One week into the NFL season has already taken its toll on the players. As the injury list grows heading into Week 2, so does the prominent names on the inactive list. Another full NFL Sunday is set to begin, with plenty of big names awaiting their official game status.
The Green Bay Packers were hit hard by injuries this week, as three key players on offense are inactive. Wide receiver Christian Watson, running back Aaron Jones and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari are all out vs. the Falcons.
The Chargers will be without Austin Ekeler, who was ruled out on Saturday with an ankle injury, while Joey Bosa is expected to play despite a hamstring injury. Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) listed as questionable, will play against the Bengals.
Travis Kelce (knee) will play for the Chiefs, while Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) will not play this week. Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is questionable, but not expected to play against the Jets.

Commanders
Chase Young did not play last week and will make his 2023 regular season debut today against the Broncos. Here is a look at the players who are on the inactives list for Week 2:
Denver's inactives are in:
The biggest story of the week is Aaron Rodgers likely being out for the entire season with an Achilles injury. While he has not ruled out a playoff return, for now it will be the biggest shoes to fill for New York. Here is a look at the rest of the players who will not be on the field against the Cowboys:
Rams
Here are the Rams' inactives for their game against the 49ers:
The 49ers inactives are in, all of whom are healthy scratches.
Budda Baker is obviously a big loss for Arizona.
S Budda Baker
LB Josh Woods
CB Starling Thomas V
OL Carter O'Donnell
OL Ilm Manning
TE Elijah Higgins
DL Leki Fotu
I'm surprised that Jordon Riley is inactive. Rookie looked great all summer and played well in limited time last week. One of few guys on team that did.
Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas will not play in Arizona today. Big loss for an already bad offensive line.
Browns WR Amari Cooper is unlikely to play on Monday night.
While CJ Stroud will play, he loses yet another offensive lineman with Laremy Tunsil out with a knee injury. He is the fourth regular offensive starter the Texans won't have today.
Despite being on this week's injury report, Jaguars linemen Brandon Scherff (ankle) and center Luke Fortner (ankle) will face the Chiefs today.
Titans O-lineman and first-round pick Peter Skoronski is inactive after needing an appendectomy during the week. Xavier Newman, who has played in one career regular season game, is in line to replace Skoronski in the starting lineup.
Damar Hamlin is inactive for a second straight week and has not played since Buffalo's Week 17 game against Cincinnati last December. O-lineman Mitch Morse (finger) was the only Bills player who was on this week's practice report.
Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool is active against the Buccaneers. He will have a spotlight on him, after a rough showing in Week 1 that was criticized by many.
Wideout Jakobi Meyers (concussion) will not be in uniform today for the Raiders. Also out for Vegas is Chandler Jones, who continues be inactive for personal reasons. Meyers' absence will likely lead to more targets for DeAndre Carter, who had just one catch for five yards last week.
Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon missed last week with a hamstring injury, but is making his NFL debut this week against the Lions.
Here is a look at the team's inactives:
LB Devin Bush
S Jamal Adams
LB Boye Mafe
T McClendon Curtis
T Charles Cross
G Ben Brown
DE Mike Morris
As expected, Travis Kelce (knee) and Chris Jones will play after missing the Chiefs' season-opening loss to Detroit. Kelce's presence will surely be a big boost for Patrick Mahomes after he was bedeviled by his receiving corps against the Lions.
Jeff Okudah and Cordarrelle Patterson were a question mark heading into Sunday, but they will have to wait another week to make their 2023 debut, as they are both inactive against the Packers.
The Packers will be without some key pieces to their offense in their game against the Falcons. Wide receiver Christian Watson, running back Aaron Jones and tackle David Bakhtiari are all out for Sunday's matchup. Jones and Bakhtiari did not practice all week and Watson did not practice until Friday, when he was a limited participant.
With running back Chris Evans injured and inactive, Bengals rookie RB Chase Brown will make his NFL debut today. Brown ran for 1,643 yards and 10 scores during his final game at Illinois.
In other Bengals injury news, backup OT Jackson Carmen is out today, so D'Ante Smith is in line to play if Orlando Browns or Jonah Williams sustains an injury.
After not practicing all week, Carlton Davis III is officially out against the Bears. Quarterback Baker Mayfield landed on the injury report with a right shoulder injury, but he was able to practice as a full participant all week.
Chargers pass rusher Joey Bosa will play today after missing time this past week with a hamstring injury. Los Angles will be without Austin Ekeler, which means a bigger workload today for Joshua Kelly.
Here is a look at the Bears inactives, with four offensive players and two defensive players on the list.
As Kevin noted, Mark Andrews will suit up for Baltimore but the Ravens will still be without two of their starting offensive linemen and two of their starting defensive backs. The Ravens are also without J.K. Dobbins, so Gus Edwards and Justice Hill will handle Baltimore's rushing duties along with Lamar Jackson.
The Lions inactives are in:
As expected, Colt running back Zack Moss is back in the lineup today after missing Week 1 with a shoulder injury. Moss is the Colts' starter with Jonathan Taylor out at least the next three games on the team's PUP list.
Texans' QB C.J. Stroud is officially active, after he was listed as questionable with shoulder injury, per Adam Schefter
