Keenum is now expected to start against the Steelers, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.

Sam Bradford tested out his sore knee in pregame warmups, but was only out there briefly before limping off.

Bradford (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bradford's week began innocuously enough with a limited practice due to a knee concern, but Friday's injury report listed the quarterback as questionable before the team elevated Kyle Sloter to the 53-man roster Saturday. The preemptive move signaled the Vikings' worry, which was validated when Bradford's warmup Sunday included some throwing but little other movement, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. In Bradford's place, Case Keenum will be under center in Week 2.

Bradford (knee) now is not expected to start, with the Vikings turning to Case Keenum, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.

Bradford tried to warm up in pregame and was only out there briefly before limping off.

Bradford (knee) said he expects to play Sunday against the Steelers, Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL.com reports.

Bradford's availability will come down to a game-time decision following pregame warmups, but the positive news is that the ligaments in his knee are intact. If Bradford suffers some kind of setback or can't do enough in warmups, Case Keenum would likely start at quarterback. The Vikings elevated Kyle Sloter from the practice squad as a third quarterback to give them insurance at the position if Bradford can't suit up Sunday.

Bradford (left knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh based on his pregame warmups, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Bradford is listed as questionable on the injury report. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Friday he anticipates that Bradford will start. However, this report and Minnesota's promotion Saturday of third-string quarterback Kyle Soler to the active roster from the practice squad raise some doubt. Fantasy owners will need to watch pregame warmups to see if Bradford will play. If not, Case Keenum would get the start against the Steelers.

Brissett is in line to start Week 2 against the Cardinals, Zak Keefer and Stephen Holder of The Indianapolis Star report.

Brissett moved the Colts during the fourth quarter of Week 1's loss to the Rams, although by that time, the Rams had called off the dogs in what turned out to be a 46-9 defeat. It will be a different story this week as the Cardinals are looking to avoid going 0-2.

Bradford (left knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable on the injury report for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. However, head coach Mike Zimmer said he anticipates Bradford will play, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Bradford had an MRI on Tuesday, according to a report from ESPN, that while not showing specific damage suggests this is more than a minor ailment. It's certainly concerning, considering this is the same knee that underwent ACL repairs in 2013 and 2014. However, it doesn't seem serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's game. Fantasy players will want to watch Bradford's status ahead of kickoff, though, just to be safe.

Coach Chuck Pagano declined to confirm Brissett as the team's starting QB for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Per the report, official confirmation of the assignment may not arrive until Sunday. Despite Pagano's reluctance to tip his hand here, both ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport are reporting that Brissett is in line to draw the start over Scott Tolzien, who struggled in Week 1, while filling in for Andrew Luck, who remains out with a right shoulder injury. Despite the probability that Brissett gets the nod Sunday, he's not a high-percentage play for Week 2 fantasy lineups.

Brissett is expected to be the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Colts have not confirmed the move, but it appears Brissett will replace Scott Tolzien in the starting lineup after just one week. Expect head coach Chuck Pagano to reveal more details regarding the Colts' quarterback situation at some point Friday.

Coach Marvin Lewis confirmed following Thursday's loss to the Texans that Dalton's job as the team's starting quarterback is safe, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

The Bengals are still looking for their first touchdown of the season after suffering discouraging losses to the Ravens in Week 1 and the Texans in Week 2, with both of those games taking place at home. Over those two games, Dalton threw four interceptions and lost a fumble while throwing for 394 total yards. If the slide continues, it will be hard for Lewis not to consider starting backup AJ McCarron, although the coach plans to roll into Green Bay next Sunday with Dalton at the helm of Cincinnati's offense.
