Likely (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lions.

Likely will miss a third consecutive contest to begin the campaign as he continues his recovery from foot surgery that he underwent in the early stages of training camp. He was able to string together three limited practices this week, suggesting that his conditioning has improved. In the end, though, Likely will set his sights on a Week 4 showdown at Kansas City for his season debut.

The Steelers placed Scharping (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Scharping's season is over after he suffered a torn ACL during practice Wednesday. With Scharping sidelined, Spencer Anderson is currently the only backup guard on Pittsburgh's active roster.

Davenport (chest) is not expected to play in Detroit's matchup versus the Ravens on Monday.

Davenport has missed practice all week after having suffered a chest injury during last week's win over the Bears. While head coach Dan Campbell said that the injury isn't season ending, it's currently unclear how long Davenport will be sidelined for. In his likely absence, Tyler Lacy will likely start at defensive end alongside Aidan Hutchinson.

Moore will start at safety for the Jets during Sunday's matchup versus Tampa Bay, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Moore is slated to make his first start of the season, as Tony Adams has been ruled out with a hip injury. Moore has recorded six tackles (one solo) across the first two games of the season.

Swift (quadriceps) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Swift handled 35 combined touches through the first two games of the season and then was limited in each practice of Week 3 prep due to the quad injury. Now that he's in line to suit up Sunday, he'll take on his typical role as the Bears' No. 1 back, assuming he's confirmed to be active about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Texans signed Johnson to the active roster from their practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Johnson had been elevated for the first two games of the season and will join the team's active roster. The 30-year-old has seen playing time on both offense and special teams across the team's first two games. While he hasn't recorded any offensive stats, he did manage to block a punt during last week's loss versus Tampa Bay.

The Packers placed Reed (collarbone/foot) on injured reserve Saturday.

Reed was already playing through a Jones fracture in his foot when he sustained a broken collarbone early during a Week 2 win against the Commanders. He's since undergone surgeries for both health concerns and is facing a 6-to-8 week recovery timetable, meaning a move to IR was inevitable for Reed. For at least the next two games, the Packers' receiving corps will be composed of Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams and Malik Heath, while Christian Watson (knee) will be eligible for activation from the reserve/PUP list as soon as Week 6 following a Week 5 bye.

Kraft (knee) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Kraft tweaked his left knee during Thursday's practice and then sat out Friday's session entirely, but the tight end looks like he'll avoid missing any game action. In any case, fantasy managers planning on using Kraft in Week 3 will still want to confirm that he's active for Sunday's contest, with official word on that front set to arrive when Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Through the first two weeks of the season, Kraft has performed as one of the top fantasy tight ends with eight catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets to go with a three-yard carry.

Coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that Madubuike (neck) will be out for Monday night's game against the Lions.

Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, when asked whether Madubuike is a candidate for IR, Harbaugh said "I can't really comment on it right now. I don't know enough to say." The defensive lineman's status is thus cloudy beyond Week 3, a context that represents a concern in terms of Baltimore's pass rush in the coming weeks.

Adams (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, look for Malachi Moore to draw the start in place of Adams on Sunday. Adams' next chance to play will arrive Sept. 29 against the Dolphins.
