INJURY REPORT • FINAL DESIGNATIONS

Updated Sunday morning, Sept. 20 with the latest official Week 2 game-status designations. OUT, DOUBTFUL and QUESTIONABLE labels are final team designations; official inactive lists are still announced shortly before kickoff.

1:00 PM ET

THE EARLY WINDOW

FOX • NASHVILLE

EAGLES (1–0) @ TITANS (0–1)

1:00 ET

Philadelphia survived Washington 24–22 with Jalen Hurts throwing three touchdowns. Tennessee needs a cleaner second game from Cam Ward after the Jets held the Titans to 10 points. The pressure point is simple: can Ward stay composed against a defense built to make young quarterbacks speed up?

PLAYERS TO WATCHJalen Hurts • Dallas Goedert • Cam Ward • Anthony Hill Jr.
INJURY WATCHPHI: OLB Jonathan Greenard (pectoral) OUT; S Andrew Mukuba (knee) QUESTIONABLE. TEN: LB James Williams (elbow) and CB Cordale Flott (quad) QUESTIONABLE.
CBS • FOXBOROUGH

STEELERS (1–0) @ PATRIOTS (0–1)

1:00 ET

Old-school names, new stakes. Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy take Pittsburgh into Foxborough against a Patriots team trying to settle Drake Maye after three fourth-quarter interceptions in the opener. Pittsburgh's pass rush versus Maye's mobility is the chess match.

PLAYERS TO WATCHAaron Rodgers • T.J. Watt • Drake Maye • Rhamondre Stevenson
INJURY WATCHPIT: WR Michael Pittman (foot) and CB Joey Porter Jr. (conditioning/back) OUT; OT Troy Fautanu (ankle) QUESTIONABLE. NE: OT Dametrious Crownover (knee) and CB Carlton Davis (neck) OUT; OL Ben Brown (knee) and LB Dre'Mont Jones (foot) QUESTIONABLE.
FOX • ATLANTA

PANTHERS (0–1) @ FALCONS (0–1)

1:00 ET

Both teams need a reset. Carolina gave up 59 in Week 1; Atlanta lost a lower-scoring game to Pittsburgh. That makes this less about style points and more about avoiding an 0–2 hole before the season really gets moving.

PLAYERS TO WATCHDarren Waller • Jalen Coker • A.J. Terrell • Chris Lindstrom
INJURY WATCHCAR: DT Bobby Brown III (back) OUT; OLB Patrick Jones II (back) QUESTIONABLE. ATL: QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and CB Billy Bowman Jr. (Achilles) OUT; QB Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) DOUBTFUL; G Chris Lindstrom (concussion), LB Divine Deablo (illness) and CB A.J. Terrell (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE.
FOX • NEW YORK

PACKERS (0–1) @ JETS (1–0)

1:00 ET

The Jets controlled Tennessee on the ground and now get a Green Bay team coming off a 39–22 loss in Minnesota. New York's young defensive speed can turn this ugly if the Packers' protection problems carry over.

PLAYERS TO WATCHDavid Bailey • Kenyon Sadiq • Green Bay's interior front
INJURY WATCHGB: DT Warren Brinson (calf) and DT Javon Hargrave (knee/concussion) OUT; G Aaron Banks (knee), OL Zach Bako-Bewele (knee) and CB Benjamin St-Juste (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE. NYJ: RB Kene Nwangwu (back), WR Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), EDGE Joseph Ossai (foot) and S Minkah Fitzpatrick (groin) OUT; EDGE Will McDonald IV (ankle) QUESTIONABLE.
CBS • BALTIMORE

SAINTS (0–1) @ RAVENS (1–0)

1:00 ET

New Orleans pushed Detroit into overtime and nearly stole one. Baltimore looked like a machine in Indianapolis. The Saints have to survive Lamar Jackson's movement and Derrick Henry's power without letting the game turn into a track meet.

PLAYERS TO WATCHLamar Jackson • Derrick Henry • Baltimore's offensive line
INJURY WATCHNO: LS Zach Wood (calf) OUT; LB Isaiah Stalbird (shoulder) DOUBTFUL; WR Chris Olave (hamstring), DL Christen Miller (toe) and EDGE Chase Young (calf) QUESTIONABLE. BAL: WR Zay Flowers (hamstring), DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), LB Teddye Buchanan (knee) and CB T.J. Tampa (knee) OUT; OT Ronnie Stanley (toe), G John Simpson (groin) and OLB Trey Hendrickson (finger) QUESTIONABLE.
CBS • HOUSTON

BENGALS (1–0) @ TEXANS (0–1)

1:00 ET

Cincinnati's line allowed the lowest pressure rate in the league in Week 1. Now it gets Will Anderson Jr. and the Houston front. On the other side, David Montgomery scored three times against Buffalo, so the Bengals cannot treat the Texans like an 0–1 team with no answers.

PLAYERS TO WATCHJoe Burrow • Amarius Mims • Will Anderson Jr. • David Montgomery
INJURY WATCHCIN: QB Joe Burrow (back) and DT B.J. Hill (Achilles) QUESTIONABLE; Burrow finished the week as a full participant. HOU: WR Nico Collins (hamstring), G Ed Ingram (groin), OLB Jadeveon Clowney (knee) and LB Jake Hummel (groin) OUT.
CBS • TAMPA

BROWNS (0–1) @ BUCCANEERS (0–1)

1:00 ET

Somebody is leaving 0–2. Cleveland's new era opened with a 34–10 loss in Jacksonville. Tampa lost a shootout in Cincinnati and now has to clean up its turnovers while keeping Deshaun Watson from extending plays outside structure.

PLAYERS TO WATCHDeshaun Watson • Jerry Jeudy • Tampa's front seven
INJURY WATCHCLE: G Teven Jenkins (back) OUT; CB Tyson Campbell (ankle) and CB Noah Igbinoghene (hand) QUESTIONABLE. TB: WR Jalen McMillan (knee), CB Jacob Parrish (back) and S Miles Killebrew (concussion) QUESTIONABLE.
4:05 / 4:25 PM ET

THE LATE WINDOW

CBS • DENVER

JAGUARS (1–0) @ BRONCOS (0–1)

4:05 ET

Trevor Lawrence opened with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Denver got punched 31–10 in Kansas City. Last season Jacksonville was the only team to win in Denver during the regular season, so this already has revenge energy for the Broncos.

PLAYERS TO WATCHTrevor Lawrence • Brian Thomas Jr. • Bo Nix • Denver's pass rush
INJURY WATCHJAX: No game-status designations. DEN: WR Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) OUT; RB RJ Harvey (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE.
CBS • LOS ANGELES

RAIDERS (1–0) @ CHARGERS (0–1)

4:05 ET

Vegas opened with a road win. The Chargers opened Mike McDaniel's offense with one good drive and not enough after that. AFC West games get personal fast, and this one is already about whether Los Angeles can protect Justin Herbert long enough to create explosives.

PLAYERS TO WATCHAshton Jeanty • Maxx Crosby • Justin Herbert • Tuli Tuipulotu
INJURY WATCHLV: CB Darien Porter (foot) OUT; TE Brock Bowers (knee) DOUBTFUL; QB Aidan O'Connell (personal) QUESTIONABLE. LAC: OL Trey Pipkins (knee) and DB Elijah Molden (hamstring) OUT; WR Ladd McConkey (rib) and DB Deane Leonard (abdomen) QUESTIONABLE.
FOX • ARIZONA

SEAHAWKS (1–0) @ CARDINALS (1–0)

4:25 ET

Seattle won its opener but lost Sam Darnold for Week 2, so Drew Lock gets the start. Arizona already went into Los Angeles and beat the Chargers. A division game with a backup quarterback changes the math completely.

PLAYERS TO WATCHDrew Lock • Cooper Kupp • Trey McBride • Budda Baker
INJURY WATCHSEA: QB Sam Darnold (glute) and S Ty Okada (hamstring) OUT; G Anthony Bradford (knee/hip) and S Nick Emmanwori (ankle/hip) QUESTIONABLE. ARI: CB Garrett Williams (Achilles) OUT; G Isaiah Adams, DT Andrew Billings, DT Roy Lopez, CB Max Melton, G Isaac Seumalo and S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson QUESTIONABLE.
FOX • DALLAS

COMMANDERS (0–1) @ COWBOYS (0–1)

4:25 ET

Two NFC East teams already staring at real pressure. Washington lost by two in Philadelphia. Dallas lost at night to the Giants. Dak Prescott called the home opener a game Dallas has to win. The loser starts 0–2 with both losses inside the conference conversation.

PLAYERS TO WATCHJayden Daniels • Dak Prescott • Caleb Downs
INJURY WATCHWAS: TE Chigoziem Okonkwo (hamstring) and LB Frankie Luvu (groin) OUT; DT Javon Kinlaw (back) QUESTIONABLE. DAL: LB DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) and S Malik Hooker (forearm) OUT.
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

PRIME TIME

NBC • KANSAS CITY

COLTS (0–1) @ CHIEFS (1–0)

8:20 ET

Kansas City is back on the big stage six days after beating Denver 31–10. Kenneth Walker III gave the offense a different gear on Monday night, and now the Colts have to solve him while also dealing with Patrick Mahomes. Indianapolis needs a cleaner response after Baltimore ran through it in Week 1.

PLAYERS TO WATCHPatrick Mahomes • Kenneth Walker III • Anthony Richardson • Jonathan Taylor
INJURY WATCHIND: WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) OUT; RB DJ Giddens (knee) QUESTIONABLE. KC: OT Josh Simmons (back) and DB Chamarri Conner (knee) OUT; DT Chris Jones (calf) and CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE. Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice have no game designation.
