Week 1 Fantasy Football Injury Updates Highlight Key Players' Statuses

Summary

Fantasy managers receive the latest injury reports for Week 1, with several starters listed as questionable or limited, while others are cleared to play.

The latest Week 1 injury report shows a mix of players cleared to play and others facing limited practice or uncertainty. Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain and missed the week after the injury; the team is expected to rely on rookie Mike Washington Jr. for the opener against the Dolphins. Chicago’s wide receiver Rome Odunze is dealing with a foot injury that may keep him out, though the Bears have other receivers available. Carolina running back Jonathon Brooks returns from multiple ACL tears but is likely to see a cautious workload in the season opener. New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara, after a minor knee issue, remains a backup following the Saints’ signing of Travis Etienne. Tampa Bay’s wide receiver Emeka Egbuka appears fully recovered from a toe injury and is ready to start. Cincinnati’s wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins each suffered minor injuries (knee tweak and heel contusion, respectively) but are expected to be available. New York Jets running back Breece Hall recovered from a strained groin and participated in full practice. Baltimore’s Zay Flowers had limited practice after a hamstring issue and may not be at full strength. Indianapolis wide receiver Alec Pierce is still rehabilitating from offseason heel surgery, limiting his preseason work. Arizona running back Jeremiyah Love returned from a high-ankle sprain with limited practice, while veteran Tyler Allgeier is ready to fill in if needed. New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers practiced fully, though head coach John Harbaugh has not confirmed his game status. Managers are advised to monitor these updates when setting lineups for the opening week.
