Wright (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Wright has been limited to special-teams work through the first two games of the regular season, and he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 3 while rookie D'Angelo Ponds suits up. Wright's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 4, though there doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the sixth-year pro.

Campbell (ankle/hip/knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Campbell drew the questionable tag for Sunday's home opener after being limited in all three practices during Week 3 prep, but he's not been cleared by medical staff to play against Carolina. As such, Mekhi Blackmon will start at outside cornerback opposite Denzel Ward, and Campbell's next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Steelers.

Delpit (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Delpit expressed optimism Saturday that he would be available for Week 3 after working through a shoulder issue during practice, and the veteran safety has been given the green light to play. The 2020 second-rounder has eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense through two regular-season games.

Green (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the emergency third quarterback against the Panthers on Sunday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Because he's serving as the emergency QB3, the rookie sixth-rounder is prohibited from taking the field Sunday unless both starter Deshaun Watson and backup Shedeur Sanders were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Wright (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Wright was considered doubtful for this contest after missing practice Friday due to a foot issue and a stinger. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 4 against the Vikings. In the meantime, Ollie Gordon could see more involvement behind De'Von Achane.

With Tyler Nubin (calf) inactive, Washington will start at safety against the Titans on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nubin was not cleared by medical staff to play Sunday, so Washington and Jevon Holland will be the Giants' starting safeties for Week 3, with Jason Pinnock and Elijah Campbell providing depth at the position. Washington has two tackles (one solo) through two regular-season games, and the last time he was a regular starter on defense was during the second half of the 2024 campaign as a member of the Ravens.

Grupe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

The Jets have decided to elevate Jason Sanders from the practice squad, leaving Grupe inactive for the third consecutive week. This puts the 27-year-old's spot on the team in jeopardy, however, he could be in line to start in future weeks should Sanders struggle.

Wiley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site site reports.

Despite being healthy, Wiley didn't see any action in the Chiefs' first two games of the 2026 campaign. That trend will continue Sunday versus the Dolphins, meaning his next opportunity to get involved will come in Week 4 against the Raiders.

Blackmon will start at outside cornerback against the Panthers on Sunday due to the absence of Tyson Campbell (ankle/hip/knee), Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Campbell will be held out of Sunday's game while nursing multiple lower-body injuries, so Blackmon and Denzel Ward will be the starting outside cornerbacks for the Browns in Week 3. Blackmon started in 11 of 17 regular-season games with the Colts in 2025 and finished the year with 64 tackles (50 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and seven pass defenses (including two interceptions).

Carter (coach's decision) is inactive against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Carter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but he will observe Sunday's game in street clothes after Tyjae Spears (ankle) was cleared to play. Spears, rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton and Julius Chestnut will all provide depth in the Titans' backfield behind Tony Pollard for Week 3.
