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.

Egbuka (hip/groin) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Egbuka took a questionable tag into the weekend after practicing just once (as a limited participant) this week, but the rookie wideout is trending toward being available versus New York. In any case, confirmation of Egbuka's Week 3 status will arrive when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Carter has cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Carter had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday. Now that he's gained clearance to play Sunday, the 32-year-old will be available in Week 3 as a depth wideout and key returner for the Browns.

Szmyt (calf) is slated to kick Sunday against the Packers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Per the report, Szmyt's MRI checked out okay, and Saturday the Browns removed the 'questionable' designation that the kicker had carried after being limited in practice Friday. In two games thus far, Szmyt has made two of his three field-goal attempts and three of his four extra-point tries.

Coach Pete Carroll expects Jeanty's workload to increase in the coming weeks, Ryan McFadden of ESPN reports.

In the Raiders' 20-13 season-opening win over the Patriots, Jeanty logged 54 of a possible 63 snaps on offense, with 19 carries for 38 yards and a TD while adding two catches for two yards. Then, in this past Monday's 20-9 loss to the Chargers, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft was on the field for 39 of 70 snaps on offense en route to carrying 11 times for 43 yards and catching three of his four targets for one yard. While game flow impacted Jeanty's usage in Week 2 (per offensive coordinator Chip Kelly) and inconsistent run blocking has been an issue early on, McFadden relays that Carroll wants Jeanty to play eight to nine more snaps per game, with the idea of getting the promising running back around 20 carries in the coming weeks. Such an outcome would no doubt please those who roster Jeanty, with his workload in Week 3 -- both in terms of snaps and touches -- of particular interest, based on his head coach's comments. In any case, backups Zamir White, Dylan Laube and Raheem Mostert aren't threats to Jeanty's status as Las Vegas' clear-cut top backfield option.

Ward has cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Ward -- who was inactive Week 2 -- had been listed as questionable after practicing fully this week, and now that he's been medically cleared, the cornerback will be available to reclaim his starting job in the Colts' secondary Sunday. In Week 1, Ward recorded a 94 percent snap share and made six tackles in a 33-8 win over the Dolphins.

Warren (toe) no longer carries an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

After missing Wednesday's practice, Warren was limited during Thursday and Friday's sessions before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Now that the Week 3 availability of the 2025 first-rounder has been confirmed, barring any workload restrictions or in-game setbacks, Warren should remain a key target for QB Daniel Jones on Sunday. The 6-foot-6, 256-pounder has been targeted a team-high 16 times through his first two regular-season games, resulting in an 11-155-0 receiving line in that span.

Worthy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Worthy will not travel with the team for the contest, so his return to action is on hold for now. In his continued absence, Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster are once again slated to see added WR snaps for the Chiefs, while Jalen Royals (knee, questionable) could join the mix as well in Week 3.

Worthy (shoulder) isn't expected to play Sunday night against the Giants, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Though Worthy was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, it appears as though the Chiefs are inclined to err on the side of caution with the wideout. Assuming he is ruled inactive Sunday, Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster would continue to see added WR snaps in Week 3, with Jalen Royals (knee, questionable) possibly joining the mix as well.
