NFL Week 2 injuries - Kelce, Andrews probably will go - ESPN
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Minnesota Vikings 34-28 on Thursday night despite missing four starters because of injury.
Yes, it's only Week 2, but injuries can pile up quickly in the NFL. The banged-up Eagles defense surrendered 364 passing yards and four touchdowns to Kirk Cousins, but it also recovered four Vikings fumbles to help keep Minnesota at bay.
In positive injury news, the 0-1 Kansas City Chiefs are expecting the return of tight end Travis Kelce (knee). The defending Super Bowl champions dropped their opener without him to the Detroit Lions. The Chiefs also should have defensive tackle Chris Jones, who skipped the opener in a contract dispute that since has been resolved.

Injury: Concussion
Meyers had a game-high nine receptions, on 10 targets, for 81 yards with two touchdowns in the Raiders' season-opening win at Denver. And while All-Pro WR Davante Adams will continue to get his, look for former Pro Bowl slot receiver Hunter Renfrow to rebound from the first no-target game of his five-year career. Rookie tight end Michael Mayer could also get additional targets in Meyers' absence.

Injury: Hamstring
Johnson is probably out for the Steelers' Monday night matchup against the Browns, taking away one of Kenny Pickett's top targets in a crucial divisional game.

Andrews is listed as questionable, but he's trending toward playing Sunday after
