Nunez-Roches (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nunez-Roches opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before ending with a DNP on Friday. It's the second game in a row that he'll miss due to a foot injury, and he'll work on progressing enough in his recovery to return for Week 4 against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 28. Darius Alexander, Elijah Garcia and D.J. Davidson will continue to see an uptick of defensive snaps due to Nunez-Roches' injury.

Browning completed 19 of 27 passes for 140 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed once for three yards in the Bengals' 48-10 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

The Vikings jumped on Browning and the Bengals early, establishing a 14-0 lead through one quarter, and the veteran backup was never able to get his side of the ball fully on track. Browning ultimately took three sacks and tossed a pair of picks in Minnesota territory, the first of which was a pick-six in the first quarter. Browning has demonstrated the ability to play appreciably better than he demonstrated Sunday in a game that got out of hand due largely to turnovers, but atoning for the poor performance in Week 4 could be a heavy lift with a road trip to Denver for a Monday night, Sept. 29 date with the Broncos on tap.

Thomas (foot) is active for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Thomas will make his season debut, returning to action for the first time since Week 6 of the 2024 campaign. The offensive lineman has been sidelined while recovering from a Lisfranc injury, but he will now be back in his starting role at left tackle versus Kansas City.

Olszewski (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Olszewski ended the week with a DNP on Friday after logging consecutive limited practice sessions, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday night's game. He's worked exclusively on special teams through the first two games of the regular season and has accrued 62 punt return yards and 29 kick return yards over that span.

McMillan recorded three receptions on eight targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

McMillan was plenty involved in the Panthers offense, as he doubled Carolina's next-closest pass catcher in targets. That didn't translate into much production, though he still showed impressive flashes, including making a leaping contested catch as well as a 23-yard reception out of the slot in the first quarter. McMillan has had a promising start to his rookie season, though his stat lines could be inconsistent due to the nature of the Panthers' offense.

Golston (ankle) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Golston will be forced to miss Week 3 while dealing with an apparent ankle injury. The linebacker combined to play 32 defensive snaps over the team's first two games of the year, so his absence doesn't carry a massive impact.

Royals (knee) is active for Sunday's game at the Giants, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Royals had been dealing with knee tendinitis since mid-August, which delayed the rookie fourth-round pick's pro debut. Now that he's cleared for action, he'll be available to a Chiefs receiving corps that again will be without Xavier Worthy (shoulder). However, it remains to be see how Royals will be incorporated in a healthy group that includes Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jason Brownlee and Nikko Remigio.

Winston (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Giants' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Winston will be the Giants' emergency QB for a third consecutive week while Jaxson Dart serves as the backup behind Russell Wilson. Winston is not allowed to play Sunday unless Wilson and Dart were both removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Lawrence completed 20 of 40 passes for 222 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for nine yards in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Lawrence averaged just 5.6 yards per attempt while failing to throw a touchdown for the first time in three games this season. The 2021 first overall pick spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall, and he leveraged another impressive performance by his defense to help the Jaguars garner their second win of the season. To date, Lawrence has concerningly completed just 55.8 of his pass attempts in head coach Liam Coen's typically QB-friendly offense, and he draws another tough matchup in a Week 4 road clash against the 49ers.

Love completed 18 of 25 passes for 183 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed four times for 18 yards in the Packers' 13-10 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Love's final stat line -- not to mention the final score -- both hint plenty at what type of day it was for the Packers offense, and additional insight can be gleaned from the fact Love was sacked five times and hit seven times overall. The talented signal-caller had a tight circle of six targets overall in his first full game of 2025 without Jayden Reed (IR-collarbone/foot), and his interception at his own 29-yard line with just over three minutes remaining set the Browns up for a game-tying touchdown. Love has thrown for under 200 yards in two of his first three games, but he takes an impressive 5:1 TD:INT into a Week 4 Sunday night road matchup against the Cowboys.
