Add to that suspended wideouts will also be missing in action – DeAndre Hopkins of the Cardinals (PED) and Calvin Ridley (gambling) of the Falcons. Hopkins was issued a four-game sit-down. Ridley is under suspension for the season.

Tight ends George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, Zach Ertz of the Cardinals and Landon Thomas of the Washington Commanders are also questionable. The Commanders are reporting that Thomas is expected to play.

Two starting quarterbacks will also be out for Week 1 games. Zach Wilson of the New York Jets is out with a knee injury. Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Brown is under NFL suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

Let’s take a look at the prominent names on the Week 1 injury report and how it’s impacting the NFL odds.

NFL Week 1 Injury Report

Week 1 NFL Inactives

The Ravens are reporting that RB JK Dobbins (knee) is out. He missed all of last season with that knee issue. Baltimore is a 6.5-point road favorite at the Jets, where they’ll be facing Joe Flacco, one of two QBs to lead the Ravens to the Super Bowl. CB Marcus Peters (knee) is also inactive for the Ravens.

In Arizona, the Cardinals are confirming that Ertz will play, but DE and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt is inactive. At home, Arizona is a 6-point underdog to Kansas City.

The news is not good for Kittle. He’s sitting out out Week 1. On the other hand, wideouts Thomas of the Saints, Godwin of the Buccaneers, Meyers of the Patriots and London of the Falcons are good to go. That’s certainly big news in the case of Thomas. He led the NFL in receptions in 2018 (125) and 2019 (149) but injuries have limited him to seven games since. He hasn’t played a game since Dec. 13, 2020. New Orleans is a 5.5-point favorite at Atlanta.

Packers WR Lazard is out. As well, LT David Bakhtiari, the man who has QB Aaron Rodgers’ back, is expected to miss the first two games of the season. If that’s the case, it’ll mean he’s played just one of Green Bay’s last 24 games. Packers RT Elgton Jenkins (pectoral) is also out. Thus, the Packers will be without both starting tackles. Regardless, Green Bay is a 1.5-point favorite at Minnesota.
