McKee (thumb) is inactive but is serving as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Rams, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

McKee continues to work his way back from surgery on a fractured right thumb and is serving as Philly's emergency third QB for the second straight week. Until he's advanced enough in his recovery, Sam Howell will likely continue to get the gameday nod as the backup quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.

Oliver (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Oliver suffered a knee injury during the Titans' Week 2 loss to the Rams. The injury was severe enough for him to miss practice all of last week, and he'll work on being available for Tennessee's AFC South clash against Houston in Week 4. Julius Chestnut will likely join rookie fourth-rounder Chimere Dike on special teams as a kickoff returner in Oliver's absence.

Brownlee (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Brownlee was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice before not participating in Friday's session due to an ankle injury. The injury is severe enough that he won't suit up Sunday, and his next chance to play is Week 4 against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 28. Darrell Baker and Jalyn Armour-Davis are the top candidates to see an expanded role at outside corner opposite L'Jarius Sneed due to Brownlee's injury.

Keys (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

A groin injury prevented Keys from playing against the Falcons in Week 2, but he has been cleared to play Sunday after logging limited practices this past week. Keys played solely on special teams during the Vikings' Week 1 victory over the Bears and will likely reprise that role Week 3.

Darrisaw (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Darrisaw has fully recovered from a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee that required surgery in October of 2024. He is expected to start at left tackle while Walter Rouse serves in a depth role on the Vikings' offensive line.

Berrios (coach's decision) isn't suiting up Sunday against Jacksonville.

Berrios missed the first two weeks of the campaign due to a hamstring issue but wasn't given an injury designation heading into this weekend. With that in mind, his inactive status Sunday may be more tied to his depth role in the passing game and his lack of an opportunity to build chemistry within the offense thus far. It's also notable that fellow wideout Christian Kirk is active Week 3 after missing Houston's first two games with a hamstring injury of his own.

Moore is expected to start Sunday's game against the Falcons with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Moore hasn't received a target on minimal snap counts in two games to begin the season, but he's in line to be a part of the starting lineup along with No. 1 WR Tetairoa McMillan in Week 3. Whether or not that amounts to much attention for Moore from QB Bryce Young remains to be seen, especially with Hunter Renfrow (15 targets in 2025) also on hand, but Moore at least will be on the field to begin the contest.

Smith (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Smith missed the Vikings' first two games of the regular season while recovering from a personal health issue. The veteran safety was limited in practice all of last week, but he has done enough to be cleared to make his 2025 debut Sunday. Smith is expected to start alongside Josh Metellus at safety while Theo Jackson serves in a rotational role. Smith finished with 87 tackles (56 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass defenses (three interceptions) and a fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games in 2024.

Van Ginkel (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Van Ginkel entered the league's concussion protocol following the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Bears, which prevented him from playing against the Falcons in Week 2. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, and he has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol and return to action Sunday.

Pierce is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

With Pierce and British Brooks healthy scratches Sunday, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks are available to work behind Nick Chubb versus Jacksonville. Pierce is off the fantasy lineup radar until or unless injuries hit Houston's backfield.
