Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Corbett (knee) is expected to return in 6-8 weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Corbett sustained an MCL injury in his left knee during the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals and was placed on injured reserve later that week, making Week 7 against the Giants his earliest possible return. However, Canales comments Monday indicate that Corbett will be sidelined for several games beyond that. In his absence, Cade Mays is expected to remain the Panthers' top center.

Nailor had three receptions for 37 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Nailor stayed active in the passing game after Carson Wentz took over at quarterback as the two appeared to have a good rapport. Nailor will move to the No. 3 wide receiver role next week with the return of Jordan Addison from a suspension, which could reduce his workload and targets.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that Hunt could miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful surgery to repair a torn biceps, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The 29-year-old guard was expected to miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve following the Panthers' Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. However, Canales comments Monday suggest Hunt could be sidelined for the remainder of Carolina's 2025 campaign. Expect Chandler Zavala to continue starting as the Panthers' top right guard while Hunt remains out.

Scott had eight carries for 30 yards and one reception for 20 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Scott played on 17 of the offense's 60 snaps as he got work in a blowout win behind starter Jordan Mason. Cam Akers played seven snaps late in the fourth quarter. While Scott's usage is encouraging, he also had a fumble (which the Vikings recovered), and the fact Akers was elevated to the active roster just a few days after being signed could be a worry. It's still possible Akers overtakes Scott for backup duties while Aaron Jones is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Cooper tallied four total tackles (two solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.

The second-year pro from Texas A&M had an underwhelming Week 3 performance after posting 22 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, through the Packers' first two games this season. Nonetheless, Cooper still ranks first on Green Bay's defense in solo tackles (17) and second in total tackles (26) through three weeks. He'll look to return to his usual form as one of the NFL's premier inside linebackers in Week 4, when the Packers face the Cowboys.

Loveland (hip) is believed to have avoided a severe injury, and he has a chance to gain clearance in time to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Loveland suffered a hip injury during the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but it appears he has a chance to avoid missing any significant time. The rookie first-rounder flashed his downfield playmaking ability before leaving the field versus Dallas, securing one of three targets for 31 yards. If Loveland is forced to miss time or face a limited snap count, Cole Kmet will handle an expanded workload at tight end.

Rodgers had three total tackles, two passes defensed, including a pick-six, and forced two fumbles, including one he returned for a touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Rodgers had one of the greatest individual defensive-player games in team history, as he was the first Vikings defensive player to score two touchdowns in a game. He also earned a perfect 99.9 Pro Football Focus grade, the highest for any player since 2006. While the touchdown returns may have been fluky, his stellar play in coverage and forcing fumbles is a trend that should continue.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Lamb suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Bears, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb said following Sunday's loss that he hasn't ruled himself out for Week 4, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the star wide receiver's injury isn't as significant as it initially appeared when he got his ankle rolled up versus Chicago. That said, a high-ankle sprain is an injury generally severe enough to warrant time on the sideline. It appears as though the Cowboys intend to continue evaluating Lamb before making a decision on his status for Week 4's contest against the Packers. Jones said the team "would love to have [Lamb] back for Green Bay, but at the same time we also have to understand the injury is what it is," per Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News.

Jackson recorded six total tackles (five solo) and one interception during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

The 28-year-old tied Tre'von Moehrig for the second-most tackles on Carolina's defense Sunday, trailing Christian Rozeboom's nine-stop effort. Jackson has played a large part in the Panthers' defensive success this season, recording 11 total tackles and three passes defended, including one interception, over three games. He's expected to remain one of the team's top defensive playmakers in a Week 4 matchup against the Patriots.

The Panthers are awaiting MRI results to diagnose the severity of Sanders' right ankle/foot injury, though initial X-rays were encouraging, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Sanders was forced out of Sunday's blowout win over the Falcons early, though he secured both of his targets for 11 yards before leaving the field. The second-year pro has operated as Carolina's top pass-catching tight end, so if he were to miss any time it would provide an opportunity for Tommy Tremble to take on extra receiving work.
