Injury Report2026 NFL Week 1

Out or Doubtful

• Brock Bowers (TE, LV). Out. He underwent meniscus trim surgery and will reportedly miss 1-2 games. Pivot: Michael Mayer (TE, LV), who averaged 7.3 targets across three 2025 games without Bowers, making him a fine one-week streamer.
• Tua Tagovailoa (QB, ATL). Out with an oblique injury. Cooper Rush will get the start for the Falcons on the road against the Steelers. Pivot: keep Bijan Robinson (RB, ATL) and Drake London (WR, ATL) in, but London fell from WR8 to WR15 in one projection set, so temper expectations.
• Jalen McMillan (WR, TB). Doubtful, knee, limited all week in practice. Pivot: Emeka Egbuka (WR, TB), who is recovered from a toe injury and will be available against the Bengals in a game with shootout potential.

Questionable

• Malik Nabers (WR, NYG). Full participant in practice Friday for the third consecutive day, but his status remains uncertain because of the game designation. Lean: start if you can wait for Sunday night news, otherwise have a bench swap ready.
• Jeremiyah Love (RB, ARI). Limited all week with a high ankle sprain, and a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters Friday. Lean: start as a flex, with Tyler Allgeier (RB, ARI) as the backup plan.
• Rome Odunze (WR, CHI). Limited all week. However, he stated on Friday that he will be suiting up in Week 1. Lean: start as a WR3.
• Patrick Mahomes (QB, KC). Currently listed as questionable, all signs point to Mahomes being under center in Week 1 on Monday night. Lean: start.

Game-time Decisions

Nabers (8:20 p.m. ET) and Love (4:25 p.m. ET) are the late-window landmines, so lock in a 1 p.m. alternative for each slot only if you cannot check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff. Ashton Jeanty (RB, LV) was a full participant and should be started with confidence.
