Campbell (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Campbell popped up on the Patriots' injury report Thursday with an ankle injury that limited him in the team's final two practices of the week. The 2025 first-round pick is slated to serve as New England's top left tackle, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 1, Vederian Lowe will likely step in and protect Drake Maye's blind side.

Stills (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.

Stills managed a limited practice Friday after being sidelined Thursday. If he suits up for Sunday's season opener, Stills will likely play a rotational role in Arizona's pass rush.

McCaffrey (calf) is warming up in uniform at the start of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

McCaffrey appears ready to practice, one day after the 49ers added him to their injury report as a limited participant due to a calf issue. It's a sign that he hopes to play though the concern this Sunday at Seattle, although fantasy managers surely remain worried, given last year's saga with a so-called calf injury.

Johnson (foot) didn't practice Friday.

Johnson also was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, putting his availability in doubt ahead of Monday's season opener against Minnesota. Fellow backup running back Kyle Monangai is listed as a limited participant this week, while starter D'Andre Swift isn't on the injury report at all. Things are trending toward a busy Monday night for Swift, albeit against a tough Vikings defense that held him to 109 yards on 32 carries (3.4 YPC) in two matchups last year.

Hall (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hall upgraded to limited sessions Thursday and Friday after missing practice Wednesday. However, it still appears his knee injury will sideline him for Cleveland's regular-season opener. Adin Huntington and Shelby Harris could see increased work as rotational interior defensive linemen with Hall out Sunday.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that Mathis tore his ACL and will undergo surgery, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

The 26-year-old defensive back sustained a non-contact injury during Carolina's practice Wednesday that was later confirmed to be a torn ACL. Mathis, who was claimed from the Broncos in late August, posted three total tackles and one pass defended across 75 defensive snaps in 2024.

Lewis (shoulder/ankle) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

Lewis was held to limited participation in practice throughout the week due to ankle and shoulder injuries, but it now appears he'll play through the issues in Carolina's regular-season opener. The second-year Panther is expected to serve as the team's top left guard during the 2025 campaign.

Ekwonu (appendectomy) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

The 2022 first-round pick upgraded to a limited session Friday after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he's still unlikely to play in Week 1 after undergoing an emergency appendectomy in late August. Yosh Nijman will likely be the starter at left tackle until Ekwonu returns to full health.

Vea (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons after logging a full practice Friday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Vea returned to practice Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, and his ability to participate without limitations bodes well for the defensive tackle's availability come Sunday, though he didn't avoid an injury designation entirely. A final determination on Vea's status should come around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Atlanta.

Hunt (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.

Despite practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, Hunt will suit up and serve as Carolina's top right guard Sunday. The 29-year-old has missed only one contest since joining the Panthers in 2024 and will look to build on his first Pro Bowl campaign as he heads into the 2025 season.
