Fifteen things to know about the Week 1 injury report

Kevin White's NFL debut might have to wait another game.

The second-year Bears wideout -- who missed his entire rookie season -- was officially deemed questionable to play against the Texans on Chicago's injury report Friday.

White was out all of 2015 with a stress fracture after being made the No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft. White first popped up on the Bears' injury report on Thursday.

The Bears and Jay Cutler would be better equipped for offensive success with White on the field. His NFL-desired frame would make him a nice target for Cutler and a nice second option behind Alshon Jeffery. The Bears might have to wait just a little bit longer to see him on the field.

Joining White as questionable for Sunday is Kyle Long, who has a shoulder injury. Long just signed a $40 million extension over the weekend and is an integral part of the Bears' offense.

Here are some other injuries we are tracking on Friday:

  1. Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (knee) is doubtful and "probably not going to play," coach Andy Reid said.
  1. The Patriots announced that tight end Rob Gronkowski and offensive linemen Jonathan Cooper and Nate Solder all will not play against the Cardinals. Linebacker Shea McClellin and wideout Chris Hogan are all questionable for New England.
  1. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was a full participant in practice Friday and is going to play Sunday.
  1. Redskins running back Matt Jones was a full participant. Wide receiver Josh Doctson was limited again in practice with his Achilles injury.
  1. Jerick McKinnon was limited during the week of practice for the Vikings and is questionable to play Sunday against the Titans. Adrian Peterson's backup was dealing with a foot injury during the week but coach Mike Zimmer said he should be okay to play. Wideout Charles Johnson (quad) is also questionable after being limited all week.
  1. Steelers wideout Markus Wheaton didn't practice because of a shoulder injury.
  1. J.J. Watt (back) and Derek Newton (hamstring) are both looking ready to go after practicing all week. The Texans face the Bears on Sunday.
