After a chaotic Week 1, the runaway train that is the NFL<\/a>\u00a0barrels into the Week 2 slate. As is often the case, one of the key storylines in any given week is injuries, and Week 2 is no exception.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NFL opening weekend, unfortunately, handed out its fair share of injury news. Kyler Murray’s<\/a> Vikings<\/a> debut was cut short due to a concussion he suffered in the first quarter; the Chargers<\/a> saw standout receiver Ladd McConkey<\/a> go down in their upset loss to the Cardinals<\/a>, and Sam Darnold<\/a> is dealing with a soft tissue injury that forced him out of the opener in the first quarter and will sideline him for Week 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On top of that, Patriots<\/a> wideout A.J. Brown<\/a> (ankle), Eagles<\/a> left guard Landon Dickerson<\/a> (knee), and Rams<\/a> pass rusher Myles Garett (knee) all landed on IR.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Needless to say, there’s a lot to catch up on when it comes to injuries and, as most teams hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday, we’ll get some key updates. Below, we’ll dive into each team’s initial injury report, and we’ll provide the final injury report and game statuses for Thursday night’s contest between the Lions<\/a> and Bills<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detroit Lions at Buffalo BillsThursday, 8:15 p.m. (Stream: Amazon)<\/p>\n

Lions game statuses: OG Christian Mahogany<\/a> (hip), OT Blake Miller<\/a> (knee) OUT; CB D.J. Reed<\/a> (foot) QUESTIONABLE
Bills game statuses: S Cole Bishop<\/a> (knee\/groin), RB TY Johnson<\/a> (hamstring), DL T.J. Sanders<\/a> (knee\/illness) QUESTIONABLE<\/p>\n

The Lions’ injury report for “Thursday Night Football” is worrisome, as starting right tackle Blake Miller (knee) and starting left guard Christian Mahogany (hip) have officially been ruled out. Plus, veteran defensive back D.J. Reed is questionable with a foot injury after being a limited participant in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Bills safety Cole Bishop (knee\/groin), running back Ty Johnson (hamstring) and defensive lineman T.J. Sanders (knee\/illness) are all questionable to play on Thursday. All three were limited participants in practice Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta FalconsSunday, 1 p.m. (Fox, Stream:\u00a0Fubo<\/a>, try for free)<\/p>\n

Panthers<\/a> pass rusher Patrick Jones II<\/a>, who missed the season opener with a back issue, sat out of practice on Wednesday, as did defensive tackle Bobby Brown III<\/a>. Wide receiver Jalen Coker<\/a>, who caught eight passes for a whopping 138 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, was limited with an ankle injury. He was seen in a walking boot earlier this week but is aiming to play on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Down in Atlanta, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> (oblique), cornerback A.J. Terrell<\/a> (shoulder) and offensive guard Chris Lindstrom<\/a> (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Quarterbacks Cooper Rush<\/a> (back) and Michael Penix Jr<\/a>. (knee) were full participants. Could Penix return on Sunday?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago BearsSunday, 1 p.m. (Fox, Stream:\u00a0Fubo<\/a>, try for free)<\/p>\n

Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings<\/a> (personal) was the only player to miss practice Wednesday.

For the Patriots, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover<\/a> (knee) and cornerback Carlton Davis<\/a> III (neck) missed practice on Wednesday. Center Ben Brown<\/a> (knee), defensive end Dre’Mont Jones<\/a> (foot) and linebacker Robert Spillane<\/a> (knee) were limited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
