Rodgers (elbow) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against Atlanta.

Rodgers popped up on the injury report as limited Thursday, but he's fine for Sunday night's date with Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Rodgers started at cornerback in Week 1 and played all 67 defensive snaps against the Bears.

Bowers (knee) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com report.

Bowers didn't practice Thursday, either, so what the star tight end is able to do Saturday (if anything) will be notable with regard to his chances of suiting up Monday night against the Chargers. Per Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bowers said of his Week 2 status Thursday, "We'll see how it's feeling throughout the week, but I'm hoping to play." Unless Bowers ends up without an injury designation Saturday, however, cautious fantasy managers are advised to consider a contingency plan at TE this week, considering Monday's 10:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Oliver (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Falcons.

Mainly a blocking specialist for the Vikings, Oliver played 48 percent of the offensive snaps in last Monday night's win over the Bears and caught his lone target for five yards.

Reed (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Reed started last Sunday's game against the 49ers and recorded five tackles (two solo) on 50 percent of the Seahawks' defensive snaps.

Love (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Love was dinged-up in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers but was still able to play 100 percent of the defensive snaps in that contest. He should resume his role as an every-down safety against Pittsburgh after racking up 10 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Week 1.

Witherspoon (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Witherspoon played all 76 defensive snaps last Sunday against San Francisco despite suffering the knee injury in that contest. Derion Kendrick, Shaquill Griffin and Nehemiah Pritchett will be in for elevated roles at cornerback Sunday behind Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe if Witherspoon is deemed inactive.

Gardner (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After it was previously reported that Gardner was limited in Friday's practice, he actually logged a full session and is cleared to play Sunday. Gardner played all 56 defensive snaps against the Steelers last Sunday, recording a pair of tackles and two pass breakups. He'll see a lot of Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer against the Bills.

Porter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

After injuring his hamstring in last Sunday's Week 1 win over the Jets, Porter logged a trio of DNPs this week and will miss at least one contest. Brandin Echols is expected to be the next man up at cornerback for Pittsburgh alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

McKee (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

McKee got in a limited practice Friday, giving him a chance to back up Jalen Hurts versus Kansas City. If McKee is unable to suit up, Sam Howell will once again handle QB2 duties for the Eagles.

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

After back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Latu got in a limited session Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Week 2. The 15th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Latu played 67 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Dolphins, logging one tackle and his first career interception.
