Redskins running backs Roy Helu (knee) and Darrel Young (neck) are both active for Week 3 against the Eagles, after getting through the week in practice without issue. 

Ravens featured back Bernard Pierce has been given the stop sign for the Week 3 clash in Cleveland. He is inactive after having been listed as questionable with a thigh injury. The result is that Justin Forsett and Lorenzo Taliaferro will receive the bulk of the carries.

Ravens running back Bernard Pierce dealt with a thigh injury in practice this week and is "in serious doubt" to play against the Browns in Week 3 action, the Baltimore Sun reported Sunday morning. That would leave Justin Forsett and Lorenzo Taliaferro as the Ravens' top two backs for the game. 

Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew is expected to miss a second straight game following a procedure on his hand, NFL Network reported Sunday morning. The Raiders play at the Patriots. Darren McFadden and Latavius Murray will once again pick up the slack in his absence. 

Texans running back Arian Foster was limited in practice all week with a hamstring injury ans is viewed as a longshot to play today against the Giants, NFL Network reported this morning. In the event he is inactive, rookie running back Alfred Blue is expected to see a lot of work with tailback Jonathan Grimes pitching in. 

The Texans inactives will be in around 11:30 a.m. ET this morning. Watch Fantasy Football Today on CBSSports.com for the latest starting at 11 a.m. ET. 

Chiefs sideline reporter Kendall Gammon told CBS Sports Radio's Eye on Fantasy Football on Saturday night that he does not expect Jamaal Charles to play at Miami on Sunday. Gammon said Charles practiced a little bit on Thursday and Friday and was moving around okay but still was showing the effects of a high-ankle sprain.

Knile Davis is likely to start and see a bunch of snaps in place of Charles at Miami.

The Ravens signed running back Fitzgerald Toussaint from the practice squad and waived wide receiver Deonte Thompson Saturday. The move allows the team to have more depth at running back with Bernard Pierce (thigh) questionable to play in Week 3.

Jets cornerback Dee Milliner (quad/ankle) is doubtful to play in Monday night's game against the Bears.

Milliner sat out practice for a second straight day Saturday and is unlikely to suit up Monday. Wide receiver Eric Decker is questionable to play Monday, but the rest of the team's injured players participated in practice fully Saturday and are good to go, the Associated Press reports. Those players include running back Chris Johnson (ankle), safety Josh Bush (quad) and linebackers A.J. Edds (hamstring), Nick Bellore (hip) and Quinton Coples (elbow).

The Cardinals have nine players listed on the injury report for Week 3. Punter David Zastudil (groin) and linebacker Alex Okafor (thigh) were the only players officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Deemed questionable were tight end Rob Housler (hip), defensive tackle Frostee Rucker (calf) and quarterback Carson Palmer (shoulder).

Linebacker Kevin Minter (quad), center Lyle Sendlein (ankle), running back Andre Ellington (foot) and linebacker Larry Foote (shoulder) were each ruled probable for Sunday.

The Seahawks have listed nine players on the final injury report heading into Week 3.

Only Tharold Simon has been ruled out for the game. Bruce Irvin didn't practice throughout the week, but is questionable for the game. 

Kam Chancellor, Cooper Helfet, Marshawn Lynch, Christine Michael, Zach Miller, Mike Morgan and Kevin Pierre-Louis are all probable.
