Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season ramps up on Sunday, and we absolutely cannot wait. Unfortunately, not every player will be able to take the field — and some injuries loom larger than others.

Here are the 20 biggest names on injury reports for Week 1. Keep coming back until the start of their teams' games, and we'll give you their latest status. As a reminder, the NFL eliminated the "probable" designation for this season. Players are now only listed as "questionable," "doubtful," or "out."
