Collins was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Collins spent time on IR during the 2024 season due to a hamstring injury, but there's no indication yet that his status may be in question for Week 2. In any case, his status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his ability to play Sunday against the Bengals. Collins hauled in seven of 10 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Bills.

Nwangwu (back) is considered week-to-week, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Nwangwu didn't play in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans. It appears he won't suit up versus Green Bay, though it's anyone's guess when he will get back on the field. The 2021 No. 119 overall pick most recently appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Jets during the 2025 campaign, totaling 13 carries for 49 yards.

The 49ers signed Hodge from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Hodge was on the field for the 27-7 win over the Rams in Week 1. He is now back on the active roster for the Week 2 meeting with Miami, though he will likely spend most of his time on special teams.

Muse was signed to the active roster by Atlanta on Wednesday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Muse was recently elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 20-13 loss to Pittsburgh. After reverting to the practice squad Monday, the 27-year-old is now back on the 53-man roster. However, with Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner and Austin Hooper healthy, Muse will presumably continue to spend most of his time on special teams.

To'oTo'o (shoulder) is expected to miss more than four games, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

To'oTo'o landed on injured reserve Tuesday, which will keep him off the field for at least four games. However, according to Garafolo, the 25-year-old is expected to be out "longer," possibly missing up to eight weeks. To'oTo'o finished the 2025 campaign by amassing 95 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games.

Penix (knee) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Penix practiced fully from Wednesday through Friday last week and ultimately was inactive for Week 1, so he is not a lock to suit up for Week 2 just yet. However -- per the same source above -- he shared the first-team work with Cooper Rush on Wednesday, and -- via Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com -- Penix himself indicated he could take the field Sunday. It likely will not be known for a day or two who will start at quarterback for the Falcons in Week 2, but at the least Penix is in the mix.

Flowers (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice.

Flowers aggravated a hamstring issue from the preseason during Sunday's win over the Colts. He had piled up a career-high 150 yards in the first half but did not return to action after the aggravation. Coach Jesse Minter called Flowers day-to-day earlier Wednesday. Flowers' next chance to practice will come Thursday, but at this stage his status for Week 2 is murky at best. Baltimore's receiving depth is being tested early as rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) is on injured reserve after undergoing surgery.

Pierce (hand/wrist) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Pierce was listed on the injury report with the heel injury he dealt with previously and not the wrist issue he picked up in Week 1, but neither prevented him from getting in a full session Wednesday. As such, consider Pierce in the clear for his team's Week 2 matchup with the Chiefs.

Jones projects to have a bigger role in the coming weeks with Jordan Mason (thumb) on short-term injured reserve, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Jones impressed in Week 1 with a touchdown but played only 30 snaps, as Jordan Mason ate up a decent amount of reps as well. With Mason out for at least four weeks, Jones projects to lead the backfield while DeeJay Dallas, Demond Claiborne and Jerome Ford serve as depth options.

Kamara (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

New Orleans' backfield will get a boost in Week 2 with Kamara back in the mix after missing the season opener with a knee injury. The veteran injured his knee late in the preseason and returned to practice ahead of Week 1 but was not yet ready to give it a go. His full practice Wednesday points to Kamara being available for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
