Herbert and the rest of the starters played two drives for the Bears in the first quarter, with Herbert handling the early-down work while D’Andre Swift handled change of pace and clear passing down duties. Herbert’s nine touches dwarfed the one carry and one target for Swift, although Swift’s lone catch went for a 42-yard gain on a screen pass to set up a field goal. The situation appears to be fluid, but the split in work is not a good sign for Swift considering he is currently being drafted inside the top 24 running backs in fantasy drafts.

Havenstein missed Week 1 with an ankle injury but is good to go now. It’s a good time for him to get healthy as the Rams’ line was decimated in their opener versus the Lions. Left guard Steve Avila and left tackle Joe Noteboom both suffered injuries that landed them on injured reserve. Havenstein should take over at right tackle with second-year player Warren McClendon Jr. shifting to the left side.

Baker’s Friday practice designation has yet to be released but thanks to the Patriots, the official game designations have been released. Baker was a limited participant on both Wednesday and Thursday. Seahawks LB Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) is also questionable while LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee) has already been ruled out.

Adams logged three full practices before being cleared from the injury report. It’s a revenge game for Adams as he squares off against the organization that took him sixth overall all the way back in 2017. Adams will start off in a rotational role for his first game as a Titan.

Sow missed Week 1 because of the hip injury and will sit for at least one more week. He started 13 games at right guard as a rookie and was projected to move to left guard in his second season. Michael Jordan (not that one) took his spot in the lineup in Week 1 and should do so again versus Seattle. Safety Kyle Dugger is listed as questionable because of an ankle injury.

Rhamondre Stevenson dominated the Patriots’ backfield in Week 1, leaving Gibson with just seven carries and no receptions. He is purely a backup right now and is nothing more than a fantasy RB5 for Week 2.

Walker will be replaced by No. 2 RB Zach Charbonnet, whose dual-threat skillset should at least return RB3 value despite the tough matchup. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald demonstrated a commitment to the run game last week, reinforcing Charbonnet’s projectable volume. RT George Fant (knee) is also listed as doubtful.

Lattimore didn’t practice at all this week, making him unlikely to take the field on Sunday. This is the latest in a long line of injuries for the veteran corner. Lattimore hasn’t played a full season since 2021, missing 17 games over the past two years. Tyrann Mathieu was cleared from the injury report while defensive linemen Bryan Bresee (illness) and Isaiah Foskey (back) were listed as questionable.

The second-round rookie could provide mild depth for the Cardinals’ lackluster cornerback corps, if active. WR Xavier Weaver (oblique) is also listed as questionable.

Perry missed Week 1 with the hand issue but got in a full week of practices ahead of the Saints’ matchup with the Cowboys. He will likely start the year behind veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson on the depth chart.

Moreau took a shot to the head late in the Saints’ Week 1 win over the Panthers and immediately entered the league’s concussion protocol. He was limited in the first practice of the week but got upgraded to full sessions on Thursday and Friday. Moreau led the Saints’ tight ends in routes and targets in Week 1, catching all four of his looks for 43 yards and a touchdown. He ranks as a fringe TE2 heading into the weekend.
