So if the Browns start drafting injured players left and right, you know why. Baalke was fired by the Jaguars last January and didn’t have a job in the league last year. He’ll act as a sounding board for GM Andrew Berry.

That means that starting left guard Aaron Banks (knee) will be back on the field after missing Week 1 against the Vikings. In a game that figures to be played in constant rain, having a fully healthy offensive line will be a nice boost for Marshawn Lloyd and the Packers’ offense. Javon Hargrave (concussion) remains out for Week 2.

Schefter said on Sunday NFL Countdown that Nacua is more likely to be sidelined on Monday against the Giants than he is to suit up and play through his groin injury. It would be a massive blow to the Rams offense, which would likely be more run-heavy if Nacua is out against the Giants. That could mean a big workload for Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Terrance Ferguson, who ran a route on just 41 percent of the Rams’ drop backs in Week 1, could see a slightly bigger role if Nacua is sidelined.

We knew Fitzpatrick had already been ruled out with a groin injury. D’Angelo Pounds had practiced all week, and Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that he was healthy enough to play, but apparently there is no room for him in the secondary at the moment. The good news for the Jets is that Will McDonald (ankle) is active and will play.

Porter was declared out on Friday due to a back issue that also kept him out of Week 1. With his contract situation also up in the air, it is unclear if Porter will return in Week 3. Also inactive for the Steelers are WR Michael Pittman Jr., QB Drew Allar, QB Will Howard, OG Gennings Dunker, DL Kevin Jobity Jr., and DE Gabriel Rubio. Pittman was ruled out with a foot injury while Howard will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback.

He had already been ruled out and is in jeopardy of missing Week 3 as well. The Texans ruled out Collins, Jadeveon Clowney (knee), Jake Hummel (groin) and Ed Ingram (groin) on Friday. Joining them as healthy scratches are TE Brevin Jordan, CB Collin Wright, and T Nate Thomas.

Tucker was out last week with the hamstring issue. His return to the Tampa lineup could take a few touches away from Bucky Irving and/or Kenneth Gainwell. Last week against the Bengals, Irving out-carried Gainwell 8-5 and led the backfield with a 59 percent route share. Bucs declared CB Jacob Parrish, CB Ayden Garnes, DL Elijah Simmons, DL DeMonta Capehart, OL Billy Schrauth, and OL Luke Haggard inactive for Week 2.

Greenard was ruled out on Friday after three limited practices; there’s a chance he returns next week. Andrew Mukuba (knee) is playing off a questionable tag. Everyone else here is a healthy scratch.

Miller will be a healthy scratch with Alvin Kamara officially back for Week 2. Miller rushed nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Lions, but he looks like the odd man out with the Saints’ top two backs healthy; rookie CJ Donaldson, who contributes on special teams, will serve as the team’s RB3. Miller’s fantasy value is non-existent as long as Kamara and Travis Etienne are both dressing on Sundays.

Davis did not practice all week due to a neck injury and was officially ruled out on Saturday. The Patriots will look for reinforcements in the secondary for Week 2 against the Steelers. Also inactive for the Patriots are OT Dametrious Crownover, OT Walter Rouse, TE Tanner Arkin, DT Leonard Taylor, and QB Behren Morton.

Jones missed most of the 2025 season with a back injury and subsequent surgery. He was also held out of Week 1. Jones was back at practice this week, but the team is going to give him a few more practices before letting him take the field again.
