**UPDATED AS OF SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 AT 6 PM ET**

🏈 AFC East

◆ Buffalo Bills

DJ Moore - WR (shoulder)

Moore suffered an AC joint sprain in the team’s Week 2 win over the Lions. He is reportedly day-to-day, and was limited, practicing in a red non-contact jersey on Wednesday. He is listed as questionable and is reportedly a game-time decision for Week 3.
Impact: Moore has stepped into one of the featured roles in the Buffalo offense after being acquired this offseason. An absence could further propel tight end Dalton Kincaid into elite territory. The talented young tight end has 225 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets through two games. Moore is firmly in the questionable camp at this time.

Keon Coleman - WR (ankle)

Coleman did not practice on Wednesday, ultimately drawing the questionable tag for Week 3.
Impact: Kincaid will handle a sizable workload in Week 3. Wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer could warrant FLEX consideration if Coleman does not play.

◆ Miami Dolphins

Caleb Douglas - WR (ankle)

Douglas suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 loss to the 49ers. Monday, head coach Jeff Hafley said it was too early to tell whether Douglas would play in Week 3. He did not practice on Wednesday before being ruled out for Week 3.
Impact: Douglas appears to be in legitimate danger of missing the team’s Week 3 game against the Chiefs. Should he be unable to go, expect Jalen Tolbert to be active for the first time this season while additional volume could land on Malik Washington‘s plate.

Chris Bell - WR (knee)

Bell was limited on Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play against the Chiefs.
Impact: This could simply be maintenance, but it is worth watching.
Washington is not a talented player, but he could take on a moderately FLEX-worthy target share this week.

◆ New England Patriots

A.J. Brown - WR (ankle)

The Patriots placed Brown on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain.
Impact: Brown was diagnosed with the dreaded high-ankle sprain and will now be forced to miss the next four games while on injured reserve, with the soonest he can return being in Week 6 when the Patriots host the Jets. Reports surfaced Monday stating that Brown will not require surgery. Mack Hollins stands to benefit in snap rate and route participation rate in his absence, although it was slot-man DeMario Douglas who led the team in route rate in their Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. There is a small possibility second-year receiver Kyle Williams is allowed to grow into the offense as a deep threat with a long week of practice before the Patriots take the field following their opening day loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

Eli Raridon - TE (thigh)

Raridon injured his thigh in Week 2 and was unable to practice the following Wednesday. He is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Impact: Starting tight end Hunter Henry would get a slight target share boost if Raridon cannot play.

◆ New York Jets

Omar Cooper - WR (ankle)

Cooper is considered week-to-week after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. The team placed him on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact: Cooper’s absence could afford rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq an opportunity to establish himself as a reliable contributor.

Adonai Mitchell - WR (finger)

Mitchell reportedly injured his finger in practice Thursday and was limited Friday. He is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Lions.
Impact: The team elevated two wide receivers from the practice squad Saturday, hinting at a potential absence from Mitchell. Garrett Wilson would be in line to see all the volume he can handle if Mitchell is unable to go, while rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq could step into a featured role for the first time in his young career.

Mason Taylor - TE (thumb)

Taylor is reportedly considered week-to-week after suffering a thumb injury, though head coach Aaron Glenn’s comments cloud Taylor’s outlook. He was ruled out for Week 3 Friday.
Impact: The injury should increase rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq‘s usage. He can be added in 12-team formats at this time.

🏈 AFC North

◆ Baltimore Ravens

Zay Flowers - WR (hamstring)

Flowers missed the team’s Week 2 loss to the Saints. Head coach Jesse Minter said he “has a good shot” to play in Week 3 against the Cowboys however, he was unable to practice on Wednesday. He is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Cowboys and will reportedly be on a snap count if active.
Impact: Flowers’ absence was significant to a team unable to sustain drives in the second half against the Saints, allowing their opponent to complete yet another comeback after the half. Fantasy managers will want to track Flowers’ participation level in practice this week. Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman functions as the de facto No. 1 wide receiver with Flowers sidelined.

Ja’Kobi Lane - WR (wrist)

Lane suffered a fractured wrist in the team’s Week 1 win over the Colts. He was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery.

Impact: The popular breakout candidate caught a touchdown that was called back due to a penalty before departing with a fractured wrist in Week 1, and will now miss significant time. Rashod Bateman ran a route on almost every Lamar Jackson dropback in Week 1 but failed to catch his lone target. It remains more likely that Zay Flowers, if healthy, and Mark Andrews continue to be the points of emphasis through the air. Keep an eye on rookie wide receiver Elijah Sarratt.

◆ Cincinnati Bengals

Andrei Iosivas - WR (thumb)

The Bengals placed Iosivas on injured reserve in Week 3.
Impact: Wide receivers Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers will duke it out for the No. 3 wide receiver role for at least the next four weeks. Meyers can be added in 14-team leagues, though his upside is questionable.

◆ Cleveland Browns

Dylan Sampson - RB (knee)

Sampson is expected to miss ‘significant time’ after suffering a knee injury in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. He was placed on injured reserve in Week 2.

Impact: Veteran journeyman Reheim Sanders stepped into the vacated change-of-pace and passing-down role, which is noteworthy considering it wasn’t lead back Quinshon Judkins who saw his role grow. This backfield appears as close to a full stay-away as possible in fantasy circles, at least for as long as Deshaun Watson remains the starter under center.

◆ Pittsburgh Steelers

Michael Pittman - WR (foot)

Pittman did not play in Week 2 while dealing with a foot injury. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he was unsure if Pittman would play in Week 3. Pittman was limited on Wednesday before drawing the questionable tag.

Impact: The Steelers fell on their face in a difficult matchup against the Patriots in Pittman’s absence, with rookie Germie Bernard the biggest beneficiary in the box score. Even so, he parlayed eight targets into only 35 yards, making him a poor bet for sustained fantasy production in the interim.

Rico Dowdle - RB (toe)

Dowdle is considered day-to-day, but was unable to practice on Wednesday. He was ruled out for Week 3 Friday.
Impact: See below.

Jaylen Warren - RB (shoulder)

Warren was limited on Wednesday. He was listed questionable for Week 3.
Impact: Warren is on track to handle a three-down role with Dowdle potentially sidelined. He warrants reliable RB2 treatment in this scenario.

🏈 AFC South

◆ Houston Texans

Nico Collins - WR (hamstring)

Collins is expected to miss two weeks after suffering a Grade 1 hamstring strain in Week 1. Head coach DeMeco Ryans did not have an update on his status Monday. As of Week 3’s Wednesday practice, Collins has not yet resumed practicing. He was ruled out for Week 3 Friday.

Impact: Collins has a long history of hamstring strains. Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson is a very inefficient player, but he will play often. Adding newcomer wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is a worthwhile move. The player most likely to lead the team in targets against the Bengals is tight end Dalton Schultz, who is a clear TE1 after erupting for 140 yards on 12 receptions against the Bengals in Week 2.

Tank Dell - WR (knee)

Dell will begin the season on injured reserve.

Impact: Dell will miss the first four games of the regular season, at minimum. Expect Jaylin Noel to serve as the primary slot receiver while newcomer Kayshon Boutte starts on the perimeter opposite Nico Collins, for the time being.

Jayden Higgins - WR (knee)

Higgins saw his 2026 season taken from him due to a torn ACL suffered in camp.

Impact: It’s a massive blow to a Texans team that was counting on Higgins taking another step forward in his Sophomore campaign. The team traded for Kayshon Boutte in the wake of the injury.

◆ Indianapolis Colts

Alec Pierce - WR (heel)

Pierce aggravated the injury that required offseason surgery in Week 2. The Colts placed him on injured reserve in Week 3. He will attempt to avoid surgery by rehabbing his injured heel.

Impact: Josh Downs should serve as the primary option through the air for as long as Pierce remains sidelined. The team signed veteran field-stretcher Darius Slayton in the wake of Pierce’s injury, although he is unlikely to return weekly fantasy production.

◆ Jacksonville Jaguars

Jakobi Meyers - WR (thumb)

Meyers begins Week 3 with another limited practice. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3 against the Patriots.
Impact: Minimal. Meyers remains a WR4/flex starter.

◆ Tennessee Titans

Tony Pollard - RB (ankle)

Pollard did not practice on Wednesday.
Impact: See below

Tyjae Spears - RB (ankle)

Spears did not practice on Wednesday. Spears is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Giants.

Impact: Titans head coach Robert Saleh said both Pollard and Spears were dealing with “soreness” on Wednesday morning, but their sidelining was still surprising. Both players have a chance to play, but rookie running back Nicholas Singleton must be rostered wherever he is available.

🏈 AFC West

◆ Denver Broncos

RJ Harvey - RB (hamstring)

Harvey missed the team’s Week 2 win over the Jaguars, but resumed practicing on Wednesday in a limited capacity. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3.
Impact: See below.

J.K. Dobbins - RB (hamstring)

Dobbins was unable to finish the team’s Week 2 win over the Jaguars due to hamstring cramping. Tom Pelissero reported Monday that Dobbins’ hamstring is “good.” He practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3.
Impact: See below.

Jonah Coleman - RB (ankle)

Coleman did not practice on Wednesday. The team shocked fantasy managers Saturday, sending him to short-term injured reserve. He will eligible to return in mid-October.
Impact: Coleman was initially viewed as the potential Week 3 starter, given Harvey and Dobbins’ ailments. Dobbins and and Harvey will revert to a backfield tandem in the rookie’s absence.

Marvim Mims - WR (foot)

Mims was ruled out for Week 2 on Saturday, but resumed practicing to begin Week 3. He is listed as questionable.

Impact: The boom-bust wide receiver remains a frustratingly volatile player. He is not worth rostering in 12-team leagues.

◆ Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs emerged from their Week 2 win over the Colts absent any fantasy-relevant injuries.

◆ Las Vegas Raiders

Brock Bowers - TE (knee)

Bowers will reportedly miss “a game or two” after undergoing a meniscus trim in Week 1. He did not play in Week 2, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport told viewers to “expect” Bowers to play in Week 3. He was limited on Wednesday and is listed questionable for Week 3.

Impact: Bowers will immediately re-enter the overall TE1 discussion in active in Week 3.

◆ Los Angeles Chargers

Charlie Kolar - TE (forearm)

The team intended to place Kolar on injured reserve, but his prognosis changed during surgery.

Impact: The Chargers’ receiving specialist tight end Oronde Gadsden is the clear-cut starter in the short term. While they will certainly address depth in the coming days, Gadsden has all the runway in the world to re-enter the TE1 ranks and should be added in all formats.

David Njoku - TE (fibula)

Njoku is looking at an extended absence after being carted from the field in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Raiders. The Chargers placed him on injured reserve in Week 3.

Impact: See above.

Brenen Thompson - WR (hip)

Thompson did not practice on Wednesday. He was ruled out for Week 3.
Impact: Thompson tied for a team-high three targets last week, and ran the fourth-most routes at the position (12). Were he to miss Week 3, the Chargers’ wide receiver corps would meaningfully shrink.

🏈 NFC East

◆ Dallas Cowboys

Malik Davis - RB (hip)

Davis was placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.

Impact: The Cowboys released both Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah at roster cuts and now have only Emari Demercado on the active roster behind starter Javonte Williams. Expect Israel Abanikanda to be elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 2, while Williams appears likely to see all the work he can handle against the Commanders. Williams is a locked-in RB1 in Week 2.

◆ New York Giants

Jaxson Dart - QB (knee)

Dart injured his MCL, PCL and meniscus on the team’s first possession of Monday Night Football against the Rams. He will undergo surgery to address the MCL and meniscus and miss the rest of the regular season. Giants head coach John Harbaugh said it is possible for Dart to return in the postseason, although this is unlikely.

Impact: Backup Jameis Winston was largely unable to sustain drives following Dart’s departure. Dart’s absence has an adverse effect on all skill position players in New York, most notably Malik Nabers, Isaiah Likely, and Cam Skattebo. We’ll know more regarding Dart’s expected timeline later this week.

Malik Nabers - WR (shoulder)

Nabers briefly departed the team’s Week 2 loss to the Rams with a shoulder injury, telling reporters post-game that it was a dislocation. He was limited on Wednesday and removed from the injury report Friday. He will play against the Titans in Week 3.
Impact: Nabers has had shoulder issues dating back to his time in college, with the most recent scare likely a result of his choice not to address the issue via offseason surgery during the same time he had his ACL reconstructed and meniscus repaired. Time will tell if this becomes something more serious. Fantasy managers will likely be forced to continue to start Nabers, even with the recent injury concerns and with Winston under center. That doesn’t mean it’ll feel great.

◆ Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley - RB (stinger)

Barkley suffered a stinger in Week 2. He attempted to play through it but was unable to. He was removed from the injury report Saturday and will play on Monday Night Football against the Bears.
Impact: Eagles No. 2 running back Tank Bigsby is a must-add. No. 3 running back Will Shipley can be stashed in deep 12-team leagues.

DeVonta Smith - WR (hamstring)
Smith was limited in practice Thursday but removed from the injury report Saturday. He will play in Week 3 against the Bears.
Impact: Smith will serve as the unquestioned lead dog through the air against one of the weaker secondaries in the league on Monday Night Football. Fantasy managers can start him with confidence as an upside WR2.

Dontayvion Wicks - WR (leg)

Wicks briefly left the Eagles’ Week 2 game after landing hard on his leg.
Impact: Perhaps none. Make sure rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon is rostered, though. The Eagles face the Bears’ beatable defense in Week 3.

Dallas Goedert - TE (knee)

Goedert reportedly suffered a sprained MCL in the team’s Week 2 win over the Titans. he is expected to miss multiple weeks.
Impact: With both Goedert and Stowers now out, the team signed veteran tight end Zach Ertz Monday. Ertz is likely to serve as the primary pass-catching option at the position, although volume appears more likely to concentrate on receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks.

Eli Stowers - TE (hamstring/quad)

The Eagles placed Stowers on injured reserve.

Impact: Stowers appears unlikely to have a meaningful role in the offense during his rookie season.

◆ Washington Commanders

Chig Okonkwo - TE (hamstring)

Okonkwo was unable to finish the team’s Week 1 loss to the Eagles and was unable to play in Week 2. He was limited to begin Week 3 but ruled out Friday.
Impact: Okonkwo’s absence could lead to additional 11-personnel, which raises the weekly floor and ceiling of talented rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams. Williams remains a worthwhile hold entering Week 3.

Jayden Daniels - QB (elbow)

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow in Week 2, the same injury he suffered a season ago. He is expected to miss significant time. Daniels is reportedly set to consult numerous experts Tuesday.
Impact: Marcus Mariota will enter the starting lineup for the team’s Week 3 game against the Seahawks, against whom he will be a difficult start in fantasy. Managers in a bind at the position can add Mariota and hold him for easier starts against the Colts and Giants in the coming weeks.

Kaytron Allen - RB (hip)

Allen was limited on Wednesday.
Impact: Allen is a viable deep-league stash.

🏈 NFC North

◆ Chicago Bears

Caleb Williams - QB (hamstring)

Williams suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Vikings. Head coach Ben Johnson labeled him week-to-week on Monday. He was ruled out for Monday Night Football in Week 3 Saturday.

Impact: Tyson Bagent came on in relief of the injured Williams but reportedly suffered a concussion that placed him in the protocol on Tuesday. He upgraded to a full participant Saturday but will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist Sunday to gain clearance to play against the Eagles. Bears QB3 Case Keenum took first-team reps on Wednesday.

Tyson Bagent - QB (concussion)

Bagent is in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Impact: See above.

◆ Detroit Lions

Isiah Pacheco - RB (back)

Pacheco was placed on injured reserve to start the season. General Manager Brad Holmes said he “hopes Pacheco returns this season.”

Impact: Well, that doesn’t sound great. There appears to be something more insidious going on with Pacheco’s back than initially thought. Lions coach Dan Campbell said running backs Jacob Saylors and Sione Vaki could split touches behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Saylors appears to be the first player up. Gibbs handled an absurd 34 opportunities, of 37 total running back opportunities, in the team’s Week 1, overtime win over the Saints

◆ Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs - RB (commissioner exempt list)

Jacobs was placed on the commissioner exempt list amidst troubling domestic violence allegations. His initial court date was recently moved up from November to September 10. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Jacobs “could be looking at a 4-6 game suspension” after being activated from the exempt list.

Impact: The commissioner exempt list brings a wide range of outcomes regarding how many games we expect Jacobs to miss this season. That said, the fact that his initial court appearance was moved up near the start of the regular season could allow the league additional motivation to levy a suspension, pending the outcome of his appearance. Either way, don’t expect Jacobs on the field any time soon, leaving MarShawn Lloyd as the lead back in the interim.

Jayden Reed - WR (neck)

Reed suffered a scary-looking neck injury that required stabilization in the team’s Week 2 win over the Jets. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Tuesday that it is “way too early” to determine whether Reed will play again in 2026.
Impact: Beyond the football implications, it is good to hear Reed avoided any life-altering injuries in Week 2. Skyy Moore and Bo Melton are likely to soak up additional snaps, although volume is most likely to concentrate on Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft.

◆ Minnesota Vikings

Aaron Jones - RB (knee)

Jones injured his knee in Week 2, but managed to play through it. He was sidelined the following Wednesday but removed from the injury report Friday. He will play in Week 3.
Impact: Business as usual with both Jones and Dallas removed from the injury report Friday.

DeeJay Dallas - RB (toe)

Dallas was limited with a toe injury on Wednesday.
Impact: See above.

Jordan Mason - RB (thumb)

The Vikings placed Mason on injured reserve in Week 2.

Impact: The Vikings are on bye in Week 6, so Mason will be eligible to return in Week 7. Starting running back Aaron Jones gets a deserved projections boost with Mason sidelined. Veteran RB DeeJay Dallas operated as the RB3. Rookie RB Demond Claiborne can be stashed on benches.

🏈 NFC South

◆ Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons emerged from their Week 3 win over the Packers absent any fantasy-relevant injuries.

◆ Carolina Panthers

Jalen Coker - WR (ankle)

Coker was limited on Wednesday. He was listed questionable for Week 3.
Impact: Coker should be good to go for Week 3. He played through the injury effectively last week.

Jonathan Brooks - RB (groin)

Brooks aggravated the groin injury that forced him to miss the end of camp. The Panthers placed him on injured reserve in Week 3. He is expected to undergo core muscle surgery.
Impact: Chuba Hubbard enters the volume-driven RB1 discussion in Brooks’ absence.

◆ New Orleans Saints

Travis Etienne - RB (hamstring)

Etienne was limited on Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3.
Impact: It is unclear when Etienne suffered the injury. If it occurred in-game last week, his early-week participation is a good sign. If it occurred in practice on Wednesday, he should be considered doubtful to play. Running backs Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller would both warrant FLEX starter treatment if Etienne sits in Week 3.

Jordyn Tyson - WR (hamstring)

Tyson begins the regular season on injured reserve. He will miss the first four games of the season, at minimum.

Impact: Devaughn Vele should begin the season in the starting lineup opposite Chris Olave, with both players routinely used in the slot. Olave’s weekly range of outcomes rivals almost any receiver in the league for as long as Tyson remains out, while tight end Juwan Johnson should return weekly TE1 finishes.

◆ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jalen McMillan - WR (knee)

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said early in Week 3 that McMillan is “healthy and he’s not all the way there yet, but he’s closer to getting there.” He is practicing in full in Week 3, but may still need another week off.
Impact: He will be a boom-bust FLEX if active.

🏈 NFC West

◆ Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals emerged from their Week 2 loss to the Seahawks absent any fantasy-relevant injuries.

◆ Los Angeles Rams

Puka Nacua - WR (groin)

Nacua did not play in the team’s Week 2 win over the Giants. Head coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that he wasn’t sure if he would be able to play in Week 3. He did not practice on Wednesday. He is listed doubtful for Week 3.

Impact: Veteran Davante Adams went absolutely nuclear as the primary option through the air, amassing a ridiculous 195 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions in the absence of Nacua. Adams would remain a top-tier WR1 should Nacua miss more time. Furthermore, second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson had his best game as a professional against the Giants and could be started as an upside TE2.

Terrance Ferguson - TE (ankle)

Ferguson was limited on Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3.
Impact: He should be good to go. See above.

Jordan Whittington - WR (quad)

Whittington missed Week 2 and remains sidelined early in Week 3. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 3.
Impact: Whittington is theoretically Nacua’s direct backup, but Ferguson may have already seized that role.

◆ San Francisco 49ers

Demarcus Robinson - WR (ankle)

Robinson suffered a high-ankle sprain in the team’s Week 2 win over the Dolphins. He will miss significant time.

Impact: Reports suggest Jacob Cowing will be leaned on to fill the void left behind by the injuries to Robinson and De’Zhaun Stribling. Expect Mike Evans, assuming health, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle to soak up additional volume.

Mike Evans - WR (hip)

Evans was unable to finish the team’s Week 2 win over the Dolphins with a hip injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans will “have to be managed this week” as the team prepares to face the Cardinals. He did not practice on Wednesday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the veteran receiver “has a pretty good chance” to play in Week 3.
Impact: It sounds as if Evans’ injury is not overly serious, although fantasy managers will want to track his status closely this week. He is a WR1, if active as expected.

De’Zhaun Stribling - WR (ankle)

Stribling suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 1 win over the Rams. The 49ers placed him on injured reserve in Week 2 after he underwent surgery to repair a deltoid ligament tear. He is expected to return in 10 weeks.

Impact: The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes Demarcus Robinson will be the primary beneficiary.

Ricky Pearsall - WR (knee)

Pearsall was placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Impact: Pearsall will miss the entirety of the 2026 season.

◆ Seattle Seahawks

Zach Charbonnet - RB (knee)

Charbonnet will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list, although the team remains optimistic he will be able to beat his initial recovery timeline.

Impact: Rookie Jadarian Price is poised to begin the season as the primary back in Seattle, with George Holani on hand to soak up change-of-pace reps. The team appears content to keep the situation fluid and without a true workhorse, similar to the way they handled Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet last season. Even so, Price is positioned well to return value weekly for fantasy drafters who invested a sixth-round pick in his services this offseason.

Jadarian Price - RB (chest)

Price suffered a chest injury in the team’s Week 2 win over the Cardinals that head coach Mike MacDonald deemed “nothing serious.” He was limited on Wednesday but removed from the injury report Friday.
Impact: Price appears unlikely to miss any time, although fantasy managers will want to monitor his practice status throughout the week. Price fumbled, and split carries with running back Emanuel Wilson, last week. Wilson could handle a FLEX-worthy workload this week.

George Holani - RB (knee)

The Seahawks’ passing down running back was limited on Wednesday.
Impact: Holani is on track to play.

Cooper Kupp - WR (back)

Kupp is playing through a back injury and was limited on Wednesday. He was removed from the injury report Friday.

Impact: Minimal.

Sam Darnold - QB (glute)

Darnold reportedly suffered an “unusual muscle strain” in the team’s Week 1 win over the Patriots. He sat out in Week 2 and resumed practicing in a limited capacity early in Week 3. He was removed from the injury report Friday and will start in Week 3.

Impact: Darnold returns after missing only one game, in a spot against the Commanders in which he will be an upside QB2.
