NFL Week 1 Injury Report: Key Players Out or Questionable Across Multiple Teams

Week 1 of the NFL is here, and while that is exciting, there are several teams dealing with notable injuries as they enter their first games of the season. The Atlanta Falcons won't have their top two quarterbacks, the Las Vegas Raiders will be without their top weapon in Brock Bowers, and the New York Giants could potentially be without their top wideout, Malik Nabers, for their primetime conference clash with the Dallas Cowboys.

While almost every NFL team will have a player or two listed on their final injury reports, these will likely be the cleanest injury reports all year! Below, we will break down the official injury reports for Week 1 in the NFL.

New Orleans Saints at Detroit Lions

Saints:TE Oscar Delp (hamstring), RB Audric Estime (thigh), DE Cameron Jordan (hamstring) OUT; RB Alvin Kamara (knee) QUESTIONABLE

Lions: TBA

The Saints won't have veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan for Week 1, as he sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury. Running back Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable to play with his MCL sprain, but did practice as a full participant on Friday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals

Buccaneers: OT Justin Skule (oblique), RB Sean Tucker (hamstring), WR Jalen McMillan (knee) DOUBTFUL; LB Christian Rozeboom (foot) QUESTIONABLE

Bengals: DE Shemar Stewart (knee) DOUBTFUL

Baker Mayfield could be without one of his wide receivers in Jalen McMillan, who was limited all week in practice with a knee injury. He's doubtful to suit up. The same is true for backup running back Sean Tucker, who missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

For the Bengals, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and DJ Turner II were all listed on the injury report, but carry no game designations into Week 1 -- which is good. Shemar Stewart on the other hand missed practice Friday with a knee injury, and is considered doubtful.

Baltimore Ravens at Indianapolis Colts

Ravens: TBA

Colts: TBA

Cleveland Browns at Jacksonville Jaguars

Browns: OG Teven Jenkins (back) OUT, C Parker Brailsford (thumb) QUESTIONABLE

Jaguars: TBA

Browns starting right guard Teven Jenkins will miss the season opener with a back injury. Rookie Austin Barber will start in his place next to Tytus Howard on the right side.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans

Jets: EDGE Joseph Ossai (foot), WR Tim Patrick (groin) OUT; RB Kene Nwangwu (back), DB D'Angelo Ponds (calf) DOUBTFUL

Titans: TBA

The Jets will be without free agent addition Joseph Ossai on Sunday, as he missed practice all week with a foot injury. Rookie slot corner D'Angelo Ponds was limited all week with a calf injury, and is considered doubtful. That means Jarvis Brownlee Jr. will see plenty of action against his former team.

Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers

Bears: QB Tyson Bagent (back), WR Rome Odunze (calf), OL Ozzy Trapilo (knee), DB Xavier Woods (groin) QUESTIONABLE

Panthers: EDGE Patrick Jones II (back) OUT

Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is questionable to suit up Sunday after being limited in practice all week with a calf injury. Ozzy Trapilo, who is also questionable, was limited all week with a knee injury, and Xavier Woods was limited Thursday and Friday with a groin injury. He too is questionable.

The Panthers had a relatively clean injury report, with Patrick Jones II the only player listed. That also means running back Jonathon Brooks is cleared to play in his first NFL game since Dec. 8, 2024.

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

Packers: TBA

Vikings: NONE

No injury designations for the Vikings entering Week 1. Safety Jacob Thomas and offensive tackle Caleb Tiernan were listed on the report earlier this week with ankle injuries, but will play.
