Coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Burrow underwent toe surgery Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Per Baby, Taylor noted that the procedure to address the QB's Grade 3 turf toe injury went well, but at this stage the Bengals don't have a timeline for Burrow's return. Previous reports have suggested that Burrow's recovery period is expected to be in the three-month range, an estimate that leaves the door open for a possible late-season return for Cincinnati's franchise signal-caller. In Burrow's absence, Jake Browning will fill in as Cincinnati's starting QB, with Brett Rypien set to serve as his backup and Mike White and Sean Clifford currently on the team's practice squad.

Taylor-Britt (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

DJ Turner (hamstring) is also dealing with an injury, but coach Zac Taylor indicated Turner has a good chance to play Sunday. Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey will be pushed into elevated snaps on defense with Taylor-Britt unlikely to play.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels (knee) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

Daniels will miss at least one game due to the sprained knee he suffered Week 2 against the Packers, despite returning to practice Friday as a limited participant. Marcus Mariota takes over as Washington's starting QB for the home matchup with Las Vegas.

Palmer was on the field for 26 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.

After being targeted nine times Week 1 and three times Week 2, Palmer logged just one target (for five yards) Thursday. While a bounce-back is possible as soon as Week 4 against the Saints, fellow WRs Elijah Moore and Tyrell Shavers combined for five targets versus Miami, while Keon Coleman (45) and Khalil Shakir (42) paced the team in terms of Week 3 snaps.

Coach Matt LaFleur doesn't expect Kraft (knee) to practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Per Schneidman, LaFleur was non-committal on Kraft's status for Sunday's game against the Browns, while noting that he doesn't believe the tight end will go on injured reserv. If Kraft is unavailable this weekend, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick would be in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Ben Sims (who has been a healthy scratch so far this season) also potentially in the mix.

Coach Mike McDaniel expects Waller (hip) to play against the Jets on Monday, Sept. 29, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per the report, McDaniel noted Friday that Waller was "super close" to playing in Thursday's loss to the Bills, while suggesting that the tight end may have been able to play had the game been Sunday. With his return to game action on the radar, Waller is worthy of roster consideration for those in TE-friendly formats, or who otherwise are looking to bolster their depth at the position.

Tufele (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Tufele will miss his second straight game with an illness. Jowon Briggs and Leonard Taylor will again see increased reps behind Quinnen Williams and Harrison Phillips against Tampa Bay.

Egbuka (hip/groin) was present for practice Friday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Egbuka was deemed a non-participant both Wednesday and Thursday, so his presence at Friday's session is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. The Buccaneers' upcoming practice/injury report will reveal both the wideout's participation level as well as whether he carries a Week 3 injury designation into the weekend.

Coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Reynolds (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

With Reynolds set to miss his second straight game, Garrett Wilson will continue to lead the Jets' pass-catching corps Sunday, with Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard available to handle WR targets from QB Tyrod Taylor that don't go Wilson's way. Reynolds' next chance to see game action will arrive Monday, Sept. 29 against the Dolphins.

Nwangwu (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu was injured in the Week 1 opener against the Steelers and will miss his second straight game. Isaiah Davis, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will likely handle returner duties in Nwangwu's absence.
