This report covers the most recent, betting-relevant injuries and major personnel developments across college football. Players already cleared without a meaningful role change have been excluded.

1. ALABAMA

OL Michael Carroll — Undisclosed — The starting guard missed the Kentucky game. Kalen DeBoer said Carroll is progressing toward a return, but his availability against Florida State will depend on practice.

RB AK Dear — Lower body — Dear returned to limited work last week. His status remains uncertain.

WR Noah Rogers — Lower body — Rogers traveled to Kentucky but did not play. Alabama previously indicated his return could still be one or two weeks away.

BETTING IMPACT: Carroll is the most important name because of his effect on pass protection and the running game. Dear and Rogers primarily affect Alabama’s skill-position rotation and player props.

2. BAYLOR

QB DJ Lagway — Ankle — Lagway missed the Prairie View A&M game. Dave Aranda said he felt good Sunday and was expected to resume work this week, but Baylor is still evaluating him before Saturday’s game against Louisiana Tech.

DT Devonte Tezino — Leg — Tezino suffered a severe injury against Prairie View A&M and will miss the remainder of the season.

BETTING IMPACT: Lagway is the primary situation to monitor. Nate Bennett played well in his absence, but Lagway’s availability changes Baylor’s offensive ceiling and quarterback props. Tezino’s loss weakens the defensive-line rotation.

3. FLORIDA

WR Eric Singleton Jr. — Ankle — Singleton missed Florida’s last game and was still limited when the Gators returned to practice. His status against Auburn remains uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT: Singleton is one of Florida’s most explosive receiving options. His absence would reduce the vertical passing threat and could shift targets toward the remaining receivers.

4. LOUISVILLE

RB Keyjuan Brown — Undisclosed — Brown was injured against Villanova and finished with only one carry. Jeff Brohm said he is hopeful Brown will be available against SMU, but his status has not been confirmed.

BETTING IMPACT: Brown’s availability affects Louisville’s backfield rotation and rushing props. The Cardinals have alternatives, so this is more important for player usage than the full-game spread.

5. NOTRE DAME

DL Jason Onye — Ankle — Onye has been ruled out against Michigan State and is expected to miss additional time.

S Brauntae Johnson — Foot — Johnson has also been ruled out against Michigan State and is expected to remain sidelined for multiple weeks.

BETTING IMPACT: Notre Dame loses depth at two levels of its defense. Onye’s absence matters against the run, while Johnson’s absence reduces flexibility in the secondary.

6. OREGON

TE Jamari Johnson — Undisclosed — Johnson missed the Oklahoma State game after being injured in the opener. Oregon has not provided a firm return date.

BETTING IMPACT: This primarily affects Oregon’s tight-end rotation, blocking packages and secondary receiving options. It is not currently a major point-spread adjustment.

7. SOUTH CAROLINA

EDGE Dylan Stewart — Back — Stewart has not played this season. Shane Beamer said he is moving in the right direction, but his status against Mississippi State remains uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT: Stewart is one of the most impactful defensive players on this list. His return would significantly improve South Carolina’s pass rush. No adjustment should be made until his availability is confirmed.

8. TENNESSEE

TE Ethan Davis — Knee — Davis suffered a torn ACL against Georgia Tech and will miss the remainder of the season.

BETTING IMPACT: Tennessee loses an experienced starting tight end who contributed as both a receiver and blocker. The injury affects red-zone personnel and the offense’s flexibility more than the overall point spread.

9. TEXAS

TE Nick Townsend — Knee — Townsend left the Ohio State game and did not return. Texas is continuing to evaluate the injury, with no timetable announced.

DL Justus Terry — Foot — Terry suffered an injury during pregame warmups and was unable to play against Ohio State. His return date remains uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT: Townsend’s absence would change the tight-end rotation. Terry is the more important full-game injury because of his role along the defensive front, particularly against the run.

10. TULSA

QB Baylor Hayes — Knee — Hayes has been ruled out against East Texas A&M with a knee sprain. Veteran Dexter Williams II will start, and Hayes is expected to return against Arkansas.

BETTING IMPACT: Tulsa is making a confirmed quarterback change. Williams has starting experience, but Hayes’ absence lowers the offense’s continuity and should be considered in first-half and team-total markets.

11. UCF

QB Alonza Barnett III — Hamstring — Barnett suffered what Scott Frost described as a significant hamstring injury against Pittsburgh. His timetable remains uncertain, and UCF has not named its starter against Georgia State.

BETTING IMPACT: This is one of the week’s most important quarterback situations. Keyone Jenkins has extensive starting experience, but Barnett’s absence would remove a major rushing threat and alter UCF’s offensive approach.

12. VANDERBILT

QB Jared Curtis — Starting quarterback change — The five-star freshman is expected to make his first career start Saturday against NC State. This is a performance-based change rather than an injury replacement.

BETTING IMPACT: Curtis adds greater upside and playmaking potential, but his first collegiate start also introduces uncertainty. The change matters for Vanderbilt’s team total, quarterback props and overall offensive projection.

1. ATLANTA FALCONS

QB Tua Tagovailoa — Oblique — Remains week-to-week. The Falcons’ revised media schedule now lists Cooper Rush for Wednesday’s quarterback press conference, strengthening the possibility that Rush starts again.

BETTING IMPACT: Continue projecting Atlanta’s offense with Rush until Tagovailoa practices or the team announces a change.

2. BALTIMORE RAVENS

WR Zay Flowers — Hamstring — Considered day-to-day. Baltimore feels reasonably good about the injury, but his Week 2 availability has not been confirmed. The Ravens must also prevent the recurring hamstring problem from lingering.

WR Ja’Kobi Lane — Wrist — Reportedly suffered a fractured wrist and is expected to miss several weeks. Injured reserve remains possible.

WR Devontez Walker — Groin — Missed the opener and has not yet been cleared for Week 2.

BETTING IMPACT: Baltimore is considering adding a veteran receiver. Rashod Bateman would become the primary wideout if Flowers cannot play, with Chris Moore, LaJohntay Wester and possibly Walker moving into larger roles.

3. CLEVELAND BROWNS

RB Dylan Sampson — Knee — Placed on injured reserve and will miss at least four games.

BETTING IMPACT: Quinshon Judkins remains the starter. Raheim Sanders moves into the primary backup role, making this more of a backfield-depth and secondary-usage change than a major spread adjustment.

4. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

CB Mansoor Delane — Shoulder — Left Monday night’s game and did not return. Additional testing is pending.

LB Cooper McDonald — Knee — Left Monday night’s game and did not return. The Chiefs have not provided a firm diagnosis.

BETTING IMPACT: Both defensive situations require monitoring when Kansas City begins Week 2 practice. Delane’s status is especially important for the secondary.

5. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

WR Ladd McConkey — Ribs — Undergoing additional testing and considered day-to-day after leaving the opener.

BETTING IMPACT: McConkey is one of the Chargers’ primary receiving options. His absence would increase opportunities for the remaining wide receivers and tight ends.

6. LOS ANGELES RAMS

EDGE Myles Garrett — Knee — Underwent surgery and will miss at least four games on injured reserve. No firm return date has been established.

BETTING IMPACT: Major downgrade to the Rams’ pass rush. Garrett’s absence becomes even more important while Aaron Donald’s availability remains uncertain.

7. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

QB Kyler Murray — Concussion — Remains in the concussion protocol after leaving the season opener. His Week 2 status is uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT: Carson Wentz would start if Murray is not cleared. Minnesota requires separate offensive projections for Murray and Wentz until the quarterback situation is resolved.

8. NEW YORK JETS

WR Omar Cooper Jr. — Ankle — Considered week-to-week with an ankle sprain. He is not currently expected to go on injured reserve.

S Minkah Fitzpatrick — Groin — Expected to miss approximately two to three weeks.

BETTING IMPACT: Garrett Wilson and the remaining Jets receivers should absorb additional opportunities. Fitzpatrick’s absence is a meaningful downgrade to the middle of the secondary.

9. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

LG Landon Dickerson — Knee — Placed on injured reserve and will miss at least four games. Drew Kendall is the leading replacement candidate.

BETTING IMPACT: Meaningful downgrade to Philadelphia’s interior protection and run blocking, affecting both the rushing projections and opposing pressure expectations.

10. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

QB Sam Darnold — Glute/Soft Tissue — Ruled out for Week 2 against Arizona. The injury is expected to be short-term, but no return date has been established.

BETTING IMPACT: Drew Lock is expected to start. Downgrade Seattle’s passing projections and reevaluate the receiving props under Lock.

WEATHER GAMES TO WATCH

WHITE SOX AT GUARDIANS

81 degrees and dry. Wind blowing out at 13–14 mph. This is the strongest wind-related hitting boost on the slate.

DODGERS AT REDS

Around 91 degrees at first pitch with no rain expected. Light wind blowing in around 5 mph. The heat favors offense, but the wind is not strong enough to create a major adjustment.

BRAVES AT CUBS

Mid-to-upper 70s with a 30–50% chance of scattered showers. Crosswind from left to right around 5–7 mph. Some delay risk, but a postponement is not currently expected.

GIANTS AT CARDINALS

Upper 80s with high humidity and a 25–50% chance of scattered showers. Crosswind from right to left around 6–9 mph. Warm, humid conditions favor offense, but rain should be monitored.

PADRES AT ROCKIES

Around 71 degrees with a 10–18% rain chance. Crosswind from right to left around 7–10 mph. No major delay concern at this time.

MARINERS AT ANGELS

Low-to-mid 70s and dry. Wind blowing out around 8–9 mph. Slight offensive boost.

OTHER GAMES

BREWERS AT PIRATES

Around 80 degrees and clear. Wind blowing in around 5–6 mph.

PHILLIES AT NATIONALS

Mid-to-upper 70s and dry. Light wind around 5–7 mph.

ORIOLES AT METS

Upper 60s and clear. Crosswind from right to left around 6–8 mph.

YANKEES AT TWINS

Upper 60s and dry. Light wind around 5–9 mph.

ATHLETICS AT RAYS (INDOORS)

TIGERS AT BLUE JAYS (INDOORS)

RED SOX AT RANGERS (INDOORS)

ROYALS AT ASTROS (INDOORS)

MARLINS AT DIAMONDBACKS (INDOORS)

CINCINNATI REDS

Matt McLain — 2B — Shoulder

CURRENT STATUS: McLain remains out of the lineup for tonight’s game against the Dodgers.

BETTING IMPACT: Cincinnati remains without an important right-handed bat near the top of its order. The absence weakens the Reds’ offensive projection against left-handed pitching.

HOUSTON ASTROS

Carlos Correa — INF — Ankle

CURRENT STATUS: Correa continues working toward a late-September return. Houston is considering using him at second base when he is activated.

BETTING IMPACT: No immediate adjustment is required, but his return would strengthen Houston’s infield and deepen the middle of the batting order during the playoff race.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS

Shohei Ohtani — DH — Right biceps and left knee

CURRENT STATUS: Ohtani remains on the injured list but could resume swinging as early as today or Tuesday.

BETTING IMPACT: The Dodgers remain without their most dangerous bat. Top prospect Josue De Paula should continue receiving regular opportunities while Ohtani is unavailable.

Kris Bubic — SP — Shoulder

CURRENT STATUS: Bubic joined the Dodgers in Cincinnati but was not activated today. He has thrown 5⅔ scoreless innings with a strong strikeout rate during his rehabilitation assignment.

BETTING IMPACT: His return would reinforce an injury-depleted pitching staff, but he should not be included in projections until Los Angeles confirms an activation date.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Esmerlyn Valdez — OF — Hamstring

CURRENT STATUS: Valdez was placed on the 10-day injured list after injuring his hamstring while running to first base. With two weeks remaining, his season could be finished.

BETTING IMPACT: Pittsburgh loses a legitimate power threat who produced 17 home runs in 72 games. Ronny Simon was recalled and should absorb some of the available outfield work.

SAN DIEGO PADRES

Ty France — 1B — Paternity list

CURRENT STATUS: France was activated today and is available to return to the lineup.

BETTING IMPACT: San Diego regains a productive right-handed bat for the playoff race. France is hitting .294 with 20 home runs and 63 RBIs this season.

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Rafael Devers — 1B/DH — Core muscle

CURRENT STATUS: Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, officially ending his season. He is undergoing additional evaluation and may require surgery.

BETTING IMPACT: This is a significant offensive loss. Devers had been San Francisco’s hottest hitter and leaves the Giants without their primary power threat.

Logan Webb — SP — Workload

CURRENT STATUS: San Francisco is considering shutting Webb down for the remainder of the season. Webb said he is not fatigued and wants to continue pitching, but the team has not committed to another start.

BETTING IMPACT: Do not assume Webb makes his next scheduled start until the Giants confirm it. His removal would create a substantial downgrade to San Francisco’s starting-pitching projection.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

JJ Wetherholt — INF — Wrist

CURRENT STATUS: Wetherholt is scheduled to hit against a pitching machine today and complete a full pregame workout Tuesday.

BETTING IMPACT: He is moving closer to a return, but St. Louis has not confirmed an activation date. No lineup adjustment should be made yet.

Blaze Jordan — 3B — Ankle

CURRENT STATUS: Jordan has progressed to jogging and fielding ground balls but remains on the injured list.

BETTING IMPACT: The progress is encouraging, although he is still expected to miss additional time.

TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Rudy Martin Jr. — OF — Left hamstring

CURRENT STATUS: Toronto placed Martin on the 10-day injured list today, retroactive to September 13. Davis Schneider was recalled as part of the roster adjustment.

BETTING IMPACT: This primarily affects Toronto’s outfield depth. Schneider becomes an additional right-handed option for the lineup.

Monday produced more diagnoses and coach updates than full practice reports. Most teams that played Sunday held recovery sessions, making Wednesday’s participation reports the next major checkpoint.

ATLANTA FALCONS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand will miss the remainder of the season with a quad injury that requires surgery. Starting right guard Chris Lindstrom entered concussion protocol. Atlanta did not provide a new update on quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr.

BETTING IMPACT: The unresolved quarterback situation remains Atlanta’s biggest concern. Lindstrom’s availability also matters for both pass protection and the running game.

BALTIMORE RAVENS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Wide receiver Zay Flowers is considered day-to-day with a hamstring injury. Initial testing reportedly showed no major damage. Rookie receiver Ja’Kobi Lane could miss additional time with a wrist injury.

BETTING IMPACT: Flowers is the player to monitor. Any limitation would increase the opportunities available to Rashod Bateman and Baltimore’s other receivers.

CAROLINA PANTHERS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Wide receiver Jalen Coker was in a walking boot Monday after suffering an ankle injury. No timetable has been established.

BETTING IMPACT: Coker’s potential absence would open additional snaps and targets for Xavier Legette and the rest of Carolina’s receiving rotation.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Running back Dylan Sampson is still being evaluated for a knee injury. Starting left guard Zion Johnson received encouraging initial news after returning to Sunday’s game, but his Week 2 status remains uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT: Johnson is the more important piece for Cleveland’s offense. His availability affects the Browns’ protection and projected rushing efficiency.

DALLAS COWBOYS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Starting safety Malik Hooker sustained a fractured forearm and will receive a specialist’s evaluation. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown suffered a hamstring strain and is expected to miss time.

BETTING IMPACT: Dallas could be without two defensive starters in Week 2, weakening the middle and back end of the defense.

DETROIT LIONS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Running back Isiah Pacheco underwent back surgery and is expected to miss significant time.

BETTING IMPACT: Jahmyr Gibbs should control an even larger percentage of Detroit’s backfield work, while Sione Vaki becomes more important to the remaining rotation.

HOUSTON TEXANS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Starting linebacker Henry To’oTo’o is expected to miss time with a shoulder injury. The team has not decided whether he will be placed on injured reserve. Linebacker Jake Hummel is week-to-week with a groin injury.

BETTING IMPACT: Houston’s linebacker depth has taken a significant hit. Jake Hansen is the likely replacement for To’oTo’o, creating a potential downgrade against the run and in underneath coverage.

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Tight end Brock Bowers and cornerback Darien Porter were both categorized as day-to-day.

BETTING IMPACT: Bowers is the key name. Michael Mayer would continue to handle an expanded receiving role if Bowers cannot return this week.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Wide receiver Ladd McConkey underwent testing on his injured ribs and is considered day-to-day. The team did not offer a prediction on his Week 2 availability.

BETTING IMPACT: McConkey’s practice participation will directly affect the Chargers’ receiving projections and individual player-prop markets.

LOS ANGELES RAMS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Edge rusher Myles Garrett underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and was placed on injured reserve. He will miss at least four games, and the Rams have not established a firm return date.

BETTING IMPACT: Losing Garrett creates a major downgrade for the Rams’ pass rush and overall defensive rating.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Quarterback Kyler Murray remains in concussion protocol following Sunday’s game. His availability will be determined by his progress through the league’s required steps.

BETTING IMPACT: This is one of the week’s biggest quarterback situations. Carson Wentz is next in line if Murray is not cleared, making Minnesota’s practice reports critical to the Week 2 line.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Wide receiver A.J. Brown was placed on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Running back TreVeyon Henderson returned to practice Monday for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in August.

BETTING IMPACT: Brown’s absence redistributes targets throughout New England’s receiving corps. Henderson’s return could change the backfield workload if he progresses enough to play.

NEW YORK JETS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick suffered a groin strain, while rookie receiver Omar Cooper Jr. sustained an ankle injury. Initial X-rays on Cooper were negative, but a high-ankle sprain remains a concern.

BETTING IMPACT: Fitzpatrick’s availability matters most to the Jets’ defensive projection. Cooper’s absence would reduce an already thin receiving rotation.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

WHAT WAS REPORTED: Starting rookie receiver De’Zhaun Stribling sustained a deltoid ankle sprain and is expected to miss at least one month.

BETTING IMPACT: San Francisco’s receiving depth is already being tested. Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and the remaining receivers should see additional opportunities while Stribling is sidelined.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL MAJOR INJURY REPORT

This report covers the significant active injuries most likely to affect Week 3 sides, totals, team totals and player props.

BAYLOR

DJ Lagway — Quarterback — MONITOR

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Lagway suffered a high-ankle sprain in Baylor’s opener and missed Saturday’s game against Prairie View A&M. He is targeting a return against Louisiana Tech, but he has not been cleared.

BETTING IMPACT

Lagway’s mobility is a major part of Baylor’s offense. Even if he returns, a limited ankle could reduce designed quarterback runs, scrambling and Baylor’s ability to create explosive plays. Nate Bennett would start again if Lagway remains out.

BOSTON COLLEGE

Bodie Kahoun — Linebacker — MONITOR

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Kahoun was taken off on a stretcher and transported to a hospital after suffering a serious injury against Rutgers. Boston College confirmed that he had movement in all extremities. No football timetable has been announced.

BETTING IMPACT

Kahoun is a major part of the Boston College defense. He should be treated as unavailable until the school provides a further medical update.

CLEMSON

Christopher Vizzina — Quarterback — OUT

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Vizzina injured his non-throwing elbow against Georgia Southern and is expected to miss one to two weeks. Freshman Tait Reynolds will start against North Carolina.

BETTING IMPACT

This is a confirmed quarterback change. Reynolds has received playing time, but Clemson loses continuity and experience in the passing game.

INDIANA

Nick Marsh — Wide Receiver — MONITOR

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Marsh dressed against Howard but was not used during Indiana’s opening offensive possessions. His undisclosed injury and Week 3 availability remain unresolved.

BETTING IMPACT

Marsh is one of Indiana’s top receiving options. His practice participation will be important for passing projections and receiver props against Western Kentucky.

JAMES MADISON

JC Evans — Quarterback — OUT

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Evans is expected to miss several weeks with a wrist injury. Camden Coleman has taken over as the starting quarterback.

BETTING IMPACT

James Madison now takes its backup quarterback into a road game at San Diego State. This is a meaningful adjustment against a much stronger opponent than Wagner.

MINNESOTA

Darius Taylor — Running Back — MONITOR

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Taylor left the loss to Mississippi State after playing only 16 snaps. Head coach P.J. Fleck called him day-to-day.

BETTING IMPACT

Minnesota faces Akron, so the injury may not create a major side adjustment. It is important for Taylor’s rushing and receiving props and for the entire Minnesota backfield rotation.

NOTRE DAME

Brauntae Johnson — Safety — OUT
Jason Onye — Defensive Tackle — OUT

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Both defensive starters are expected to miss multiple weeks. Notre Dame expects them back this season, but neither is expected to play this week.

BETTING IMPACT

Johnson’s absence affects the secondary while Onye’s absence weakens the interior defensive rotation. Michigan State’s offensive matchup improves if both remain unavailable as expected.

RUTGERS

Dylan Lonergan — Quarterback — MONITOR

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Lonergan has been dealing with an undisclosed injury and was unable to practice before the Boston College game. AJ Surace replaced him as the starter. Lonergan’s status against USC remains uncertain.

BETTING IMPACT

Rutgers has an unresolved quarterback situation entering a major step up in competition. Surace may retain the job regardless, but practice reports should determine whether Lonergan is healthy enough to compete.

UCF

Alonza Barnett III — Quarterback — OUT

WHAT WAS REPORTED

Barnett suffered a hamstring injury late in UCF’s loss to Pittsburgh and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Keyone Jenkins is expected to start against Georgia State.

BETTING IMPACT

This is the largest confirmed quarterback injury adjustment currently available. UCF loses Barnett’s experience and mobility, affecting the full-game line, team total, passing projections and rushing distribution.

MAIN TAKEAWAY

The confirmed quarterback changes at UCF, Clemson and James Madison are the biggest immediate market adjustments.

DJ Lagway is the most important possible return to monitor. Darius Taylor and Nick Marsh are the leading skill-position workload concerns entering the practice week.

DENVER BRONCOS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Kickoff: 5:15 PM PT at Arrowhead Stadium

Conditions — Mostly clear with a kickoff temperature around 88 degrees. It will feel closer to 92 because of the humidity. No meaningful rain threat.

Wind — Sustained south wind around 14–18 mph with possible gusts of 25–30 mph, blowing from the south end of the stadium toward the north end zone.

BETTING IMPACT

The wind is the only meaningful weather concern. Because it is blowing primarily from one end zone toward the other, quarterbacks and kickers will have a noticeable advantage going one direction and will be working into the wind going the other way.

The sustained wind is manageable, but the stronger gusts could affect deeper passes, punts and long field-goal attempts. The warm weather should otherwise be favorable for offense, with no rain or cold conditions affecting the game.

MAIN TAKEAWAY

No delay concern and no reason to downgrade the entire offense. Monitor the wind for passing, kicking and long-field-goal props, especially if the gusts remain near 25–30 mph during warmups.

WEATHER CONCERNS

Yankees at Twins — Rain is expected around first pitch with winds of 15–18 mph crossing from right to left. Significant delay or postponement risk.

Padres at Rockies — Warm conditions with thunderstorms possible around game time. Wind 7–8 mph, primarily blowing in from center. Monitor closer to first pitch.

BEST HITTING WEATHER

Braves at Cubs — Mostly cloudy and around 72 degrees. Wind 14–16 mph blowing out toward left field. Strongest offensive weather on the slate.

Giants at Cardinals — Clear and warm, around 86 degrees. Wind 12 mph crossing from right to left. The warm air should help the ball carry.

Mariners at Angels — Clear and around 76 degrees. Wind 8–9 mph blowing out toward left field. Slight boost for power.

OTHER GAMES

Dodgers at Reds — Partly cloudy and around 75 degrees. Wind 6 mph crossing from left to right with a slight movement in from left. No rain concern.

White Sox at Guardians — Clear and around 66 degrees. Wind 6 mph crossing from right to left. No meaningful weather impact.

Orioles at Mets — Clear and around 70 degrees. Wind 9–11 mph blowing in from left-center. Slight downgrade for home-run power.

Tigers at Blue Jays — (indoors)

Marlins at Diamondbacks — (indoors)

MAIN TAKEAWAY

Yankees–Twins carries the slate’s biggest delay risk. The strongest offensive weather angle is the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field.

CHARGERS

Ladd McConkey — Left Sunday’s game with a chest injury after recording five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. Testing and his Week 2 status remain pending.

COWBOYS

DeMarvion Overshown — Exited Sunday night with a hamstring injury. Further evaluation will determine his Week 2 availability.

Malik Hooker — Left Sunday night’s game with a forearm injury and did not return. Additional testing is pending.

FALCONS

Chris Lindstrom — Left Atlanta’s opener with a concussion and has entered the league’s concussion protocol.

49ERS

De’Zhaun Stribling — Suffered an ankle sprain and is expected to miss at least one month. Surgery remains possible.

JETS

Minkah Fitzpatrick — Exited after only six defensive snaps with a strained left groin. His Week 2 status remains uncertain.

Omar Cooper Jr. — Believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain. X-rays were negative, but the injury could result in a multiweek absence.

PATRIOTS

A.J. Brown — Placed on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain. Brown is expected to miss approximately four to six weeks.

RAMS

Myles Garrett — Expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and be placed on injured reserve. Garrett is expected to miss at least four games.

RAVENS

Ja’Kobi Lane — Suffered a fractured wrist and is expected to miss several weeks. Additional testing will determine his complete recovery timetable.

Zay Flowers — Aggravated the same left hamstring that bothered him during training camp. Baltimore has not provided a timetable for his return.

SAINTS

Alvin Kamara — Missed Week 1 while recovering from an MCL sprain. New Orleans has not established a firm return date.

SEAHAWKS

Sam Darnold — Dealing with a right-hip injury. His MRI showed no structural damage, but he is expected to miss Week 2, putting Drew Lock in line to start.

VIKINGS

Kyler Murray — Suffered a concussion during Minnesota’s opener and is now in the league’s concussion protocol. His Week 2 availability is uncertain.
