Vikings declared QB Kyler Murray, WR, Jauan Jennings, CB Zemaiah Vaughn, S Jakobe Thomas, C Nick Samac, OT Caleb Tiernan and DL Elijah Williams inactive for Week 2 against the Bears.
QB Kyler, Murray MIN
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday morning Murray is “on track” to return in Week 3 against the Bucs. Jennings, who is out for non-football reasons, has a less clear return timeline.

A.J. Terrell (shoulder) is active for Week 2 against the Panthers.
A.J., Terrell
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Chris Lindstrom cleared concussion protocol over the weekend and is also active. Inactive for the Falcons are QB Tua Tagovailoa, QB Michael Penix Jr., DB Billy Bowman Jr., DB Malcolm DeWalt IV, and OL Ethan Onianwa.

Ravens declared WR Zay Flowers, LB Teddye Buchanan, OG Andrew Voorhees, OT Gerad Lichtenhan, DT Nnamdi Madubuike, and QB Joe Fagnano inactive for Week 2 against the Saints.
WR Zay, Flowers BAL
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Flowers was officially ruled out on Saturday by the team, so there’s nothing too surprising to see here. Veteran receiver Rashod Bateman is expected to see an increased role with Flowers sidelined, while Devontez Walker is also active after being a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Colts. If possible, it would be best to avoid all Ravens receivers in fantasy this week.

Browns C Elgton Jenkins (back) is active for Week 2 against the Bucs.
Elgton, Jenkins
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Jenkins missed some practice time this week with a lingering back issue. He’ll suit up against a Tampa defense that last week pressured the passer at a lowly 24 percent rate. Browns declared QB Taylen Green, LB Justin Jefferson, S Daniel Thomas, CB Toriano Pride Jr., C Parker Brailsford, and G Teven Jenkins inactive for Week 2.

Bears OT Ozzy Trapilo is inactive for Week 2 against the Vikings.
Ozzy, Trapilo
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Trapilo was actually removed from the final injury report, but The Athletic reports he is still not game ready after rupturing his patellar tendon last season. It is unclear when that might be, but Trapilo is at least now trending toward contributing at some point this season. Also inactive for the Bears are QB Case Keenum, DL Jayden Loving, DL Jamree Kromah and OL Jordan McFadden.

Titans declared CB Cor’Dale Flott (quad) inactive for Tennessee’s Week 2 game against the Eagles.
Cor'Dale, Flott
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

He popped up on the injury report on Friday with a quad injury and was listed as questionable. Also inactive for the Titans are: LB james Williams (elbow), G Atonio Mafi, T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, TE Kylen Granson, and DT Jackie Marshall.

Chris Olave (hamstring) is active for Week 2 against the Ravens.
WR Chris, Olave NOS
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Olave is officially active after popping up on Thursday’s injury report with a hamstring issue. He logged a limited practice Friday, so hopefully he won’t be too hampered in what could be a high-scoring game. Assuming a normal workload, Olave projects as a solid WR1. While Olave is active, the Saints did declare RB Kendre Miller, QB Zach Wilson, CB Decamerion Richardson, LB Isaiah Stalbird, DL Christen Miller, OL Mason Murphy, and DL John Ridgeway III inactive for Week 2.

Panthers declared OLB Pat Jones, TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, CB Chau Smith-Wade, LB Tyrel Dodson, OT Albert Reese, and DT Bobby Brown inactive for Week 2 against the Falcons.
Patrick, Jones
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Jones missed most of the 2025 season with a back injury and subsequent surgery. He was also held out of Week 1. Jones was back at practice this week, but the team is going to give him a few more practices before letting him take the field again.

Patriots CB Carlton Davis (neck) is inactive for Week 2 against the Steelers.
Carlton, Davis
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Davis did not practice all week due to a neck injury and was officially ruled out on Saturday. The Patriots will look for reinforcements in the secondary for Week 2 against the Steelers. Also inactive for the Patriots are OT Dametrious Crownover, OT Walter Rouse, TE Tanner Arkin, DT Leonard Taylor, and QB Behren Morton.

Kendre Miller is inactive for Week 2 against the Ravens.
RB Kendre, Miller NOS
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Miller will be a healthy scratch with Alvin Kamara officially back for Week 2. Miller rushed nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Lions, but he looks like the odd man out with the Saints’ top two backs healthy; rookie CJ Donaldson, who contributes on special teams, will serve as the team’s RB3. Miller’s fantasy value is non-existent as long as Kamara and Travis Etienne are both dressing on Sundays.

Eagles declared QB Tanner McKee, QB Cole Payton, WR Elijah Moore, EDGE Jonathan Greenard (pectoral), and OT Micah Morris inactive for Philadelphia’s Week 2 game against the Titans.
QB Tanner, McKee PHI
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Greenard was ruled out on Friday after three limited practices; there’s a chance he returns next week. Andrew Mukuba (knee) is playing off a questionable tag. Everyone else here is a healthy scratch.

Sean Tucker (hamstring) is active for Week 2 against the Browns.
RB Sean, Tucker TBB
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Tucker was out last week with the hamstring issue. His return to the Tampa lineup could take a few touches away from Bucky Irving and/or Kenneth Gainwell. Last week against the Bengals, Irving out-carried Gainwell 8-5 and led the backfield with a 59 percent route share. Bucs declared CB Jacob Parrish, CB Ayden Garnes, DL Elijah Simmons, DL DeMonta Capehart, OL Billy Schrauth, and OL Luke Haggard inactive for Week 2.

Texans declared WR Nico Collins inactive for Houston’s Week 2 game against the Bengals.
WR Nico, Collins HOU
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

He had already been ruled out and is in jeopardy of missing Week 3 as well. The Texans ruled out Collins, Jadeveon Clowney (knee), Jake Hummel (groin) and Ed Ingram (groin) on Friday. Joining them as healthy scratches are TE Brevin Jordan, CB Collin Wright, and T Nate Thomas.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. (back) is inactive for Week 2 against the Patriots.
Joey, Porter
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Porter was declared out on Friday due to a back issue that also kept him out of Week 1. With his contract situation also up in the air, it is unclear if Porter will return in Week 3. Also inactive for the Steelers are WR Michael Pittman Jr., QB Drew Allar, QB Will Howard, OG Gennings Dunker, DL Kevin Jobity Jr., and DE Gabriel Rubio. Pittman was ruled out with a foot injury while Howard will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback.

Jets declared CB D’Angelo Ponds, S Minkah Fitzpatrick, RB Kene Nwangwu, ED Joseph Ossai, LB Trevin Wallace, and K Blake Grupe inactive for Week 2 against the Packers.
D'Angelo, Ponds
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

We knew Fitzpatrick had already been ruled out with a groin injury. D’Angelo Pounds had practiced all week, and Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that he was healthy enough to play, but apparently there is no room for him in the secondary at the moment. The good news for the Jets is that Will McDonald (ankle) is active and will play.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Puka Nacua (groin) is “trending in the wrong direction” for Week 2.
WR Puka, Nacua LAR
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Schefter said on Sunday NFL Countdown that Nacua is more likely to be sidelined on Monday against the Giants than he is to suit up and play through his groin injury. It would be a massive blow to the Rams offense, which would likely be more run-heavy if Nacua is out against the Giants. That could mean a big workload for Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Terrance Ferguson, who ran a route on just 41 percent of the Rams’ drop backs in Week 1, could see a slightly bigger role if Nacua is sidelined.

Packers declared CB Benjamin St-Juste, OL John Williams, OL Travis Glover, DT Warren Brinson, and DT Javon Hargrave inactive for Week 2 against the Jets.
Aaron, Banks
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

That means that starting left guard Aaron Banks (knee) will be back on the field after missing Week 1 against the Vikings. In a game that figures to be played in constant rain, having a fully healthy offensive line will be a nice boost for Marshawn Lloyd and the Packers’ offense. Javon Hargrave (concussion) remains out for Week 2.

Trey Hendrickson (finger) will play in Week 2 against the Saints.
Trey, Hendrickson
Sep 20, 2026 12:00

Hendrickson reportedly broke his finger “into several pieces,” but that won’t be enough to keep him out against his former team this week. Ravens writer Ryan Mink said Hendrickson’s fingers are “heavily wrapped” and that he’ll play with a cast on.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports DJ Moore (shoulder) is considered “day-to-day” and is expected to practice next week.
WR DJ, Moore BUF
Sep 20, 2026 11:00

Moore is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain in Week 2. He left in the first half after landing on his shoulder and did not return. His status for Week 3 remains up in the air, but an immediate return to practice would be a good sign. He got off to a hot start in Week 1 with 100 yards and a touchdown before being shut out in his brief Week 2 showing. The extra rest between Thursday’s game and Buffalo’s upcoming matchup with the Chargers will hopefully be enough to get more back on the field.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ed Oliver (hip) “has a chance” to play in Week 3 against the Chargers.
Ed, Oliver
Sep 20, 2026 11:00

He is considered day-to-day. Per Rapoport, Oliver experienced hip spasms during warmups ahead of the Bills’ Week 2 game against the Lions. The Bills ruled him out right at the deadline for inactives. Oliver only appeared in three games last year but still managed three sacks. He logged one TFL and a fumble recovery in Week 1 of this year.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kyler Murray (concussion) “is on track” to play in Week 3 against the Bucs.
QB Kyler, Murray MIN
Sep 20, 2026 11:00

Schefter added that Murray is expected to clear concussion protocol next week. He was limited throughout practice this week before being ruled out on Friday. Murray made progress through the protocol during the week but couldn’t get the green light before the weekend. Carson Wentz will make one more start. Even with another strong showing, Wentz is all but certain to return to backup duties once Murray is healthy.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports “the belief is that the first two games would serve as a natural evaluation point” for Deshaun Watson.
QB Deshaun, Watson CLE
Sep 20, 2026 10:00

The Browns open the year with a two-game road trip before returning to Cleveland for their home opener next week. Watson was a disaster in Week 1, turning the ball over twice while throwing for 205 yards and one score. Another showing like that versus the Bucs this week and he could be sent to the bench. Shedeur Sanders would then draw the start against Carolina in Week 3. It’s unlikely the Browns offense turns things around under Sanders, but things truly cannot get worse than they are right now.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Week 4 is the “more likely” target for Sam Darnold (glute) to return.
QB Sam, Darnold SEA
Sep 20, 2026 10:00

Rapoport did note that Darnold is expected to practice in some capacity next week. It sounds like the team will use next week’s sessions to give him an extended ramp-up ahead of Week 4, though a Week 3 return isn’t out of the question. Drew Lock will start this week and probably next week as well. He is in the QB2 mix for Superflex leagues, though managers without a second quarterback spot don’t need to worry about Lock for now.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ladd McConkey (rib) is “pushing to play” in Week 2 against the Raiders.
WR Ladd, McConkey LAC
Sep 20, 2026 09:00

McConkey suffered a cracked rib in the Chargers’ Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. He logged one limited practice this week before being listed as questionable. According to Rapoport, McConkey has “improved more steadily than anticipated.” He notes that the team did not elevate a receiver from the practice squad over the weekend, indicating some optimism that McConkey will play. Fantasy managers will want to check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, but all signs point to McConkey suiting up today. He will be a high-risk WR2.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Puka Nacua (groin) is considered a “pre-game decision” for the Rams’ Week 2 game against the Giants.
WR Puka, Nacua LAR
Sep 20, 2026 09:00

Nacua was added to the injury report on Friday as a DNP. He failed to get in any reps on Saturday but still received the questionable designation. Given that the game is on Monday, fantasy managers won’t have many contingency options left. With Jordan Whittington also expected to miss Week 2, the Rams’ No. 2 receiver will be either Konata Mumpfield or Xavier Smith if Nacua doesn’t suit up. Both players would be WR5/6 options in the event of a Nacua absence.
