NFL Week 1 injury report: Ja’Marr Chase limited in return to practice; Colts could be without starting kicker

It may be Week 1, but there are a host of injuries fans will want to monitor in the days leading up to kickoff. Fortunately for you, we’re tracking every notable injury and will include it in our weekly injury rundown. 

Below, you can see each Week 1 matchup and the notable injuries that every team is currently dealing with.

With Brown out, expect more targets for Rashee Rice, the Chiefs’ second-year wideout who led all Kansas City receivers in receiving yards in 2023. 

If Ali (who was limited throughout this week’s practices) can’t go, the Ravens will likely promote one of their practice squad running backs (either John Kelly or Chris Collier) to the active roster. Either way, Baltimore’s rushing attack will be spearheaded by former 2,000-yard rusher Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Wideout Romeo Doubs (hand) and tight end Tucker Kraft (back) were among the six Packers players who were described as limited on Wednesday (Green Bay did not practice, so designations were estimates). Doubs was also limited on Tuesday, while…
