KC places Cooper McDonald on IR

Coker was wearing a boot after rolling his left ankle in the Panthers’ Week 1 loss against the Bears. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that the team is confident in ramping him up in practice. The 24-year-old got in a limited practice Wednesday, doing an “extended warm up” on the side and getting a “couple of snaps” on things the Panthers are looking for him to execute. Canales added the “hope is to ramp that up a little bit more tomorrow and then cut them loose Friday. So I expect him to play on Sunday.” Coker’s ankle injury is certainly something to keep an eye on, but Canales and the Panthers are confident he will play in Week 2 against the Falcons.

Pineiro was a non-participant in practice due to an illness. It’s still early in the week, so the 31-year-old kicker will likely return in time for Week 2 against the Dolphins.

Kittle also started out last week as limited, so this seems to be regular practice management for the veteran. He appeared in Week 1 and was targeted five times. Expect Kittle to be back out there for Week 2 against the Dolphins, barring any setbacks.

McCaffrey and Williams were listed as DNP simply for rest, while Bosa had a rest/knee designation and Greenlaw had a rest/Achilles designation. This is notable as the 49ers have several key veterans who have dealt with injuries throughout their career and practice reps will be managed for these players. McCaffrey reportedly dealt with cramps in the 49ers’ Week 1 Australia win over the Rams; though he is not injured, his experiences with Achilles tendinitis will certainly lend to rest days throughout the season. We expect the 49ers to continue to rest veterans in practice throughout the season in an effort to remain healthy.

Greenard missed Week 1 against the Commanders after practicing in a limited fashion all of last week. He opens this week as a limited participant again, with room to ramp up throughout the week before the Eagles’ Week 2 matchup with the Titans. Greenard may need a full practice before he officially returns to playing in games.

DeJean was initially hurt in the Eagles’ Week 1 win over the Commanders, though he played every snap. Despite the DNP listing, the 23-year-old told reporters he still expects to play in Week 2. Barring a setback, Eagles fans can expect DeJean to start against the Titans.

Carter pops up on the injury report with a wrist issue Wednesday. A DNP listing to start the week is not the best sign, but the 25-year-old has a couple more chances to practice in at least a limited fashion. Should Carter miss time, the Eagles may turn to Byron Young for more snaps at defensive tackle.

Tart and DB Elijah Molden (hamstring) were listed as non-participants due to injuries for the Chargers’ defense Wednesday. Both are starters for the defense; Tart’s potential absence in the middle of the defensive line would especially open things up for Ashton Jeanty and the Raiders’ run game for Week 2.

Bowers opens up Week 2 with a DNP designation, still recovering from a meniscus trim he had just over a week ago. Head coach Klint Kubiak said Bowers is “day-to-day” on Monday, but that may be more week-to-week as the 23-year-old has yet to return to practice. Michael Mayer is a solid high-end TE2 in his place. Bowers still has a chance to practice the rest of this week, but his currently on the wrong side of questionable for Week 2 against the Chargers.

Clowney was listed as a non-participant as he deals with a knee injury. This could certainly be a precautionary measure for the veteran, but something to monitor for the Texans’ pass-rush rotation heading into Week 2. Dalton Schultz also did not participate, but was listed as having a rest day and should have no concerns for this week’s matchup against the Bengals.
