Hutchinson caught three passes on nine targets for 37 yards during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Hutchinson operated in an elevated role on offense Sunday due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Hutchinson's 65 offensive snaps and nine targets were most among all Texans wide receivers, though he ended up catching only three passes from C.J. Stroud, with tight end Dalton Schultz leading Houston's pass catchers with a 12-140-0 line (on 14 targets). Hutchinson has six catches for on 15 targets for 69 yards through two regular-season games, and he would be the WR1 against the Colts in Week 3 if Collins is not cleared to return.

Iosivas caught his lone target for seven yards during the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Iosivas' lone target from Joe Burrow took place early in the third quarter and set up Evan McPherson to connect on a 51-yard field goal on the next play to put the Bengals up 10-3. Iosivas' 32 offensive snaps were third most among wide receivers, but he is very clearly behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown and Mike Gesicki in the pecking order for passes from Burrow. Iosivas will take a 3-19-0 line (on four targets) into the Bengals' Week 3 road clash against the Steelers on Sept. 27.

Perine logged two carries for six yards and hauled in his lone target for 16 yards during the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Perine's three touches were well behind starter Chase Brown's 25, with the former playing 24 of 60 offensive snaps (40.0 percent). Perine's 16-yard catch midway through the third quarter converted a third-and-7 for the Bengals and led to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Ja'Marr Chase five plays later. Perine is up to 72 scrimmage yards through two regular-season games and is firmly entrenched as the Bengals' RB2 behind Brown. Up next is a Week 3 AFC North tilt against the Steelers, whose defense gave up 119 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries between TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson in a Week 2 loss to the Patriots.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Kolar will go on injured reserve due to a forearm injury he sustained during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Kolar was spotted with his left arm in a sling following Sunday's loss, and the injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on IR. As a result, Kolar will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making him ineligible to play until Week 8 against the Rams. David Njoku (knee) is also set to go on IR, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the lone healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster for the time being.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Njoku will be placed on injured reserve due to a fibula injury, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Charlie Kolar (forearm) is also expected to land on IR after both he and Njoku sustained injuries during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders, with the latter being carted off the field during the second quarter. Njoku is without an official timeline to return, though he won't be eligible to come off IR any earlier than the Chargers' Week 8 matchup with the Rams on Nov. 1. For the time being, second-year pro Oronde Gadsden, who posted a 49-664-3 line on 69 targets across 15 games in 2025, is the only healthy tight end on the Chargers' 53-man roster.

Porter will be evaluated Wednesday for a back injury he aggravated during practice last week, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Porter has been working through a back issue since the start of training camp but was on track to play against the Patriots in Week 2 before his injury flared up during practice. The 2023 second-rounder is also seeking an extension while in the final year of his rookie contract, but it appears Porter and the Steelers are far apart on negotiations. Wednesday's evaluation should provide more clarity on the defensive back's status for Pittsburgh's Week 3 AFC North showdown against Cincinnati this Sunday.

The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Berrios will be up from the practice squad for a second consecutive week and is expected to serve as a returner for the Giants on both punts and kickoffs. He played 18 snaps (12 on offense, six on special teams) during the Giants' Week 1 win over the Cowboys, when he returned one kickoff for 28 yards while calling two fair catches on punts.

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.
