Washington turned five carries into 54 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints.

Washington was only on the field for 11 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, but he still left his mark on the contest. Most notably, the running back broke loose for a 36-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter. Washington is a distant No. 2 option behind Ashton Jeanty in the backfield, but he has now rushed 15 times for 102 yards and a touchdown over three contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Carmona (ankle) is expected to miss a few weeks, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Carmona sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Giants, and it was serious enough for him to be carted off the field. With Jackson Slater (foot) also suffering an injury during Sunday's loss, the Titans could find themselves short-handed at guard for the time being.

Mathis' three-game suspension has been lifted and the defensive tackle has returned to the Bills' active roster, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reported Monday.

The Bills get a three-day roster exemption, giving the team until Thursday to reduce the roster to 53 players. Mathis played six regular-season games for the Bills in 2025, logging 13 tackles (four solo) over 119 defensive snaps.

Strange caught three of five targets for 32 yards during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

Most of Strange's production came on a 23-yard catch midway through the second quarter, which put the Jaguars just outside the red zone and helped lead to a 10-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Jakobi Meyers five plays later. Strange finished Sunday's game tied for the second-most targets and catches and third in receiving yards behind Meyers (64) and Parker Washington (32). Strange is off to a somewhat slow start to the 2026 season, though he's competing against Meyers, Washington and Brian Thomas for targets in the passing game. Strange will take a 7-72-1 receiving line (on 10 targets) into a Week 4 road clash against the Bengals.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Demmings will miss some time due to a hamstring injury, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Demmings injured his hamstring during the second half of Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and is now expected to miss the Week 4 matchup versus Miami, at minimum. The rookie fifth-round pick failed to record any tackles across his first three outings and should continue to serve a depth role once healthy.

Boston caught two passes on four passes for 41 yards during the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion.

The rookie second-rounder was held without a catch until the fourth quarter, when he caught 28- and 13-yard passes from Deshaun Watson before the duo connected on a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter to extend the Browns' lead to three points. Boston was unable to record a touchdown catch for a third-straight game, though he still finished Sunday's contest as the Browns' second-leading receiver behind tight end Harold Fannin (51). Boston, Fannin and rookie first-rounder KC Concepcion will continue to serve as Watson's top targets in the passing game, with Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond working in rotation. Boston will take a 9-195-2 receiving line (on 15 targets) into Thursday's AFC North showdown against the Steelers.

Powers-Johnson (groin) is being evaluated to reveal the extent of his injury, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Powers-Johnson was questionable to return to Sunday's win over the Saints and was never able to reenter the contest. More clarity on the severity of the offensive lineman's injury and potential recovery timetable should be gleaned in coming days.

The Dolphins released Ferrell from their practice squad Monday.

Ferrell had already been elevated the maximum three times this season, so Miami would have needed to sign him to the active roster for him to be eligible to play again. The 2019 first-round pick logged three tackles (one solo) across his three outings and will now look to catch on with another team.

The Packers placed Bako-Bewele (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bako-Bewele sustained a complete tear of his right patellar tendon in the Packers' Week 2 overtime win over the Jets. The right tackle is out for the season and has thus been placed on injured reserve. Laken Tomlinson is the new reserve offensive lineman for the team, and Anthony Belton is expected to be the starting right tackle for the remainder of the 2026 season.

Ferguson caught three of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown while also losing a fumble during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Ravens.

Ferguson was able to reach the end zone for the second straight week, connecting with quarterback Dak Prescott for a 19-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end did have a mishap early in the fourth quarter, losing a fumble after reeling in a short pass from Prescott. Ferguson has now caught nine of 11 targets for 72 yards and three touchdowns over three contests this season, and he'll face a tough test against the Texans dominant defense in Week 4.
