| 9/29/2026 12:03:00 PM | Daniels will avoid a procedure on his dislocated left elbow for the time being, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the quarterback could undergo surgery after the season. |
| Daniels has dislocated the elbow three times in less than a year, with his most recent aggravation of the injury occurring in the Commanders' Sept. 20 loss to the Cowboys. Surgery could provide a more permanent fix for the elbow, but for the time being, Daniels will rehab the injury and wear a brace for added protection when he eventually returns. After Daniels sat out the Commanders' Week 3 win over the Seahawks, head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the quarterback would travel with the team to London this week and resume practicing in some capacity. The Commanders haven't ruled Daniels out from playing Sunday against the Colts, but he may need to put in at least one full practice in order to have a chance at reclaiming the starting role from Marcus Mariota, who performed well in his stead in Week 3. | |
| 9/29/2026 12:15:00 AM | Concepcion finished Sunday's 21-18 victory versus Carolina with two catches (on nine targets) for nine yards. He also returned one punt for one yard. |
| Concepcion actually tied tight end Harold Fannin for the team lead with nine targets, but the rookie wideout managed to haul in just two of those looks. His receptions went for five and four yards, continuing what has become a trend, as he's averaging a meager 6.7 yards per reception so far this season. The target share indicates that the Browns want Concepcion to be an integral part of the passing game, but so far he doesn't seem to be clicking with QB Deshaun Watson. | |
| 9/28/2026 3:45:00 PM | Jefferson was diagnosed Monday with a sprained left ankle following an MRI, and the Vikings are hopeful that he'll be able to play Sunday versus the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Jefferson missed the final two quarters of this past Sunday's 23-16 win over the Buccaneers after injuring the ankle, but head coach Kevin O'Connell downplayed any major concern afterward, noting that he considered having the star wideout check back in "a couple times" during the second half. The receiver's imaging a day later ruled out any long-term concern with the ankle, and though his practice activity could be managed to some degree during the upcoming week, he has a chance to avoid missing any further game action. | |
| 9/28/2026 1:04:00 PM | Head coach Todd Bowles said that Irving won't be included on the Buccaneers' Week 4 injury report, despite missing the final two possessions of Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. |
| Bowles didn't specify why Irving was off the field late in Sunday's contest, but any physical issue the running back might have been dealing with doesn't look like it will prevent him from playing Week 4. Despite logging a season-low 51 percent snap share, Irving still earned 17 touches (15 carries, two receptions) and accounted for 58 yards from scrimmage. He remains locked in as the clear No. 1 option out of the backfield over free-agent pickup Kenny Gainwell, who is averaging just 2.1 yards per carry and 3.7 yards per reception through three games. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:55:00 PM | Head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Daniels will step in as the Buccaneers' new starting quarterback while Baker Mayfield is out for a "minimum of three weeks" due to a dislocated right thumb, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| The undrafted rookie made his NFL debut in relief of an injured Mayfield late in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings, rushing once for nine yards while failing to complete his first two pass attempts of the day before being intercepted on a Hail Mary as time expired. Since an MRI ruled out any damage to his thumb beyond the dislocation, Mayfield is expected to avoid a stint on injured reserve, but he doesn't appear in line to return to the lineup any sooner than Week 8 at Carolina. As a result, Daniels is now set to get his first extended NFL action beginning this Sunday, when the Buccaneers will host the Packers. During his six-year college career at Kansas, Daniels displayed some decent arm talent and scrambling ability, but concerns about his accuracy and ability to dissect defenses played a large part in him going undrafted. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:41:00 PM | Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Mayfield (thumb) is expected to miss three weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Earlier Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported than an MRI on Mayfield's dislocated right thumb ruled out a fracture as well as any tendon or ligament damage. While Mayfield appears set to avoid surgery, he'll still need some time off to regain strength in his thumb so that he can properly grip the football and throw accurately and at full velocity. Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Bowles said that Mayfield won't be placed on injured reserve, so the Buccaneers could be targeting their Week 10 game in Carolina for his return to the lineup. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will step in as the Buccaneers' new starting quarterback beginning with Sunday's game versus Green Bay. | |
| 9/28/2026 12:09:00 AM | Myers made his only field-goal attempt, a 57 yarder, and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders. |
| The veteran kicker remains perfect on the season, having now connected on all four field-goal tries and all nine extra-point attempts. The Seahawks are not doing much settling, but they are scoring, so Myers is getting enough chances to remain a strong fantasy play. | |
| 9/27/2026 9:10:00 PM | Jones tallied 17 carries for 58 yards and reeled in five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win in Tampa Bay. |
| After dealing with a knee injury during Week 3 prep, Jones continued to lead the Vikings backfield Sunday with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. With the help of his first catches of the season, Jones surpassed 20 touches for a second game in a row, a span in which he's turned 45 touches into 197 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, reserve RBs DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne combined for four touches this weekend. Jones may operate with some practice restrictions during Week 4 prep but should remain Minnesota's No. 1 back next Sunday against the Dolphins, assuming he again is available. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:50:00 PM | McLaurin caught six of nine targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks. |
| After two frustrating games to begin the season that saw multiple near misses in the end zone, McLaurin finally broke out with Marcus Mariota under center instead of Jayden Daniels (elbow), hauling in a 30-yard strike in the third quarter of Sunday's upset. McLaurin led the Commanders in catches, targets and receiving yards in the win, and he'll take a 10-141-1 line on 22 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Colts. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:47:00 PM | Shrader made all four of his field-goal attempts while connecting on his lone extra-point try during the Colts' 19-17 win over the Texans on Sunday. |
| It looked like Shrader was going to observe Sunday's contest from the sidelines after he sustained a groin injury during pregame warmups. However, Shrader was cleared to attempt a field goal in the first quarter, and two of his four made field goals came from 50-plus yards, including a 53-yarder with 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Colts their first win of the season. Shrader has made all eight of his field-goal attempts (including three from 50-plus yards) and six of seven extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season. | |
| 9/27/2026 7:43:00 PM | Mariota completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Seahawks. He added 11 rushing yards on five carries. |
| The veteran quarterback got his first start in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow) and while Mariota didn't produce a lot of yardage against one of the top defenses in the league, he came up big when it counted, Mariota found Rachaad White for a six-yard score and Treylon Burks for an 11-yard TD in the first quarter before connecting with Terry McLaurin for a 30-yard touchdown in the third. Daniels could be back as soon as Week 5, but Mariota will get at least one more start, at home in Week 4 against the Colts. | |
| 9/27/2026 6:58:00 PM | Greenlaw (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. |
| Greenlaw sustained the injury early in the fourth quarter, and he's been off the field being monitored by training staff since his exit. Garret Wallow is in the game at weak-side linebacker in Greenlaw's absence. | |
| 9/27/2026 6:01:00 PM | Maye completed 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added four carries for 18 yards in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one. |
| Maye's rough afternoon also included three sacks, and the multi-interception tally was already his second of the first three games of the new season. The 2024 first-round pick was able to lead his team to only two field goals, and two of his three turnovers were followed by Jaguars touchdowns on the ensuing drive. It's clear Maye misses No. 1 target A.J. Brown (ankle, IR), and although the latter's absence wasn't anywhere near as impactful in a Week 2 win over the Steelers where the defense held Pittsburgh to three points, it was glaring in a game where New England needed to consistently score points. Brown still is slated to miss several more games, and Maye will have plenty of pressure on him in a Week 4 road matchup against Josh Allen and the Bills. | |
| 9/27/2026 4:33:00 PM | Rice caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. |
| Rice was the only Kansas City pass catcher with more than three targets, and he paced the team in receiving yards as well, but Patrick Mahomes' two touchdown passes went to Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelce. Rice's target total has climbed from two in Week 1 to six in Week 2 and now nine in Week 3, so his usage has been trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 4 road game against the Raiders. He averaged 9.8 targets per game in eight appearances last season. | |
| 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. | |
| 9/26/2026 11:58:00 PM | Franklin tallied 10 tackles (three solo) during the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. |
| Franklin played every single defensive snap for the third week in a row and finished Thursday's game tied with Evan Williams for most tackles on the Packers. It was the first time this season that Franklin logged double-digit stops after doing so five times across 17 regular-season games in 2025. The veteran linebacker is up to 21 tackles (seven solo) and is on pace to crack the 100-tackle mark for a fifth consecutive year. | |
| 9/25/2026 4:50:00 PM | Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports. |
| Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury. | |
| 9/24/2026 11:30:00 PM | Robinson rushed 29 times for 194 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 19 yards in the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday. |
| Robinson's night on the ground was every bit as dominating as his final line suggests, as the star running back repeatedly ripped off chunk gains against an overwhelmed Packers defense. He got the night off on the right foot by netting 21 yards on the Falcons' first two plays, and he struck for his game-long 55-yard run on Atlanta's third possession to set himself up for a three-yard touchdown rush two plays later. The 2023 first-round pick went on to add a three-yard touchdown run to close out the scoring with just over three and a half minutes remaining, and he came just a yard short of equaling the career-high 195 rushing yards he hung on the Rams in Week 17 of last season. Robinson already has 543 rushing yards and three total touchdowns through three games heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5. | |
| 9/22/2026 10:13:00 PM | Carter registered five total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 20-6 win over the Texans. |
| Carter was able to finish tied for fourth on the team in takedowns with cornerback DJ Turner, and one of the former's tackles was for a loss. The linebacker has played every defensive snap with the Bengals this season, and he figures to be on track for a big year if his workload remains that high. | |
| 9/22/2026 9:05:00 PM | Oluokun recorded seven total tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos. |
| Oluokun finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with fellow linebacker Ventrell Miller, building off of a Week 1 performance against Cleveland during which he secured four total tackles (three solo) and an interception. Oluokun has registered at least 108 total tackles in each of his last six seasons, and he figures to remain rather busy this year. | |
| 9/20/2026 9:17:00 PM | Vele caught five of seven targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens. |
| Vele was able to remain a major part of the Saints' offensive attack, finishing second on the team in targets behind fellow wide receiver Chris Olave (10) in Week 2. The 28-year-old appears to have solidified himself as the team's No. 2 wide receiver with Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve, catching 12 of 16 targets for 133 yards and a touchdown over the first two games of the 2026 campaign. Vele will have a strong chance to keep up his hot start to the season when New Orleans faces the Raiders in Week 3. | |
| 9/20/2026 5:45:00 PM | Winters (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. |
| Winters sustained a shoulder injury in the first quarter and exited the contest for further evaluation. Winters has now been cleared to return, which should lead to a reduction in snaps for Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham. | |
| 9/20/2026 3:07:00 PM | Kaliakmanis (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback against the Cowboys on Sunday. |
| Kaliakmanis once again will be the emergency QB3, meaning he is not permitted to play Sunday unless both Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. | |
| 9/14/2026 7:13:00 PM | Watt made four solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and had one pass defensed for a 35-yard pick-six in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons. |
| Watt turned back the clock for a vintage masterclass in Sunday's game, scoring a 35-yard touchdown in the second quarter off a Cooper Rush interception that turned out to be the difference in the contest. The edge rusher already has over a quarter of his 2025 sack total (7.0) after just one week of regular-season play. It is safe to say Watt has fully recovered from the lung injury that plagued him throughout the end of the 2025 campaign. | |
| 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. | |
| 3/23/2026 12:22:00 PM | With the Patriots slated to release Joshua Dobbs, DeVito now is the team's projected No. 2 QB, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. |
| DeVito, who worked as New England's No. 3 signal-caller last season behind Dobbs and starter Drake Maye, signed a two-year deal to remain with the team earlier this month. Per Reiss, the base value of DeVito's new contract is $4.4 million and includes incentives that could increase its value to $7.4 million. Though the 27-year-old didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, he did log a total of eight starts during his two seasons (2023 and 2024) with the Giants. With Dobbs no longer in the mix, look for the Patriots to add QB depth as the offseason progresses, possibly via next month's draft. | |
