Deablo (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Deablo drew the questionable tag for Sunday's NFC South tilt after working through an illness during Week 2 prep, but the fifth-year pro has been given the green light to play against Carolina. He played every single defensive snap during the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers in Week 1, when he logged seven tackles (three solo) and one fumble recovery.

Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Bears' emergency third quarterback against the Vikings on Sunday.

Tyson Bagent was inactive for Week 1 against the Panthers but has been cleared to play for Week 2, so he'll serve as the Bears' backup quarterback for Caleb Williams while Keenum serves as the emergency QB3. As such, Keenum is prohibited from playing in Sunday's game unless both Williams and Bagent were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

McKee (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Titans.

McKee will be the emergency option for the Eagles in consecutive weeks. The 26-year-old will only enter the game if both active quarterbacks cannot continue to play. The quarterback should stay in this role throughout the 2026 season unless Jalen Hurts or Andy Dalton suffers an injury.

Hill (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Texans.

Hill was on the field for 41 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in Week 1 against Tampa Bay but didn't record a tackle or any counting stat. He only appeared in a limited fashion on Thursday during the practice week, which set the stage for his inactive status. He'll look to return Week 3 against Pittsburgh.

McMillan (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

McMillan finally is putting the knee injury that has bothered him since early August behind him, but per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Sunday morning, the third-year pro isn't expected to handle his normal workload. If McMillan is indeed operating on a snap count, he could yield more of the third-wide-receiver duties to rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst, which effectively could make McMillan the fourth option at the position behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Hurst. In 17 regular-season contests in his career, McMillan has combined for a 49-639-8 line on 73 targets.

Olave (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave made an early exit from Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, but it was considered a precautionary measure at the time, per Underhill. Olave remained limited Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 2 action, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver was slated to play. Prior to being confirmed as active, Olave was expected to have no limitations on his workload, according to Underhill, a reality that amounted to 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 182 yards in a season-opening overtime loss in Detroit.

Tagovailoa (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Tagovailoa was listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest and Cooper Rush was already announced as the starter, so it comes as little surprise that Tagovailoa will not suit up. It's unclear if Tagovailoa will miss any further action, but he and the Falcons will have a quick turnaround with the Falcons playing Thursday night in Week 3.

Burrow (back) is officially listed as active ahead of Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Texans.

A back injury surfaced for Burrow during the week, leading to back-to-back limited practices before a full session Friday. Coach Zac Taylor and other top sources consistently indicated Burrow would be "good to go," and Sunday's final inactives reports confirmed that sentiment. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Burrow will have no limitations in this road matchup. He'll look to lead the Bengals to 2-0 against a Houston defense that allowed the fewest total yards and second-fewest total points in the 2025 season (though it did allow Buffalo to put up 36 points in Week 1).

Jones (calf) is expected to play against the Colts on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jones was limited by a calf injury all week and drew the questionable tag for Sunday's home tilt, but the veteran defensive lineman is on track to be active against Indianapolis. He could operate under a limited snap count, which would result in more playing time for Khyiris Tonga, Peter Woods and Bryson Eason.

Hendrickson, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play through a broken finger while wearing a cast on his hand, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hendrickson was held out of the Ravens' first two practices of the week, but after logging a limited session Friday, he appears to be trending toward suiting up Sunday. After joining the Ravens on a four-year, $112 million deal in the offseason, Hendrickson had a quiet team debut in the Week 1 win over the Colts, finishing with just one solo tackle across 40 snaps.
