The best injury news of the week belongs to DamnBrit. Brock Bowers walked out of Las Vegas' win over Miami under his own power, and word is he could suit up as soon as Week 2 against the Chargers. For a manager relying on an elite tight end, that's about as good as a scratch from the injury report can sound. DamnBrit's other concern, MarShawn Lloyd, remains a bench piece worth watching after playing ahead of Chris Brooks in Green Bay's committee while Josh Jacobs sat out.
Cmoney7 has more to sweat. Saquon Barkley delivered his usual long run but did little else, a shrug for a weekly starter but not alarming. Ladd McConkey's night ended early with a chest injury, and Jim Harbaugh had nothing to say about it afterward — that's the one to monitor before Week 2.
Trotter0's trio of pass catchers had a mixed opener. DeVonta Smith, a weekly starter, was quiet outside one big catch. Mark Andrews and Juwan Johnson, both bench tight ends, each had useful days that add a little value without moving the needle much.
Elsewhere: Jalen Hurts and Jameson Williams, both weekly starters for vaniano and ssbradley40, had uneven outings that shouldn't cause real concern. Trevor Lawrence looked sharp for Scarpg. Rico Dowdle, Kenny Gainwell, Jonathon Brooks, Jakobi Meyers and Alec Pierce were all non-events — bench names doing bench things.
