Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Burrow was impressive throughout the majority of the afternoon, taking just one sack from Pittsburgh's aggressive defense and connecting with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki for his trio of scoring tosses. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets overall on an afternoon he entered already down Andrei Iosivas (IR, thumb) and during which he then lost promising rookie Colbie Young (knee). However, a would-be game-tying or game-winning drive was also short-circuited by the franchise signal-caller, as he lost the handle on the ball on a sack with under a minute remaining, snuffing out any chance of Cincinnati being able to at least force overtime. The highly untimely turnover aside, Burrow has looked comfortable with an offensive approach that has him under center more often than previous seasons, and he'll next take aim at the Jaguars in a Week 4 home matchup next Sunday.

Hall (thigh) outlined that he "felt something" when running before departing Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Hall was forced out of the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a leg injury while being tackled. The running back was unable to return to the contest, and he will likely undergo additional imaging to determine the severity of the injury. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Braelon Allen would stand to operate as the team's No. 1 option in the backfield.

McMillan (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

McMillan torqued his left knee in the first quarter, and he was promptly removed from the contest. In his absence, rookie wideout Ted Hurst will stand to see an increase in opportunities versus Minnesota.

Rice caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Rice was the only Kansas City pass catcher with more than three targets, and he paced the team in receiving yards as well, but Patrick Mahomes' two touchdown passes went to Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelce. Rice's target total has climbed from two in Week 1 to six in Week 2 and now nine in Week 3, so his usage has been trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 4 road game against the Raiders. He averaged 9.8 targets per game in eight appearances last season.

Walker rushed 18 times for 70 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Walker recorded a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game for the second time in three outings as a member of the Chiefs. He capped Kansas City's opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown run just 2:06 into the game before adding a five-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Walker has racked up 76 touches while thriving in a workhorse role for his new team heading into a Week 4 road tilt in Vegas.

Dennis will start at inside linebacker against the Vikings on Sunday due to the absence of Jeremiah Trotter (shoulder), Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Dennis has mostly worked on special teams this season and has only two tackles (one solo) through two games. However, with Trotter sidelined by a shoulder issue, Dennis will start next to Alex Anzalone for Sunday's game, with Christian Rozeboom providing depth at the position. Dennis was a regular starter for the Buccaneers last year, when he logged 101 tackles (66 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception) across 16 regular-season games.

Cook (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Cook left in the first half of Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he was back on the field for the second half after being cleared by medical staff.

Edwards (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

Edwards couldn't put any weight on his leg and needed assistance off the field, and with the game nearing its end, his day is likely over. If that's indeed the case, Tommy Togiai and Jaden Crumedy are candidates to see more snaps the rest of the way.

Echols is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Echols took a hit to the head while on special teams but was able to walk off the field under his own power. He hasn't seen much playing time on defense this season, but if he can't return, then Daylen Everette and Doneiko Slaughter would be the primary depth options at cornerback.

Mayer is projected to return to a No. 2 role in Sunday's game against the Saints due to Brock Bowers (knee) being ruled active for the contest.

Mayer filled in for his star teammate over the first two games of the season, serving as a solid complementary option for Kirk Cousins while generating a 9-55-0 line on 11 targets. However, Bowers' availability Sunday naturally relegates Mayer back to his customary backup role, one in which he may find targets hard to come by against New Orleans.
