The Eagles are mostly in good health for Week 3 against Washington, with just defensive back Earl Wolff (knee) and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (calf) sidelined due to injuries.

The rest of the inactive list is as follows: quarterback Matt Barkley, tackles Matt Tobin and Kevin Graf, wide receiver Josh Huff and defensive end Taylor Hart. 

Texans tackle Jeff Adams, linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, safety Shiloh Keo, defensive tackle Louis Nix, wide receiver DeVier Posey and quarterback Tom Savage were among the team's inactives Week 3 at N.Y. Giants.

The Cowboys have made the following players inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Rams: linebackers Justin Durant (groin) and LB Rolando McClain (groin), defensive linemen Anthony Spencer (knee) and DT Davon Coleman (knee), quarterback Dustin Vaughan, cornerback Tyler Patmon and offensive lineman Donald Hawkins.

McClain was doubtful to play in Week 3 with his injury, while Durant, Spencer and Coleman had already been ruled out. Wide receiver Dez Bryant (shoulder), running back Joseph Randle (concussion), tight end Gavin Escobar (knee) and defensive end Lavar Edwards (knee) are active after being listed as questionable. Quarterback Tony Romo (back), guard Zack Martin (foot), defensive end George Selvie (shoulder) and defensive tackle Ken Bishop (illness) are all active after being listed as probable.

Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin (knee) is inactive after being listed as questionable on the team's final Week 3 injury report.

Austin was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning in a limited fashion Friday, but he was unable to get cleared to face the Cowboys. Tight end Cory Harkey (knee) and quarterback Shaun Hill (thigh) were also listed as questionable but are active for Sunday's game.

Other Rams inactives for Week 3 include cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Brandon McGee, offensive lineman Barrett Jones, quarterback Case Keenum, running back Tre Mason and safety Maurice Alexander.

Titans cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

McCourty was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but he'll suit up. Running back Dexter McCluster (foot), quarterback Charlie Whitehurst (finger) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard (ankle) are also active after being listed as probable.

The 49ers have promoted tight end Asante Cleveland from the practice squad.

In order to make the move, the team released quarterback Josh Johnson. Johnson had been inactive for the first two games this year. 

The Titans are quite healthy heading into their Week 3 game Sunday in Cincinnati. They have four players on their Friday injury report - and three are probable. The lone exception is cornerback Jason McCourty (groin), who is questionable.

The probables are running back Dexter McCluster (foot), quarterback Charlie Whitehurst (finger) and linebacker Wesley Woodyard (ankle).

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson should continue to roll against the Broncos at home in Week 3.

Wilson will face a tougher defense this time around in the rematch of the Super Bowl against the Broncos, but he did well in the last meeting when it mattered most. Wilson had 206 passing yards and two touchdowns and three carries for 26 yards.

He's coming off two games in a row with 21 Fantasy points against Green Bay and San Diego, and Wilson typically fares better at home than on the road with at least 18 Fantasy points in 11 of the 17 games he's played in Seattle in his career. Wilson likely won't match Peyton Manning in the stat category this week, but he won't be far behind. He's a quality starting option in all formats.

The Eagles declared wideout Josh Huff (shoulder), quarterback Matt Barkley, cornerback Jaylen Watkins (hamstring), offensive tackles Kevin Graf and Matt Tobin, linebacker Marcus Smith and defensive end Taylor Hart inactive for Monday night's game in Indianapolis.

Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel struggled mightily in a 30-7 loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but head coach Mike Zimmer told the Pioneer Press Sunday he is not planning to make a change to rookie Teddy Bridgewater at this point.

"I'm going to hold the quarterback position just like every position here to the same standard, and I also said I wasn't going to have a quick hook," Zimmer said.

Cassel matched a career-high with four interceptions in Week 2, but does not seem to be at risk of losing his job heading into Week 3 against the Saints. And Cassel made no secret of his happiness with Zimmer's vote of confidence after the game.

"I do appreciate it,'' Cassel said. "There's no doubt about it.''
