The NFL has one week under its belt and we already have a host of significant injury questions heading into Week 2. We’ll be tracking all the notable injuries as fantasy football managers prepare their lineups for Sunday’s slate.
The biggest names on the final injury reports heading into Sunday are Saints tight end Alvin Kamara, 49ers tight end George Kittle, and Ravens running back JK Dobbins. Kamara was limited on Wednesday and then a DNP on Thursday and Friday while Kittle was a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday and then limited on Friday. Dobbins is the most likely of that group to play after three straight full practices.
We’ll drop in updates as they come along until we get official final inactives at 11:30 a.m. ET and then again before the 4 p.m. games.
Alvin Kamara Game Update:
Saints’ RB Alvin Kamara now is officially inactive today vs. the Bucs due to his rib injury. Team does not believe Kamara’s ribs will be a multi-week injury.

George Kittle:

D’Andre Swift:
#Lions RB D’Andre Swift (ankle) is expected to play today against the #Commanders, but the team may have to be selective about his usage, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. As long as Swift wakes up feeling good, the plan is to give it a go.

J.K. Dobbins:
Despite practicing fully this week, it's no sure thing that RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) plays today, sources say. He's pushing to go, but the team will make sure he's ready before he plays. It appears unlikely. Meanwhile, CB Marlon Humphrey (groin) should play, despite not being 100%.

Julio Jones, Russell Gage and Leonard Fournette:
#Bucs WR Julio Jones, who landed on his knee last week, is a true game-time decision, source says. The hope is he can go, but it all depends on how he warms up. Meanwhile, WR Russell Gage (hamstring), RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and OT Tristan Wirfs (abdomen) should go.
