The Washington Football Team and the Los Angeles Chargers released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday, ahead of this weekend’s Week 1 matchup.
Washington appears to be in pretty good shape with only wide receiver Curtis Samuel listed on the injury report. Samuel participated in Monday’s practice and left Wednesday’s session early when he reaggravated his groin injury.

The Chargers had one major concern on Wednesday’s initial injury report: starting running back Austin Ekeler. Ekeler missed Wednesday’s practice with a hamstring injury.
Right tackle Bryan Bulaga was also listed on the injury report with a hip flexor but was a full participant and is expected to play on Sunday. If anything changes, Storm Norton will start at right tackle, per our friends at Chargers Wire.
| Player | Injury | Wednesday Participation | Thursday Participation | Friday Participation | Game Status |
| RB Austin Ekeler | Hamstring | DNP | |||
| DB Trey Marshall | Ankle | DNP | |||
| OT Bryan Bulaga | Groin | Full | |||
| FB Gabe Nabers | Knee | Full | |||
We will continue to monitor the injury reports for both teams. Bulaga’s injury could be something to watch if he cannot play. The Chargers will be busy protecting quarterback Justin Herbert from Washington’s defensive line.
