Fantasy Football Injury News
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Jalen Ramsey (knee) to undergo surgery, will miss start of the season
Jalen Ramsey (knee) will undergo surgery on his knee and is expected to miss the start of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Ramsey went down with a knee injury during Miami’s practice on Thursday, and it’s serious enough that he’ll need surgery and will be forced to miss the start of the season. His ACL is reportedly still intact, so while this is a serious issue, it doesn’t sound like it will end his season. We’ll likely get an update on the expected timetable for his return sometime after his surgery, but this news is less than ideal for a Miami team that traded for the star cornerback just a few months ago.

Joe Burrow suffers calf injury, per Zac Taylor
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that Joe Burrow‘s injury that led to him being carted off in practice was a calf injury.
Fantasy Impact
The football world held its collective breath when they saw that Burrow was carted off during training camp. While a calf injury is not ideal, it’s better than plenty of the alternatives. It’s unclear if it’s a strain or sprain or something else, but soft tissue injuries tend to linger throughout an entire season. More news will come out in regard to the exact injury, the extent and the timeline, and then we can assess his potential status for the start of the regular season.

Sports Injury Central Analysis
Carted off at practice with an apparent right calf injury – concerning sign for the Bengals QB as calf injuries tend to linger. Pro Football Docs are not worried about an Achilles tear – his 2020 ACL tear was to the other side.
Garrett Wilson (ankle) exits practice early
Garrett Wilson exited Thursday’s practice early and is being evaluated for an ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson was able to jog off the field towards the team trainers and head coach Robert Saleh believes that Wilson will be fine moving forward. While he may miss a few days of practice with the injury, it does not sound like the ankle injury is anything that would keep the 23-year-old out long term.

Sports Injury Central Analysis
By video, Pro Football Docs asserts Wilson suffered a moderate inversion right ankle sprain in practice on Thursday. He will miss training camp time, but injury is not a concern for the regular season.
