  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Bears' Case Keenum: Past leg injury

    Keenum (leg) was absent from the Bears' estimated injury report Thursday.

    Keenum missed the Bears' last two preseason games due to a leg injury. His absence from Thursday's injury report indicates that he is past the issue and is on track to serve as the Bears' QB3 behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent for Monday's regular-season opener against the Vikings at Soldier Field.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: No limitations Thursday

    Taylor (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor returned to full practice participation for the first time since late July, paving the way for him to suit up Week 1 against the Steelers as Justin Fields' backup. The veteran backup has been working his way back from a knee scope.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Past knee injury

    Jones (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Jones missed the 49ers' preseason finale due to a knee sprain, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates it is no longer an issue. The 2021 first-rounder is slated to begin the season as the 49ers' backup quarterback behind Brock Purdy. Jones had the same role in Jacksonville last year behind Trevor Lawrence, but the former appeared in 10 regular-season games (seven starts) and completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,672 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions while rushing for 92 yards and one score on 28 carries.

  • Rams' Matthew Stafford: Not on injury report, will start Week 1

    Stafford (back) isn't listed on the Rams' initial Week 1 practice report Wednesday, thus paving the way for him to start Sunday against the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    After opening training camp as a non-participant due to a disc issue in his back, Stafford resumed practicing on Aug. 18 and has ramped up his activity level in the meantime to the point that L.A. didn't include him on the injury report at all to begin Week 1 prep. With his status clear ahead of this weekend, he'll be operating with a skill-position group composed of RB Kyren Williams, WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams and TE Tyler Higbee.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | NYJ

    Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Gets in limited session

    Taylor (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Taylor had his knee scoped early on during training camp and missed the preseason. He recently returned to practice, however, and appears on track to handle QB2 duties behind Justin Fields in Sunday's Week 1 opener versus Pittsburgh.

  • Raiders' Kenny Pickett: Ready for Week 1

    Pickett (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Prior to being traded from the Browns to the Raiders on Aug. 25, Pickett had been managing a hamstring issue. The QB's full practice participation Wednesday, however, paves the way for him to serve as Geno Smith's backup in Week 1 against the Patriots. Meanwhile, fellow signal caller Aidan O'Connell (wrist) is on IR and will miss at least four games out of the gate this season.

  • Andy Dalton QB | CAR

    Panthers' Andy Dalton: Should be available at Jacksonville

    Dalton (elbow) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

    Dalton was dealing with an elbow sprain late in training camp, but it looks like he'll be back to full strength for the start of the regular season. He's listed as the next man up in the event that starter Bryce Young has to come out for any reason.

  • Tanner McKee QB | PHI

    Eagles' Tanner McKee: Ruled out for Week 1

    McKee (thumb) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys.

    McKee won't be available at home versus Dallas in Week 1, leaving Sam Howell in position to serve as the top backup to quarterback Jalen Hurts. The 2023 sixth-round pick is working his way back from a thumb fracture on his right throwing hand suffered Aug. 24. His next chance to suit up will come Week 2 on the road at Kansas City on Sunday, Sept. 14.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Not on injury report

    Jackson (foot) isn't on the Week 1 injury report.

    As expected, after Jackson was mostly healthy throughout the offseason and training camp, with his lone interruption being a minor foot injury in late August. He was merely stepped on, and returned to practice a few days later, giving him two full weeks to get ready for Sunday's revenge matchup at Buffalo. The official injury report confirms Jackson is at full strength heading into the regular season.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Practices in full Wednesday

    Love (thumb) officially was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Coach Matt LaFleur announced that Love was handling every practice rep as of last Wednesday after the quarterback underwent a procedure for a ligament injury in his left thumb following preseason Week 1. According to Demovsky, Love continued to wear a brace on the thumb in question this Wednesday, but he told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic afterward that it isn't limiting him, and that he'll be able to hand off normally Sunday versus the Lions. Love thus is set for his first game action with rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden this weekend, but there's a chance WR Jayden Reed isn't available due to a Jones fracture in his left foot that kept him off the field to start Week 1 prep.
