| 9/28/2026 11:31:00 PM | Swift rushed 20 times for 84 yards and brought in two of three targets for four yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. |
| Facing the team he suited up for back in 2023, Swift had a nifty nine-yard run on the Bears' opening possession, but he otherwise found running room at a premium for the next two-plus quarters. However, Swift got it going late to help ice Chicago's impressive win, rattling off 23 yards on the first three plays of the Bears' final drive and then closing things out with a 15-yard tackle-breaking scamper on fourth-and-1 on the first play after the two-minute warning. Swift has eclipsed 80 rushing yards in two of the first three games of the campaign and will take an average of 4.7 yards per carry into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday. | |
| 9/28/2026 8:03:00 PM | McMillan has been diagnosed with a PCL sprain in his left knee, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. |
| McMillan originally suffered a knee injury during training camp in early August, and this is believed to be an aggravation of that issue. The 24-year-old didn't play Week 1, logged just seven offensive snaps Week 2 and then lasted only two offensive snaps this past Sunday versus Minnesota before exiting due to the injury. Per Laine, the "early thinking" on McMillan's timeline suggests a 6-to-8 week absence, which makes him a candidate for IR. All of Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson could be slated for larger roles with McMillan expected to be out for the foreseeable future. | |
| 9/28/2026 2:16:00 PM | Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Parsons (knee) hasn't experienced any setbacks but won't be cleared to practice this week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. |
| Because he was placed on the PUP list July 28, Parsons has been eligible to resume practicing since Week 2, but the Packers aren't yet ready to open his 21-day evaluation window. Parsons had previously told Ryan Wood of USA Today that the Packers' Oct. 18 game against the Cowboys was a "very realistic" target for him to make his 2026 debut, but in order for that to happen, the star edge rusher would likely have to start practicing by next week. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:26:00 AM | Waddle caught two of seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams. He also rushed once for 14 yards and caught a two-point conversion. |
| The highlight of Waddle's night came on the two-point conversion after Denver's first touchdown in the third quarter. Bo Nix dropped a pass just over a defender's helmet and Waddle came down with it while getting both feet down in the corner of the end zone to cut Denver's deficit to 16-8. Waddle tied for the team lead with seven targets, matching the totals of Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey, who were two of the five players that topped Waddle's total in receiving yards Sunday night. The prized offseason acquisition is off to an inconsistent start with the Broncos ahead of a Week 4 trip to San Francisco, sandwiching a 138-yard outburst in Week 2 between two games in which he recorded a combined 12 receiving yards. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:20:00 AM | Bates made a 30-yard field goal and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. |
| The third-year pro is now 12-for-12 on extra-point attempts and 3-for-3 on field-goal tries in 2026. Bates is also the beneficiary of an offense that has scored 31 points in all three games so far. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:25:00 PM | Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 14 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders. |
| Having Sam Darnold back under center instead of Drew Lock did nothing to slow Smith-Njigba's momentum. The superstar wideout recorded his third straight game with more than 120 receiving yards while hauling in his fifth and sixth TDs of the season, catching a one-yard toss in the second quarter and an 11-yard strike in the fourth. Smith-Njigba will take an eye-popping 27-405-6 line on 36 targets into a Week 4 clash at home against the Chargers. | |
| 9/27/2026 5:54:00 PM | Stroud completed 16 of 27 passes for 167 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts. |
| Houston's offense struggled for a second consecutive week in the absence of top wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring). Stroud threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Foster Moreau in the second quarter, but the Texans dropped to 0-3 for the second consecutive season. Houston bounced back to finish 12-5 in the 2025 regular season, but climbing out of an early hole again won't be easy, especially with the offensive line struggling to create running lanes or protect Stroud, who has been sacked 10 times through three games. Stroud will try to get off the schneid in an all-Texas Week 4 home game against the Cowboys. | |
| 9/27/2026 5:04:00 PM | Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans. |
| The Giants' passing game struggled with Jameis Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart (knee), and while Nabers led the team in catches and targets, he didn't make much of an impact -- his longest gain went for just 12 yards. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the third-year wideout's campaign with Dart not expected back until 2027, but Nabers and Winston will have plenty of time to develop more chemistry. Nabers will take a 12-96-0 line on 19 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Cardinals. | |
| 9/27/2026 4:54:00 PM | Mahomes completed 20 of 24 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. He also rushed once for one yard. |
| Mahomes found Travis Kelce for a 48-yard gain on Kansas City's first offensive play to set up a Kenneth Walker rushing touchdown before linking up with Walker for a five-yard touchdown pass on the next drive to give the Chiefs a lead they wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. The star quarterback was intercepted later in the first half but bounced back with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Kelce in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs pulled away from the offensively challenged Dolphins. Mahomes will take a 3-0 record and 7:2 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against the Raiders. | |
| 9/27/2026 4:31:00 PM | Walker rushed 18 times for 70 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. |
| Walker recorded a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game for the second time in three outings as a member of the Chiefs. He capped Kansas City's opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown run just 2:06 into the game before adding a five-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Walker has racked up 76 touches while thriving in a workhorse role for his new team heading into a Week 4 road tilt in Vegas. | |
| 9/25/2026 7:31:00 PM | Wilson will be the Seahawks' RB2 for Sunday's game against the Commanders after Jadarian Price (chest) was cleared to play, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. |
| Wilson ended up logging 21 carries for 92 yards during the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Cardinals, with most of those touches coming after Price left the game in the fourth quarter due to a chest injury. Price doesn't have a designation for Week 3, so Wilson and George Holani will provide backfield depth for Sunday's road tilt. | |
| 9/25/2026 12:40:00 AM | Smack went 0-for-1 on field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Thursday's 35-14 loss to the Falcons. |
| The kicker's 47-yard attempt in the second quarter was blocked. It was Smack's first miss on a field-goal try this season, and it probably wasn't his fault. The rookie has, however, missed an extra point as well. | |
| 9/22/2026 10:48:00 PM | Queen recorded two tackles (zero solo) and an interception in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots. |
| Queen played all 55 defensive snaps against New England but was mostly held off the stat sheet aside from his interception of Drake Maye on the opening drive of the third quarter with the Steelers trailing 10-3. It was the fifth interception of Queen's career and his first since Week 16 of the 2023 campaign. Through two games this season, Queen has logged 10 tackles (two solo) and the pick on one pass breakup. | |
| 9/22/2026 10:34:00 PM | Hill recorded 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles. |
| Hill played all 76 of the Titans' defensive plays in Sunday's contest. The middle linebacker has now participated in all 143 of the team's defensive snaps through two regular-season games and has logged 26 total tackles in that span. | |
| 9/22/2026 8:49:00 PM | Schwesinger recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 23-19 win at Tampa Bay. |
| Schwesinger followed up his strong Week 1 performance with a virtual repeat in Week 2, and he has now recorded 10-plus tackles in nine of his last 10 games going back to last season. He's an elite IDP option in most formats going into a Week 3 matchup versus the Panthers. | |
| 9/22/2026 12:18:00 AM | McGowan rushed twice for zero yards and had two kickoff returns for 58 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs. |
| McGowan saw just four offensive snaps in the contest, touchding the ball on half of them. The seventh-round rookie did not make a strong impression against the Chiefs' defensive line, but he proved useful on special teams with a 29-yard average on kickoff returns. | |
| 9/21/2026 10:22:00 PM | Claiborne caught his sole target for two yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears. |
| Claiborne is the No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones while Jordan Mason (thumb) recovers on IR. The 22-year-old saw just two offensive snaps in Sunday's game, meaning DeeJay Dallas could have a shot at claiming the backup role from the sixth-rounder in the future. | |
| 9/21/2026 7:57:00 PM | Lemon caught his lone target for 14 yards while turning one carry into minus-5 yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday. |
| Lemon recorded minus-5 receiving yards on three catches during his NFL debut against the Commanders in Week 1. He was at least able to stay in the positive against Tennessee with a 14-yard catch on the last play of the third quarter, which moved the chains on third-and-8 and led to a two-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby four plays later. Lemon saw his workload in training camp severely limited due to a hamstring injury, so it may take a few weeks for the rookie first-rounder to ramp up his production. That said, with Dallas Goedert set to miss multiple weeks due to a sprained MCL, Lemon could operate in an elevated role in the passing game, starting with the Eagles' Week 3 road tilt against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28. | |
| 9/18/2026 12:21:00 AM | Barnes recorded seven tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 41-31 loss to the Bills. |
| The linebacker also had a big day in Week 1, finishing with six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups, including an interception. He's off to a strong start to the season despite Detroit's defensive struggles. | |
| 9/10/2026 12:22:00 AM | Thomas made nine tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Wednesday night's 13-10 win over the Patriots. |
| The inside linebacker trailed only Ernest Jones in tackles, who led both teams with 13 total. Thomas got to the quarterback in one of the most crucial moments, sacking Drake Maye on second and 17 with 2:16 left in the fourth quarter. The 26-year-old thrived alongside Jones, and the duo should be set for another dominant defensive season. | |
| 8/22/2026 11:55:00 PM | Fields completed nine of 12 passes for 64 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed once for 15 yards in the Chiefs' 16-15 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Kansas City. |
| Fields drew the start due to Patrick Mahomes being inactive and got his night off to a sluggish start, moving the Chiefs just 30 yards on 12 plays over the first three drives. However, the veteran signal-caller found his rhythm in the second quarter, when he led Kansas City to a field goal via an 11-play, 43-yard march on what turned out to be his final possession. Fields is set to operate as the No. 2 quarterback come the regular season, serving as a highly mobile and experienced emergency option should injury befall Mahomes again. | |

| 8/16/2026 5:14:00 PM | Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. |
| Allen suffered a hamstring injury in early August, sustaining the injury just days after returning to practice from a calf issue. The rookie second-rounder is finally ready to resume team activities and continue preparing for his role as the starting middle linebacker. Allen's return means Austin Ajiake and West Weeks will likely see fewer opportunities in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons. | |
| 7/17/2026 9:20:00 PM | Mills is expected to reprise his role as the Texans' backup quarterback behind C.J. Stroud and ahead of Graham Mertz for the 2026 season, Jared Koch of SI.com reports. |
| Mills has served as the Texans' QB2 for each of the past two seasons, but he started in three games during the 2025 season while Stroud was sidelined due to a concussion. Mills led the Texans to wins in all three of his starts, completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 719 yards, five touchdowns and one interception while turning seven carries into 38 yards and a score in that span. Stroud hasn't had the same kind of production over the past two years as he did in his rookie campaign in 2023, and he committed seven turnovers across Houston's two playoff games. If Stroud has a slow start to the 2026 season, then that could be enough for head coach DeMeco Ryans to turn the keys to the offense over to Mills. | |
| 6/2/2026 8:44:00 PM | Pittsburgh signed Herbig to a four-year, $100 million contract extension Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Herbig is coming off the best season of his young career -- he registered 7.5 sacks over 15 regular-season games in 2025 even as he played behind four-time All-Pro T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. Both Watt and Highsmith figure to return in 2026, limiting Herbig's opportunities, but he'll still technically be playing on his rookie deal until 2027. | |
| 1/11/2026 11:24:00 PM | Highsmith posted 50 tackles (36 solo), including 9.5 sacks, along with three pass defenses and a forced fumble while appearing in 13 regular-season games in 2025. |
| Although Highsmith had a pair of two-game absences in 2025 due to ankle and pectoral injuries, he managed to reach the 50-tackle threshold for the fourth time in his first six professional seasons while also recording a team-high 9.5 sacks. The 2020 third-round pick saw plenty of work down the stretch after returning to game action in Week 13, and he should maintain a prominent role during the playoffs. | |
