Injury report for Monday games

No key injuries for those four teams

For Week 1, there are a pair of Monday night games -- Philadelphia at Washington and Houston at San Diego. Those teams submit their injury reports a day later than the rest of the league (since they're on a different practice schedule).

No big injuries in either of these games -- nothing that's going to affect fantasy ratings.

For the Philadelphia-Washington game, Kirk Cousins is the most notable name. He's probably with the foot injury he suffered a few weeks back. But Washington isn't planning on using him anyway.

In the later game, there's at least some nominal discussion. Ed Reed (hip) is questionable. They want to get him up and running and see if he can add something to their defense. But whether he plays or not isn't going to affect anybody using Philip Rivers or Vincent Brown or whoever.

Malcom Floyd (knee) and Eddie Royal (chest, concussion) are both probable. They'll play.

For the Texans, Arian Foster (calf), Garrett Graham (hip), DeAndre Hopkins (concussion), DeVier Posey (Achilles) and G Wade Smith (knee) are all probable. But those guys practiced fully all week. They'll play.

One other injury note. Sometimes teams will change their injury reports on Saturday, upgrading or downgrading players. The Patriots made some revisions today.

New England has downgraded Rob Gronkowski to out; he's not even traveling to Buffalo. So if you were harboring any flickering hope that he might play, forget it. They also moved Brandon Bolden and Aaron Dobson down to out. With Bolden, this means that LeGarrette Blount should be active. The Dobson injury might result in a few extra touches for Josh Boyce, but that's not a biggie. Kenbrell Thompkins is the rookie receiver there to start.
