Byron Buxton Absent with Knee Issue

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is uncertain to return to the field for Sunday's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (illness) has been added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
