The 2022 NFL season is off to an electric start as the Buffalo Bills made a statement Thursday night with a 31-10 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams.
Heading into the rest of the Week 1 slate, injuries are already impacting team depth charts. The New York Jets will be without quarterback Zach Wilson when they battle the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, as the second-year quarterback is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. Former Ravens signal-caller Joe Flacco will start in his place.
In positive news, the Philadelphia Eagles are likely to have running back Miles Sanders available for their season opener against the Detroit Lions. He said he is “ready to go” at a news conference Thursday. Sanders has missed time during the preseason with a hamstring injury but is expected to be the lead back for the Eagles this season.
