Eagles RB Saquon Barkley will have an MRI today after a stinger.

Barkley was able to come back into the game in the second half. Rapoport said this is likely just precautionary, but will be worth watching for fantasy owners.

Week 2 provided more proof of the concept that the Broncos had in mind. Jaylen Waddle had five catches of at least 14 yards, including a 49-yard leaping grab over a defender to set up Denver’s first points of the day in the second quarter. Waddle wound up with eight catches for 138 yards as the Broncos came back from 10 points down to beat the Jaguars 20-13 at home on Sunday.

“I think that’s only the tip of the iceberg for him,” Courtland Sutton said, via the team’s website. “We have more plays in our back pocket that we didn’t even get to get to. And for him to be able go out there and do what he did and us be able to have the success, and him being able to go and put together a very efficient day today, it was very promising. And I look forward to seeing where that goes the rest of the season.”

Waddle had one catch for two yards on three targets in Week 1, leaving many fantasy owners at a loss - and maybe even with a loss. But his Week 2 performance was more along the lines of what owners had in mind for Waddle this season. After a dud in Week 1, if t was nice to see the Broncos pepper him with 10 targets, making it a point to get him back on track.

With the Commanders passing up a field goal attempt to try to score a touchdown with three seconds remaining, Jayden Daniels took the snap from under center and got caught up in the footwork of left guard Chris Paul. As Daniels fell to the ground, he tried to brace with his left elbow, only for it to visibly give way and dislocate.

The injury is likely to sideline Daniels for an extended period.

The story is already questioning whether or not the Commanders can go forward with Daniels as their franchise QB. After a mostly healthy rookie season in 2024, Daniels will now have gone no more than three games without missing a start to injury since the beginning of the 2025 season, the story pointed out. Daniels missed four games after dislocating the same elbow in Week 9 a year ago, then reaggravated the injury in Week 14 and did not return over the remainder of the season. The Commanders are sitting at 0-2 with a game against Seattle in Week 3.

Caleb Williams' injury status remains unclear. The third-year pro was able to walk through the locker room after the game unassisted and reportedly was in "good spirits" after the defeat. It certainly doesn't sound like the 24-year-old is expecting to miss significant time, although his status for next week's game against the Eagles is still to be determined.

It's said to be a possible hamstring injury for Williams. As the update says, without any confirmation, it looks like there is a chance Williams may not miss significant time. But, owners will need to make a backup plan for at least this week against the Eagles, just in case.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak told reporters Sunday that tight end Brock Bowers is "close, very close" to returning and added, "He looks great."

Bowers went through pre-game warmups before Sunday's game against the Chargers but the Raiders decided to hold him out one more game. It's looking like Bowers will be back for next week's trip to New Orleans. The Raiders are off to a 2-0 start even without Bowers. Michael Mayer caught three passes for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.

Colts WR Alec Pierce is questionable to return with a heel injury.

Pierce was not able to put weight on his left foot as he got onto the cart, the same foot he had surgery on during the offseason that caused him to miss training camp and the preseason, likely re-aggravating the injury. Josh Downs and Tyler Warren will lead the charge in the passing game and Laquon Treadwell also has seen a target thus far.

There is optimism that Seahawks RB Jadarian Price may have avoided a significant injury after leaving Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a chest injury.

Price finished with 13 carries for 52 yards and had one catch for eight yards. Emanuel Wilson saw more work this week, rushing 21 times for 92 yards while George Holani rushed just four times for 13 yards. The good news is Price's injury isn't considered serious. It's unclear at the moment what his chances are of playing next week against the Commanders. Zach Charbonnet remains on the PUP list.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

This is the second season in a row Daniels suffered this injury, as he also dislocated his left elbow early last November. He wound up missing the rest of the season. Part of that was likely due to Washington's season becoming lost by that point, as they were sitting at 3-6. Of course, things aren't off to a great start in 2026, as the Commanders are 0-2 with two division losses. Tests Monday will help determine how long Daniels will be out for. Marcus Mariota steps in at quarterback while Daniels is out.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Sunday the injury to WR Mike Evans doesn't look serious, while WR Demarcus Robinson likely has a high ankle sprain.

Evans left Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a hip injury and was listed as questionable, but given Shanahan's comments, Evans likely won't be out long, perhaps being able to play next week against the Cardinals.

As for Robinson, a high ankle sprain means he'll likely miss a few weeks. We know Patriots WR A.J. Brown is going to miss about six weeks with his ankle injury. George Kittle ended up leading the 49ers in receiving Sunday with four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. Five 49ers saw either three or four targets in the 35-13 win over the Dolphins.

Bears QB Caleb Williams was carted off with an apparent

The injury happened midway through the fourth quarter as Williams ran to the left and went down after getting tripped up. He was carted from the medical tent to the locker room. Tyson Bagent has replaced Williams. We’ll have more details as they become available.
