Groups formally began practising Wednesday, which suggests we have got a bunch of damage stories to kind by means of.

Steelers: OL Isaac Seumalo (pectoral), WR Roman Wilson (ankle), DE Logan Lee (calf) OUT; QB Russell Wilson (calf) QUESTIONABLE 
Falcons: CB Antonio Hamilton Sr. (groin) OUT 

Pittsburgh’s damage report just isn’t an excellent one. Whereas it appears grim, Wilson is holding out hope that he can play after he was restricted the final two days. Luckily for the Steelers, Justin Fields obtained in depth time with the first-team offense this summer season when Wilson was out, so he must be ready to begin if Wilson cannot go. 

For the Falcons, they may have tight finish Kyle Pitts for Sunday’s recreation after he was in a position to be a full apply participant the previous two days. 

Cardinals: WR Xavier Weaver (indirect) OUT; S Joey Blount (again), TE Tip Reiman (ankle) QUESTIONABLE 
Payments: DE Javon Solomon (indirect) OUT; DE Dawuane Smoot (toe) QUESTIONALE 

Concerning Weaver, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon stated that he’s trending towards making his NFL debut subsequent week. Blount and Reiman had been each restricted apply contributors on Friday. 

Smoot didn’t apply Friday after not having an damage designation the earlier two days. Luckily for the Payments, they’ve depth at DE (within the type of Von Miller, Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa and Casey Toohill) within the occasion that Smoot cannot go. 

Titans: S Jamal Adams (hip), LB Otis Reese (concussion) OUT; WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee), CB Chidobe Awuzie (calf) QUESTIONABLE

Allen’s and Sweat’s arrows are pointing up, as each gamers had been full apply contributors Friday. Conversely, issues aren’t wanting pretty much as good for Taylor, who did not apply after not showing on the damage report the earlier two days. 

Texans: S M.J. Stewart (knee) OUT 
Colts: WR Josh Downs (ankle) OUT; Ok Matt Homosexual (hernia) QUESTIONABLE 

Stewart, who didn’t have an damage designation initially of coaching camp after struggling a season-ending shoulder damage final November, didn’t apply all week. 

For the Colts, Homosexual didn’t apply all week, which clearly just isn’t an excellent signal for Sunday. The Colts just lately re-signed Spencer Shrader to the apply squad within the occasion that Homosexual just isn’t able to go by Sunday. 

Jaguars: S Daniel Thomas (Achilles) QUESTIONABLE
Dolphins: WR Malik Washington (quadricep) OUT; CB Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE 

Ramsey was restricted on Friday after not practising the earlier two days, which is clearly an excellent signal for Miami. For the Jaguars, Thomas was restricted all through the week.

Bengals: OT Amarius Mims (pectoral), DL Kris Jenkins (thumb) OUT; WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; WR Ja’Marr Chase (relaxation) QUESTIONABLE 

Gibson was restricted the final two days after not having an damage designation on Wednesday. Gibson’s attainable absence would probably result in a heavier workload for Rhamondre Stevenson. 

Chase will decide whether or not or not he performs Sunday as he’s hoping to have his contract prolonged previous to kickoff. If he performs, Chase assumes he shall be restricted. Higgins did not apply Friday, which is clearly not an excellent signal so far as taking part in Sunday. 

Panthers: TE Ian Thomas (calf), TE Tommy Tremble (hamstring/again) OUT; OT Yosh Nijman (tibia) QUESTIONABLE 
Saints: LB Jaylan Ford (hamstring), TE Dallin Holker (ankle), LB D’Marco Jackson (calf), DT Khalen Saunders (calf) OUT; WR A.T. Perry (hand), G Nick Saldiveri (calf), LB Willie Homosexual Jr. (again) QUESTIONABLE 

Carolina has a good finish downside, as Thomas and Tremble are each out for Sunday. The Panthers signed undrafted rookie Messiah Swinson off the Packers apply squad on Wednesday within the occasion that they had been quick at that place for Sunday. 

With Ford and Jackson already out, Homosexual’s standing for Sunday looms even bigger for the Saints. Homosexual was restricted all through the week. 

Giants: None 
Vikings: None 

As you may see, we have got a uncommon scenario the place neither group has any damage designations. Giants linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) will play after showing on the damage report through the week.

Chargers: WR DJ Chark (hip) OUT; CB Asante Samuel Jr. (shoulder), DB Tarheeb Nonetheless (hip) QUESTIONABLE 

A optimistic for the Raiders is that tight finish and rookie first-round choose Brock Bowers will play after being restricted earlier within the week with a foot damage. Jackson-Powers, a fellow rookie, wasn’t as lucky. Jordan Meredith is the first backup guard with Jackson-Powers out. 

The large information in Los Angeles is that quarterback Justin Herbert (foot) doesn’t have an damage designation for Sunday’s recreation. Ja’Sir Taylor, a 2022 sixth-round choose who made six begins final season, is in line to exchange Samuel if he isn’t in a position to play. 

Broncos: None 
Seahawks: LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee) OUT, TE Pharaoh Brown (foot) OUT, WR Tyler Lockett (thigh) QUESTIONABLE 

Seattle listed tight finish Pharaoh Brown (foot) and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (knee) as nonparticipants on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so each of them being dominated out isn’t surprising.  In the meantime, veteran broad receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) practiced in full on Friday as did tight finish Noah Fant (toe), security Rayshawn Jenkins (calf), and linebacker Dre’Mont Jones (hamstring). 

Cowboys: TE John Stephens Jr. (hamstring) OUT
Browns: LT Jedrick Wills (knee) OUT; RT Jack Conklin (knee) QUESTIONABLE

Stephens Jr. was the one Cowboys participant who didn’t apply on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, which is why he was dominated out for Week 1 on Sunday. Everybody else in Dallas practiced in full all week, so the Cowboys shall be a comparatively wholesome group to kick off the 2024 season. 

It was a unique story in Cleveland, as three gamers had been restricted: Conklin, Wills and defensive deal with Dalvin Tomlinson (knee). Wills ended up being the one one of many three being dominated out after present process surgical procedure final December. Conklin is questionable for Sunday. That is not nice information for a Browns squad set to face 2023 NFL quarterback pressures chief Micah Parsons.

Commanders: QB Marcus Mariota (chest) OUT; DT Jer’Zhan Newton (foot) uncertain 
Buccaneers: DE Logan Corridor (foot) OUT; DT Calijah Kancey (calf), WR Trey Palmer (concussion) QUESTIONABLE 

Veteran Jeff Driskel will fill in for Mariota as Washington’s main backup behind rookie Jayden Daniels. The Commanders may elect to advertise veteran Sheldon Day without work the apply squad if Newton cannot go.

Lions: S Loren Strickland (thumb) OUT; S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle) DOUBTFUL; DE D.J. Reader (quad) QUESTIONABLE 

Rams coach Sean McVay expressed confidence in backup Warren McClendon Jr. within the occasion that Havenstein is unable to go. A 2023 fifth-round choose, McLendon performed in six video games final 12 months however has but to begin in a regular-season recreation. 

For the Lions, Melifonwu and Reader had been restricted all week. Lions coach Dan Campbell stated that Reader took scout-team reps in opposition to Detroit’s beginning offensive line to arrange for the Rams, a sign that the previous Bengal will attempt to play. 

Jets at 49ers (Monday night time) 

Jets: LB Zaire Barnes (ankle), OL Wes Schweitzer (hand) OUT
49ers: DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee), LB Dee Winters (ankle) OUT; S Talanoa Hufanga (knee) DOUBTFUL; RB Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) QUESTIONABLE 

Clearly, the largest title from this damage report is McCaffrey, because the league’s high working again might not play. If McCaffrey is sidelined, Jordan Mason is slated to exchange him within the beginning lineup. Whereas he hasn’t performed a lot within the common season, Mason has made essentially the most of his reps. He ran for 464 yards on 83 carries with 4 touchdowns and a 5.6 yards-per-carry common through the earlier two seasons.
