Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert is inactive for Week 2 against the Raiders.

Gabbert was ruled out Monday due to a laceration on his hand. Chad Henne will get the start in place of Gabbert. 

The Jaguars have made QB Blaine Gabbert, WR Mike Brown, CB Dwayne Gratz, LB J.T. Thomas, TE Marcedes Lewis, DT Abry Jones and CB Marcus Burley inactive Week 2 against the Raiders. 

Gabbert was ruled out earlier this week. Lewis has been dealing with a calf injury, and did not play Week 1.

The Giants made these players inactive for the game against the Broncos: running back Michael Cox, quarterback Ryan Nassib, linebacker Allen Bradford, offensive linemen David Diehl and Brandon Mosley, defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and tight end Adrien Robinson (foot).

Buccaneers guard Carl Nicks (foot) was ruled inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Saints.

In addition, cornerback Michael Adams (knee), tight end Tom Crabtree (ankle), cornerback Rashaan Melvin (hamstring) and fullback Erik Long (calf) did not dress for Sunday's game because of injuries. Quarterback Dan Orlovsky, defensive end William Gholston, defensive end Steven Means, running back Peyton Hillis and defensive tackle Chris Jones were healthy inactives.

Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer, tight end MarQueis Gray, offensive lineman Martin Wallace, offensive lineman Shawn Lauvao (ankle), defensive end Armonty Bryant and linebacker Paul Hazel were listed as inactive Week 2 at Baltimore.

Those on the Vikings injury report have gotten clearance to play against the Bears, so their inactive list for Sunday is loaded with healthy scratches. Included are quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, safety Mistral Raymond, linebackers Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti, defensive linemen Chase Baker and George Johnson and guard Jeff Baca.

Texans quarterback Case Keenum, running back Cierre Wood, linebacker Sam Montgomery, tackle Andrew Gardner, guard Cody White and defensive end Tim Jamison (foot) have all been ruled inactive Week 2 vs. Tennesseee.

The Chargers listed six as inactive for Week 2 against the Chargers Sunday, and it includes just one player who was listed on the injury report. Linebacker Manti Te'o (foot) joins linebacker Terrell Manning, quarterback Brad Sorensen, defensive lineman Drake Nevis, wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu and offensive lineman Johnnie Troutman. 

The Eagles inactive list for Week 2 against the Chargers Sunday features just one injured player, as Bradley Fletcher was already ruled out due to a concussion. The rest of the list is: quarterback Matt Barkley, defensive lineman Vinny Curry, running back Emil Igwenagu, tackles Dennis Kelly and Matt Tobin. 

Jets quarterback Geno Smith showed flashes of solid play in Week 2 against the Patriots, but was ultimately downed by bad weather and poor decision-making in a 13-10 loss.

Smith's final numbers were not pretty, as he completed just 15 of 35 passes for 214 yards, but he had to battle a downpour in the second half along with a relentless pass rush by the Patriots' offense. He ultimately made too many mistakes, including throwing three interceptions, to doom a potential comeback bid late in the game.

Smith has one touchdown and four interceptions through his first two NFL games, while attempting at least 35 passes in each game. The Jets will take on the Bills in Week 3 at home.
