NFL Players Face Uncertain Week 2 Availability
Anonymous
Key Points
1
The Cowboys removed Porter Jr.’s back injury from the official report this week, listing him only as limited for conditioning and rest on Wednesday; coach Mike McCarthy had said the plan was for him to do more Thursday.
2
Jauan Jennings played a minimal role in San Francisco’s opener, drawing just one target and recording no catches. The report said he could return to practice later in the week but should be avoided in fantasy lineups.
3
Zay Flowers would remain a risky fantasy option if active because of his hamstring injury, though the report said he could still be considered a fantasy starter.
Multiple NFL players face uncertain Week 2 availability due to injuries and illness, with several key contributors sidelined or questionable heading into the weekend. Fantasy Pros reported that Cowboys receiver Porter Jr. did not practice Thursday as expected, making him unlikely to play despite the team removing his back injury from the official report. Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury and remains day-to-day, while Jets receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is week-to-week with an ankle injury and likely out.
Cowboys' Porter Jr. Setback Clouds Week 2 Outlook
Porter Jr.'s availability took a concerning turn when he did not practice Thursday as coach Mike McCarthy had planned. USA Today reported that the Cowboys removed the back injury from the official report, listing him only as limited for conditioning and rest on Wednesday. The shift raises questions about what caused the unexpected setback and whether he can play this weekend.
Ravens and Bills Navigate Multiple Injury Concerns
Baltimore faces depth issues at receiver with Zay Flowers sidelined by a hamstring injury after missing Wednesday's practice. Flowers is listed as day-to-day but would remain a risky fantasy option if active. The Ravens also lost wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane and cornerback T.J. Tampa to wrist and knee injuries, respectively, forcing them to shuffle their lineup.
Buffalo's T.J. Sanders missed the opener with a knee injury and was sent home with an illness after a limited Monday practice, leaving his status questionable. Other Bills players remained limited during the week, though Bradley Chubb and Jordan Hancock were able to practice fully.
Jets and 49ers Face Receiver Absences
Jets receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is week-to-week with an ankle injury and likely to miss this week's game, leaving New York thin at the position. Fantasy Pros noted Cooper Jr.'s absence removes a potential offensive weapon as the team looks to bounce back.
San Francisco's Jauan Jennings missed practice Thursday for a personal reason but could return later in the week, according to Fantasy Pros. Jennings drew just one target and recorded zero catches in the 49ers' opener, so his fantasy relevance remains minimal even if he returns.
Limited Injuries Expected to Have Minimal Impact
Not all injury reports signal major concerns. Panthers receiver Jalen Coker, who was limited by an ankle injury, is expected to play Sunday. Kansas City's Chris Jones, a star defensive lineman, was a limited participant with a calf injury but is unlikely to miss Week 2 action, Fantasy Pros reported.
