Fantasy Impact: The exact nature of Jackson's soreness that kept him out of Monday's practice is unknown, but there doesn't seem to be any concern that he will miss any time. The Ravens expect him to return to practice in the coming days, and fantasy managers should deploy him as they would at home against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: The injury seems to be serious for Johnson to be ruled out a few days before the game. The Bills defense will be a little short-handed heading into Thursday's divisional matchup against Miami.


Malik Washington missed practice on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Washington was sidelined in Sunday's season opener and it appears he could remain out on a short week on Thursday. He'll have to return to practice by Wednesday to have a chance to make his debut.

Fantasy Impact: It is good news for Ferguson after it had been reported that he could miss some time. It is still possible he is sidelined on Sunday, but it appears he could only miss one game at the most.


Colts coach Shane Steichen had no update on Josh Downs status for Week 2 on Monday. (Source: Mike Chappell on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Downs was sidelined to open the season for the Colts. His status will be worth monitoring throughout the week regarding the roles for Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell and Ashton Dulin.


Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald did not have an update on the status of Kenneth Walker on Monday. (Source: Brady Henderson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Walker was on the sidelines for the end of Sunday's game due to a reported abdomen injury. Walker told reporters after the game that he believes he is fine. It appears Walker should be good to go on Sunday, but his status at practice throughout the week is still something to monitor.

Fantasy Impact: Slayton will have to clear the protocols in the next few days to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Jalin Hyatt could see some more snaps if he is sidelined.


49ers pass-rusher Yetur Gross-Matos will remain out for Monday Night Football as he deals with a knee sprain suffered in preseason. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gross-Matos signed a two-year deal with San Fransisco this offseason after playing out his rookie deal with the Panthers. He avoided an ACL injury in preseason and will look to return soon in hopes to contributing to the 49ers' defense.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is not going to be placed on IR. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Love has not yet been ruled out to play in Week 2, but the expectation is that Malik Willis will draw the start. The team is hopeful that Love will be able to suit up in Week 3 and want to avoid ruling him out for four games by placing him on IR.


Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. Is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a ankle sprain. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Winfield will miss the team's next game against Detroit. Kaevon Merriweather will likely step in as the starting free safety until Winfield is cleared to return.


Raheem Mostert (chest) was listed as a non-participant on Miami's estimated injury report on Monday. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Miami didn't actually practice on Monday, but they released an estimated injury report that included Mostert. He is dealing with a chest injury of some kind, and it remains to be seen how severe it is. The Dolphins have just a few days before they play the Bills on Thursday night, and with De'Von Achane (ankle) also on the injury report, Miami may be looking to Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie Jaylen Wright to see the bulk of the work out of the backfield.


De'Von Achane (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Miami's estimated practice report on Monday. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Achane seemingly suffered some kind of a leg injury towards the end of Miami's win over the Jaguars on Sunday, and that is now confirmed. He was listed as a non-participant on Miami's estimated injury report, and it's unclear if he's going to be well enough to play on Thursday night. With Raheem Mostert (chest) also on the injury report, we could see rookie Jaylen Wright make his debut in a primetime game against the Bills.


Rams WR Puka Nacua will be placed on injured reserve with a sprained PCL, per head coach Sean McVay. (Source: Stu Jackson on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Nacua will now miss at least four games, depending on the severity of the injury and how quickly he can return to practice in the future. This will likely open up more targets for Demarcus Washington and Tyler Johnson moving forward.


Josh Allen (hand) has been cleared to practice and will play in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins Thursday night. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Allen did not suffer a significant hand injury according to head coach Sean McDermott and now is in line for another QB1 performance in all formats for fantasy managers.


Jordan Addison (ankle) is experiencing significant soreness in his injured ankle according to head coach Kevin O’Connell. (Source: Kevin Seifert on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Addison was able to heal quickly during training camp after suffering a similar ankle injury for the Vikings. The head coach stated the team will take a cautious approach with the talented wideout’s practice participation in hopes that Addison will be cleared to play in Week 2. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the pass-catcher’s status for Week 2 as the week progresses.


Raiders EDGE Tyree Wilson suffered a knee sprain Sunday. The injury is not believed to be a long-term. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Wilson was ruled out of Sunday's loss due to the knee injury, but this appears to be a best case scenario for the Raiders. Fantasy managers should expect Wilson's injury to be updated through the practice report heading into Week 2.


Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell (hamstring) "will miss some time," per head coach Doug Pederson. (Source: John Shipley on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: The Jaguars are not placing a firm timetable on a return for their top cornerback. He should be considered week-to-week for now until the team provides more information on the severity of the injury.


Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquise Brown is "getting close" to a return and "feeling better," says head coach Andy Reid. (Source: Adam Teicher on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brown is recovering from a sternoclavicular joint dislocation which he suffered in K.C.'s preseason debut on Aug. 10. A month later, he could be eyeing a return; Tyreek Hill suffered a similar injury in 2019 and returned after four weeks, though he may have hit the low end on his recovery timeline. If Brown can return in Week 2, he will have an immediate role in an offense that looked strong on Thursday night. His practice report should be monitored this week (three DNPs ahead of Week 1).
