As exciting as it is to have NFL training camps in full flow and preseason games underway, they also bring setbacks.
With Week 1 just over three weeks away, here is the latest status on the key players who are nursing injuries.

Last updated Tuesday, August 18 at 12.10pm.
| Player | POS | Team | Updated | Injury and timeline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordyn Tyson | WR | Saints | August 17 | Suffered a hamstring injury in practice. No confirmed return date from the team, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggested he could be sidelined for two months or more. |
| Kyle Monangai | RB | Bears | August 17 | Knee got hyperextended during a session over the weekend. Figure on him missing several weeks, though the early read is fairly upbeat. |
| Breece Hall | RB | Jets | August 17 | Non-contact groin strain at practice. Jets calling it minor, though he's expected to sit out the final two preseason games. |
| Jeremiyah Love | RB | Cardinals | August 17 | High ankle sprain from his preseason debut. Cardinals hope he's back for the Sept 13 opener, though playing again this preseason looks unlikely. |
| D.J. Moore | WR | Bills | August 17 | Ankle injury picked up August 15. Not considered serious, per Joe Brady, but Buffalo's being careful with Week 1 in mind. |
| Xavier Woods | S | Bears | August 17 | Groin issue forced him off early against the Browns. No word yet from Ben Johnson on severity or when he's back practising. |
| Daniel Jones | QB | Colts | August 17 | Working back from a torn Achilles suffered in December. Fully practising, with barely a hint of the injury left, by reports. |
| Mike Evans | WR | 49ers | August 17 | Quad strain from the opening week of camp. Back to full 11-on-11 work on August 15, his first time since August 1. |
| Zay Flowers | WR | Ravens | August 17 | Left quad contusion, now fully healed. Rested for the Eagles game as a precaution rather than any ongoing concern. |
| Malik Nabers | WR | Giants | August 17 | Still working back from his ACL tear. Doing full 11-on-11 reps in a non-contact jersey, tracking for Week 1 against Dallas. |
| Jalon Walker | EDGE | Falcons | August 17 | Torn ACL ends his rookie season before it starts. Reconstructive surgery is next, no return timeline yet. |
| Marcus Mariota | QB | Commanders | August 17 | MCL sprain rules him out for the rest of the preseason. Washington still expects him ready for Week 1. |
| Jamal Adams | S | Vikings | August 17 | Season-ending right knee injury, suffered in Minnesota's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants. |
| Graham Mertz | QB | Texans | August 17 | Torn ACL in the preseason-opening loss to the Chargers. Season over for Houston's backup quarterback. |
| Tank Dell | WR | Texans | August 17 | Working back from a brutal 2024 knee injury, hit full team drills August 11. Ryans still won't commit him to any preseason games. |
| Myles Garrett | DE | Rams | August 17 | Sean McVay flagged this week that Garrett may sit out practice entirely, with no reason given yet. |
| Michael Penix Jr. | QB | Falcons | August 17 | Knee issue keeping him capped at 7-on-7 work rather than progressing to full team drills this week. |
| Tristan Wirfs | OT | Buccaneers | August 17 | Managing a hamstring problem this month, but back out at practice for the start of this week. |
| Xavier Watts | S | Falcons | August 17 | Back at practice this week after an undisclosed issue, with no further detail offered on what kept him out. |
| Beaux Collins | WR | Falcons | August 17 | Signed with Atlanta this week while still working through concussion protocol, per reports. |
| Darren Waller | TE | Panthers | August 17 | Sat out his first session with Carolina straight after signing, a normal ramp-up rather than a fresh injury concern. |
| Mansoor Delane | CB | Chiefs | August 17 | Shoulder issue no longer holding him back, taking full reps at this week's practice. |
| Xavier Worthy | WR | Chiefs | August 17 | Shoulder problem easing, with 7-on-7 work this week pointing toward a return to full practice soon. |
| Chris Bell | WR | Dolphins | August 17 | Off Miami's non-football injury list this week after a knee issue, clearing the way to practice again. |
| T'Vondre Sweat | DT | Jets | August 17 | Hamstring trouble behind him for now, back practising after coming off New York's non-football injury list. |
| Makai Lemon | WR | Eagles | August 17 | Hamstring strain has him doing conditioning work on the side rather than full team drills for now. |
| Mitch Trubisky | QB | Titans | August 17 | Grabbed at his arm after uncorking a deep throw, with the Titans now checking for a possible biceps problem. Will Levis could see extra snaps as a result. |
| JJ Roberts | S | Buccaneers | August 17 | Knee issue clearly easing, working in full pads at this week's practice. |
| George Kittle | TE | 49ers | August 16 | Recovering from a torn Achilles since January. Now sounding confident about avoiding a PUP-list start, even eyeing Week 1. |
| Micah Parsons | DE | Packers | August 16 | Still building back from a torn ACL. Targeting Green Bay's Oct 18 Week 6 clash with Dallas, though a PUP stint remains likely. |
| Nnamdi Madubuike | DT | Ravens | August 14 | Ten months on from neck surgery, he's off the PUP list but still limited to individual drills. Full reps could come within weeks. |
| Chase Bisontis | OT | Cardinals | August 14 | Torn MCL in the preseason opener ends his rookie season before it begins, a tough blow for a top interior line prospect. |
| Ricky Pearsall | WR | 49ers | August 13 | PCL surgery ends his season entirely, confirmed in the middle of August. |
| Patrick Mahomes | QB | Chiefs | August 13 | Full practice reps since camp opened, working back from a torn ACL and LCL. Sitting out the preseason opener against the Rams. |
| Christian Kirk | WR | 49ers | August 13 | Calf strain from late July has kept him out for weeks, including San Francisco's first exhibition game. No firm return date yet. |
| Kenyon Sadiq | TE | Jets | August 12 | Hernia surgery setback has him sidelined, though Aaron Glenn doesn't expect him to miss the season opener. |
| Christian McCaffrey | RB | 49ers | August 10 | Sat out a session after the team flagged only "tightness," with little else offered on what that actually means. |
| Coby Bryant | S | Bears | August 11 | Knee surgery after a hyperextension in camp. Four to six months on the sideline expected as a result. |
| Nick Bosa | DE | 49ers | August 11 | Sore, inflamed knee tendon has kept him out of practice. Kyle Shanahan calling his outlook week-to-week. |
| Laremy Tunsil | OT | Commanders | August 9 | Torn triceps needs surgery, ruling him out for most of the season. Brandon Coleman steps in at left tackle. |
