  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Spectator for practice Tuesday

    Reed (neck) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Reed flew back to Green Bay after he was hospitalized overnight in New Jersey following Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets. He exited on the Packers' opening possession of that game due to a neck injury and needed to be stretchered off the field before he was taken to a hospital. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has yet to provide a timeline for Reed's return to action, but at the very least, the fourth-year wideout appears unlikely to play Thursday versus the Falcons.

  • Falcons' Brian Robinson: Upgrades to full activity

    Robinson (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Listed as a limited participant for Atlanta's walk-through session Monday, Robinson was able to take every rep during Tuesday's session to clear up any concern about his availability heading into Thursday's game at Green Bay. While working in a backup role behind Bijan Robinson for the Falcons' first two games, Brian Robinson has carried 20 times for 82 yards and has recorded two receptions for 16 yards.

  • Tua Tagovailoa QB | ATL

    Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Turns in full practice

    Tagovailoa (oblique) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Tagovailoa took part in his first full practice since Sept. 9, after he sustained an oblique injury a day later that kept him from playing in either of the Falcons' first two games of the season. The 28-year-old had been poised to direct the offense in Week 1, but he'll now have to settle for the No. 2 role with Michael Penix (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut as the team's starting quarterback Thursday versus the Packers.

  • Case Keenum QB | CHI

    Bears' Case Keenum: Could get Week 3 start

    Keenum could start Monday's game against the Eagles with both Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Tyson Bagent (concussion) potentially unavailable, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    A healthy inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback in the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings this past Sunday, Keenum may suddenly be called upon to make his first NFL start since 2023. Head coach Ben Johnson noted Monday that he didn't expect Williams to practice this week but wasn't willing to officially rule him out yet from playing against the Eagles. That would line Bagent up to receive all the first-team reps in practice, but his surprise placement in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Tuesday puts him at risk of joining Williams in street clothes in Week 3. While he represents an experienced fallback plan, the 38-year-old Keenum would likely be limited to a game-manager role as a starter, which could hinder the fantasy prospects of the Bears' pass catchers but lead to increased volume for running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Giants' Jameis Winston: Extended starting opportunity awaits

    Winston could be in line for an extended run as the Giants' starting quarterback after Jaxson Dart sustained a more serious knee injury than anticipated in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

    After exiting in the first quarter Monday, Dart received a preliminary diagnosis of a sprained MCL, an injury that typically entails a multi-week absence. Unfortunately for Dart, follow-up tests Tuesday seemingly revealed additional damage to his knee that could potentially lead to season-ending surgery. Dart will likely receive additional medical opinions before a treatment plan and recovery timeline is established, but with an extended absence on tap, the door is open for Winston to direct the New York offense beginning with Sunday's game versus Tennessee. Winston averaged a healthy 8.6 yards per attempt between two starts and one brief appearance off the bench with the Giants a season ago, but he was highly inefficient in relief of Dart in his 2026 debut Monday, completing just 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.

  • Jaxson Dart QB | NYG

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: May need season-ending surgery

    Dart is facing the possibility of season-ending surgery after further testing Tuesday revealed that the left knee injury he sustained in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams is worse than originally anticipated, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The Giants had previously been optimistic that Dart would avoid an extended absence after initial scans following Monday's game suggested that he sustained an MCL sprain in his knee, but follow-up tests appear to have revealed more significant damage. Dart is likely to seek out additional medical opinions before deciding on a treatment plan for his injury, but if surgery is deemed necessary, he would likely be lost for the remainder of the 2026 campaign. Jameis Winston is poised to direct the Giants offense in Week 3 versus the Titans and could be in line for an extended run as the team's starting quarterback.

  • Kenny Moore CB | PHI

    Kenny Moore: Joins forces with Eagles

    Moore agreed Tuesday to sign with the Eagles' practice squad, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

    Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Moore will eventually be promoted to the Eagles' 53-man roster and will receive a one-year, $3 million deal. A 2021 Pro Bowl selection, Moore spent most of his past nine seasons in Indianapolis as a slot corner, but he's expected to see snaps both at that position and at safety once he joins the Eagles.

  • Packers' Zach Bako-Bewele: Needs season-ending surgery

    Bako-Bewele said he sustained a complete tear of his right patellar tendon in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets and will undergo season-ending surgery Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Widely viewed as the Packers' top offensive lineman, Bako-Bewele will face a roughly nine-month recovery from surgery, which he previously required for the same knee after suffering a partial patellar tendon tear last December. Anthony Belton is expected to take over as the Packers' new starting right tackle in place of Bako-Bewele, who will eye a return to the field in Week 1 of the 2027 season.

  • Tyson Bagent QB | CHI

    Bears' Tyson Bagent: Enters concussion protocol

    Bagent was diagnosed with a concussion and placed in the five-step protocol Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    With Caleb Williams viewed as week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Vikings, Bagent was the leading candidate to start Monday against the Eagles. However, his availability for Week 3 is suddenly up in the air. Third-stringer Case Keenum is left as the only healthy quarterback on the roster and would start against the Eagles if neither Williams nor Bagent is cleared to play.

  • A.J. Terrell CB | ATL

    Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Lands on IR with groin issue

    The Falcons placed Terrell (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Terrell will be sidelined for at least the Falcons' next four games after sustaining a groin injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers. In Week 2, C.J. Henderson ended up filling in for Terrell at the boundary corner spot opposite Mike Hughes and appears primed to make regular starts so long as Terrell is out of action. The 27-year-old Terrell totaled six tackles and two pass breakups through the Falcons' first two contests of 2026.
