Bellinger (illness) does not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Bellinger popped up on Thursday's injury report as a DNP due to an illness. He was limited in Friday's practice, but he's been given the green light to play Sunday against the team that drafted him in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Bellinger has turned two targets into one catch for seven yards through two regular-season games while serving as the Titans' TE2 behind Gunnar Helm.

Brown (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Las Vegas.

Brown didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury and will now miss the first game of his career. The rookie logged a combined nine offensive snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, though his absence will be felt on special teams. As a result, Jayden Price may be busier than usual in Week 3. That could also apply to Kendre Miller (illness), assuming he's not a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game.

Hamilton (back) does not have an injury designation against the Patriots on Sunday.

A back issue limited Hamilton's practice participation all week, but he's been cleared by medical staff to enter the weekend without an injury tag. The seventh-year defensive lineman has seven tackles (two solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

Allen (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Allen shed the injury tag for Week 3 despite being a limited participant in all three practice sessions. He's seen little action offensively through two regular-season games as a depth backfield option behind Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah.

Miller (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Miller was under the weather Thursday, keeping him off the practice field. However, he was a full participant Friday. Miller was a healthy scratch for the 24-17 win over Baltimore in Week 2, meaning he is in danger of suffering the same fate versus Las Vegas, though his services may be needed on special teams with Barion Brown (hamstring) ruled out. With that in mind, if Miller is inactive, that would likely mean more work for Alvin Kamara and CJ Donaldson behind Travis Etienne.

O'Connell (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

O'Connell wasn't available against the Chargers in Week 2, and he was absent from all three practices during Week 3 prep while attending to a personal matter. He hasn't been ruled out for Sunday's game in New Orleans, but if isn't cleared to play, then Fernando Mendoza would be the lone backup to Kirk Cousins.

Stukes (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Stukes was a DNP all week while in the league's concussion protocol, which he entered during the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Chargers. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to play is Week 4 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 4, though a return to practice (in at least a limited capacity) would be an indication that Stukes is progressing through the league's protocol. Isaiah Pola-Mao should start at safety next to Jeremy Chinn for as long as Stukes is sidelined.

Sanders (Appendix) won't play in Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Sanders underwent an appendectomy Tuesday, so it's unknown how long he will be off the field. With Ed Oliver (hip) questionable, Landon Jackson may be busier than usual.

Tuipulotu (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills.

A hamstring injury limited Tuipulotu's practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant in Friday's session, which was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Week 3. The fourth-year pro has not logged a sack through the first two games of the regular season after recording a career-high 13.0 sacks across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

Barkley (stinger) said Friday that he's "feeling good" this week and will wear protective gear around his neck during Monday's contest at Chicago, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Barkley also relayed that he underwent an MRI earlier this week on his left shoulder to ensure there wasn't additional damage after he sustained a stinger in this past Sunday's win in Tennessee. He officially was a limited participant Thursday and took part in Friday's session, but unless he logs a full practice either Friday or Saturday, he seems destined to be tagged with a designation ahead of Week 3 action.
