NFL Week 3 final injury report: Giants’ Evan Engram, Kenny Golladay listed as questionable

Week 3 of the 2021 NFL regular season kicked off on Thursday night, as the Carolina Panthers defeated the Houston Texans 24-9. While they won their third straight game, the Panthers also suffered a couple of significant losses, as star running back Christian McCaffrey suffered a hamstring injury that will sideline him for a few weeks while first-round pick cornerback Jaycee Horn “broke some bones in his foot.”

Injuries are unfortunately a part of the game of football, and some teams are beginning to see them mount as we venture further into the regular season. Several starting quarterbacks are banged up this week, and Andy Dalton of the Chicago Bears has already been ruled out. There are other players who will be coming back this Sunday, however, such as Odell Beckham Jr. of the Cleveland Browns.

Below, we will examine all final injury reports for the 28 teams set to take the field on Sunday. If you have a question about a player’s status, this is the place to be.

Atlanta Falcons at New York Giants (-3)

Falcons: WR Russell Gage (ankle), CB A.J. Terrell (concussion), WR Frank Darby (calf) OUT
Giants: LB Cam Brown (hamstring) OUT; TE Evan Engram (calf), WR Kenny Golladay (hip) QUESTIONABLE

The Falcons will be missing a couple of important players on both sides of the ball this Sunday, as Gage and Terrell have been ruled out for Week 3. They along with Darby did not participate in practice all week.

There’s obvious concern for both Engram and Golladay on Sunday, but New York’s injury report did bring forth some good news. Running back Saquon Barkley has no injury designation after being a limited participant all week with his knee injury, and the same goes for safety Logan Ryan with his hamstring injury.

Arizona Cardinals (-7.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars

Cardinals: TBD
Jaguars: TBD

Browns: TBD

The Bears have a loaded injury report which is headlined by Dalton. He’s officially out, as Justin Fields will run the offense on Sunday. While seven players are listed as questionable for Chicago, Hicks, Goodwin, Jackson and Nichols were all full participants in practice on Friday.
