  • DET Wide Receiver #5
    ESPN’s Field Yates reports Lions signed WR Allen Robinson to their practice squad.
    It’s hard to believe that it’s been four years since Robinson amassed a whopping 102 receptions with the Bears in 2020. The veteran pass-catcher has bounced around the league during the subsequent three years, spending time with the Rams and Steelers after leaving Chicago following the 2021 season. He spent under four months with the Giants before being released Tuesday during final roster cuts.
  • 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.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #80
    Eagles elevated Parris Campbell from the practice squad for Week 3 against the Falcons.
    Campbell is a notable elevation with AJ Brown sidelined for Monday Night’s game against the Falcons. The wideout could see some targets with Brown unavailable, but there still isn’t much fantasy upside in the former second-round pick’s profile.
  • FA Tight End #88
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Chiefs are waiving TE Peyton Hendershot.
    Hendershot was acquired for a conditional 2026 seventh-round selection late in August from the Cowboys. Those conditions are unlikely to be met, as the Chiefs played Hendershot in just one game. He could be of interest to teams looking for some depth in the tight end room.
  • Running Back #27
    Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs will bring in free agent RB Kareem Hunt for a visit Tuesday.
    The Chiefs are going to be without Isiah Pacheco for 6-8 weeks, and with Clyde Edwards-Helaire also on injured reserve, Kansas City is low on tailbacks. Hunt, of course, is a former third-round pick who had success with Kansas City, but was released after a tape was released showing him committing a heinous act of domestic violence. In 2023 for the Browns, Hunter ran for 411 yards on 135 carries while adding 15 receptions for 84 yards.
