Welcome to the first Football Friday on Injury Territory, where Will Carroll and Edward Egros peek inside that pesky blue medical tent and get you ready for the 2026 NFL season.

Some of the NFL’s biggest stars enter 2026 with major injury questions, while others are attempting remarkable comebacks from ACL tears, Achilles ruptures and other season-ending injuries. We break down where Patrick Mahomes, Daniel Jones, Micah Parsons, Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Malik Nabers, Nnamdi Madubuike and other NFL stars stand as Week 1 approaches.

How quickly can Mahomes return from ACL surgery? Daniel Jones is already back after a December Achilles rupture, but what should the Colts expect once the games count? Parsons is trying to return from a late-season ACL and meniscus injury. Bosa is coming back from another ACL reconstruction. Kittle is pushing the limits of an Achilles recovery. Nabers is returning from ACL and meniscus surgery. And Madubuike is attempting to resume his career after a cervical disc injury and two neck surgeries.

Will and Edward separate the medical reality from training-camp optimism, explain the timelines that matter and identify the NFL injuries that could change the 2026 season before it even begins.

Injury Territory covers NFL injuries, injury news, return-to-play timelines, sports medicine, injury analysis and the latest health updates on the biggest names in football.
