Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is participating in practice Wednesday, Sept. 17.
Footballguys view: A good sign here. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said he "expects" to get Kirk back in Week 3. The Texans need all the help they can get from guys not named Nico Collins. Getting Kirk back out there as the no.2 option would be a boost. If he plays against the Jaguars, we like him as a deep flex play. |

CB Taron Johnson (quadriceps), CB Cam Lewis (shoulder) and LB Shaq Thompson (hamstring, hand) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. CB Jordan Hancock (shoulder) fully participated in practice and is not on the injury report. The Bills only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so the practice report is an estimation.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (knee) may miss some practice time this week but should be ready to play in the Week 3 game, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Footballguys view: We're feeling great here with the report Mayfield did not need to undergo any tests because of his injury. Against the Jets on Sunday, Mayfield should finish the week as a top-10 fantasy quarterback. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals (knee) will practice with no limitations on Wednesday, Sept. 17.
Footballguys view: Until Royals gets on the field, we'll just keep the rookie on dynasty radars and that's it for now. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) will have no limitations in practice on Wednesday, Sept. 17.
Footballguys view: Good news for the Chiefs here. They're 0-2 and falling behind in the AFC West, so getting Worthy out there can help. He's a speed demon who can fly down the field and be a big-play target for Patrick Mahomes. Don't start him his first week back, but take a wait-and-see approach to see how Worthy looks upon his return. |
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (turf toe) will not be ruled out for the season, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Footballguys view: Burrow's surgery to repair this toe injury has yet to happen, but it should be sometime here in the near future. When the Bengals get to the end of the regular season, Burrow could be ready for a return. However, if they're out of the playoff picture then there would be no need for him to play in mid-to-late December. Jake Browning is the starter for most of his year and we'll see how quickly Burrow can recover from surgery after a few months. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) had a good rehab session Wednesday, Sept. 17, and won't practice until Friday, Sept. 19, at the earliest, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Footballguys view: Let's not get over the moon with this report. Daniels is unlikely to be ready to play for Week 3's contest against the Raiders. That means Marcus Mariota is next man up at the quarterback position. We've seen him look good in a Kliff Kingsbury offense, but it's likely to downgrade the numbers for Terry McLaurin, Zach Ertz, and Deebo Samuel. |
New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor will start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3.
Footballguys view: The Buccaneers present a tough challenge for the Jets this week. Taylor has a ton of experience and can use his legs to escape pressure. That makes him a consideration for Fantasy GMs in deeper superflex leagues. Adjust your expectations for WR Garrett Wilson this week as he might be best considered a WR2 with Taylor under center. |
Tyrod Taylor player page
New York Jets QB Justin Fields (concussion) was ruled out for Week 3.
Footballguys view: Fields sustained the first concussion of his pro career last week and is unable to get through the league's protocol in time to play in Week 3. That means the Jets turn to Tyrod Taylor as the starter. Taylor is a runner which makes him an option in deeper superflex leagues. Fantasy GMs with Garrett Wilson might think of him more as a WR2 with Taylor in the lineup. |

Los Angeles Chargers LB Khalil Mack (elbow) will miss a few weeks with a dislocated elbow, but the injury is not expected to end his season.
Footballguys view: Broncos QB Bo Nix can breathe a sigh of relief as he prepares to play a Chargers defense without Mack. The elbow injury is not serious enough to knock him out for the rest of the season, and most expect him back at some point in October. |

The Vikings are placing starting RB Aaron Jones on injured reserve, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
Footballguys view: Jones was ruled out of Sunday's game because of a hamstring injury. Now he's out for at least four more games. Jordan Mason has 24 carries over the first two games and now becomes RB1. The team is also bringing back Cam Akers to the practice squad. |
Aaron Jones Sr. player page
Free-agent RB Cam Akers (Saints) signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Footballguys view: With Aaron Jones sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Vikings are turning to a familiar face. Akers will return for a third stint with the franchise. There's no word on whether Akers will sign with the 53-man roster or the practice squad. Akers, 26, played under Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell with the Rams when O'Connell was the Los Angeles' offensive coordinator. The two won Super Bowl LVI together to cap the 2021 season. Jordan Mason is expected to handle a featured role in Jones' absence. |
Cam Akers player page
Free-agent QB Desmond Ridder (Bengals) was signed by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Footballguys view: By signing Ridder to the 53-man roster, not the practice squad, the Vikings gain flexibility to potentially have an experienced starter as QB2, rather than press an undrafted rookie, Max Brosmer, into action if something happens to Carson Wentz while a high-ankle sprain sidelines J.J. McCarthy. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers OT Luke Goedeke (foot) is expected to miss some time after aggravating an injury he came into Week 2 with.
Link to storyBills quarterback Josh Allen will be sporting a new look on Thursday night. Allen had to leave Sunday's win over the Jets for a brief period after he got hit in the face at the end of a running play. Allen's nose was bleeding, but he returned with gauze in one nostril and had no further issues in the game. On Tuesday, Allen said he's "a little bruised up" but otherwise fine heading into this week's game. He was sporting a visor on his helmet at practice and said he thinks he will wear it as further protection on Thursday.
Footballguys view: "We'll see. We'll probably wear it in the game," Allen said in his press conference. "Just trying to get used to it." Allen has not worn a visor in an NFL game, but wore one in college. He said it doesn't have much impact outside of being "warmer" than his usual helmet. Allen was not on the injury report on Monday, and he will be ready to play in Week 3. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (turf toe) was placed on injured reserve by the team on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Footballguys view: The move was expected after the turf toe injury Burrow suffered in Sunday's win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. On Monday, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed that Burrow will need surgery. The expectation is that Burrow will be out for a minimum of three months. Jake Browning will move into the starting lineup to replace Burrow. Brett Rypien was elevated from the practice squad to serve as Browning's backup. The team added quarterbacks Mike White and Sean Clifford to the practice squad. |

Houston Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. He has missed the first two games of the season for the Texans.
Footballguys view: The Texans sit at 0-2 with a need for offensive help and hope Kirk can provide that. Through two games, the Texans have scored only two touchdowns and rank last in points per game (14). The pass protection hasn't been great either. Quarterback C.J. Stroud has been under pressure on 39% of his dropbacks, seventh-most among starting quarterbacks, according to Next Gen Stats. The hope is that Kirk's return can help open up the offense to get Stroud going while taking attention off of Pro Bowl wideout Nico Collins. We'll be watching for more. |

Indianapolis Colts LB Austin Ajiake was signed off the practice squad on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Link to storyUpdating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Calijah Kancey (pectoral) is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
Footballguys view: The Bucs took Kancey with the 19th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and although calf injuries have caused him to miss time, he's been a starter when healthy since the beginning of his rookie year. Along with Pro Bowler Vita Vea, Kancey has played an integral role in the Bucs' push up the middle, registering a team-leading 7.5 sacks last season despite only seeing action in 12 games due to a calf injury. It's a significant loss for the NFC South favorites, who may find themselves in the market for some depth on the defensive line. |
