Murray is undergoing a concussion evaluation after taking a hard hit in Sunday's Week 1 matchup versus the Packers.

Murray was dealt a blow to the head by Javon Bullard on a play that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. The Vikings quarterback immediately went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Carson Wentz replaced Murray behind center for Minnesota and will direct the Vikings' offense moving forward if Murray is unable to return.

Brown rushed 16 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of six targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

As his final line indicates, Brown unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against the Buccaneers' typically stingy front. Nevertheless, head coach Zac Taylor stuck with the ground attack throughout the afternoon, and Brown, as expected, comfortably outpaced backfield mate Samaje Perine by 11 carries. The versatile back recorded his one touchdown from five yards out with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, and he finished tied for the team lead in receptions while also serving as co-runner-up in targets. Brown's busy afternoon should be the norm for him this season, and he'll look to grind out some tough yards again in a Week 2 road showdown against the Texans next Sunday.

Addington (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Addington appeared to sustain the injury while making a tackle on a kickoff return in the first half. It's unclear who will take over as the Dolphins' long snapper while Addington is sidelined.

Chase brought in two of four targets for 12 yards in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Despite the Bengals shaking off their usual Week 1 offensive doldrums, it was still a relatively modest day for the air attack. Joe Burrow threw for a respectable 254 yards, but Chase wasn't prioritized anywhere near the norm and actually finished behind all of Mike Gesicki, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown in targets. Chase will continue to be the focal point of opposing defenses every week, but he should be in line for more opportunity in a Week 2 road matchup against a Texans defense that was surprisingly gashed by the Bills on Sunday.

Collins caught seven of 10 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown while adding a seven-yard run in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

C.J. Stroud connected with Collins for a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter, marking the first touchdown of the season for both Houston's quarterback and the team's star wide receiver. Collins led the Texans in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday after finishing as Houston's receiving yards leader in each of the previous three regular seasons. He is locked in as Stroud's top target heading into a Week 2 home game against the Bengals.

Epps (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Epps exited the first quarter of Sunday's divisional contest. If the starter cannot return to the contest, Michael Carter will likely take over at strong safety for the remainder of the game.

Montgomery rushed 20 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Montgomery scored Houston's first two touchdowns of the season with a one-yard run in the first quarter followed by an 18-yard run in the second. The offseason trade acquisition from Detroit added a third touchdown on a seven-yard catch as the Texans pulled ahead 28-27 early in the fourth quarter, but Houston's vaunted defense failed to hold that lead. Montgomery's 23 touches in his Texans debut were more than he had in any of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 for Detroit, where he had to share the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. Woody Marks had 10 touches for 40 yards in a change-of-pace role behind Montgomery, but the latter is clearly Houston's top running back heading into a Week 2 home game against the Bengals.

Wilson caught six of seven targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

Wilson paced the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while no teammate exceeded three targets as the Jets employed a run-heavy approach while playing from ahead. Poor QB play and a knee injury limited Wilson to a career-low 395 receiving yards in seven appearances last season, but he had at least 1,042 receiving yards in each of his first three campaigns. Wilson is set to continue working as the top target for offseason acquisition Geno Smith in Week 2 against the Packers.

Hall rushed 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

The Jets overpowered the Titans at the line of scrimmage, controlling the clock with the running game while keeping Tennessee to three points through 57 minutes. Hall didn't enjoy many favorable game scripts as the Jets went 3-14 last season, but he capitalized on the heavy workload in the season-opening win while racking up 24 touches to Braelon Allen's 10. Rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter as new OC Frank Reich reached deep into his playbook early, but Hall also found the end zone with a four-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Hall and the Jets will look to build on this strong start in their Week 2 home opener against the Packers.

Allen completed 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 23 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

Allen ran in touchdowns of 21 yards and one yard in the second quarter. Those two rushing scores give him 43 regular-season rushing touchdowns since the start of the 2023 campaign, which is second most in the NFL during that span behind Derrick Henry. Allen added his third total TD of the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown pass to offseason acquisition DJ Moore. The 2024 MVP delivered some late heroics after the Bills fell behind 31-30 in the fourth quarter, leading a seven-play, 96-yard drive capped by a 34-yard Allen touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 to play. Buffalo's defense did the rest as the Bills improved to 1-0 ahead of Thursday's Week 2 home opener against the Lions.
