With Week 1 nearly in the books, here’s a look at the notable injuries from Sunday’s games.

Andy Reid runs the most physical training camp in the entire NFL, and it’s the right approach for a young Eagles team.

The Lions have acquired Tony Scheffler in a three-team trade that also sent linebacker Ernie Sims to the Eagles. The move wasn’t a major one from a fantasy perspective in terms of the players involved, though getting Sims does improve the value of the Eagles defense.

Carolina is not going to have an easy time stopping the run today, even though the Saints have deactivated running back Pierre Thomas. Panthers defensive tackles Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu were both deactivated, leaving Carolina short-handed against the run.

DT Nick Hayden, a 2008 sixth-round pick from Wisconsin, should make his first NFL start for the Panthers.

The Jets lost kicker Mike Nugent to a thigh injury late in the first quarter when he was injured on a missed 32-yard field goal attempt.
