Bell is set to start Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The Cowboys' secondary has already caught the injury bug two weeks into the regular season. Both of the team's free safeties, Malik Hooker (forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), will likely miss Sunday's game. This leaves Bell (the backup strong safety) to suit up across from Jalen Thompson to try and slow down a Ravens offense quarterbacked by Lamar Jackson.

Henderson is expected to step into a starting role at cornerback in Week 3, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Henderson has compiled five solo tackles and two passes defensed while playing 66 snaps on defense and 16 snaps with the special-teams unit over Atlanta's first two games of the season. The cornerback will now take over a starting role in the secondary after A.J. Terrell (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Tracy played only one offensive snap during the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Tracy's lone offensive play -- a carry on which he lost three yards in the fourth quarter -- didn't end up counting due to a penalty. The third-year running back did play 16 snaps on special teams and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards. That appears to be Tracy's path to playing time at the moment, as he is firmly behind Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Najee Harris in the backfield pecking order.

Campbell (ankle/hip) exited Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers and did not return to the contest, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone reported Tuesday.

Campbell entered Sunday's contest playing through an ankle issue. The cornerback picked up an additional hip injury that knocked him out of the game early. Campbell's participation level in Wednesday's practice should begin to offer some clarity of whether the cornerback will have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Panthers.

Cooks agreed Tuesday to sign with the 49ers' practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

San Francisco marks the eighth career stop for Cooks, who has racked up 9,811 receiving yards and 62 total touchdowns since entering the NFL as a first-round pick of the Saints in 2014. The 32-year-old will provide the 49ers with some much-needed depth after the WR depth chart was ravaged by injuries. Because he didn't participate in training camp with a team, Cooks could need time to regain conditioning and may not be ready to jump into action for a Week 3 game against the Cardinals. Expect him to be elevated from the practice squad or signed to the 49ers' 53-man roster once he's fully up to speed.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Reed has returned to Green Bay to undergo further testing and consultations with doctors for his neck injury, Ryan Wood of USA Today. The wide receiver remains without a timeline for a return.

After he appeared to take a hit to the head and neck area at the end of a four-yard gain on a swing pass early in the first quarter of Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets, Reed was carted off the field on a backboard and taken to a New Jersey hospital, where he remained overnight. Though a previous report suggested that Reed sustained a back injury, LaFleur clarified Tuesday that the injury is isolated to the receiver's neck area. LaFleur noted that Reed was in good spirits upon returning to Green Bay, but the coach acknowledged that it's still "way too early" to know whether the wideout has a chance of playing again this season until he completes more medical tests, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. The Packers are expected to officially rule Reed out for Thursday's game against the Falcons following the release of their final Week 3 injury report Wednesday.

Taylor (thumb) is considered week-to-week and will likely miss Sunday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Taylor exited Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers due to a thumb issue and doesn't look like he'll be able to practice in any fashion while he recovers from the injury. Though Taylor was on the field for about two-thirds of the Jets' offensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Titans, his playing time was expected to decline once rookie first-rounder Kenyon Sadiq was fully up to speed after missing most of training camp and the preseason due to a hernia. Taylor's expected absence against Detroit should clear the way for Sadiq to see his largest share of playing time to date, and Jeremy Ruckert could also benefit from an expanded role at tight end.

Kolar plans to undergo surgery to repair a broken forearm and is hoping to return from injured reserve when first eligible for the Chargers' Week 8 game against the Rams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

After signing a three-year, $24.3 million deal with the Chargers in March, Kolar had opened the season as the team's top blocking tight end, a key role in Mike McDaniel's offense, while contributing three receptions for 21 yards on three targets. He exited in the second half of Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders due to the forearm fracture. With Kolar and David Njoku (fibula) both expected to be placed on IR within the next few days, Oronde Gadsden is likely to see a major uptick in snaps as the new No. 1 tight end on the depth chart, although fullback Alec Ingold could also see more work as well.

Dowdle is considered day-to-day after undergoing testing on his toe injury Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Dowdle was carted to the locker room during the second half of Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots, but he appears to have avoided a significant injury. If Dowdle ends up sitting out a Week 3 contest against the Jaguars, Jaylen Warren could be in store for a sizable three-down role out of the Pittsburgh backfield. The No. 3 back, rookie Eli Heidenreich, has yet to receive a touch and has mostly been used on special teams through his first two NFL contests.

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.
