Howard (coach's decision) is inactive as the Steelers' emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

The Steelers' four-quarterback roster consists of starter Aaron Rodgers, backup Mason Rudolph, and the younger options Howard and Drew Allar (coach's decision). Howard gets the nod as the third quarterback over Allar, but the QB3 will only be able to enter Sunday's contest if both Rodgers and Rudolph cannot continue to play.

O'Neill (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

O'Neill was working through a knee injury during Week 2 prep and drew the questionable tag for Sunday's NFC North tilt. The veteran offensive lineman has been given the green light by medical staff to play after going through pregame warmups, and he will assume his starting spot at right tackle.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Johnson was elevated in the event Joe Burrow missed Sunday's contest due to the back injury that had him listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week. With Burrow healthy and suiting up, Johnson will be inactive for the game in Houston.

With Cor'Dale Flott (quadriceps) inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Robinson will start at outside cornerback opposite Alontae Taylor, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Robinson, a seventh-round selection of the Titans in the 2025 NFL Draft, will start Sunday for the second time in his pro career due to Flott's quad injury. Robinson logged two tackles (one solo) while playing 25 snaps on special teams during the Titans' Week 1 loss to the Jets.

Fagnano (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Saints but serving as the emergency third quarterback, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Fagnano is inactive once again but will serve as the Ravens' emergency signal-caller in Week 2. However, unless Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are injured during the contest, Fagnano won't be on the field Sunday.

Arkin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Arkin signed with the Patriots in May as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois. The tight end saw four special-teams snaps in the team's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks but did not appear in the box score.

Miller (toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Miller is working through a toe injury, but he drew the questionable tag for Week 2 after logging a limited practice Friday. However, the rookie second-rounder has not been cleared by medical staff to play Sunday, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 3 against the Raiders on Sept. 27. Nathan Shepherd and Khristian Boyd will serve as the depth options at nose tackle behind Davon Godchaux in Miller's absence.

Hendrickson (finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Hendrickson was able to manage just one limited practice this week due to a broken finger, but he'll be able to play through the injury Sunday while sporting a cast on the injured digit, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. While facing off against the team that drafted him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the star edge rusher will be looking to secure his first sack as a member of the Ravens after being limited to just one solo tackle across 40 defensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the Colts.

Jones (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Jones logged limited practices throughout Week 2 and was listed as questionable after Friday's session due to a foot injury. The linebacker has made enough progress to garner active status for Sunday's game, where he will likely play a similar amount of defensive snaps as he did in Week 1 (84 percent).

Young (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Young was working through a calf injury during Week 2 prep, and the veteran pass rusher has been cleared by medical staff to play Sunday. If his snap count is limited to decrease the chance of injury aggravation, then Myles Cole and Anfernee Jennings would be in line for a bump in playing time. Young logged one pass defense but failed to record a tackle during the Saints' 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1.
