Injury Updates as NFL Week 1 Approaches
As Week 1 of the NFL season kicks off, fans in various cities should keep a close eye on the injury lists as teams prepare for their matchups. The league officially began practice on Wednesday, leading to a number of injury reports that could shake up game plans. Notably, the Ravens faced a setback when veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy exited the Thursday night opener due to a fractured orbital bone. His expected recovery time remains unclear.
Looking at individual teams, the Steelers are facing significant challenges with several key players. Offensive lineman Isaac Seumalo and wide receiver Roman Wilson are confirmed OUT for the game, while quarterback Russell Wilson is listed as QUESTIONABLE due to a calf injury. Despite the uncertainty, there’s hope Wilson can still play as he has been limited in practice.
Meanwhile, the Falcons will be without cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr. (groin), while the Cardinals report that wide receiver Xavier Weaver (oblique) is also OUT. On the bright side, the Jaguars are able to include safety Daniel Thomas as QUESTIONABLE, indicating he may take the field this week.
The Dolphins will be missing wide receiver Malik Washington due to a quadriceps injury, but cornerback Jalen Ramsey is showing encouraging progress and is QUESTIONABLE after practicing on Friday. On the other side, the Pats are dealing with a loss of guard Sidy Sow (ankle), while running back Antonio Gibson is also noted as QUESTIONABLE.
In a surprising twist, the Giants and Vikings are in an unusual position as neither team has significant injury issues, a rare sight in the league. For the Giants, linebacker Brian Burns is expected to play after being monitored for an ankle issue throughout the week. The Raiders and Chargers also face minor bumps, though the biggest news is that Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is in great shape and has no injury designation going into the game.
As the weekend approaches, keep an eye on these injury reports as they are sure to affect gameplay. Fans will want to stay updated as teams finalize their rosters leading to kickoff.
