NFL Week 2 injury updates, inactives: Eagles' A.J. Brown, Jaguars' Evan Engram among players out

All the latest injury news and inactives for Week 2 of the NFL season

Welcome to Week 2 of the NFL regular season! Already, the new year has brought with it a massive amount of storylines that have unfolded in just the first week alone. 

As is the case every year, injuries have been a central topic of conversation with a number of notable names going down. Two offensive juggernauts from the 2023 campaign -- 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and Rams wideout Puka Nacua -- have both been placed on injured reserve, while the Dolphins will be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa indefinitely after he suffered another concussion on Thursday night. 

Jaguars tight end Evan Engram suffered a hamstring injury during pregame warmups and is ruled out against the Browns. Engram had the second-most receiving yards on the team last season, finishing with 114 receptions for 963 yards. 

Some other notable inactives announced for Sunday include: Packers QB Jordan Love, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III, Colts WR Josh Downs, Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, Browns OT Jack Conklin, Saints CB Marshon Lattimore and 49ers S Talanoa Hufanga
