Leonard (coach's decision) is inactive against the Broncos on Sunday but will serve as the Colts' emergency third-string quarterback.

As the emergency third-string quarterback, Leonard will see the field Sunday only if both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson were to leave due to injury, illness or ejection.

Latu (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Latu gave himself a chance to play Sunday after logging a limited practice Friday, but he has not done enough during pregame warmups to be cleared to play against Denver. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, so he should be back for the Colts' Week 3 AFC South clash against the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 21. Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis are the top candidates to start opposite Kwity Paye at defensive end in Latu's absence.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Ehlinger will serve as the emergency third quarterback behind Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham, meaning he can enter the game if both of them are forced to exit due to injury, illness or ejection. The former Colt played the same role a week ago for Denver.

Goodson (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Broncos.

The reserve running back will sit out for the second time in as many games to open the season due to his elbow issue, despite managing to work back to a full practice Friday. In Goodson's ongoing absence, rookie fifth-round pick DJ Giddens, who recorded 12 carries for 41 yards in the Week 1 win over the Dolphins, once again will operate as the No. 2 back behind Jonathan Taylor. Meanwhile, Goodson will turn his attention to garnering active status for the first time this season in next Sunday's road matchup against the Titans.

McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

McLaughlin will be a healthy inactive for a second consecutive week, and his next opportunity to make his 2025 debut will be Week 3 against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 21. McLaughlin is stuck as the Broncos' fourth-string running back behind J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie.

Davenport (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bears.

The defensive end recorded one tackle before exiting. Davenport played on 32 defensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Detroit's Week 1 loss to Green Bay, finishing with three tackles (two solo). Al-Quadin Muhammad should see more snaps in his absence.

Queen (ribs) has returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Queen went to the medical tent in the second quarter of Sunday's game due to a rib injury, but he has been cleared to return to the contest. The Steelers are already without Isaiahh Loudermilk (ankle) for the rest of the game, and Alex Highsmith (ankle) is doubtful to come back, so Queen's return is a boost for the Steelers' defense.

Zylstra (ankle) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bears.

The tight end did not record a stat before exiting earlier in the first half. Detroit still has two tight ends, Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright, ahead of Zylstra on the depth chart.

Johnson suffered a groin injury in Sunday's Week 2 game against Detroit and has been deemed questionable to return, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Johnson missed Week 1 due to a groin issue, so he may have aggravated the same injury. He headed to the locker room during the first half Sunday, and the results of his evaluation will likely determine if he's able to return. Nahshon Wright has stepped in at cornerback in Johnson's stead.

Neal is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Neal was injured on kickoff coverage in the first half and is being evaluated for a concussion. He's the only backup safety on the active roster behind Ji'Ayir Brown and Marques Sigle, but Upton Stout or Chase Lucas could rotate from the slot corner to safety if needed.
