All but two of the NFL’s 32 teams have opened their 2024 campaigns, and the fallout from Week 1 is here.
From a few big injuries that will impact the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Cleveland Browns, and nearly every fantasy league out there, to what’s next with the Tyreek Hill incident in Miami and the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh, it’s sure to be a busy week off the field.
Yahoo Sports has you covered with live updates, news and notes from around the league as the season is now underway.
The 49ers’ star running back will miss the season opener against the Jets on Monday night. A calf strain limited the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year throughout training camp and he sat out of every preseason game last month. McCaffrey initially suffered the calf injury early in training camp. News of McCaffrey being sidelined comes as a surprise after McCaffrey and head coach Kyle Shanahan reassured fans and media repeatedly throughout the preseason that he was on track to be ready to play in Week 1.
Puka Nacua to miss at least 4 games
Rams star wideout Puka Nacua will go on the IR after suffering a sprained PCL on Sunday night against Detroit, Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Monday. Nacua will miss at least four games.
Nacua had four catches for 35 yards before leaving Sunday’s game. He was carted off the sideline after the second quarter and did not return.
Browns’ Njoku ‘week-to-week’
Browns tight end David Njoku is considered “week-to-week,” according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Njoku suffered an ankle injury during Cleveland’s blowout loss to Dallas. He underwent tests Monday and it remains to be seen if he’ll be available for the Browns’ Week 2 game against the Jaguars.
After a calf injury to Russell Wilson late in training camp put Justin Fields in the starting lineup for Week 1, the Steelers head into Week 2 with a question at quarterback after an 18-10 win at Atlanta in which Fields threw for 156 yards.
