In addition to starting linebacker Pat Angerer and starting safety LaRon Landry, the Colts listed these players as inactive for Sunday's game in San Francisco: defensive tackle Montori Hughes, wideouts David Reed (quad) and Da'Rick Rogers, center Samson Satele (elbow) and running back Kerwynn Williams.

In addition to tight end Vernon Davis, who is out with a hamstring injury, these 49ers are inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts: running back LaMichael James (knee), quarterback B.J. Daniels, wideouts Chris Harper and Jon Baldwin, linebacker Nathan Stupar and guard Joe Looney.

The Cardinals' list of inactives for Week 3 at New Orleans includes defensive lineman Dan Williams, quarterback Ryan Lindley, running back Ryan Williams, linebacker Kevin Minter (hamstring), offensive lineman Bobby Massie, offensive lineman Earl Watford and tight end D.C. Jefferson.

With Ray Rice (hip) officially inactive in Week 3, the Ravens will turn to Bernard Pierce as the starting running back Sunday against the Ravens. This move was expected after Rice's injury kept him out of practice throughout the week. 

The Cowboys official inactive list featured seven players for Week 3 against the Rams, two of whom were listed on the injury report. Along with linebacker Ernie Sims (groin) and defensive lineman Anthony Spencer (knee), the Cowboys also listed offensive linemen David Arkin and Darrion Weems, tight end Andre Smith, running back Joseph Randle, and defensive lineman David Carter as inactive. 

Panthers cornerback D.J. Moore (knee), cornerback Josh Thomas (concussion), running back Kenjon Barner (foot), safety Quintin Mikell (ankle), cornerback James Dockery (thumb, shoulder) and defensive end Frank Alexander are among the team's inactives Week 3 vs. N.Y. Giants.

Patriots running back Brandon Bolden (knee) is active for Week 3 at home against Tampa Bay. Bolden may see more Week 3 touches Sunday with Leon Washington out for New England against Tampa Bay. Bolden has yet to play this season. 

Rams running back Daryl Richardson (foot) is active for Week 3 against the Cowboys, despite being limited at times this week during practice. Richardson was not expected to miss any time due to the injury, as he was listed as probable for the game.

Given that Ray Rice was unable to practice all week and is considered doubtful for Week 3 against the Texans, it comes as no surprised that Bernard Pierce is looking at a big role for the Ravens Sunday. According to the Baltimore Sun, Pierce is expected to get the start, with Rice's injury likely to keep him sidelined. 

Broncos running back C.J. Anderson was not limited by a knee injury in practice, and is officially probable for Week 3 against the Raiders Monday.
