Rodgers completed 16 of 23 passes for 139 and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots. He added one rushing yard on four carries.

The veteran QB hit DK Metcalf for a 12-yard score in the second quarter and Calvin Austin with a game-winning 17-yarder with just over two minutes left in the fourth. Rodgers' first touchdown of the afternoon also moved him past Brett Favre into fourth place on the NFL's all-time list, and he finished the game with 510 -- putting him 29 behind Peyton Manning for third place. Rodgers has a 7:3 TD:INT through his first three games as a Steeler, but he faces a tough test in Week 4 in Ireland against the Vikings.

Fant (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Fant ends his Sunday with five catches (on five targets) for 26 yards and a lost fumble, and he will now look to gain medical clearance ahead of the Bengals' Sept. 29 game against the Broncos. For the remainder of Week 3's contest, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy are the team's available TEs.

Evans (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's contest versus the Jets.

Evans had a visible limp as he made his way to the sideline in the middle of the fourth quarter and was ruled out not long afterward. The Buccaneers are slated to get Chris Godwin (ankle) back in action in the near future, so if Evans' injury ends up being serious, reinforcements are on the way in the receiving corps.

Gardner is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return.

Gardner appeared to suffer the injury while making a tackle in the fourth quarter and went to the locker room after being evaluated by trainers in the blue medical tent. With Tony Adams (hip) inactive, Qwan'tez Stiggers will likely see more work at outside corner for as long as Gardner is out of the game.

Fant left Sunday's game against the Vikings with a possible concussion.

Prior to that, Fant caught all five of his targets for 26 yards. With Fant sidelined, Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Cam Grandy are available to handle the Bengals' TE duties versus Minnesota.

Penning (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Penning missed the first two games of the season due to a toe injury that he suffered during the Saints' preseason opener against the Chargers. He was a limited participant in practice this past week, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to make his regular-season debut Sunday, when he'll start at left guard.

Colby (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 3 clash against the Cardinals, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.

Colby dealt with a groin injury late this week but will be able to suit up in the NFC West battle Sunday. He'll draw the start at left guard in place of Ben Bartch (ankle), who landed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Evans departed Sunday's contest against the Jets due to a hamstring injury.

Evans limped off the field in the middle of the fourth quarter and was considered questionable to return not long afterward. At the time he exited, he'd notched four catches (on eight targets) for 33 yards and one touchdown.

Fuaga (knee/back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Fuaga was unable to practice all week due to back and knee injuries, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 28. Asim Richards will likely get the start at left tackle in Fuaga's absence.

Moore hurt his calf in Sunday's game against Tennessee and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Moore headed to the locker room after having his left calf looked at by trainers during the second half. Prior to his exit, he logged two assisted tackles and picked up his first interception of the campaign. Mekhi Blackmon and/or Johnathan Edwards may be given more reps in the secondary in Moore's absence.
