Jets placed WR Arian Smith (knee) on injured reserve.

22 September 2026

He’ll miss at least four weeks. Smith had only really been playing special teams. It leaves the Jets with only three wideouts on their 53-man roster following Omar Cooper’s IR placement in Week 1. Tyler Johnson and Sterling Shepard are in line to be elevated off the practice squad for depth in Week 3.

Chargers signed TE Hayden Rucci off the Jaguars’ practice squad.

22 September 2026

The Chargers lost David Njoku and Charlie Kolar to injured reserve, and apparently preferred Rucci to their in-house practice squad players. Rucci will play behind Oronde Gadsden.

Patriots placed Mike Onwenu (ankle) on injured reserve.

22 September 2026

He’ll miss at least four weeks; we’d be surprised if he played again this season after his leg and ankle bent the wrong way while T.J. Watt rolled into him in Week 2. Greg Van Roten took over at guard for the Patriots, who are not providing Drake Maye with the same sort of consistency up front as he had last year through the season’s first two games.

Brian Robinson (ankle) practiced in full on Tuesday.

22 September 2026

Robinson was limited on Monday for the estimated practice session. It seems like he’ll be able to go behind Bijan Robinson in Week 3’s TNF showdown with the Packers.

The Arizona Republic’s Theo Mackie reports Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur “met [the] idea” of manufacturing touches for Marvin Harrison “with skepticism.”

22 September 2026

“I know it’s like, ‘Well, just get some easy completions to get going,’” LaFleur told Mackie. “And that’s fine. You also have Trey McBride, who’s one of the best underneath guys in the world. And there’s only about 60, 65 plays a game. And you’ve gotta run the ball. And you’ve got Kendrick, who works underneath pretty well too. So everyone’s kind of got their role.” In other words; don’t look for LaFleur to bail your Harrison fantasy pick out. If Harrison does get co ...

9NEWS’ Mike Klis reports J.K. Dobbins suffered leg cramps against the Jaguars and there is “optimism the team has dodged a serious setback.”

22 September 2026

Both reports we’ve had on Dobbins since Sunday’s win have been optimistic-sounding. It sounds like he has a good shot to play in Week 3 after leaving Week 2’s game, though we wouldn’t bet on him being any more than part of the committee against the Rams.

Giants coach John Harbaugh said “evaluations were still ongoing” on Jaxson Dart (knee) and declined to comment on his timeline to return.

22 September 2026

Harbaugh was scooped to his press conference by multiple reporters saying that Dart was likely to miss the remainder of the season, so he probably didn’t have time to change the talking points. It feels like we’re just waiting on this to be official at this point; the Giants will likely name Jameis Winston their starter on Wednesday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jaxson Dart’s knee injury is “worse than initially thought” and the team is now “facing the possibility of season-ending knee surgery.”

22 September 2026


Zach Bako-Bewele said he fully tore his patellar tendon and will undergo surgery.

22 September 2026

He faces a nine-month recovery; it was the same patellar tendon he partially tore last season. This is a brutal run-out for the 27-year-old. He’ll enter the 2027 season on a $17.9 million cap figure that the Packers could save money on if they wanted to invoke Post-June 1 designations.

The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider believes Jonah Coleman “figures to have a growing role in Denver’s offense, even when the backfield is at full strength.”

22 September 2026

It’s worth noting that Sean Payton intimated that both RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins could be available for Week 3 at a Monday presser. The rookie back looked good in his first extended action in Week 2 with both runners out; that does not mean he’s going to have a major role in the backfield in Week 3. We’ll see how the week plays out. Coleman is still worth a speculative waiver add, especially in 12- and 14-team leagues.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tyson Bagent is in concussion protocol.

22 September 2026


Falcons placed CB A.J. Terrell (groin) on injured reserve.

22 September 2026

He’ll miss at least the next four games. CJ Henderson will take over at cornerback. The Falcons used Terrell’s roster spot to re-sign Zach Harrison to the active roster from their practice squad.

Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) returned to practice on Tuesday.

22 September 2026

With Michael Penix already named the starter, Tagovailoa will be aiming to back him up in Week 3’s TNF clash with the Packers.

Eagles signed CB Kenny Moore to their practice squad.

22 September 2026

Rare for a practice-squad cornerback to have incentives up to $3 million, but that’s what happened for Moore here. He’ll likely be elevated a few times, then brought up to the active roster for the duration of the season.

Jets signed QB Will Levis, formerly of the Titans, to their practice squad.

22 September 2026

The Jets signed Levis after hosting a workout with the former Titan. Levis will likely start as the team’s QB3 and could have a chance to compete with Cade Klubnik for backup duties behind Geno Smith at some point. Levis was one of the NFL’s most inefficient quarterbacks during his time as Tennessee starter.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said he’s “not sure” if Puka Nacua (groin) will play in Week 3.

22 September 2026

McVay said he’s “hopeful” Nacua, who missed Monday night’s game against the Giants, will be able to suit up against Denver next week. The Rams offense was fine without Nacua on Monday against an injury-ravaged Giants team. LA had the week’s fourth highest EPA per play on the way to a 28-6 win. Another game with Nacua sidelined will mean more target domination for Davante Adams and more involvement for Terrance Ferguson, who caught 6-of-9 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown against Ne ...

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes Jacob Cowing could be the primary replacement for Demarcus Robinson (ankle).

22 September 2026

Robinson suffered a severe ankle sprain in Sunday’s win against the Dolphins and could miss significant time. Cowing ran seven pass routes after Robinson’s exit from the game — the most among all Niners receivers besides Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans. Cowing was not targeted against Miami. If he gets a bump on snaps and routes this week against the Cardinals, Cowing would be nothing more than a deep league flex play who would likely be a boom-bust option.

Giants head coach John Harbaugh said Brian Burns sustained a low ankle sprain in Week 2 against the Rams.

22 September 2026

Burns was among the key Giants who went down with injury in a blowout loss to the Rams. Burns suffered the sprain in the fourth quarter and needed help getting to the sideline. Harbaugh said the team diagnosed Burns with a low ankle sprain. That could mean he won’t miss much time. New York’s defense, which has struggled through two games — giving up the NFL’s fourth highest offensive success rate — could be even more vulnerable without Burns in the lineup.

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Jaxson Dart is believed to have an MCL sprain.

22 September 2026

Dart is set to undergo more testing on Tuesday after injuring his knee early in Monday night’s loss to the Rams. Garafolo said players usually take 4-6 weeks to recover from an MCL sprain, though the extent of Dart’s injury remains to be seen. Dart, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, tried to talk Giants coaches into letting him re-enter Monday night’s game in the second half. Jameis Winston, who was miserably inaccurate and mistake-prone against the Rams, would figure to get at least a ...
