Every week we bring you all the inactives from the 1 p.m. ET games in one post, constantly updated with the latest information.
The Packers will have quarterback Jordan Love back in the lineup for Sunday’s matchup with their divisional rivals from Minnesota. Love has missed the last two games with the knee injury he suffered in the season opener, but reports this weekend indicated he would be starting against the Vikings and it became official when the team released an inactive list without him on it.
That list did include cornerback Jaire Alexander, however. Alexander has quad and groin injuries that kept him from practicing on Friday and they will also keep him from being part of the team’s attempt to stop Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson.

Another hurricane has struck, causing widespread damage in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyond. A pair of NFL owners are leading the way when it comes to raising money for hurricane relief.
The Glazer family, owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, donated $1 million this morning. This afternoon, Carolina Panthers owners David and Nicole Tepper contributed $3 million.
Hopefully, other sports team owners in the affected region will follow suit. Those owners rely on the public to help support their businesses. At times like this, their businesses should help support the public.
If you want, you can make a donation to the American Red Cross by texting HELENE to 90999.
The storm has killed at least 52 people in five states.
Defensive end Trey Hendrickson missed practice with an illness the last two days, but it looks like the Bengals will have him as they try to avoid a fourth straight loss to open the season.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday, via multiple reporters, that Hendrickson is set to play against the Panthers on Sunday after returning to practice. Hendrickson has three sacks over the last two games.
The news isn’t as good for a couple of other defensive linemen in Cincinnati. Taylor said that defensive tackle B.J. Hill is considered doubtful to play due to the hamstring injury that kept him out of last week’s loss to the Commanders.
Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins also missed that game with a hamstring injury and Taylor said Rankins has been ruled out.
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson was back on the practice field for the Panthers on Friday.
Johnson missed practice on Thursday due to a groin injury, but returned for a limited workout to close out the week. He has been listed as questionable to face the Bengals on Sunday.
Right guard Robert Hunt was added to the report on Friday. He was limited with a hip injury and joins Johnson and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (knee) in the questionable category.
If Hunt can’t go, the Panthers will need to replace two starters on the offensive line. Left guard Damien Lewis (elbow) is out after missing practice all week.
The Panthers also ruled out defensive tackle Sky Tuttle (foot) and defensive back Lonnie Johnson (hip). Quarterback Andy Dalton (ankle) was a full participant again on Friday and is set to make his second straight start.
The Panthers added receiver Diontae Johnson to their injury report on Thursday.
Johnson did not participate in the day’s session with a groin issue. But the team noted that Johnson is expected to practice on Friday, which is a good sign for his potential availability in Week 4.
Johnson caught eight passes for 122 yards with a touchdown in last week’s victory over the Raiders. He’s even more critical to Carolina’s offense now with fellow receiver Adam Thielen going to injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Quarterback Andy Dalton (ankle) remained on the injury report as a full participant.
Defensive end A’Shawn Robinson (knee) was upgraded from a non-participant to limited.
Cornerback Lonnie Johnson (hip), guard Damien Lewis (elbow), and defensive tackle Shy Tuttle (foot) remained non-participants.
Safety Nick Scott (quad) remained limited.
Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice after a rest day. Running back Chuba Hubbard was a full participant after he was limited on Wednesday for rest. And offensive tackle Taylor Moton did not practice as a rest day.
