Dowdle (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. He finished with seven carries for 22 yards and two catches for 22 yards on two targets.

After exiting midway through the second quarter due to the toe injury, Dowdle was cleared to return coming out of halftime and picked up four touches (three carries, one catch) over the Steelers' first three possessions of the second half. However, he may have aggravated the injury at some point along the way and will now be shut down for the rest of the day. Jaylen Warren is expected to see the bulk of the snaps and touches out of the backfield for the remainder of the Week 2 contest, with Travis Homer and Eli Heidenreich providing depth behind him.

Jennings (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

Jennings was in the game at left guard for Aaron Banks (toe), the latter of whom is also questionable to return. Jager Burton has taken over at left guard in the absences of both Banks and Jennings.

Dorlus (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear when Dorlus sustained the injury, but he's being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Zach Harrison and Maason Smith are both in line for an uptick in defensive snaps for as long as Dorlus is out of the game.

Stanley (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints.

Stanley started Sunday's game after overcoming a persistent toe injury. The issue has flared up after some first-half snaps, and it is unclear if the left tackle will be able to return Sunday. Carson Vinson is the next man up at left tackle for the Ravens.

Mauigoa (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Green Bay.

With both Mauigoa and Marcelino McCrary-Ball (ankle) both done for the day, Troy Reeder will operate in an elevated role on defense for the rest of Sunday's game. Mauigoa sustained a quad injury during the second quarter, and he'll finish his day without recording a tackle.

Banks (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Banks was carted back to the locker room with an ankle injury. With the 2025 first-round pick unavailable the rest of the way, Asim Richards is set to finish the game at left tackle.

McCrary-Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Packers.

McCrary-Ball was carted off the field during the first half due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. With Kiko Mauigoa (quadriceps) also ruled out, Troy Reeder will continue to operate in an elevated role defensively.

Goodson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Goodson will be a healthy scratch for Week 2. The No. 3 running back was signed to the Cowboys' active roster Sept. 15. Goodson will not suit up for his first game as a Cowboy, though it is unclear whether it is because he is not needed or not prepared yet.

Woodson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Woodson is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return Sunday. Jaylen Reed will take over at safety for as long as Woodson is sidelined.

Lopez (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Lopez posted an LP/DNP/LP practice log during Week 2 prep to draw the questionable tag, but the sixth-year pro has been cleared by medical staff to play in Sunday's NFC West tilt. He recorded four tackles (two solo) during the Cardinals' Week 1 victory over the Chargers.
