2025 Week 8 NFL Fantasy Injury Preview

Follow Dr. Edwin Porras on his fantasy football account here and see what his day job is in the Denver area

Jayden Daniels — Hamstring

We’re in the same camp as we were with Lamar a few weeks ago. If the Commanders are as conservative as they have been with all of their injuries this year, it’ll be 2-3 weeks before we see Daniels. Monitor his practice status.

Projected Return: Week 10

Michael Penix Jr. — Ankle

The Falcons are calling Penix’s injury an “ankle bone bruise”. Legit bone bruises are not something to take lightly. Monitor Penix’s practice status this week. If he doesn’t practice by Thursday, he’s likely out 2-3 weeks

Projected Return: TBD

Bryce Young — Medial ankle sprain

Young didn’t finish the game after suffering (what appeared to be) a mild medial/high ankle sprain. Generally QBs don’t miss a ton of time with injuries like this so it’s odd that he didn’t return. At worst, this is a 1-2 week absence.
