Washington Commanders TE John Bates (groin) is considered a long shot to play in Week 3, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Footballguys view: Bates has been a steady veteran presence in the Commanders' offense, valued for his ability to block in the run game while also providing a reliable outlet in short-yardage situations. Losing him doesn't just take away a receiving option; it also affects how Washington can protect their quarterback and set up their running attack. With Bates sidelined, the stage is set for second-year man Ben Sinnott to work alongside starter Zach Ertz. The Commanders drafted him with the expectation he could grow into a versatile piece of their offense, and now that development may need to come sooner than expected. |

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) is considered a long shot to play in Week 3, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Footballguys view: Brown suffered the injury in the third quarter of Thursday night's loss to the Packers. Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane moved up in the receiving rotation behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel with Brown out. |

Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Sept. 15.
Footballguys view: No surprise there. Ekeler suffered a season-ending (and possibly career-ending) torn Achilles tendon in Green Bay last Thursday night. Ekeler was a critical piece to the Commanders' offensive success last season, with 733 total yards and four touchdowns, and looked to be just as impactful in 2025 before his injury. With Ekeler out, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. are the remaining backs on the active roster. Croskey-Merritt is expected to be the starter. The team also added former Cardinal and Buccaneers RB Chase Edmonds to their practice squad. |

Following up on the previous item, ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks with a high ankle sprain.
Footballguys view: NFL Network is reporting the same information and timeline. Again, with McCarthy out, backup Carson Wentz is now in line to start. The Vikings face the Bengals on Sunday and then head overseas for Weeks 4 and 5, playing in Dublin and London, respectively. It's an additional challenge as they try to get their QB1 healthy and ready to return. For now, however, Wentz will be the starter until further notice. |

Cincinnati Bengals DE Shemar Stewart (ankle) is considered doubtful for the Week 3 game, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Carolina Panthers OG Robert Hunt (biceps) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a torn biceps, according to head coach Dave Canales. Canales also said C Austin Corbett (knee) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament sprain.
Footballguys view: It won't be easy to replace Hunt, coming off his first Pro Bowl season, but the Panthers wisely brought back their entire offensive line from last season. The top nine linemen from last year in snaps played returned, giving them a rare continuity and depth. Now, they're going to have to use it. Chandler Zavala replaced Hunt in the lineup, and Cade Mays came in at center, and Canales said that's how they'll proceed this week as they prepare for the Falcons. Mays also replaced Corbett at center last year when he suffered a torn biceps tendon, and started eight of the last nine games (missing one with an illness). |
Baltimore Ravens FB Patrick Ricard (calf) is considered week-to-week because his recovery from a calf injury is going slower than the team anticipated, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
Footballguys view: Ricard, who is coming off a First Team All-Pro season, hasn't practiced in nearly a month due to a calf strain. With both TE Isaiah Likely (foot) and Ricard missing the first two games, the Ravens have leaned on tight ends Charlie Kolar and Zaire Mitchell-Paden, activated off the practice squad, to take their place. Likely could return soon, but Mitchell-Paden has been an effective blocker and could remain to help cover for Ricard's absence. |
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 3 because of the hamstring injury he suffered during the Week 2 game, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Footballguys view: The Vikings operated with a tandem at running back in Week 2, with Jones drawing the start but Jordan Mason logging more offensive snaps. Assuming Jones is out on Sunday, Mason projects as the clear starter. Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes that Mason demonstrated the ability to handle heavy workloads with the 49ers last season, topping an 80 percent snap share in some games. Similarly, the Vikings showed a willingness to give Jones 80 percent of snaps when healthy, indicating the staff is comfortable using a true workhorse when necessary. We'll continue to monitor this situation in coming days. |
