Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Returns for goal-line stand
Wilson (thumb) has returned to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Wilson was cleared to return to Sunday's contest just in time to assist the Cardinals' defense. The starting middle linebacker helped the unit stop the Seahawks' final series on the goal line, reclaiming the ball for the Cardinals offense for a final drive before halftime.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Steelers' DK Metcalf: Just 27 yards on nine targets
Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots.
Metcalf led the Steelers in targets again but put forth a second consecutive inefficient outing after turning 10 targets into just four catches for 40 yards in the season opener against the Falcons. Rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard led the team with 35 receiving yards Sunday in the absence of Michael Pittman (foot) as Aaron Rodgers threw for just 187 yards on 4.8 yards per pass attempt. Metcalf's heavy volume from Rodgers is encouraging, but Pittsburgh's passing game has underwhelmed as a whole heading into a Week 3 home game against the Bengals.

Aaron Jones RB | MIN
Vikings' Aaron Jones: Tops 100 rushing yards in low-scoring win
Jones carried the ball 23 times for 105 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.
Wet and windy conditions at Soldier Field put a damper on both teams' passing attacks, but Jones was able to keep the Minnesota offense moving on the ground. The veteran back saw a big workload with Jordan Mason (thumb) on IR, but Jones did briefly leave the game to tend to a minor knee injury in the fourth quarter. Assuming the knee doesn't linger, he figures to be busy again in a Week 3 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Solid, mistake-free effort in win
Burrow (back) completed 20 of 31 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding one rush for minus-1 yard in the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Burrow's workmanlike stat line underscores the type of road upset victory it was for the Bengals, who didn't need to be overly aggressive against a Texans offense missing Nico Collins (hamstring). Burrow, who came into the game dealing with back tightness, took his share of lumps in the form of five sacks, but he delivered dynamic 32- and 18-yard touchdown passes to Ja'Marr Chase. Burrow also notably avoided any turnovers despite being consistently under duress, and through his first two games, he's completed a solid 68.2 percent of his passes and posted three touchdowns versus one interception while operating under center more often than in recent seasons. Burrow will look to continue his solid early-season play in a Week 3 divisional road matchup against the Steelers next Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: No TDs, two turnovers in loss
Rodgers completed 23 of 39 passes for 187 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots. He also rushed once for five yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
Rodgers threw for just 84 yards on 22 first-half pass attempts as the Steelers took a 10-3 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get any better after halftime, as Rodgers lost a fumble in the fourth quarter that was scooped up by New England's defense for a touchdown and added an interception on a ball that hit rookie receiver Germie Bernard in the hands. Bernard and DK Metcalf turned 17 combined targets into just 62 yards as Pittsburgh's passing game struggled against New England's stout secondary in the absence of starting wide receiver Michael Pittman (foot). Things may not get much easier for Rodgers in Week 3 against a Bengals defense that just held Houston to six points.

Cardinals' Mack Wilson: Questionable to return with thumb injury
Wilson (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Wilson suffered a thumb injury in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. The middle linebacker made four tackles before leaving the game. Cody Simon has taken over at middle linebacker in Wilson's absence.

Saquon Barkley RB | PHI
Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Slated for MRI on shoulder stinger
Barkley said after Sunday's 24-20 win at Tennessee that he feels "alright," but he'll undergo an MRI after missing a portion of the game due to a stinger, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Barkley was diagnosed with a stinger after the Eagles' first offensive play of the game and missed the rest of the first half, but he was able to return after halftime, finishing with four carries for nine yards and one catch (on two targets) for 11 yards. Meanwhile, Tank Bigsby paced the backfield with 15 touches for 38 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD, and fellow RB Will Shipley turned nine touches into 29 total yards. If Barkley ends up missing any time, Bigsby likely would be the primary beneficiary, but Shipley also figures to have a role in Philadelphia's offense.

Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
49ers' Demarcus Robinson: Carted off field with ankle injury
Robinson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Robinson sustained the injury while hauling in a 20-yard pass from Brock Purdy in the second quarter. Robinson's injury was severe enough for him to be carted off the field and into the locker room, where he will undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge will take on larger roles offensively for as long as Robinson is out of the game.

Carson Wentz QB | MIN
Vikings' Carson Wentz: Can't overcome weather in Chicago
Wentz completed 11 of 20 passes for 143 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears. He added six yards on three carries.
Neither team reached 200 passing yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field, so Wentz had no real opportunity to build on his impressive performance last week in relief of Kyler Murray (concussion), when he threw three TDs. Murray could clear the concussion protocol in time to re-take the reins of the offense in Week 3, returning Wentz to the bench for a road trip to Tampa Bay after he led the Vikings to a 2-0 start to the season.

Jaylen Warren RB | PIT
Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Posts 77 yards as Dowdle (toe) exits
Warren rushed 11 times for 43 yards and caught two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots.
Warren led the team in rushing yards and came one receiving yard shy of Germie Bernard's team lead in a game that fellow Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) exited in the second quarter. If Dowdle isn't ready to play in Week 3, Warren would be in line for a heavy workload against the Bengals. Warren has 150 scrimmage yards on 28 touches through two games, which is a similar level of per-game production to the 2025 regular season, but he has yet to score in 2026 after posting eight total touchdowns last season.
