Injuries to watch ahead of Sunday’s Week 3 games

Ahead of Sunday’s Week 3 games, several teams arrive with injury reports that could affect their lineups. Some players are listed as “questionable” or game-time decisions, while others are expected to play through concerns. According to the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens have WR Zay Flowers as questionable (hamstring); he plans to do a pregame workout and will try to play against Dallas, but his participation could be decided at game time.

The Carolina Panthers expect to have WR Jalen Coker (ankle) on the field against Cleveland, while WR Xavier Legette (knee) remains a game-time decision. The Indianapolis Colts expect CB Charvarius Ward (groin) to play against Houston. The Las Vegas Raiders have TE Brock Bowers (knee) as questionable, but expect him to suit up against the Saints barring any surprises.

The Pittsburgh Steelers expect to have RB Jaylen Warren (shoulder) and WR Michael Pittman (foot) in their ranks against Cincinnati. With the San Francisco 49ers, WR Mike Evans (hip flexor) plans to play against Arizona. Many of these statuses remain unclear until shortly before kickoff, and teams usually wait for pregame workouts to confirm participation.

The terms “questionable” and “game-time decision” indicate the decision could change and that coaches will make the final call after the latest evaluations. In summary, the NFL notes that active lists and final decisions will become official shortly before kickoff, so participation expectations could change in the final minutes.
