Week 1 Injuries (AND SPIN!!!!!!!)
Travis Kelce (Knee) — Not a torn ACL. No timetable on return. Not officially out as of Wednesday night. Prob not gonna play.
Kadarius Toney (knee) — Removed from Injury Report and Playing on TNF. Still may be limited, but his snaps are always kind of limited. Shouldn’t affect his touches.
Joe Burrow (Calf) — Playing. Don’t expect him to rush for 200 yards.
Cooper Kupp (Hamstring) — OUT for Week 1, and there’s the potential he could land on IR. Eleanor Higbee and Van Jefferson likely to see the bump in targets, but I’m just holding out hope it’s my guy PUKA.
Jerry Jeudy (Hamstring) — Like Kupp, will probably miss Week 1 and maybe even more games after until fully healthy. (Brandon Johnson in the mix too, I suppose). Maybe more 2 TE sets?
Christian Watson (Hamstring) — Popping up mid week with a hammy injury is a terrible sign. Plan on Watson sitting Week 1 unless the reports are off.
Romeo Doubs (Hamstring) — Farther along than Jeudy, so he has a chance to play Week 1 but like all hamstrings, since it’s not healthy, he opens himself up for reaggravation then missing extended time. With him and Watson banged up, the rooks looking like volume hogs — Jayden Reed & Luke Musgrave. That, or lotsa running vs a terrible Bears Run D.
