Steelers HC Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) still isn't at 100%. Per PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, Tomlin said Warren is "healthy enough" but that it'd be a "slippery slope" to say that Warren is fully healthy.
Dolphins RBs De'Von Achane (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (chest) did not practice on Tuesday. We noticed both guys temporarily exit the Week 1 win over Jacksonville, but they both returned and finished out the game.
The Panthers have placed DT Derrick Brown on season-ending IR for the meniscus injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Saints. That leaves a gaping hole up front on a defense that was already bad.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey missed Monday Night's game with what was known as an ankle injury at the time. HC Kyle Shannahan revealed that McCaffrey is suffering from Achilles tendinitis, which can linger as pain and burning around the Achilles muscle.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin was asked about the starting QB for week 2 and said the team was preparing for QB Justin Fields to be their QB. This comes after a 156-yard passing and 57-yard rushing performance for Fields in Week 1 against the Falcons. QB Russell Wilson has not been ruled out yet and will be evaluated through the week.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson is facing new allegations of sexual battery and assault from an incident that took place in 2010. The accusations are disturbing, to say the least. You can read them in this article from Pro Football Talk
ESPN's Adam Schefter said prior to Monday Night Football that there's a "strong possibility" 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) misses Week 2's game against the Vikings. According to Schefter, McCaffrey pulled himself out of Friday's practice with soreness in his calf area and was still experiencing tightness on Monday.
Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. will miss at least two games and could be out as much as a month, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Winfield suffered an ankle injury late in Sunday's win over the Commanders and left the stadium in a walking boot. Stroud adds that the Bucs are "cautiously optimistic" it'll be just two weeks.
The Browns signed WR Kadarius Toney to their practice squad. He also had interest from the Seahawks and other teams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Toney, of course, has already flamed out with both the Giants and Chiefs. There's little reason to expect things to go better in Cleveland. You can continue to ignore Toney in redraft leagues, and he's not a must-hold in shallower dynasty leagues.
Bills QB Josh Allen has been cleared to play in Thursday night's game vs. the Dolphins, HC Sean McDermott said. Allen injured his left hand in the Week 1 win over the Cardinals but was able to play through it. He was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Unless we hear otherwise, there's no reason to expect this to be an issue in Week 2 or beyond. Allen opened his season with a four-TD outing and leads all QBs in Week 1 fantasy points (with the Monday nighter still to go).
Bears WR Rome Odunze sustained an MCL sprain in Sunday's win over the Titans. He's now week-to-week, according to multiple reports.
Niners RB Christian McCaffrey is inactive for tonight's game against the Jets. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that McCaffrey tested his injured calf today and that "it didn't feel right and the 49ers wanted to err on the side of caution." That's been the message from McCaffrey and the team ever since the injury first showed up back in early August. That he's now missing a game more than a month later suggests the issue has always been more significant than they wanted us to believe.
The Commanders released K Cade York and signed K Austin Seibert. York went 0-for-2 on FGs in the opener, missing from 47 and 56 yards. He also had a kickoff go out of bounds. Seibert was Cleveland's kicker back in 2019 but has bounced to multiple teams in the four seasons since. He sports a subpar 80% career FG conversion rate. You should be able to do better in fantasy lineups.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Monday that the team is placing WR Puka Nacua on IR after he aggravated his right knee injury in Sunday night's loss to the Lions, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Nacua is dealing with a PCL sprain that he reportedly hurt in a "more significant" way against Detroit.
Giants WR Darius Slayton is in concussion protocol, HC Brian Daboll said Monday. Slayton finished second among Giants WRs in snaps and routes in the opener, catching three of four targets for 26 yards. His absence would leave Jalin Hyatt as the primary outside WR opposite Malik Nabers. But this is a situation to avoid after QB Daniel Jones' poor Week 1.
Bears WR Rome Odunze came out of Sunday's win over the Titans with a knee injury, HC Matt Eberflus said Monday. Odunze is scheduled for an MRI to get a better look at the damage. Eberflus said there was "a level of concern" regarding the injury, but didn’t give any other details, per insider Scott Bair. We'll update Odunze's status as soon as we know more.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is "feeling better" and "getting close" to a return. Week 2 or 3 has looked like Brown's most likely return date since he suffered the shoulder injury. We're currently projecting him to miss this Sunday's game vs. the Bengals and return in Week 3, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status. Brown's absence would make WR Xavier Worthy easier to trust in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The rookie totaled 68 yards and two scores in the opener -- but saw only three targets and one carry.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson suffered a left knee injury in the Cowboys Week 1 game against the Browns. It initially looked like it could be season-ending, but further testing revealed that Ferguson only sprained his MCL. This is approximately a 1-4 week recovery for Ferguson.
The Panthers lost DT Derrick Brown to a meniscus injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Brown will need surgery, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and that operation will determine how long Brown will be out. Pelissero calls it "potentially season-ending."
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton managed only 4 catches for 38 yards in a Week 1 matchup at Seattle. Sutton led the team with 12 targets but struggled to click with rookie QB Bo Nix.
