The NFL Week 3 injury report is already stacked, with several starting quarterbacks sidelined and key playmakers banged up across the league. Quarterbacks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Jaxson Dart are all expected to miss this week due to injuries, raising the prospect that six teams could turn to multiple starters by just the third game.
Wide receivers Zay Flowers and Nico Collins are managing hamstring issues, and Alec Pierce landed on injured reserve after aggravating an offseason ankle injury. Jayden Reed’s timeline remains unclear following a back injury in Week 2. The Carolina Panthers placed rookie running back Jonathon Brooks on IR, while the New Orleans Saints moved standout left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. to IR as well.
Below is the final injury report for Thursday night’s Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers matchup, along with midweek notes from around the league.
