Cross (undisclosed) stayed in Dallas overnight Sunday due to an internal injury, and his status for Week 3 against the Seahawks is up in the air, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Cross picked up the injury at some point during the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, when he played every single defensive snap while logging three solo tackles. He was cleared to fly back to Virginia on Monday, and Wednesday's injury report should provide some clarity on his status for Week 3. Quan Martin would figure to be the next man up at safety if Cross were to miss time.

The Packers listed Reed (back) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Reed's listing comes as little surprise after he was carted off the field on a backboard after injuring his back during the Packers' first possession of Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets. Though Reed was held overnight in New Jersey for further observation, he's slated to return to Green Bay in the coming days while the Packers evaluate a treatment plan for the wideout. Clarity on the severity of Reed's injury as well as a timeline for his return should become available in the next day or two, but the 26-year-old will be facing an uphill battle to suit up in Thursday's game against the Falcons.

Head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Kinlaw is dealing with a shoulder injury and will require an MRI, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Kinlaw presumably picked up the injury during the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday, when he logged two solo tackles and a sack while playing 31 of 55 defensive snaps. He had previously been nursing a back issue leading up to Sunday's contest.

Banks is expected to undergo surgery for a high-ankle sprain and is out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Banks had to be carted off the field during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens. Follow-up tests have confirmed a high-ankle sprain for the second-year pro, and while a recovery timeline has yet to be established, it looks like Banks will be sidelined for at least 10 weeks, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Asim Richards will be the next man up at left tackle in Banks' absence.

Bates (undisclosed) has received medical clearance to sign and play with a team this season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Bates reached an injury settlement with the Browns in late August after reverting to injured reserve. The third-year pro has been given the green light to return to on-field action and should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to the tight-end position, either on the active roster or practice squad. Bates entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and has appeared in 16 regular-season games across the last two years, serving mostly as a blocker on offense and contributor on special teams.

Turner logged five tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Vikings' 9-3 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Turner opened the season with a sack against the Packers in Week 1, and he doubled his output during Sunday's NFC North showdown. Both of his sacks came in the second half, with the second a nine-yard takedown of Tyson Bagent on the final play of the game to seal the win for Minnesota. Per Sheil Kapadia of The Athletic, Turner leads the league with 20 pressures through two regular-season games, and his 3.0 sacks are tied for third-most behind Greg Rousseau (4.0) and T.J. Watt (3.5). Up next is a Week 3 road clash against the Buccaneers and quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has been sacked seven times through two games to open the 2026 campaign.

Goedert (knee) was diagnosed Monday with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss a few weeks, Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.

Goedert went down in the second quarter of Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans with the injury and now appears to be headed for a multi-week absence. While Goedert missed the entire second half of the Week 2 win, Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins handled tight-end duties, but neither saw major involvement in the passing game. During Goedert's upcoming absence, wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon could be the biggest beneficiaries of added targets behind No. 1 receiver DeVonta Smith.

Tagovailoa (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's walk-through practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Earlier Monday, head coach Kevin Stefanski told Josh Kendall of The Athletic that Tagovailoa was "getting better" after missing the Falcons' first two games of the season due to the oblique strain. The quarterback appears to have backed up his coach's comments by getting upgraded to a limited listing on the practice report, but Tagovailoa could need to participate fully Tuesday or Wednesday to put himself on a path to play Thursday against the Packers. If he's available for the Week 3 contest, Tagovailoa will be relegated to a backup role after the Falcons named Michael Penix (knee) their starting quarterback, per Tori McElhaney of the team's official site.

Maddox will undergo season-ending surgery for a left foot injury that he sustained during the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Maddox was spotted wearing a boot on his left foot following Thursday's loss, and after undergoing multiple tests and imaging, season-ending surgery has been determined as the best course of action for the veteran defensive back. With both Kerby Joseph (knee) and Brian Branch (Achilles) on the reserve/PUP list and Maddox done for the year, the Lions will turn to Chuck Clark and Thomas Harper to be the starting safeties for the time being.

Robinson was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice due to an ankle injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

The ankle issue is a new concern for Robinson, who has thus far parlayed 22 touches for 98 total yards through the first two games of the season while operating in a backup role behind Bijan Robinson. Brian Robinson will have two more chances to potentially upgrade to full practice activity, which would clear the way for him to play Thursday at Green Bay.
