Panthers' Mike Boone: Inactive for Week 2
Boone (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The Panthers signed Boone off the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday after he played 24 snaps (five on offense, 19 on special teams) and turned four carries into seven yards in Week 1 against the Saints. The 29-year-old will not suit up against the Chargers, however, and the Panthers will go with Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear as the three active running backs for Sunday's contest.

Raiders' Dylan Laube: Healthy scratch again
Laube (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens.
Laube will be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row to kick off the 2024 campaign. The rookie sixth-round selection remains behind Zamir White, Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah on the team's positional depth chart and may need any injury to occur to make his NFL debut.

Kimani Vidal RB | LAC
Chargers' Kimani Vidal: Inactive Sunday
Vidal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Vidal -- who was also inactive last week -- could find himself in the Chargers' backfield mix in time, but for now the 2024 sixth-rounder is off the weekly lineup radar. Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins and Hassan Haskins are slated to handle the Chargers' RB duties in Week 2.

JaMycal Hasty RB | NE
Patriots' JaMycal Hasty: Suiting up Sunday
Hasty (knee) is active for Sunday's contest versus Seattle.
Hasty was questionable heading into the weekend after being limited in practice both Thursday and Friday due to a knee issue. However, he's been cleared to play Sunday against the Seahawks. Hasty worked exclusively on special teams Week 1 against Cincinnati and may be relegated to the same role Week 2.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: Set to start Week 2
Charbonnet is expected to serve as the Seahawks' lead back for Sunday's game against the Patriots with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive for the contest, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The Seahawks also have Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad call-up George Holani on hand as backfield depth, but those two players have combined for 17 career NFL snaps (all on special teams). With that in mind, Charbonnet could be primed to take on a true three-down role, after playing just one-third of the offensive snaps behind Walker while finishing with 10 touches (eight carries, two receptions) for 41 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in this past Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos. Charbonnet may struggle to match Walker from an efficiency standpoint, but a clear path to 15-plus touches makes the former a viable lineup option in just about any fantasy format this week.
