Sweat recorded just one tackle (one solo) and one QB hit in Arizona's 20-13 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Sweat signed a massive four-year, $76.4 million deal with the Cardinals back in March after he had a big Super Bowl performance with the Eagles, nothing 2.5 sacks against the Chiefs. The Cardinals are banking on Sweat keying their pass rush in 2025. He'll look to get going in Week 2 against Bryce Young and the Panthers.

Bonitto recorded three tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-12 win versus the Titans.

Denver recorded six sacks in Week 1, thanks in large part to the constant disruption Bonitto was able to cause. Based on how much time he spent near rookie quarterback Cam Ward, it's almost surprising he didn't get more sacks Sunday. He might not get quite as many opportunities to rush the passer in Week 2 against an Indianapolis team that will try to lean on the run game.

Way (back) was estimated as a limited participant in practice Tuesday, though Washington head coach Dan Quinn implied the punter will be available to play Thursday against Green Bay, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Way hurt his back in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Giants and was estimated as DNP on Monday. His upgrade to an estimation of limited Tuesday suggests that the veteran punter is trending in the right direction, as does Quinn's seeming confidence in Way's ability to suit up Thursday. Still, Washington worked out a pair of free-agent punters (Eddie Czaplicki and Mitch Wishnowsky) on Tuesday, so Way may not be fully in the clear.

Thompson recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's win over New Orleans.

Thompson started at safety next to Budda Baker and played all 75 defensive snaps. Thompson started all 15 regular-season games in which he appeared last season, finishing with 98 tackles (61 solo), three pass breakups and two fumble recoveries.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Tom (oblique) is considered a game-time decision for the Packers' Week 2 clash against the Commanders on Thursday, per NFL.com.

Tom suffered an oblique injury during the Packers' Week 1 win against the Lions on Sunday. He's been estimated as a DNP in the first two practices of the week, though LaFleur relayed that the Packers will give Tom "all the way up to game time" to see if the 2022 fourth-rounder can play Thursday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Darian Kinnard would likely replace Tom at right tackle if the latter is unable to play.

Cincinnati signed Foskey to its practice squad Tuesday.

Foskey played in 27 regular-season games for the Saints over the past two years, with most of his work coming on special teams. He didn't make New Orleans 53-man roster out of training camp and will now get a look with the Bengals with an aim toward getting back to active game-day status.

The Eagles signed Majors (knee) to their practice squad Tuesday.

Less than a week after getting waived by the Buccaneers with an injury settlement, Majors is already getting another chance with a different team. After starting left guard Landon Dickerson left Thursday's game versus the Cowboys early with a back injury, it makes some sense that Philadelphia is trying to add some organizational depth on the interior of the offensive line.

The Bengals placed Patrick (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Patrick suffered a calf injury during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Browns and wasn't able to return to the game. His placement on IR means he'll need to sit out at least four games. Dalton Risner will likely move into a starting role at right guard in Patrick's stead.

The Bengals signed Pennel from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

Pennel didn't make Cincinnati's 53-man roster out of training camp but landed on the practice squad and was elevated for Week 1. Against Cleveland in the season-opener, he logged 21 snaps on defense and four on special teams, finishing with four tackles (one solo). Now that he's on the Bengals' active roster, Pennel should provide depth along the team's defensive line.

The Dolphins signed Strange from the Browns' practice squad to the active roster Tuesday.

The move solidifies the Dolphins' depth at guard after James Daniels (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve. Strange caught on with the Browns' practice squad in late August after failing to make the Patriots' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. The 2022 first-rounder will step into a reserve role on Miami's offensive line.
