Reed (collarbone) will have surgery next week and hopes to return in November, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Packers diagnosed Reed with a broken collarbone following Thursday's win over Washington. He'll presumably be placed on injured reserve soon, which could open up more playing time for fellow Green Bay wideouts Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams and Malik Heath. The team also may get Christian Watson (knee) back before Reed, who was playing through a Jones fracture in his foot prior to the collarbone fracture.

Judkins is viewed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

In terms of Judkins' chances of suiting up versus Baltimore, coach Kevin Stefanski told Oyefusi on Friday, "We'll work through that over the next 24 hours. ... I do think he's in good shape." The Browns were granted a two-game roster exemption for the 2025 second-rounder ahead of Week 1, with Zac Jackson of The Athletic noting that the team has until Saturday afternoon to activate Judkins and make a corresponding roster move to pave the way for him to be able to play against the Ravens. If Judkins is active Sunday, he'd bolster a Cleveland backfield that was led last weekend by Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford.

Conner is in line for an increased role Sunday against the Patriots, as Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday that Darren Waller (hip) will be out, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Conner saw a near-even snap share with Julian Hill (59 percent to Hill's 57 percent) in Waller's absence against the Colts in Week 1, and while Conner got all four of the official targets among Miami's tight ends, Hill did catch a two-point conversion. With Waller missing a second consecutive game to begin the season, Conner is poised to remain a secondary target for Tua Tagovailoa behind wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (shoulder), as well as running back De'Von Achane.

Hall (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Hall dealt with a knee issue for much of the summer and wasn't activated from the active/PUP list until Aug. 27. He's still working his way back into game shape.

Gardner (groin) will be limited at practice again Friday, but head coach Aaron Glenn expects Gardner to play Sunday against the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Gardner may wind up with a questionable designation when the Jets release game statuses for Sunday's home game against the Bills, but the star cornerback appears on track to suit up. Gardner would be sorely missed if he can't play, as free-agent acquisition Brandon Stephens struggled mightily across from Gardner in the Week 1 loss to the Steelers.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Jones injured his hamstring in the Colts' Week 1 win over the Dolphins after playing just six snaps on special teams. With both Charvarius Ward (concussion) and Jones out, however, the Colts' cornerback depth will be tested behind Xavien Howard and slot corner Kenny Moore.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Simon (concussion) will not play in Sunday's game versus Carolina, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

The fourth-round rookie linebacker played 10 snaps on special teams in Arizona's Week 1 win over New Orleans but was concussed on a kickoff in the second half.

Jones (oblique) won't play Sunday against the Patriots, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Jones was deemed week-to-week after getting hurt in this past Sunday's loss to the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll miss at least one game due to his oblique injury. His next chance to play will come Thursday in a Week 3 trip to Buffalo. Rookie draft picks Kenneth Grant (first round) and Zeek Biggers (seventh round) could see more playing time at defensive tackle in Jones' absence.

Kirk (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kirk also missed Thursday's session, which gives him one more chance to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. If Kirk is ruled out for the contest, look for some combo of Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson and Jaylin Noel to log added slot reps alongside fellow WRs Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins.

Oliver (foot) won't play Sunday against the Jets, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

McDermott added that Oliver got stepped on in practice Wednesday. Oliver was subsequently seen wearing a walking boot in the locker room Thursday. The defensive tackle will need to recover quickly to avoid missing additional action, as the Bills will have a quick turnaround before hosting the Dolphins on Thursday in Week 3.
