NFL teams evaluate injury statuses for running backs ahead of Week 1

The 2026 NFL season begins Wednesday with a Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots rematch, leaving fantasy managers to track injury reports for key personnel. New England running back TreVeyon Henderson remains uncertain for the opener due to an ankle injury that has kept him out of practice since late August. Arizona Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love is trending toward availability for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers after participating in a recent walkthrough following an ankle sprain. Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is also nursing a low ankle sprain, though the injury is not considered long-term. With teams playing Sunday not required to submit initial injury reports until Wednesday, final availability decisions for many players remain pending as the opening week of the regular season arrives.
