After a chaotic Week 1, the runaway train that is the NFL barrels into the Week 2 slate. As is often the case, one of the key storylines in any given week is injuries, and Week 2 is no exception. The NFL opening weekend, unfortunately, handed out its fair share of injury news.
Kyler Murray's Vikings debut was cut short due to a concussion he suffered in the first quarter; the Chargers saw standout receiver Ladd McConkey go down in their upset loss to the Cardinals, and Sam Darnold is dealing with a soft tissue injury that forced him out of the opener in the first quarter and will sideline him for Week 2. On top of that, Patriots wideout A.J. Brown (ankle), Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson (knee), and Rams pass rusher Myles Garett (knee) all landed on IR.
Needless to say, there's a lot to catch up on when it comes to injuries and, as most teams hit the practice field for the first time on Wednesday, we'll get some key updates. Below, we'll dive into each team's initial injury report, and we'll provide the final injury report and game statuses for Thursday night's contest between the Lions and Bills.

Panthers pass rusher Patrick Jones II, who missed the season opener with a back issue, sat out of practice on Wednesday, as did defensive tackle Bobby Brown III. Wide receiver Jalen Coker, who caught eight passes for a whopping 138 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, was limited with an ankle injury.
