Oliver (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Falcons.

Mainly a blocking specialist for the Vikings, Oliver played 48 percent of the offensive snaps in last Monday night's win over the Bears and caught his lone target for five yards.

Reed (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Reed started last Sunday's game against the 49ers and recorded five tackles (two solo) on 50 percent of the Seahawks' defensive snaps.

Love (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Love was dinged-up in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers but was still able to play 100 percent of the defensive snaps in that contest. He should resume his role as an every-down safety against Pittsburgh after racking up 10 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Week 1.

Witherspoon (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Witherspoon played all 76 defensive snaps last Sunday against San Francisco despite suffering the knee injury in that contest. Derion Kendrick, Shaquill Griffin and Nehemiah Pritchett will be in for elevated roles at cornerback Sunday behind Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe if Witherspoon is deemed inactive.

Gardner (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After it was previously reported that Gardner was limited in Friday's practice, he actually logged a full session and is cleared to play Sunday. Gardner played all 56 defensive snaps against the Steelers last Sunday, recording a pair of tackles and two pass breakups. He'll see a lot of Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer against the Bills.

Porter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

After injuring his hamstring in last Sunday's Week 1 win over the Jets, Porter logged a trio of DNPs this week and will miss at least one contest. Brandin Echols is expected to be the next man up at cornerback for Pittsburgh alongside Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey.

McKee (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

McKee got in a limited practice Friday, giving him a chance to back up Jalen Hurts versus Kansas City. If McKee is unable to suit up, Sam Howell will once again handle QB2 duties for the Eagles.

Latu (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

After back-to-back DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, Latu got in a limited session Friday, giving him a chance to suit up Week 2. The 15th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, Latu played 67 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Dolphins, logging one tackle and his first career interception.

Taylor (ankle) logged a full practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Taylor seems more likely to play than not based on his positive trend in practice participation, as he didn't practice Wednesday before being limited Thursday and upgrading to all activity Friday. The rookie second-round pick already sits atop the depth chart at tight end, but if Taylor's limited or unavailable Sunday, the Jets would lean more heavily on some combination of Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smartt and Jelani Woods.

Nwangwu (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu exited the Jets' season opener due to a hamstring injury and wasn't able to practice in any capacity leading up to the team's Week 2 home game against the Bills. With Nwangwu sidelined and Xavier Gipson having been waived earlier in the week, Arian Smith and the recently signed Isaiah Williams are the top candidates to return kickoffs Sunday.
