Report: Tagovailoa went to ground in 'discomfort'
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa will start Week 1 against the Steelers despite an inconsistent training camp and competition from Michael Penix Jr., who recently returned to 11-on-11 practice after a knee injury. Both quarterbacks may see starts this season, with rookie Jack Stand also a potential contributor.
- Bills RB Ty Johnson remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, likely missing the season opener against the Texans, which could lead to James Cook taking on a larger role in the passing game.
- Giants WR Malik Nabers is on track to play in Week 1 against the Cowboys after practicing fully, though the team may limit his snaps initially as he recovers from a knee injury.
- Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love and Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty are both expected to play in Week 1 despite recent injuries, with Love anticipated to serve as at least a FLEX option and Jeanty projected as a fantasy RB1.
- Tight end Brock Bowers faces uncertainty regarding his return timeline and effectiveness due to ongoing knee issues, with Michael Mayer expected to start in his place; meanwhile, Alvin Kamara is progressing well from an MCL injury and is likely to play Week 1 as a passing-down specialist.
