| 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 12:08:00 AM | Odunze secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. |
| Odunze was relegated to a complementary role in the 20-point victory, finishing fourth in receptions and third in both receiving yards and targets for the Bears on a night in which Case Keenum filled in for Caleb Williams (hamstring) under center. While Odunze entered the season as the presumptive No. 1 receiver, veteran offseason addition Kalif Raymond, who had familiarity with head coach Ben Johnson's scheme from their mutual time with the Lions, has enjoyed an expanded role over the first three games while gathering in an impressive 19 of 21 targets. Conversely, Odunze is averaging a career-best 17.4 yards per reception but has a modest eight catches and no touchdowns through three games, numbers he'll look to boost during a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday. | |
| 9/28/2026 8:48:00 PM | Worthy caught both of his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. |
| Worthy entered Sunday's game on the heels of a 5-25-1 performance (on seven targets) during the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win over the Colts. He didn't see any targets in the red zone Sunday compared to the three he had against Indianapolis, though he did lead all Chiefs wide receivers with 43 offensive snaps. His speed makes him a boom-or-bust candidate every week, though Worthy and the Chiefs pass catchers could thrive in a Week 4 road tilt against the Raiders if Las Vegas' rookie safety Treydan Stukes (concussion) is unable to play. | |
| 9/28/2026 8:18:00 PM | Doubs hauled in three of four targets for 49 yards during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. |
| Doubs finished second on the Patriots in both catches and receiving yards to Mack Hollins, the latter of whom finished with a 6-87-0 line on nine targets. Doubs and Hollins will continue to operate as Drake Maye's top targets in the absence of A.J. Brown (ankle), who will miss at least the next two weeks while on injured reserve. Doubs will take a 6-145-0 line on 11 targets into a Week 4 road matchup against Buffalo. | |
| 9/28/2026 8:01:00 PM | Rodriguez turned eight carries into 37 yards and a touchdown during the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Patriots on Sunday. |
| Rodriguez made his way to the end zone for the first time this season on a five-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter to extend the Jaguars' lead to 28-3. The 2023 sixth-rounder played only 13 of 62 offensive snaps (21.0 percent), well behind Bhayshul Tuten (30) and just ahead of LeQuint Allen (eight). Rodriguez has 20 carries for 73 yards (3.7 YPC) and a score through three regular-season games, and he'll continue to operate as the backup option out of the backfield behind Tuten. The Jaguars hit the road for a Week 4 tilt against the Bengals. | |
| 9/28/2026 7:45:00 PM | Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that he expects Flowers to carry a full workload in Week 4 against the Titans on Sunday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports. |
| Flowers had his workload limited during Sunday's 34-31 win against the Cowboys in Brazil. Despite playing only 21 snaps on offense, the fourth-year wide receiver finished with five catches on six targets for 84 yards to lead Ravens pass catchers in all three categories. Flowers will be Lamar Jackson's favorite target heading into Week 4 against a Titans defense that ranks eighth in the league in passing yards allowed per game (189.0). | |
| 9/28/2026 6:38:00 PM | Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams are "hopeful" Nacua (hip) will return to action for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. |
| Nacua has missed the past two gams due to a hip injury (on official practice reports) or what McVay alternatively has called "soreness in his groin" that's unrelated to the psoas discomfort the wide receiver dealt with in training camp. McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that if Nacua doesn't play Sunday at Denver, which came to pass, he likely will be available Week 4. McVay was more subdued Monday, also telling Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times that Nacua's upcoming status is "to be determined." As a result, the will he or won't he suit up with Nacua likely will continue until close to next weekend's kickoff or even beyond that point. | |
| 9/28/2026 3:12:00 PM | Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that Etienne will have some "time lost" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. |
| Moore noted that a specific timeline for Etienne's return hasn't been established, making it uncertain whether or not the running back will be able to avoid a stint on injured reserve. At the very least, Etienne will be sidelined for the Saints' Week 4 game against the Falcons next Monday, which likely paves the way for Alvin Kamara to take on an expanded profile in the backfield after working in a complementary role the previous two weeks. Reserve backs Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson also should be in store for more opportunities for however long Etienne is out. | |
| 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 12:23:00 AM | Fairbairn connected on a 24-yard field goal and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts. |
| The kicker made the most of his opportunities Sunday. He just didn't have very many, which has been a theme this season, as the Texans have given him just six PATs through three contests. | |
| 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 8:20:00 PM | Hubbard rushed 19 times for 82 yards and brought in all four targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday. |
| As expected, Hubbard dominated the touches out of the Panthers backfield, outpacing AJ Dillon by 15 carries. Hubbard also played his customary pass-game role with efficacy, recording a new season high in receptions along the way. He's upped his rushing yardage total over that of the previous contest in each game so far, and considering Jonathon Brooks (abdomen, IR) will remain unavailable for the foreseeable future, the former lines up for another workhorse role in a Week 4 home showdown against the Lions next Sunday night. | |
| 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 6:19:00 PM | McMillan brought in two of five targets for 17 yards in the Panthers' 21-18 loss to the Browns on Sunday. |
| The Panthers' No. 1 receiver fell victim to a Browns defense that played aggressively for the second straight game. Cleveland brought pressure on Bryce Young throughout while recording a trio of sacks and picking him off once, and McMillan's production suffered as a result. McMillan's catch and receiving yardage totals tied for and qualified as the second-lowest figures of his career, respectively, making it an all-around forgettable afternoon for the second-year wideout. The second-year wideout and the rest of the Panthers offense will look to regroup and atone for the stumble in a Week 4 primetime home showdown against the Lions next Sunday night, and McMillan will be in line for an even heavier workload than usual if Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is unable to suit up. | |
| 9/27/2026 5:54:00 PM | Pollard carried the ball 17 times for 74 yards and caught all four of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants. |
| The veteran back saw his biggest workload of the season as Tyjae Spears continues to deal with ankle trouble, and Pollard almost turned the volume into his first game with 100-plus scrimmage yards since Week 16 of 2025. Despite the struggles of the Titans' passing game, Pollard is averaging a strong 4.6 yards per carry, taking 38 totes for 173 yards, but he's still looking for his first TD of the year. If Spears is out or limited again in Week 4 against the Ravens, Pollard could see bell-cow usage, as Tennessee doesn't yet seem to trust rookie RB Nicholas Singleton. | |
| 9/27/2026 5:35:00 PM | Brown rushed 13 times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. |
| Brown continued his career-long tradition of efficient rushing performances against the Steelers, but the running back's overall opportunities at least were somewhat capped due to game script. The versatile back also struggled to make an impact in the passing game for the second straight game after opening the season with a 5-22-0 receiving line, as he's produced the same number of receptions for just 10 yards over the last two contests. Brown should continue in a workhorse role against the Jaguars at home next Sunday. | |
| 9/27/2026 3:26:00 PM | Al-Shaair (groin) has returned to Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| Al-Shaair briefly left the game due to a groin injury. The veteran linebacker has been cleared to return after being evaluated by medical staff, and Wade Woodaz is on standby in case Al-Shaair needs to leave the game again. | |
| 9/24/2026 10:48:00 PM | Cooper is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons. |
| Cooper was checked on by trainers in the blue medical tent late in the third quarter before being taken to the locker room, where he'll be evaluated further for a possible concussion. Isaiah McDuffie is in at inside linebacker alongside Zaire Franklin in Cooper's absence. | |
| 9/22/2026 9:39:00 PM | Edwards recorded four tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 9-3 loss versus the Vikings. |
| Edwards played on 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps for the second time in as many games to open the season. However, Edwards' tackle total remained modest, and he'll look to boost his production in a Week 3 matchup against the Eagles. | |
| 9/22/2026 8:51:00 PM | Smith recorded eight tackles (two solo) during the Ravens' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday. |
| For a second consecutive week, Smith played every single defensive snap, and he finished second on the Ravens in tackles behind Kyle Hamilton (13). Smith is up to 19 total tackles through two regular-season games and is well on pace to reach the 100-tackle threshold for a fourth consecutive season and the eighth time in his 10-year NFL career. The Ravens' defense will have its hands full in a Week 3 tilt against the Cowboys in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. | |
| 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. | |
| 9/16/2026 5:25:00 PM | To'oTo'o (shoulder) is expected to miss more than four games, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. |
| To'oTo'o landed on injured reserve Tuesday, which will keep him off the field for at least four games. However, according to Garafolo, the 25-year-old is expected to be out "longer," possibly missing up to eight weeks. To'oTo'o finished the 2025 campaign by amassing 95 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games. | |
| 9/11/2026 9:32:00 PM | Young played 47 defensive snaps and notched one tackle in the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers. |
| Young tallied just one stop in the contest despite playing 72 percent of the defensive snaps. The linebacker was mostly neutralized on the edge and did not have a night that lived up to his 12.0-sack season in 2025. | |
| 1/11/2026 1:10:00 AM | Barton recorded 81 tackles (37 solo) with 1.0 sacks and three interceptions across 17 games in 2025. |
| Barton signed a significant three-year deal with the Titans prior to the 2025 season with the idea that he'd lead the linebacker corps. However, Cedric Gray instead emerged into that role, while Barton disappointed. He was fairly effective in coverage --his three picks were a career high -- but he struggled in run defense and logged his lowest tackle total since 2021, when he played primarily on special teams. | |
