  Steelers | T.J. Watt suffers pec injury    Sun Sep 11, 04:04 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt (pectoral) suffered an apparent pectoral injury in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Footballguys view: The fear is that it's a torn pec, which could end his season. The Steelers had one of the most stirring wins in recent memory, but it could have come at a large cost. They should be still be a decent D/ST start next week without Watt against the Patriots.

  Lions | Detroit's injury report for Week 1    Fri Sep 9, 04:29 PM

Detroit Lions OG Tommy Kraemer (back) and DT Levi Onwuzurike (back) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. S Ifeatu Melifonwu (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as doubtful. LB Julian Okwara (hamstring) and C Frank Ragnow (groin) were limited in practice Friday, Sept, 9, and are listed as questionable. LB Chris Board (knee), DE John Cominsky (illness) and PK Austin Seibert (groin) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Ragnow practicing is good news after his groin injury raised the specter of a long absence earlier in the week. The team has already lost a guard and a backup guard, losing one of the best centers in the game would have been a big blow. He's still not a sure thing to play against the tough Eagles defensive line, so it could be a long afternoon for the between the tackles running game.

  Ravens | Week 1 injury report for Baltimore    Fri Sep 9, 03:49 PM

Baltimore Ravens DT Travis X. Jones (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 1 against the New York Jets. OT Ronnie Stanley (ankle) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday, Sept. 9, but is listed as doubtful. CB Marcus Peters (rest, knee) did not practice Friday but is listed as questionable. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) was limited in practice all week and is also listed as questionable. DE Calais Campbell (rest) and LB Justin Houston (rest) did not practice Friday but no longer appear the injury report. TE Nick Boyle (rest, ankle) was upgraded to a full practice Friday and was also been removed from the injury report.

Footballguys view: The hope was that Stanley would be back against the Jets, but the foundational left tackle is unlikely to go against a revitalized Jets pass rush. Dobbins has always seemed iffy at best for Week 1. He should be on your bench, and be thrilled if he plays and goes off. It's not clear whether Mike Davis or Kenyan Drake will be the better play in place of Dobbins. Both are desperation plays this week.

  Colts | Shaquille Leonard to sit the opener    Fri Sep 9, 02:03 PM

Indianapolis Colts LB Shaquille Leonard (back) was ruled out for Week 1 versus the Houston Texans on Friday, Sept. 9.

Footballguys view: This improves the matchup for Dameon Pierce and maybe Brevin Jordan. Certainly the Texans offense will be helped by avoiding probably the best off ball linebacker in the game. IDP players will be without one of the top picks in drafts this week.
