  • IND Wide Receiver #6
    Isaiah McKenzie caught all four of his targets for 31 yards in the Colts’ Week 10 win over the Patriots.
    McKenzie seemingly got some extra run in this game with Josh Downs dealing with a knee injury. Downs did not practice during the week but managed to play through his questionable tag, though he was limited to three targets. With Downs getting the bye week to rest, he should retake the WR2 role in Indy’s offense for Week 12, keeping McKenzie out of the picture for fantasy purposes.
  • ATL Running Back #30
    Falcons declared RB Jase McClellan, CB Antonio Hamilton, DL Brandon Dorlus, OG Jovaughn Gwyn, OT Brandon Parker, and DL Ruke Orhorhoro inactive for Week 2 against the Eagles.
    No real surprises here after the list of inactives almost exactly mirrors the team’s Week 1 inactives list. The Falcons remain one of the healthier on-paper teams heading into Week 2.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    A.J. Brown is inactive for Monday Night Football in Week 2 against the Falcons.
    This was expected after he was ruled out on Monday, but is worth a reminder considering his high pedigree. Also inactive for the Eagles are QB Tanner McKee, CB Eli Ricks, LB Devin White, OL Darian Kinnard, OG Trevor Keegan, and DT Byron Young. McKee will serve as the team’s emergency quarterback.
  • SF Wide Receiver #1
    49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said WR Deebo Samuel (calf) will miss “a few weeks.”
    Samuel picked up a calf strain at some point in the 49ers’ Week 2 loss to the Vikings and is expected to miss time. It’s a massive blow to a team already without Christian McCaffrey due to Samuel’s increased rushing workload and schemed usage through the air in the absence of the All-Pro running back. George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jordan Mason will be asked to step up in their collective absence, while Jauan Jennings is likely to see a slight uptick in offensive snaps.
  • ATL Linebacker #53
    Falcons placed LB Nate Landman (quadricep) on injured reserve.
    Landman had been rehabbing a quad injury that has plagued him for the previous month and the team recently added a calf injury to his designation. He will now miss the next four games, at minimum. The Falcons signed DB Kevin King in a corresponding move Monday.
  • LAR Guard #72
    Rams LG Jonah Jackson will miss an “extended period of time” after aggravating his shoulder injury in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals.
    It sounds like Jackson is going to end up on injured reserve, which would sideline him until at least Week 8. The Rams’ left guard missed most of training camp with a shoulder issue. It’s a brutal, brutal blow for an already decimated and under-performing Rams offensive line. It’s frankly looking like a lost season in Los Angeles.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #10
    Rams coach Sean McVay confirms Cooper Kupp (ankle) will miss an “extended period of time” and is a candidate for injured reserve.
    It was the expected development after Kupp departed in the second quarter against the Cardinals Sunday. It’s at least his fourth ankle issue since 2022, and just the latest injury to keep him off the field since his historic 2021. We would definitely plan on Kupp landing on injured reserve later in the week, which would mean the earliest he could return would be Week 8 against the Vikings. Things are falling apart fast for the Rams. With Puka Nacua already on I.R., the Rams’ top pass catchers are now DeMarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson and TE Colby Parkinson. Robinson is the only one we would be “counting on” right now, and that’s as a WR4 in this injury-ravaged offense.
  • LAR Safety #43
    Rams S John Johnson III will miss 4-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a fractured scapula.
    Johnson will be placed on injured reserve after suffering the injury in the Week 2 loss to the Cardinals. The safety was re-signed by the Rams over the summer, and was starting at free safety prior to the injury. Kamren Kinchens — the Rams third-round pick of 2024 — will likely see the reps there with Johnson out.
  • Kicker #46
    The Giants brought in kickers Randy Bullock, Zane Gonzalez, Riley Patterson and Tanner Brown for a workout Monday.
    The Giants are going to be without Graham Gano for a few weeks, so the team needs a short-term fill-in. Bullock served as a replacement for the Giants last year, so it would seem he would have a leg up — pun kind of intended — for the gig.
  • GB Running Back #32
    MarShawn Lloyd told reporters Monday that he suffered a sprained ankle during Week 2 against the Colts.
    Lloyd said that he was day-to-day with the injury. The 23-year-old rushed six time for 15 yards and brought in one catch for three yards in his NFL debut, but he looked better than that line indicates. Whether Lloyd is able to go will hinge on his ability to return to practice, but even if he goes, Josh Jacobs is the bellcow of this offense.
  • GB Quarterback #10
    Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters that if Jordan Love (knee) were to play in Week 3 against the Titans that it would be “ideal” for him to be able practice.
    LaFleur also cautioned that ideal and prerequisite are not the same thing. Even with multiple reports suggesting that Love won’t be able to play until Week 5 with his MCL injury, the Packers continue to suggest that this is a week-to-week injury. Assuming Love doesn’t get cleared for that game against Tennessee, Malik Willis will be back under center for Green Bay against the Titans.
