Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne had four runs of 10-plus yards in the season opener, tying his career high for a single game.
Footballguys view: We'll see what Etienne can do against the Bengals this week. This has the potential to be a high-scoring game, so that's got us excited for Etienne in Week 2. Consider him an RB2 with upside. |

New York Jets RB Breece Hall faces the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, and Hall is averaging 6.42 yards per carry in four career games against the Bills.
Footballguys view: Hall looked great in Week 1 against the Steelers with 107 yards rushing. This week against the Bills, we like Hall as an RB2 with RB1 upside. |
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt is 'expected to be the starting running back' moving forward, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Footballguys view: With Austin Ekeler out for the rest of the season with a torn Achilles' it's not a surprise to hear this news. Croskey-Merritt is a three-down back who doesn't waste a lot of motion as a runner. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez will work as the reserve runners behind Croskey-Merritt. |
Las Vegas Raiders C Jackson Powers-Johnson (concussion) did not participate in practice Saturday, Sept. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 2. TE Brock Bowers (knee) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. LB Elandon Roberts (elbow) fully participated in practice and is not on the injury report.

Free-agent WR Gage Larvadain (Browns) likely will be a candidate for the Cleveland Browns practice squad if he clears waivers.
Link to storyHouston Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is not participating in practice Saturday, Sept. 13.
Footballguys view: There are two Monday night games this week, and the Texans will face the Buccaneers without Kirk in the lineup. This was initially thought to be a two-week injury, so perhaps Kirk could do more in practice next week. Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins should get more work without Kirk on the field. |

Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is participating in practice Saturday, Sept. 13.
Footballguys view: It's Chargers versus Raiders on the Monday night finale in Week 2. Bowers said he would be okay, and practicing on Saturday makes us feel better about his availability. Nothing is official, so make sure to have other options (perhaps evan Raiders backup TE Michael Mayer) ready in case Bowers doesn't play. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) has been ruled out of the Week 2 game, according to head coach Todd Bowles.
Footballguys view: The reports about Godwin getting out there in Week 2 did seem a bit outlandish. When things were initially reported on this injury, many felt Godwin would be out until Week 5 or Week 6. It's good to see that he may be closer to a return, but it's not happening on Monday night against the Texans. |

Link to storyThe New England Patriots traded WR Ja'Lynn Polk and a seventh-round selection in the 2028 NFL Draft to the New Orleans Saints Saturday, Sept. 13, in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: In late August, Polk underwent shoulder surgery and is out for the year. The 2024 second-round pick was in danger of making the Patriots final roster if he was healthy. Clearly, the Patriots have made plans without him and have an interesting group of receivers for second-year QB Drake Maye. |
The New Orleans Saints acquired WR Ja'Lynn Polk and a seventh-round selection in the 2028 NFL Draft from the New England Patriots Saturday, Sept. 13, in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: In late August, Polk underwent shoulder surgery and is out for the year. The 2024 second-round pick was in danger of making the Patriots final roster if he was healthy. Now, Polk gets to rehab with his new team with a fresh start in 2026. The Saints have been looking for wide receiver help for some time, as evidenced by this trade and the move to get Devaughn Vele from the Broncos earlier this summer. |
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 2's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
Footballguys view: Worthy is out this week against the Eagles, but he could be back soon. In Week 1 when Travis Kelce took him out, it was feared to be a serious injury. Those concerns have been squashed by recent reports which suggest Worthy could return later this month. |
Several unidentified NFL clubs expressed interest in trading for Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown during the offseason but general manager Howie Roseman told teams that Brown was not available, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Footballguys view: It makes sense given the talent that Brown has. Roseman is one of the best in the league, and boy does he love to trade, but moving on from Brown at this time makes little sense. Not using him enough (like in Week 1) doesn't make sense either, so Fantasy GMs are hopeful Brown will do more than the one target, one reception for eight yards stat line he had in the opener. |

The Washington Commanders re-signed free-agent TE Lawrence Cager (Commanders) to their practice squad Saturday, Sept. 13. In a corresponding move, P Mitch Wishnowsky was released from the practice squad.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee Friday, Sept. 12. According to 106.7 The Fan's Grant Paulsen, he was limping noticeably at the end of Week 2's game versus the Green Bay Packers. Results of the exam are not yet known.
Footballguys view: Daniels completed 24-of-42 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns in the Commanders' 27-18, Week 2 loss to the Packers. On the ground, Daniels only had 17 yards rushing. We'll see if the results reveal any further concerns here. It's not the news you wanted after two contests, and we hope it's much ado about nothing. Stay tuned. |
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Week 2's game versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Footballguys view: No surprise here. Goedert didn't practice all week and is not going to play in the Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs. Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will split up the tight end duties. Without Goedert on the field, WRs AJ Brown and Devonta Smith should get more looks. |

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (non-injury) is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2's game versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: Fellow rookie RB Dylan Sampson is still going to have at least a 'what the heck' flex worthy role as a receiver out of the backfield. We'll see if the Browns ease Judkins, a powerful runner who gets stronger as the game goes on, into action in his debut. We're taking a wait-and-see approach with Judkins this week against the Ravens. |
The Miami Dolphins have not received any phone calls from other NFL teams expressing interest in trading for WR Tyreek Hill and they have no plans to move him, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: Not receiving any calls about Hill seems odd. He's clearly frustrated, and the Dolphins look like they're a game away from being a dumpster fire for the 2025 season. It's bad right now for the Dolphins, and that makes Hill an obvious trade candidate. Complicating things are Hill's recent domestic violence allegations. The NFL trade deadline is November 5th. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals (knee) has been ruled out for Week 2's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Footballguys view: Royals is dealing with knee tendinitis and it make take a few more weeks for that to clear up. Hollywood Brown is the no1 receiver for now, and without Royals (and a suspended Rashee Rice) we'll see Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster get more work. |
