Jason Verrett Feared To Have Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he thinks cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions.

Marshon Lattimore Is Active For Season Opener

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) is active for the Week 1 season opener against the Green Bay Packers.

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) will be inactive in the Week 1 season opener against the New York Giants.

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson is a healthy scratch for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Eno Benjamin Inactive In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin is a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans.

The Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Taylor Decker Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed star left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he had finger surgery, according to a source.

Brandon McManus Is A Low-End Kicking Option

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't miss a single kick in the preseason and led the NFL with 10 field goals of 50-plus yards in 2020. Regardless, McManus isn't widely considered a viable weekly starting kicker to open the 2021 campaign. Why is that? He has one of the strongest legs in the league and […]

Noah Fant Off The Final Injury Report

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (knee) was able to practice in full on Thursday and Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 1 against the New York Giants this Sunday.

Steady Volume Will Be An Issue For KJ Hamler

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler will be available in Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Giants despite sitting out the preseason finale with a non-COVID-19-related illness.
