  • Tyson Campbell CB | CLE

    Browns' Tyson Campbell: Uncertain to play in Week 2

    Campbell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Campbell didn't practice Thursday but logged a limited session Friday, so there's hope concerning his availability against the Buccaneers. If the ankle injury prevents Campbell from getting on the field, Noah Igbinoghene or Mekhi Blackmon may fill in and line up opposite Denzel Ward.

  • Ravens' Devontez Walker: Should contribute on offense

    With Zay Flowers (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Walker should have a role on offense in Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

    Walker missed Week 1 with a groin injury and now joins an offense that's likely without Flowers and won't have Ja'Kobi Lane (IR - wrist) for at least the next four weeks. Veteran starter Rashod Bateman is the de facto No. 1 receiver, with Walker, LaJohntay Wester, Chris Moore and Elijah Sarratt all candidates for significant playing time as well. Walker was in competition with Lane this summer for the No. 3 receiver job alongside Flowers and Bateman.

  • Chop Robinson LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Unavailable versus San Francisco

    Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Robinson logged 42 defensive snaps in the 27-13 loss to the Raiders in Week 1. However, he suffered a concussion during practice Wednesday and has since been ruled out for the Week 2 meeting with San Francisco. Without Robinson in the equation, Robert Beal and Malik Herring are candidates for more playing time.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Stepping up in Collins' absence

    Hutchinson will have a key role for the Texans in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) this Sunday against Cincinnati, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.

    In the season opener, Hutchinson finished second among the team's wide receivers in route share (69 percent) and target share (16.2 percent), catching three of six targets for 32 yards. He's struggled to draw targets over the years even when he gets considerable playing time, but this could be somewhat different because the team's WR depth looks thinner than in past years. Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also figure to have roles against the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Jaylin Noel WR | HOU

    Texans' Jaylin Noel: Primed for larger role?

    Noel has a chance for more playing time with Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.

    Noel caught both of his targets for 53 yards in the season opener, operating as Houston's No. 3 receiver and running a route on just 33 percent of dropbacks. He should get more playing time this week, though Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte are more likely to take snaps in two-wide sets. Both have maintained consistently low target rates across multiple years of significant playing time, so Noel could make an impact even if he's just the No. 3 receiver.

  • Kayshon Boutte WR | HOU

    Texans' Kayshon Boutte: Set for larger role

    Boutte is in line for a larger role with Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.

    Boutte was targeted on just two of 25 routes in a Week 1 loss to Buffalo, catching one pass for 21 yards. His 60 percent route share was fourth on the team, behind Collins (86 percent), TE Dalton Schultz (71 percent) and WR Xavier Hutchinson (69 percent). With Collins out of the equation, Hutchinson and Boutte are the safest bets to take WR snaps, with Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also having roles. The Texans also may lean into multi-TE formations after using 11 personnel on 58 percent of snaps in their season opener.

  • Jack Strand QB | ATL

    Falcons' Jack Strand: Backup QB again Sunday

    Strand is listed as the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    With Michael Penix (knee) out and Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) doubtful, Cooper Rush (back) will start again in Week 2. While Strand is currently penciled in as the No. 2 signal-caller against Carolina, he'll see action if Rush is forced to miss any time.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: DNP due to hip injury

    Nacua didn't practice Friday due to a hip injury, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.

    Nacua wasn't present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, but now the reason for his absence is known. He has just one more chance to prove his health ahead of Monday's game against the Giants and avoid a Week 2 injury designation. With Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) also showing up as a DNP on Friday's practice report, Davante Adams, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell and CJ Daniels represent the healthy wide receivers on the Rams' active roster.

  • Patriots' Carlton Davis: Questionable for Week 2

    Davis (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Davis played on all but one of the Patriots' defensive snaps in the 13-10 loss to the Seahawks in Week 1. However, he hasn't practiced all week due to a neck injury, casting doubt about his availability against Pittsburgh. If Davis can't suit up in Week 2, Charles Woods, Karon Prunty and Channing Canada could each see more action.

  • Aaron Donald DE | LAR

    Rams' Aaron Donald: Expects to play Monday

    Donald told Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com on Friday, "That's the plan," when asked if he'll play Monday against the Giants.

    Donald made his long-awaited return to the Rams on Aug. 30, but the Rams took advantage of a roster exemption from the NFL and didn't have him travel with the team for a Week 1 matchup with the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. The exemption was lifted on Sept. 11, and he hasn't been included on L.A.'s Week 2 injury report, indicating that he's in the clear to make his first appearance since the 2023 campaign. Donald's comment Friday confirms that he expects to play.
