Banks (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Banks sustained the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Donovan Jennings has taken over at left guard and will remain there unless Banks is cleared to return.

Koziol (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Koziol is once again a healthy scratch. The tight end is the odd man out in a position room that consists of Brenton Strange, Nate Boerkircher and Quintin Morris.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Ewers will once again be inactive as Trevor Lawrence and Nick Mullens are set to be the starting and backup quarterbacks, respectively, for Sunday's contest. The Jaguars acquired Ewers from the Dolphins to be the depth option behind Lawrence, but it appears they may use all of Mullens' practice-squad elevations before resorting to that plan.

Dowdle (toe) returned to Sunday's game against the Patriots to begin the second half, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

Dowdle appeared to injure his toe while attempting to recover an Aaron Rodgers fumble midway through the second quarter. The Steelers had listed Dowdle as questionable to return and kept him out for the remainder of the first half, but the running back will attempt to play through the injury for the final two quarters.

Jones (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Jones injured his shoulder in the second quarter when he sacked Aaron Rodgers. With the starting outside linebacker officially ruled out, Gabe Jacas and Quintayvious Hutchins will need to take over defending the edge for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Jaguars on Sunday, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.

For a second consecutive week, Ehlinger will be the emergency QB3 behind Bo Nix and backup Jarrett Stidham. Ehlinger is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Nix and Stidham were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Bowers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Chargers.

Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in his left knee on Sept. 8, and while he'll miss the first two games of the campaign as a result, he did practice in a limited capacity Friday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the stud tight end is likely to make his season debut Week 3 in New Orleans. In Bowers' continued absence, though, Michael Mayer will act as the primary TE for the Raiders.

Leonard (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Leonard was ruled out ahead of Week 1 due to his abdominal injury and was unable to recover enough to participate in Week 2. The cornerback practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week but ultimately fell short of suiting up for Sunday's contest.

Harvey (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.

Harvey opened Week 2 prep as a non-participant on the Broncos' initial injury report due to a hamstring issue, which he followed up with back-to-back limited sessions and a questionable designation entering the weekend. Having said that, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Harvey was unlikely to play, and that's been confirmed as Denver posted its list of inactives. J.K. Dobbins will pace the backfield Sunday, while rookie Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie also will be on hand for RB reps.

Barkley (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Titans for the start of the third quarter, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

After suffering a stinger on a carry for no gain on the Eagles' first offensive snap, Barkley sat out the rest of the first half while making trips to the medical tent on the sideline as well as the locker room. The Eagles had listed Barkley as questionable to return, and the running back apparently responded well enough to treatment for the team to send him back on the field to begin the second half.
