Travis Kelce - SIC score 30

Reportedly suffered a knee hyperextension in practice on Tuesday and will more than likely miss Thursday’s season opener. In the best case scenario, he misses just a few weeks. Check back for updated analysis on his recovery timeline. 

Joe Burrow - SIC score 87

As expected, Burrow will play Week 1 against the Browns but with limited mobility. 

He is at risk for reaggravation of the calf injury and may not take rushing opportunities as often for the first few weeks of the season.

Kadarius Toney - SIC score 77

The shifty Chiefs receiver will play Week 1, but how much is the question. His meniscus trim has had ample time to heal. 

However, he missed key time in training camp and the wide receiver room will be a headache to figure out early in the season.

Fantasy owners are likely better off sitting him for Thursday’s 

Cooper Kupp - SIC score 13

Matthew Stafford’s main target will not play Week 1 and his availability beyond is in question as he’s currently seeing a specialist in Minnesota. Pro Football Docs had concerns about his quarterback’s ability to play the full season and now those concerns are with Kupp as well.

Terry McLaurin - SIC score 45

His turf toe injury from Aug. 21 gives our panel of doctors serious worries about his Week 1 status. Any big toe injury to a wide receiver is concerning, but especially saps McLaurin’s ability to be explosive off the line and make decisive cuts.

Mark Andrews - SIC score 75

Has not practiced recently, but head coach John Harbaugh told reporters not to hit the panic button. Andrews is expected back at practice on Wednesday after missing the previous three weeks with an undisclosed issue.

Our panel of doctors will update his SIC score based on Wednesday’s practice report. 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - SIC score 31

The Seahawks rookie wideout is recovering from a fractured scaphoid bone in his left wrist and will likely miss the first three weeks of the season. 

He was spotted at practice shortly after undergoing surgery, but it’s unlikely he plays with a brace as it will limit his ability to catch and runblock.
