Banks (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Banks was limited in practice throughout Week 2. The starting left guard has recovered from his knee injury enough to suit up for Sunday's game.

Killebrew (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Killebrew entered the league's concussion protocol following the Buccaneers' Week 1 loss to the Bengals. He was listed as questionable for Week 2, but after being evaluated by an independent neurologist, Killebrew has been cleared to play in Sunday's home opener.

Fautanu (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Fautanu drew the questionable tag for Week 2 after posting a DNP/LP/FP practice log. The third-year pro was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups and will once again start at left tackle.

Lindstrom (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Lindstrom was tagged as questionable for Sunday's NFC South tilt, and the veteran offensive lineman has been given the green light to play after passing the league's concussion protocol following an evaluation from an independent neurologist.

Trapilo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Trapilo managed to recover from his knee injury in time for Sunday's game. Unfortunately for the reserve offensive lineman, it didn't matter, as the team decided to leave the tackle inactive for Sunday's contest anyway.

Ponds (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Ponds didn't play Week 1 due to a calf injury, but he'll be a healthy scratch for Week 2 after being cleared from the team's injury report. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 3 against the Lions next Sunday. Jarvis Brownlee will continue to operate as the Jets' slot corner.

Grupe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Despite Grupe being signed to the 53-man roster, the Jets have opted to elevate Jason Sanders from the practice squad for a second consecutive week to serve as the team's kicker. Grupe's spot on the roster is in jeopardy, though he would certainly be in line to take over as the Jets' kicker if Sanders struggles.

Allar (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Allar is the odd man out in the Steelers' quarterback room. Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph are the active options, while Will Howard (coach's decision) seems to be the primary option as the emergency third quarterback. The rookie third-rounder will likely continue to be a healthy scratch unless he surpasses Howard and Rudolph for the backup role.

Morton (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Steelers on Sunday.

As the emergency third quarterback, Morton is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. Morton was a seventh-round selection of the Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Pickett will be the Panthers' backup quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

For a second consecutive week, Pickett will be the QB2 behind Bryce Young, with Haynes King (coach's decision) serving as the emergency third quarterback. Pickett has appeared in 37 regular-season games and has a 16-11 record across 27 starts in his NFL career, with most of those starts taking place in 2022 and 2023 as a member of the Steelers.
