vbLUEdZP4kjw
Mike Florio and Peter King select the player and head coach who has impressed them most so far and other superlatives through the opening six weeks of the 2021 NFL season.

Week Six of the 2021 NFL season kicked off on Thursday with a win by the Buccaneers and it continues with 12 more games on Sunday, which means that the 24 teams in those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their final injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (illness) missed two practices, but returned Friday and he has no injury designation for Sunday.
