Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Bowers opens up Week 2 with a DNP designation, still recovering from a meniscus trim he had just over a week ago. Head coach Klint Kubiak said Bowers is “day-to-day” on Monday, but that may be more week-to-week as the 23-year-old has yet to return to practice. Michael Mayer is a solid high-end TE2 in his place. Bowers still has a chance to practice the rest of this week, but his currently on the wrong side of questionable for Week 2 against the Chargers.

Chargers DT Teair Tart (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Tart and DB Elijah Molden (hamstring) were listed as non-participants due to injuries for the Chargers’ defense Wednesday. Both are starters for the defense; Tart’s potential absence in the middle of the defensive line would especially open things up for Ashton Jeanty and the Raiders’ run game for Week 2.

Texans EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Clowney was listed as a non-participant as he deals with a knee injury. This could certainly be a precautionary measure for the veteran, but something to monitor for the Texans’ pass-rush rotation heading into Week 2. Dalton Schultz also did not participate, but was listed as having a rest day and should have no concerns for this week’s matchup against the Bengals.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride was seen working off to the side on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

This could simply be a veteran rest day after the 26-year-old tight end posted a 9/95/1 receiving line against the Chargers in Week 1. Teams frequently allow star players to sit out during the week’s first official practice. The official injury report should come out soon. Until then, there is no reason to panic.

Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Collins popped up on the Texans’ injury report as a limited practice participant Wednesday. It’s unclear if Collins injured it in Week or during practice, but soft tissue injuries tend to pop up as players ease back into the swing of the season. With Jayden Higgins (ACL) out for the season, the Texans will need Kayshon Boutte to step up fast in a banged-up pass-catching group. Also limited was EDGE Will Anderson, though there should be no concerns there as he was listed for rest. Fantasy ma ...

Chris Jones (calf) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Jones was a midweek addition to the injury report ahead of Week 1, though he ultimately played through the knee issue. Despite being limited to roughly half of the snaps on defense, Jones still managed to make an impact by scooping up a Bo Nix fumble. A limited practice on Wednesday shouldn’t be too concerning for his odds of suiting up in Week 2.

Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley (toe) did not practice on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

Ravens LG John Simpson (groin) was also sidelined. Both players are long-time veterans, so hopefully this is more of a maintenance issue than anything else. Losing the left side of the offensive line would make things more challenging for QB Lamar Jackson against the Saints.

Josh Simmons (back) did not practice Wednesday.

16 September 2026

Simmons missed the Chiefs’ 2026 opener with the back issue and isn’t likely to suit up this week either. Kahlil Benson, a UDFA rookie, took his spot at left tackle in Week 1. Benson allowed three pressures and was penalized once, but he did not allow a sack and held his own in the run game. He will draw the start in Week 2.

Patrick Mahomes (knee) is practicing in full for Week 2 against the Colts.

16 September 2026

Rashee Rice (knee) is also practicing in full. Both players underwent offseason knee procedures and had slow ramp-ups during the summer. Both players were active for Week 1 and found the end zone. Mahomes did so on the ground, putting the notion that he would be hampered by the knee issue to rest. The passing attack still looked shaky in Week 1, but there are no health concerns for either player. Mahomes will be a low-end QB1 versus the Colts, and Rice will hold a spot in the WR2 ranks.

Anthony Richardson (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

16 September 2026

It’s unclear how Richardson picked up the groin injury after not playing a snap in Week 1. He earned the backup job during the summer but will now hand that over to Riley Leonard if he isn’t able to suit up this week.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) was limited on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

This is a new injury for the Steelers’ leading receiver. Typically, limited sessions on Wednesday are nothing to worry about, but since it is a new injury and we do not know when it happened, checking in on his Thursday status will be worthwhile. If Pittman is unable to play, it would negatively impact QB Aaron Rodgers’ outlook.

DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the

16 September 2026

The Cowboys are already without fellow starter Malik Hooker because of a broken bone in his wrist. Overshown is expected to miss a week or two with a hamstring strain. After getting decimated by Jaxon Dart in Week 1, the Cowboys will now have to face the Commanders without two of their starters on defense. This is as good as bounce-back spots get for the Washington offense.

Steelers CB Joey Porter (NIR/conditioning) was limited on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

Porter’s strange situation continues. The Steelers’ No. 1 cornerback spent August on the active/physically unable to perform list with a back injury. He also spent August pursuing a lucrative contract extension. Porter did not play in Week 1. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said he increased his workload today, but he is still not guaranteed to play in Week 2.

Patriots CB Carlton Davis (neck) did not practice on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

Neck injuries are concerning. Davis is seemingly in jeopardy of missing his team’s Week 2 game against the Steelers. Hopefully, this is only a minor issue for the veteran cornerback.

Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker (hamstring) is practicing in full for Week 2 against the Browns.

16 September 2026

The Buccaneers should have their RB3 on hand against the Browns this weekend, though Tucker is not expected to contribute in a fantasy-relevant manner. He is just a deep-league bench stash at this time.

Cam Jordan (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Jordan suffered a hamstring injury during training camp and was unable to suit up for the Saints’ 2026 opener. A limited practice today is progress, but it doesn’t guarantee he will be ready for Week 2. The Saints lifer returned to New Orleans for his 16th season this year. He totaled 10.5 sacks last year.

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy (wrist) is practicing in full for Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

16 September 2026

Jeudy is on track to play, but he is seemingly being phased out of the offense. Browns rookie WRs Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion are establishing themselves as impactful starters, and their roles should only grow in the coming weeks. Jeudy should be left on waivers.

Alec Pierce (heel) is practicing in full for Week 2 against the Chiefs.

16 September 2026

The Athletic’s James Boyd noted that Pierce also had his wrist X-rayed after the game, though neither that nor the heel injury is a concern for him going forward. Ashton Dulin missed practice with a hamstring injury. Pierce was targeted six times in Week 1 despite having his snaps limited. He caught four passes for 61 yards. He will be a boom/bust WR3 for his Week 3 matchup with Kansas City.

Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

16 September 2026

Thomas Jr. left the Jags’ Week 1 win over the Browns in the first half, though he eventually got back on the field after halftime. It’s believed to be a reaggravation of the shoulder injury he dealt with during training camp. While Liam Coen has already said he expected BTJ to play in Week 2, a lingering shoulder injury isn’t going to do him any favors as he attempts to bounce back from a quiet Week 1. Thomas Jr. will be stuck at the back of the WR3 ranks for his date with the Broncos on ...

Bears OT Ozzy Trapilo (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

16 September 2026

Trapilo is working his way back from a season-ending patellar tendon rupture. Starting Bears RT Darnell Wright (knee) was unable to practice at all today. These injuries are worth watching with a game against the blitz-heavy Vikings coming up this weekend.
