Skattebo rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

Jaxson Dart's first-half exit due to a knee injury naturally put a damper on the Giants offense as a whole, and Skattebo unsurprisingly faced more stringent fronts than he otherwise would have had Dart been in the game. Skattebo did have a solid passing game role as New York trailed throughout, but with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting Dart has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, it's possible the second-year back may play at least Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Titans without his talented teammate.

Burns suffered a low-ankle sprain in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

The diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain is welcome news for the Giants' pass rush. Instead of missing roughly 4-to-6 weeks with a more serious injury, Burns could be back for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Titans. The linebacker will need further testing, but it appears the star pass rusher should return to the field sooner rather than later.

Williams rushed 12 times for 85 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

Williams and backfield mate Blake Corum split the rushing workload right down the middle, and both backs were highly efficient. Williams added a 10-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, but the talented veteran's lost fumble late in the first half on his own 11-yard line led to a Giants field goal. Williams has a rushing and receiving score apiece over the first two games heading into a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday night, although his timeshare with Corum does cap his outlook to an extent.

Holani carried four times for 13 yards and caught his only target for two yards Sunday in a 31-7 victory versus the Cardinals.

Holani got the third-most offensive snaps (18) among Seattle's running backs, trailing Jadarian Price (24) and Emanuel Wilson (29). Price hurt his shoulder and had to exit the game in the fourth quarter, at which point Wilson took over as the clear lead RB and finished with a strong 21-92-0 rushing line. With that said, if Price is sidelined Week 3 versus Washington, Wilson would likely lead Seattle's backfield, though Holani would stand to see increased opportunities as well.

Bourne caught two of his three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

Bourne played 30 of the Cardinals' 50 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver continues to garner some attention behind leading weapons Trey McBride and Michael Wilson while playing a significant share of the team's snaps.

Adams secured eight of 10 targets for 195 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night.

With Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Adams entered the contest projected for an elevated workload, but the veteran wideout exceeded expectations in a spectacular primetime showing. Adams set the tone for a dominant performance early via a 31-yard touchdown reception over the middle late in the first quarter. He'd go on to add an 11-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the third quarter, and Adams' reception, receiving yardage and target totals all comfortably paced the Rams on the night. The breakout effort was in stark contrast to Adams' quiet three-catch Week 1 tally, but he draws a tough Week 3 assignment on the road against the Broncos on Sunday night, one where he could garner plenty of Patrick Surtain's attention if Nacua remains sidelined.

Sarratt was active for Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints but did not play any snaps in the contest.

Sarratt was a healthy scratch for the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts. The wide receiver could not get on the field in Week 2 against the Saints, even with star No. 1 option Zay Flowers (hamstring) sidelined due to injury.

Dart is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee during Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Dart underwent X-rays that were returned negative, and an MRI scheduled for Tuesday should either confirm or negate the initial diagnosis of an MCL sprain. The promising young quarterback logged just one offensive series Monday before getting hurt while throwing a third-down pass. Per Rapoport, Dart is expected to miss "some time," though he will likely be able to return this season if the injury is limited to a sprained MCL and no other ligament damage. In the likely scenario that Dart ends up missing games, Jameis Winston will be lined up to work as New York's starting quarterback.

Burns (ankle) did not return to Monday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Burns exited the game in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. With the Giants down three scores when Burns exited, it's likely he would been held out the rest of the way even if he was cleared. The 28-year-old's left ankle appeared to be rolled up on by a Rams offensive lineman, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reported.

Thomas (groin) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Thomas sustained a groin injury in the fourth quarter of Monday's contest. The Giants were already down by three scores at the time of Thomas' exit, so it is unlikely the left tackle will return to the contest regardless of the verdict on his ability to play.
