Fantasy Football Injury Updates

Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.

Alvin Kamara dealing with back tightness

Fantasy Impact

It doesn’t appear to be anything too serious for Kamara, but it’s still worth monitoring. He is day-to-day for now.

Malik Nabers has ‘no doubt’ he’ll be ready for Week 1
Malik Nabers told reporters he has “no doubt” he’ll be ready for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

Nabers suffered an ankle sprain over the weekend that was considered to be minor. His status will still be worth monitoring over the next couple of weeks, but it appears he was able to avoid anything too serious and should be fully healthy for the start of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon had been sidelined for the past couple of weeks due to a hamstring injury. He still has just under one month to get fully healthy where he is slated to lead the Texans backfield.

J.J. McCarthy torn meniscus, will undergo surgery
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy is expected to undergo knee surgery and will be sidelined indefinitely. He had been experiencing knee soreness over the weekend, and an MRI on Monday confirmed a torn meniscus in his right knee.

Fantasy Impact

The Vikings selected McCarthy out of Michigan with the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Tough blow for the team and their presumptive future franchise quarterback, and it seems QB Sam Darnold may end up starting the entire 2024 season.
