Haskins (toe) is active Sunday against the Panthers.

Haskins picked up a toe injury at some point in the last week but is now well enough to take the field in Week 2. The Michigan product played no role in the Chargers offense last Sunday, playing just 19 snaps on special teams. He'll likely be in a similar role this Sunday, barring any injuries.

Blackshear (personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Blackshear missed practice Thursday and Friday due to a personal matter but will suit up Sunday. He operated exclusively on special teams in Week 1, posting 204 kick-return yards on eight tries.

Walker (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Walker was unable to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday due to the oblique injury, which prompted the Seahawks to list him as doubtful heading into game day. With Walker now officially ruled out, Zach Charbonnet is expected to move into a leading role out of the backfield, leaving Kenny McIntosh and practice-squad call-up George Holani to fill depth roles behind him. Walker will turn his focus to shaking off the oblique injury with the hope of returning to action next Sunday versus Miami.

Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Colts, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Lloyd's pro debut was delayed due to the hamstring injury that he suffered in the Packers' preseason opener back on Aug. 10. However, after being listed as limited on four straight practice reports dating back to Week 1 prep, the rookie third-rounder has been cleared for the first game action of his career. Green Bay's backfield is powered by offseason signing Josh Jacobs, but Lloyd and Emanuel Wilson are on hand for any reps that don't go to the sixth-year pro, which may be at least a handful for both if the offense is more ground-based with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center.

Badie was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Badie may get a chance to suit up Sunday against the Steelers, although his elevation does not guarantee it. Last Sunday against the Seahawks, Denver dressed three running backs with Blake Watson being a healthy scratch. However, due to Audric Estime (ankle) landing on injured reserve, it was expected Watson would make his NFL debut in Week 2. It's not clear yet if Badie's elevation is a sign of a change in plans or if the Broncos will roll with four active players in the backfield.

Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Lloyd sat out Green Bay's season-opener last week against the Eagles, but the 2024 third-rounder is poised to make his NFL regular-season debut Sunday. In that context, Lloyd would provide Green Bay with a complementary option in Week 2 behind top RB Josh Jacobs.

McCaffrey (calf), who was placed on injured reserve Saturday, is "likely to be out six weeks or potentially more" while he recovers from Achilles tendinitis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McCaffrey's placement on IR ensures that he'll miss the 49ers' next four games, but Rapoport suggests that the team is preparing for the star tailback to miss additional time beyond that. The 28-year-old isn't helped by the fact that the 49ers will play a Thursday night game in Seattle in Week 6, the first game in which McCaffrey would be eligible to return from IR. While Rapoport notes that McCaffrey won't be at an elevated risk of tearing his Achilles once he eventually plays again, the running back's Achilles tendinitis is regarded as a painful injury that will require rest and rehab for him to properly heal. Jordan Mason played 81 percent of the 49ers' offensive snaps and took on 29 touches in a Week 1 win over the Jets, and he looks like he could be in line for a heavy workload for the duration of McCaffrey's absence.

The Seahawks elevated Holani from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Kenneth Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots. If Walker doesn't play, then Holani would serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 running back behind Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh. Holani played in all three preseason games for the Seahawks, accumulating 15 carries for 65 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 15 yards.

The Ravens elevated Kelly from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Kelly played six special teams snaps in Week 1 against the Chiefs. The 2018 sixth-round pick is expected to reprise his role as the No. 3 running back behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

The Vikings elevated Gaskin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Gaskin will be elevated to the active roster for a second straight week, and he will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Ty Chandler for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Gaskin played seven snaps (two on offense, five on special teams) and rushed for minus-three yards on one carry in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Giants.
