NFL Week 1 injury reports: Packers Jordan Love without top WRs vs Bears; Darren Waller questionable

NFL fans are closely monitoring the injury reports heading into Week 1, with several key players questionable or out.

Heading into Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season, there are several key injuries that fans are closely monitoring. One position that has been hit hard is tight end, with both Travis Kelce and George Kittle dealing with injuries that could potentially sideline them for the opening weekend of the NFL.

Kittle, in particular, has a nagging groin injury that puts his status for the San Francisco 49ers' season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers in jeopardy. Similarly, Darren Waller, the tight end for the New York Giants, is questionable for their opener against the Dallas Cowboys due to a groin injury.

As the final injury reports come in from around the league, we will delve deeper into each situation and also examine the injury situations of all NFL teams entering Week 1.

Let's start with the opening game of the season between the 49ers and the Steelers. The 49ers have listed George Kittle (groin) and Charvarius Ward (heel) as questionable, while the Steelers have Larry Ogunjobi (foot) listed as questionable. The spotlight is on Kittle, who has been dealing with an adductor strain since August 10.

Moving on to the Buccaneers vs. Vikings game, the Vikings have Marcus Davenport (ankle) listed as questionable, while the Buccaneers have Calijah Kancey (calf) and Cody Mauch (back) listed as questionable. Davenport was a late addition to the injury report after being limited in practice on Friday, but everyone else is good to go for the Vikings.

The Cardinals vs. Commanders game sees the Cardinals without Kelvin Beachum (hand) and with Marquise Brown (hamstring) and Zach Ertz (knee) listed as questionable. The Commanders have Chase Young (neck) and James Smith-Williams (oblique) listed as questionable. This is a blow for the Cardinals, who are already without starting quarterback Kyler Murray due to a torn ACL last season, and now two of their top pass-catchers are not at 100%.

The Titans vs. Saints game information is yet to be determined.

In the Panthers vs. Falcons game, the Panthers have DJ Chark (hamstring) listed as out and Adam Thielen (ankle) listed as questionable. The Falcons have Jeff Okudah (foot) listed as out and Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) and KhaDarel Hodge (ankle) listed as questionable. Chark tried to give it a go in practice but the Panthers decided to give him a week to rest, while Thielen was limited after missing Thursday's practice. The Falcons' Patterson has been limited all week with a thigh injury and is a game-time decision.

The Jaguars vs. Colts game information is yet to be determined.

In the Texans vs. Ravens game, the Texans have Dare Ogunbowale (hamstring) listed as questionable, while Blake Cashman (hamstring), John Metchie III (hamstring), and Jimmie Ward (hip) are listed as out. The Ravens have Mark Andrews (quad) listed as questionable and Marlon Humphrey (foot) listed as out. The Ravens' new star wide receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., is expected to make his debut despite being limited in practice on Thursday.

The Bengals vs. Browns game sees Joseph Ossai (ankle) out for the Bengals and Juan Thornhill (calf) listed as questionable for the Browns.

In the Packers vs. Bears game, Christian Watson (hamstring) is out for the Packers, while Romeo Doubs (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Dylan Cole (hamstring) is questionable for the Bears.
