Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Won't suit up versus Kansas City
Dulin (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Dulin won't suit up versus the Chiefs, with head coach Shane Steichen labeling the wideout as "week-to-week." While Dulin is sidelined, Seth McGowan should handle most of the return duties. Laquon Treadwell also figures to see extra playing time behind Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and Alec Pierce (heel).

George Kittle TE | SF
49ers' George Kittle: Cleared for Week 2
Kittle (Achilles) practiced fully Friday and does not have an injury designation for Week 2, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Kittle was limited at San Francisco's first two practices of the week, but he was able to get in a full session Friday. As such, consider him ready to go for his team's Week 2 matchup with the Dolphins.

Patrick Jones II LB | CAR
Panthers' Patrick Jones: Questionable versus Atlanta
Jones (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
Jones didn't suit up for the Week 1 loss to the Bears. Although he practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, he's in danger of missing another contest Sunday. If Jones can't get on the field against Atlanta, Princely Umanmielen and Trevis Gipson would be in line for more snaps.

Bobby Brown III DT | CAR
Panthers' Bobby Brown: Out versus Atlanta
Brown (back) won't play in Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Brown didn't practice throughout the week. While he has been ruled out for Week 2, it's unknown how much longer he will be out of commission. As a result, Aaron Hall and TeRah Edwards are both expected to receive more snaps versus the Falcons.
-
Frankie Luvu LB | WAS
Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Won't face Cowboys
Luvu (groin) won't play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.
Luvu suffered a groin strain in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Philadelphia. While the injury isn't expected to land him on injured reserve, he will at least miss Sunday's NFC East showdown with Dallas. With Luvu sidelined for Week 2, Leo Chenal is the favorite to move into the starting lineup.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Won't play this week
Mims (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Mims played just nine snaps on offense in a Week 1 loss at Kansas City, running six routes without seeing a target. His absence may leave a few more snaps for Troy Franklin, but the bigger impact for Denver will be on special teams, especially if RJ Harvey (questionable - hamstring) also ends up inactive. The team could look to the practice squad for a punt returner, while kick returns figure to be handled primarily by backup RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.

LeQuint Allen RB | JAC
Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Ready for larger role?
Allen (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Denver, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Jaguars coach Liam Coen told O'Halloran on Friday morning that he "fully anticipates" a larger role for Allen, who played just one snap in the season opener against Cleveland after missing training camp and the preseason with a hip injury. Ameer Abdullah is a capable replacement on passing downs, but it sounds like Coen still prefers Allen there once he gets back to full strength. It's not a role that will involve many touches, and even the snap count could be in single digits some weeks.

Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ
Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Out again Sunday
Nwangwu (back) won't play in Sunday's game against the Packers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Nwangwu will miss a second consecutive game Sunday, and he's considered week-to-week. With Nwangwu sidelined again in Week 2, Isaiah Williams will presumably handle most of the return duties versus Green Bay.
-
Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Cleared for Week 2 action
Thomas (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Denver, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
The Jaguars listed Thomas as a limited practice participant all week, after he played just eight snaps on offense after the first quarter of a Week 1 win over Cleveland. He did catch three passes for 40 yards in the opening quarter, and he likely would've played more if the Jaguars hadn't been up by three-plus scores for the entire second half. Still, there's some risk of re-injury, and continued risk of playing behind Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers in multi-TE formations.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Ready for Week 2
Meyers (thumb) was limited at Friday's practice but doesn't have an injury designation for Week 2 at Denver, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Brian Thomas (shoulder) also avoided an injury designation despite being limited in practice throughout the week. He picked up his injury during the Week 1 win over Cleveland, whereas Meyers is listed with the same thumb injury that he played through successfully in the season opener.
