Swift (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Earlier reports indicated Swift would be playing through his quadriceps issue, and that is now official. The veteran back should fill his usual lead-back role and will aim to capitalize on a Cowboys defense that's allowed 121.0 rushing yards per game through the first two contests of the season.

Williams has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a shoulder injury.

Williams suffered the injury during the first half of Sunday's game. After being evaluated in the locker room during halftime, the injury has been deemed severe enough that he won't return, and he will finish with four tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks. Cam Jones should see more work at outside linebacker the rest of the way due to Williams' injury.

Henley (illness) is active for Sunday's AFC West clash against Denver, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Henley logged a DNP/LP/DNP progression during the practice week, but he's feeling well enough to suit up Sunday. The third-year linebacker has had a great start to the campaign, tallying 18 tackles -- including 2.0 sacks -- and an interception through two weeks.

Brown was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a shoulder injury.

Before that, Brown had caught two of his three targets for seven yards. In his absence, Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter and Parker Washington figure to lead the Jaguars' Week 3 WR corps.

Izien has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a quadriceps injury.

Izien picked up the injury in the first half, and it has been deemed severe enough that he won't return to Sunday's contest. Kaevon Merriweather will be the Bucs' top reserve safety behind Tykee Smith and Antoine Winfield for the rest of the game due Izien's injury.

Hart (hip) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 battle against the Broncos.

Hart was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but that won't be enough for him to take the field Sunday. Benjamin St-Juste is getting a start at cornerback in Hart's stead.

Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Harris suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He went to the locker room to have the injury evaluated, and it is severe enough that he won't return. Percy Butler and Jeremy Reaves are the top options to see more work in the secondary alongside Quan Martin at safety in Harris' absence.

Neal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Neal entered the weekend with just two rushes for nine yards on the campaign, and he won't get a chance to add to that Sunday. Instead, Velus Jones -- who also serves as New Orleans' top kick returner -- is slated to work as the team's No. 3 RB behind Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller.

Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a right thumb injury.

Perine went to the locker room late in the second quarter, where medical staff will evaluate the severity of his thumb injury. Rookie sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks should see some snaps out of the backfield behind Chase Brown for as long as Perine is out of the game.

Mayer (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Upon his exit from the contest, Mayer was reported by the team as being evaluated for a head injury and questionable to return. Now that it's been confirmed that the tight end sustained a concussion, he'll need to advance through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to have a chance to suit up next Sunday against the Bears.
