Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe/shoulder) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Purdy emerged from a Week 1 win at Seattle with a turf toe variant, which sidelined him this past Sunday in New Orleans. As the 49ers begin preparations for Sunday's home opener against the Cardinals, Shanahan is giving Purdy "a chance" to return to action, even as the emergency third quarterback, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. As a result, it appears Purdy and fill-in Week 2 starter Mac Jones are in consideration to lead San Francisco's offense Week 3.

Mason is taking over as Minnesota's unquestioned lead back with Aaron Jones (hamstring) going to injured reserve and missing at least four games.

With No. 3 RB Ty Chandler (knee) already on IR, the Vikings are left with Mason and Zavier Scott as their only running backs on the active roster. The team figures to promote Cam Akers or Xazavian Valladay from the practice squad before Sunday's game against Cincinnati, but that shouldn't stop Mason from taking on a large workload against a vulnerable defense in a game featuring two backup quarterbacks. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Wednesday that Mason is a "potential bell-cow kind of back."

Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a foot injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson dealt with an ankle issue last week and now is tending to a new health concern as the Giants prep for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. During a Week 2 back-and-forth overtime loss at Dallas, Robinson handled a 70 percent snap share and reeled off eight catches (on 10 targets) for 142 yards and one touchdown, all of which were surpassed by No. 1 WR Malik Nabers' 9-167-2 line on 13 targets.

Tracy was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After handling a 74 percent snap share during a Week 1 loss at Washington, Tracy fell all the way back to 42 percent in Sunday's loss in Dallas, while rookie Cam Skattebo jumped from 12 percent in the season opener to 52 percent Week 2. The result: Tracy recorded nine touches for 51 yards from scrimmage, and Skattebo had 13 touches for 59 total yards Sunday. Tracy's dip in usage may have been attributed to a health concern, and now his status will be one to monitor ahead of a Week 3 matchup with the Chiefs.

Daniels (knee) won't practice any earlier than Friday this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Daniels won't practice Wednesday or Thursday, instead focusing on rehab for the knee sprain he suffered last Thursday in Green Bay. The extra time off in between games helps his cause, but Daniels nonetheless appears in danger of missing Sunday's game against Las Vegas. Marcus Mariota will get the start at QB if Daniels doesn't.

Kirk (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Kirk is on the field for his first practice of the 2025 regular season, so while he figures to be officially listed as limited, this nonetheless represents a tangible step in the right direction for the veteran wideout. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday he expects Kirk to make his team debut versus Jacksonville on Sunday, a development that would figure to see him join Nico Collins atop a wide receiver corps otherwise housing Jayden Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson and Jaylin Noel.

Goedert (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Goedert missed Sunday's win over the Chiefs, 10 days after suffering a knee sprain in the Eagles' regular-season opener. Now nearly two weeks removed from the injury, Goedert apparently is making a bid to play this Sunday against the Rams

Wright (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Wright will make his regular-season debut versus Buffalo on Thursday, joining Ollie Gordon as a depth backfield option behind starter De'Von Achane. Through two weeks this season Achane has maintained a dominant workload out of the backfield, though his production has mostly come through the air with Miami's defense having surrendered early leads and limited the team's ability to lean on the run. If the Dolphins face a similar game script versus the Bills consistent rushing opportunities will again be hard to come by, potentially leaving few reserve carries available to Wright and Gordon.

Washington (thumb) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's matchup against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Washington has had his practice reps limited due to a thumb injury apparently sustained during Miami's loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he's listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated report and is ready to rock for Thursday Night Football. The No. 3 receiver secured one of two targets for two yards and carried the ball three times for 23 yards versus New England, while also racking up 122 yards and a touchdown in the return game.

Waddle (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Waddle wasn't listed on Monday's estimated injury report, he was limited in practice Tuesday and is now officially questionable for Week 3. He had also been limited in practice leading into Miami's matchup against the Patriots in Week 2, but Waddle managed to enter that matchup without an injury designation. His being listed as questionable may simply be the result of Miami facing a short turnaround before Thursday Night Football against Buffalo. It would be surprising if Waddle doesn't suit up Thursday, but fantasy managers may have to wait until 90 minutes before the divisional matchup's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff for his status to be made official.
