It’s only Week 3, but injuries are piling up around the NFL<\/a>. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams<\/a>, Jayden Daniels<\/a> and Jaxson Dart<\/a>\u00a0are all expected to miss this week with injury, meaning a total of six teams could be starting multiple quarterbacks by the third game of the season!<\/p>\n Elsewhere around the league, star wide receivers Zay Flowers<\/a> and Nico Collins<\/a> are dealing with hamstring injuries, Alec Pierce<\/a> was just placed on injured reserve after aggravating his offseason ankle injury, while Jayden Reed’s<\/a> recovery timetable following his Week 2 back injury is not yet established. The Carolina Panthers<\/a> just placed running back Jonathon Brooks<\/a> on injured reserve, while the New Orleans Saints<\/a>\u00a0had to place their standout left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr<\/a>. on IR as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n Below, we will break down the final injury report for Thursday night’s showdown between the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> and Green Bay Packers<\/a>, and examine the midweek injury reports from around the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n Odds courtesy of DraftKings<\/a> Sportsbook<\/p>\n Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers (-4.5)<\/p>\n Ebukam was the lone Falcon ruled out for “Thursday Night Football.” The main headline from Atlanta’s injury report is that quarterback Michael Penix Jr<\/a>. (knee) is set to make his first start of the season after being a full participant in practice all week. Tua Tagovailoa<\/a> will also be active as his backup.<\/p>\n The Packers’ offensive line is in some trouble this week, as they will be without two starters in Bako-Bewele and Banks. On the defensive side of the ball, the veteran Hargrave is listed as questionable with a knee injury and concussion after being a limited participant in practice all week.\u00a0<\/p>\n Los Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills (-7)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks (-7) at Washington Commanders<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Kansas City Chiefs (-11.5) at Miami Dolphins<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n New York Jets at Detroit Lions (-6.5)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Carolina Panthers (-2.5) at Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n Panthers linebacker Claudin Cherelus<\/a> (shoulder), safety Nick Scott<\/a> (rib), linebacker Devin Lloyd<\/a> (calf) and pass rusher Jaelan Phillips<\/a> missed practice on Wednesday while wide receiver Jalen Coker<\/a> was limited with his ankle injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Tennessee Titans at New York Giants (-2.5)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n New England Patriots at Jacksonville Jaguars (-3)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Houston Texans (-2.5) at Indianapolis Colts<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers (-8.5)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Minnesota Vikings (-1.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints (-3)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Dallas Cowboys (Rio de Janeiro)<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Rams (-2.5) at Denver Broncos<\/p>\n Analysis to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart are among the quarterbacks sidelined as we track every practice update…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":903004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[9838,61008,471346,1258,1276,64,63,631,91571,1261,1268,1257,1252,178872,1238,1234,1256,3055,75223,1243,1255,1246,1237,75211,53910,17458,1274,2363,26820,471344,1240,190915,1250,3052,1263,1233,5346,1239,1231,1249,1242,1235,593,150086,28652,1241,140413,1262,1254,85,1247,1253,5379,40521,1272,471345,31890],"class_list":["post-903003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-aaron-banks","tag-alec-pierce","tag-anthony-campbell","tag-arizona-cardinals","tag-atlanta-falcons","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baltimore-ravens","tag-billy-bowman-jr","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-caleb-williams","tag-carolina-panthers","tag-cincinnati-bengals","tag-claudin-cherelus","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-denver-broncos","tag-detroit-lions","tag-devin-lloyd","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-houston-texans","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-jaelan-phillips","tag-jalen-coker","tag-javon-hargrave","tag-jaxson-dart","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-jayden-reed","tag-jonathon-brooks","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kelvin-banks-jr","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-michael-penix-jr","tag-minnesota-vikings","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-new-orleans-saints","tag-new-york-giants","tag-new-york-jets","tag-nfl","tag-nick-scott","tag-nico-collins","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-samson-ebukam","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-sports","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tennessee-titans","tag-tua-tagovailoa","tag-warren-brinson","tag-washington-commanders","tag-zach-bako-bewele","tag-zay-flowers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=903003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/903004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=903003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=903003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=903003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
