NFL Week 3 Injury Roundup 2024: Big Names and Unexpected Hits

Injuries pose a significant challenge in fantasy football during ... Read More
Injuries are a significant concern in fantasy football, especially during Week 3. To effectively manage your roster, stay updated on the latest injuries for each NFL squad. This article provides a full injury report for each squad, updated with practice and game status as teams provide new information. It's essential to check back regularly to see who's in and out for each game.

Running Backs

Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Pacheco, Joe Mixon, Rachaad White, Tyjae Spears, and Tank Bigsby all are dealing with injuries; therefore, they are on injured reserve. McCaffrey is dealing with a calf/Achilles situation, Pacheco is working with a fractured fibula, Mixon suffered an ankle from a hip-drop tackle, White is nursing a groin issue but this isn't major, and Spears as well as Bigsby are both being handled with extreme care. Spears is "day-to-day," and Bigsby's shoulder injury will be watched throughout the week. Fantasy managers should seek replacements for McCaffrey, Pacheco, Mixon, White, Spears, and Bigsby.

Quarterbacks

Chargers' Justin Herbert will undergo an MRI in his leg following Week 2; the results were negative, said Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. Packers' Jordan Love will start in Week 3, and this move could affect fantasy owners since Love is due to return.

Wide Receivers

Cooper Kupp could be out several weeks with his walking boot injury, and Sean McVay can throw him onto injured reserve. Justin Jefferson has just a quad, and Amon-Ra St. Brown's leg is a soft-tissue deal. A.J. Brown's hamstring is iffy, and with that short week looming, it becomes a multi-week concern. Gabe Davis' shoulder issue in Week 2 doesn't seem too bad.

Tight Ends

Evan Engram's hamstring injury is listed as week-to-week, while Taysom Hill's chest injury is minor. Jake Ferguson's knee injury is monitored, but expected to return in Week 3.
