Colby Parkinson TE | LAR
Rams' Colby Parkinson: Status in question for Week 3
Parkinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Parkinson officially went down as a non-participant on all three of the Rams' Week 3 injury reports due to a knee issue, but coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register that the tight end was going to take part in Friday's jog-through and was "trending in the right direction" ahead of Sunday's matchup. Ultimately, Parkinson's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available he may not be able to handle the 70-plus percent snap share he handled in both of L.A.'s first two games of the campaign.

Minkah Fitzpatrick FS | NYJ
Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Out again in Week 3
Fitzpatrick (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus Detroit, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Fitzpatrick was injured in the 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1. He didn't play in the 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2, so he will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest. The veteran's next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 4 in Chicago. In the meantime, Andre Cisco is in line to make his second straight start.

Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ
Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Unlikely to play Week 3
Nwangwu (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.
It looks like Nwangwu will miss each of the Jets' first three games of the regular season due to a back injury he picked up in a practice prior to the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans. He was a DNP in all three practices during Week 3 prep, so a return to practice in at least a limited capacity would be a positive step in Nwangwu's recovery. Isaiah Williams will continue to serve as the Jets' primary returner on kickoffs and punts for as long as Nwangwu is sidelined.

Mike Evans WR | SF
49ers' Mike Evans: Questionable for Week 3
Evans (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Evans returned to drills Friday after sitting out the previous two days due to a hip injury, which has left his status up in the air ahead of Sunday's matchup. His status should receive some clarity about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Chris Bell WR | MIA
Dolphins' Chris Bell: Good to go for Week 3
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
With fellow rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Bell took on a larger role in Miami's passing game despite recently dealing with fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Doctors told him it isn't a major concern, and Bell then told reporters Thursday that he plans to play Week 3.

Nicholas Singleton RB | TEN
Titans' Nicholas Singleton: Could see more involvement Week 3
Head coach Robert Saleh indicated Friday that the Titans will give Singleton more carries in the team's Week 3 road tilt against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder has taken a back seat to both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, with Singleton being a healthy scratch Week 1 before logging four carries for 10 yards during the Titans' Week 2 loss against the Eagles. Spears is questionable for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, and his absence would open the door for Singleton to operate as the Titans' RB2 behind Pollard. That said, even if Spears is cleared to play, it sounds like the Titans' coaching staff wants Singleton more involved in the offense.

Zach Charbonnet RB | SEA
Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet: May practice next week
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports.
Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury.

Jadarian Price RB | SEA
Seahawks' Jadarian Price: Ready for Sunday
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price (shoulder) received "a ton of reps" in practice this week and will be "full go" Sunday in Washington, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Macdonald may be overstating how much work Price was able to handle in practice this week considering the rookie running back was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full practice Friday has him in the clear for Sunday's contest after he left the Seahawks' Week 2 win at Arizona due to a chest injury. Through the first two games of his career, Price has turned 26 touches into 118 yards from scrimmage, but he's still awaiting his initial end-zone visit.

Jonah Coleman RB | DEN
Broncos' Jonah Coleman: Won't play this week
Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
A reporter spotted Coleman on the field for Friday's practice, but he apparently didn't end up participating as the Broncos ultimately gave him the 'DNP' designation. It does seem Coleman could be back as soon as Week 4, though it's not clear what his role would be. For now, Denver's backfield work will largely fall to J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey against the Rams.

Sam Darnold QB | SEA
Seahawks' Sam Darnold: Returning to action Sunday
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Darnold (glute) is "going to play" Sunday at Washington, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Darnold thus will miss only seven-plus quarters after initial reports indicated that he could be out up to one month due to the right glute injury he picked up in the Seahawks' Week 1 victory against the Patriots. Considering he logged a full practice Thursday, he'll supplant Drew Lock in the starting lineup this weekend, looking to build upon his one completion on two pass attempts for 13 yards so far this season.
