Hoffman will start at right guard against the Bengals on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hoffman operated in a depth role through the first two regular-season games, but he'll work with the first-team offense Sunday as the Steelers overhaul the right side of the offensive line, with Max Iheanachor starting at right tackle. Spencer Anderson and Dylan Cook will be the depth options behind Hoffman and Iheanachor for Week 3.

Iheanachor will start at right tackle against the Bengals on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Iheanachor played a total of four offensive snaps through the first two games of the regular season while serving as a depth option, but the rookie first-rounder will be a starter Sunday for the first time in his short NFL career. The Steelers are overhauling their entire right side of the offensive line, with Brock Hoffman getting the nod at right guard next to Iheanachor.

Moore (shoulder) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

When Moore was listed as questionable for Week 3 action Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wide receiver would be a game-time decision. Moore had sandwiched limited sessions around an absence Thursday prior to those comments due to an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 2 against the Lions, but Schefter's report Sunday morning indicates that he'll avoid the Bills' inactive list about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Conner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Conner was limited in practice all week by a knee injury and initially drew the doubtful tag following Friday's session. Now that he's been officially ruled out, Jaden Hicks figures to join Alohi Gilman as the Chiefs' starting safeties for Sunday's game, with Xavier Nwankpa providing depth at the position. Conner's next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Clowney has been progressing in his recovery from a bone bruise in his knee that has ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Clowney failed to participate in any of the three practices during Week 3 prep, resulting in him being ruled out for a second consecutive game. A return to practice, even in a limited capacity, would have the veteran pass rusher potentially on track to return for a Week 4 home tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 4. In Clowney's absence, Sabastian Harsh and Dominique Robinson will both see a slight uptick in defensive snaps while operating in rotational roles behind starters Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson.

Daniels (elbow) is expected to return to action for the Commanders in "three weeks or sooner," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn had already noted Friday that Daniels wasn't in consideration for a stint on injured reserve, but Rapoport's report offers a clearer timeline for the third-year quarterback's return to the lineup. Marcus Mariota will start Sunday's game against the Seahawks and will most likely continue to direct the Commanders offense in Week 4 versus the Colts, but Daniels could be a realistic candidate to rejoin the lineup thereafter. Rapoport notes that whenever he returns, Daniels will wear a brace to protect the dislocated elbow on his left (non-throwing) arm.

Coleman (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

After Coleman sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wideout would be a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's contest. The third-year player has apparently made positive strides in his recovery from the ankle injury following Friday's practice, and barring a setback, he should be cleared to play ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Coleman has recorded seven receptions for 64 yards on seven targets through the Bills' first two games of the season, and he could be in store for more volume if fellow wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) -- whom Brady also termed as a game-time decision -- ends up sitting out Sunday.

Williams, who is ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which doctors consider a 3-to-4-week injury, Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport of ESPN report.

Williams sustained the injury in last Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings and was unable to practice in any fashion this week. Head coach Ben Johnson had previously been terming Williams as week-to-week, but Schefter and Rapoport's report offers some clarity on what potential recovery timeline the third-year quarterback might be facing. The report notes that the 3-to-4 range is merely an estimated for Grade 2 strains, so if Williams proves to be a quick healer, it's possible that he can return to action for Chicago sooner than expected. At the very least, the Bears will have to get by with either Tyson Bagent (concussion) or Case Keenum as their starting quarterback versus the Eagles.

Spears (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, will be monitored pregame, but the Titans are hopeful he'll be able to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Spears managed just one limited session (Friday) this week due to an ankle injury that left him questionable for Sunday, but rainy and windy conditions at MetLife Stadium seemingly will be a factor in the decision surrounding the running back. If Spears is inhibited or sidelined, Tony Pollard would serve as the Titans' unquestioned lead runner, with rookie fifth-rounder Nicholas Singleton likely stepping into the No. 2 role.

Nacua (hip), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Denver, has been hampered by a groin injury that has impacted his explosiveness, and while the Rams haven't taken surgery "entirely off the table," the issue is considered "short term," with a return possible sooner rather than later, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Rams have listed Nacua with a hip injury on official practice reports since Friday, Sept. 18, a span in which he hasn't practiced while head coach Sean McVay termed the issue "soreness in his groin" unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he tended to in training camp. McVay also told Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that if Nacua doesn't play this weekend, he likely will be back Week 4 at Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 4, barring a setback. Assuming Nacua is inactive this Sunday, Davante Adams will handle No. 1 WR duties for a second contest in a row.
