Mendoza did not see the field during the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Kirk Cousins was named the Raiders' starter in early September, and the veteran quarterback commanded the offense sufficiently in Sunday's win, completing 21 of 30 targets for 160 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Mendoza is firmly entrenched as the backup, though the rookie first-overall pick could take over as the Raiders' starter later this season if Cousins' production dips.

Speights is dealing with a hip pointer coming out of the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

The linebacker suffered the injury in the first quarter, left the game briefly and then returned in the second quarter. He didn't exit again and ended up playing 30 defensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps. Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Speights is "feeling better than what we had anticipated" and is "making positive gains right now."

Coleman failed to bring in either of his two targets during Sunday's 27-13 loss to Las Vegas.

Malik Willis missed on both of his pass attempts to Coleman late in the fourth quarter. Coleman's 16 snaps on offense were fourth most among Dolphins wide receivers, and the rookie fifth-rounder figures to operate in a rotational role on offense behind Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell. Coleman will look to record his first NFL catch in a Week 2 tilt against the 49ers on Sept. 20.

Dickerson (knee) will be placed on injured reserve by the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dickerson struggled in the team's regular-season opener against the Commanders on Sunday, and he now appears to be in need of some time away while nursing a knee issue. The offensive lineman is first eligible to return to action Week 6 versus Carolina on Oct. 18, and in the meantime, Drew Kendall or Willie Lampkin will likely be asked to step in as the team's starting left guard.

Landman (shoulder/thumb) is expected to be ready for next Monday night's game against the Giants, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Landman picked up two injuries in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The inside linebacker made eight tackles in the contest, making it a strong start to the veteran's fifth NFL campaign. The 27-year-old will likely start the week as a limited participant in practice, hopefully working his way up to full participation by Saturday to be cleared of any injury designation ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Giants.

Bell caught one pass (on two targets) for 25 yards during the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

It wasn't until the third quarter that Bell logged his first NFL catch, hauling in a 25-yard pass from Malik Willis to keep the drive going and ending with a 14-yard touchdown run by the latter two plays later. The rookie wideout saw the field for 29 of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps (51.2 percent), which was third most among Miami's wide receivers behind Malik Washington (55) and fellow rookie Caleb Douglas (51). It was encouraging to see Bell on the field, seeing as he tore his ACL last December, and his snap count should steadily increase as his conditioning improves. Bell and the Dolphins face a tough Week 2 matchup Sept. 20 against a 49ers defense that limited last year's MVP Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense to just seven points Week 1.

Izien (groin) was considered to be a full participant at the Lions' walkthrough practice Monday.

Izien was unavailable for the team's 31-30 overtime win against New Orleans on Sunday as a result of a groin issue, but he now appears to be on track to make his season debut in Week 2. The 26-year-old is expected to operate as a top reserve option behind Roger McCreary at slot cornerback, and his first test of the season will come Thursday night against the Bills.

Dulcich caught both of his targets for 18 yards Sunday in a loss to the Raiders.

Dulcich wasn't particularly productive, but he was the only Miami tight end to catch a pass in the season opener. The 26-year-old was on the field often, logging 43 of the Dolphins' 56 offensive snaps as well as four special-teams snaps. Dulcich is getting the opportunity to work as Miami's No. 1 tight end, and he could gain some fantasy traction as Malik Willis' primary safety valve as the season progresses.

Curl is dealing with some ankle soreness in the aftermath of the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Curl should be fine, but there is a chance the free safety will start preparing for Week 2 against the Giants as a limited participant. The safety logged 94 percent or more of the defensive snaps for the Rams in every single 2025 contest, so the chance of a minor injury slowing Curl down seem low.

Vidal played five snaps (four on offense, one on special teams) and didn't show up on the box score otherwise during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Vidal was an afterthought in the Chargers' plans on offense, with Omarion Hampton (32 snaps) and Keaton Mitchell (17) collectively getting the bulk of the backfield work Week 1. Vidal also wasn't used as a returner, though that could change for Week 2 against the Raiders on Sept. 20 if Derius Davis (undisclosed) is ruled out for that contest.
