NFL Preseason Sees Multiple Key Injuries to Chargers, Texans, Jets Players

The 2025 NFL preseason is underway, highlighting key developments across multiple teams. The New York Jets, under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn and GM Darren Mougey, are focusing on building a winning culture, with quarterback Justin Fields and several newcomers expected to make an impact in their preseason opener against the Packers. Injuries have been a significant concern during the preseason, with players like Texans safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, Ravens rookie Bilhal Kone, and Chargers tackle Rashawn Slater all suffering injuries, some of which may impact their availability for the regular season. Slater's patellar tendon tear, in particular, has ruled him out for the entire 2025 season shortly after his contract extension, underscoring the physical toll of preseason training. Several teams are also managing injuries to notable players such as Rams lineman Jared Verse and Jaguars defensive tackle Arik Armstead, adding to the preseason's challenges. Meanwhile, free agency and training camp activities continue to draw fan attention and shape team dynamics heading into the regular season.
