Cherelus (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Cherelus sustained a shoulder injury against the Falcons in Week 2. The injury prevented him from practicing during Week 3 prep, and with Devin Lloyd (calf) also not playing against Cleveland, one of rookie seventh-rounder Jackson Kuwatch and veteran Tyrel Dodson will start alongside Bobby Okereke at inside linebacker. Cherelus will aim to recover enough to play in Week 4 against the Lions on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Scott (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Scott was a DNP all week due to a rib injury he sustained in Carolina's Week 2 win over Atlanta. In his absence, Lathan Ransom and rookie fifth-rounder Zakee Wheatley are the top candidates to start at safety next to Tre'von Moehrig. Scott's next chance to play is Week 4 against Detroit on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Lloyd was held out of practice all week due to a calf injury he likely picked up during the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons in Week 2. Claudin Cherelus (shoulder) will also not play against Cleveland, leaving veteran Tyrel Dodson and rookie seventh-rounder Jackson Kuwatch as the top candidates to start alongside Bobby Okereke at inside linebacker. Lloyd's next chance to suit up is Week 4 against the Lions on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Parkinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Denver, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson officially went down as a non-participant on all three of the Rams' Week 3 injury reports due to a knee issue, but coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register that the tight end was going to take part in Friday's jog-through and was "trending in the right direction" ahead of Sunday's matchup. Ultimately, Parkinson's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available he may not be able to handle the 70-plus percent snap share he handled in both of L.A.'s first two games of the campaign.

Fitzpatrick (groin) won't play in Sunday's game versus Detroit, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Fitzpatrick was injured in the 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1. He didn't play in the 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers in Week 2, so he will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest. The veteran's next opportunity to get back on the field will come in Week 4 in Chicago. In the meantime, Andre Cisco is in line to make his second straight start.

Nwangwu (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

It looks like Nwangwu will miss each of the Jets' first three games of the regular season due to a back injury he picked up in a practice prior to the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans. He was a DNP in all three practices during Week 3 prep, so a return to practice in at least a limited capacity would be a positive step in Nwangwu's recovery. Isaiah Williams will continue to serve as the Jets' primary returner on kickoffs and punts for as long as Nwangwu is sidelined.

Evans (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Evans returned to drills Friday after sitting out the previous two days due to a hip injury, which has left his status up in the air ahead of Sunday's matchup. His status should receive some clarity about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

With fellow rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Bell took on a larger role in Miami's passing game despite recently dealing with fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Doctors told him it isn't a major concern, and Bell then told reporters Thursday that he plans to play Week 3.

Head coach Robert Saleh indicated Friday that the Titans will give Singleton more carries in the team's Week 3 road tilt against the Giants on Sunday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The rookie fifth-rounder has taken a back seat to both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, with Singleton being a healthy scratch Week 1 before logging four carries for 10 yards during the Titans' Week 2 loss against the Eagles. Spears is questionable for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, and his absence would open the door for Singleton to operate as the Titans' RB2 behind Pollard. That said, even if Spears is cleared to play, it sounds like the Titans' coaching staff wants Singleton more involved in the offense.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports.

Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury.
