Burton (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Despite being healthy, Burton has yet to suit up this season. The 2024 third-round pick remains behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley and Charlie Jones on the offensive depth chart.

Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive as the Colts' emergency third quarterback Week 3 versus Tennessee.

This will be the third straight week to begin that campaign that Leonard serves as Indianapolis' emergency third QB. He's ineligible to enter Sunday's matchup unless both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson are forced out due to injury, illness or ejection.

Legette (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Legette earned significant snap shares (78 and 80 percent) in the first two games of the season, but his combined line of 4-8-0 on 15 targets to date doesn't reflect that fact. He then was limited in practice during Week 3 prep due to a hamstring issue that will sideline him Sunday. In Legette's stead, David Moore is expected to start alongside top WR Tetairoa McMillan, while Hunter Renfrow, Brycen Tremayne and Dalevon Campbell will be the other available options at the position.

Ridder (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Vikings' emergency third quarterback against the Bengals on Sunday.

Ridder wasn't able to make the Bengals' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he caught on with the Vikings this past Tuesday to provide depth at quarterback due to J.J. McCarthy (ankle) being sidelined. As the emergency third quarterback, Ridder is prohibited from playing Sunday unless Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer were both to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Carter (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

Carter entered the weekend deemed questionable to play while nursing a shoulder injury, but the issue won't keep him out of the Week 3 matchup versus the Bucs. Carter should thus assume his regular role handling most of the defensive snaps in the slot.

DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as New England's emergency third quarterback against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

DeVito will be the Patriots' emergency quarterback for a third-straight week. He won't be allowed to see the field unless Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are both removed from Sunday's game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Harmon (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

After logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Harmon was upgraded to a full participant Friday and deemed questionable. The rookie first-round pick will shake off the injury designation and make his NFL debut in Week 3 after missing the first two games due to an MCL sprain he suffered in Pittsburgh's preseason finale. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said Harmon would be eased into the rotation, so expect limited snaps from the 6-foot-3, 313-pound defensive lineman.

Tom (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom turned in limited practices during Week 3 prep, and the 2022 fourth-rounder has recovered enough from his oblique injury to play in Sunday's contest. He'll return to his spot at right tackle while Darian Kinnard serves in a depth role on the Packers' offensive line.

Turner (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Turner logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday but was always expected to suit up in Week 3. The 2023 second-round pick will be the Bengals' top CB against Justin Jefferson and the Vikings, as Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey attempt to replace Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring). Turner has four tackles (two solo) and an interception through two games this season.

Taylor-Britt (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

As expected, Taylor-Britt won't play in Week 3 after not practicing Thursday or Friday. DJ Turner (hamstring) has been cleared to suit up, so Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey will be candidates for increased roles across from Turner. The Bengals' secondary will have its hands full trying to slow down All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson, but he'll be catching passes for the first time in regular-season action from Carson Wentz, who's starting in place of J.J. McCarthy (ankle).
