decision is made on his status for Sunday.
For Tampa Bay, defensive lineman Logan Hall (foot) and kicker Chase McLaughlin (abdomen/illness) were the only players who did not practice. The Buccaneers have to feel good about McLaughlin’s status because they currently don’t have a kicker on their practice squad.
Offensive lineman Rob Havenstein (ankle) was limited for the Rams to start the week, while corners Darious Williams and Cobie Durant were limited with hamstring injuries.
Starting Lions defensive tackle DJ Reader (quad) was limited Wednesday. Lions coach Dan Campbell said there’s still a chance Reader — a former Bengal who spent the summer recovering from last year’s season-ending quad injury — plays Sunday.
Jets at 49ers (Monday night)
