Shrader (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Shrader appeared to have injured his groin during pregame warmups, as punter Rigoberto Sanchez was the one who booted the ball for the Colts on the opening kickoff. Sanchez could handle all of the kicking duties Sunday if Shrader is not cleared to return.

Bagent, who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, cleared concussion protocol Sunday and will serve as the Bears' No. 2 quarterback in Week 3, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

With Caleb Williams sitting out Monday due to a Grade 2 right hamstring strain that's expected to keep him out for multiple weeks, Bagent had been the next man up to start at quarterback. However, after coming on in relief of the injured Williams in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Bagent entered concussion protocol following that game and was held out of the Bears' first two practices of Week 3. Bagent returned to the field Saturday as a limited participant before being cleared by an independent neurologist Sunday, but because he didn't have much involvement in the game plan this week, the Bears will turn to third-stringer Case Keenum to start Monday. Unless Keenum performs better than anticipated against a strong Eagles defense, Bagent will likely draw the start Week 4 versus the Jets.

Keenum is in line to start Monday's game against the Eagles, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

Top quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Monday's contest, and while Glazer relays that No. 2 option Tyson Bagent has cleared concussion protocol, the Bears plan to keep Bagent in the backup role this week due to his lack of involvement in practice leading up to the game. The stage is thus set for the 38-year-old Keenum to see his first NFL regular-season action since 2023, when he appeared in two games with the Texans. With Williams sidelined, the Bears could opt for a more run-heavy game plan under Keenum, who may not see enough passing volume to warrant consideration in fantasy lineups outside of leagues that have a Superflex spot or start two quarterbacks.

The Ravens continue to view Flowers (hamstring) as a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's tilt with the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, and the wide receiver is expected to be limited to "somewhere in the realm of 20 to 30 plays" if he suits up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After turning in a limited practice Friday, Flowers went through a pregame workout Sunday and appeared to be moving around well while testing out both his left hamstring and the soggy field conditions in Brazil. The Ravens are still contemplating whether to make Flowers available for the Week 3 contest, with an official call on his status expected to arrive when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Flowers gets clearance to play, he looks like he could handle well under a full workload, making him a less appealing fantasy option than he normally would be as the Ravens' No. 1 wide receiver.

Hill (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Hill drew the doubtful tag after not practicing during Week 3 prep, and the veteran defensive tackle will not be on the Bengals' active roster for Sunday's AFC North tilt. His next chance to play is Week 4 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Banks (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Banks practiced in a limited capacity leading into Week 3, but will miss his second straight week due to a calf injury. Colton Hood should see more playing time in his absence.

Ossai (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Ossai was trending in the right direction for Week 3 after logging a full practice Friday, and the veteran pass rusher has been given the green light to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. It will be Ossai's 2026 regular-season debut, and he's expected to serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind starters Will McDonald and Kingsley Enagbare.

Reed-Adams (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

An elbow injury limited Reed-Adams' practice participation all week, and he has not been given clearance by medical staff to play Sunday. The rookie seventh-rounder's next chance to suit up is Week 4 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Nubin (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nubin was a limited participant in practice every day leading into Week 3. With the 25-year-old out, Jason Pinnock will likely have a larger role, with Ar'Darius Washington also seeing a higher snap count against Tennessee.

Cook (coach's decision) is inactive but will be the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Cook will once again be the emergency QB3 behind Malik Willis and Kyle McCord. As such, Cook is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Willis and McCord leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
