[SF - San Francisco's injury report for Week 3](#35) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [SF - TE George Kittle ruled out]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers TE [George Kittle](=) (knee) has been ruled out of the team's Week 3 game Sunday, Sept. 27, against the New York Giants. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jordan Reed will get the targets in place of Kittle and he's a solid play if you don't have an obvious TE1 right now. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [ATL - WR Julio Jones a game-time call](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Atlanta Falcons WR [Julio Jones](=) (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Russell Gage and Hayden Hurst could get more targets if Jones is out, and even if he is in, Jones could be a mere decoy, so he comes with more risk. Matt Ryan's outlook dims a bit if Jones is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [GB - WR Davante Adams a Friday spectator]( Source: Around The NFL Green Bay Packers WR [Davante Adams](=) (hamstring) is not participating in practice Friday, Sept. 25, as he deals with a hamstring strain. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Adams is on the doubtful side of questionable at best and unlikely to play. The Packers will likely need to call up a receiver from the practice squad. Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are boom/bust WR3/Flex plays against the tough Saints corners. Aaron Jones should also play a much larger role in the passing game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [SF - RB Raheem Mostert out Week 3](=) Source: ESPN.com - Nick Wagoner San Francisco 49ers RB [Raheem Mostert](=) (knee) won't play Sunday, Sept. 27, in Week 3, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday in a radio interview. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mostert probably has a multi-week injury but the 49ers haven't placed him on injured reserve, so he should be back soon. Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson will split the work with and Tevin Coleman - who is on injured reserve and will be out for longer - out this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [LVR - RB Josh Jacobs back at practice]() Source: The Athletic - Tashan Reed Las Vegas Raiders RB [Josh Jacobs](=) (hip) returned to practice Friday, Sept. 25, after sitting out the previous two days. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It appears he was just getting rested after another heavy workload on Monday night. We hope that Jon Gruden lets up on Jacobs a little after he has had 59 touches in the first two games. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [NYJ - WR Jamison Crowder out for Week 3]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter New York Jets WR [Jamison Crowder](=) (hamstring) is out for Week 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chris Hogan, Josh Malone, and Braxton Berrios will be the top three receivers for the Jets this week against the Colts this week. Poor Sam Darnold. Crowder and fellow starter Breshad Perriman are likely out for Week 4 too because the Jets have a short week of rest before a Thursday game against the Broncos. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [ARI - WR Christian Kirk a no-go for Week 3]() Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals WR [Christian Kirk](=) (groin) will not play in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Andy Isabella becomes a high ceiling sleeper this week, in line to get all of the deep targets against a banged up Lions secondary. He and Kirk combined for 124 yards on four receptions last week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [DEN - Jerry Jeudy to be a game-time decision]( Source: NFL Network - James Palmer Denver Broncos WR [Jerry Jeudy](=) (ribs) has been getting healthier each day, but he is still expected to be a game-time decision for Week 3 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] KJ Hamler becomes a better play on this news but Jeff Driskel becomes a riskier QB2 if Tim Patrick is his best outside receiver. Noah Fant should also be a prominent target whether Jeudy can play or not. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [SF - WR Deebo Samuel could be back in Week 4]( Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (foot) has reportedly looked good enough in his rehab that head coach Kyle Shanahan expects him to practice next week, although it 'remains to be seen' if he'll be able to play in Week 4 against the left Philadelphia Eagles, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.'I'm optimistic he'll be back next week. He had a real good week, last week hitting the rehab hard with all those guys. Just being able to watch him work out on the side, he looks real good running routes and he's been able to do it without pain,' Shanahan said. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Check your waiver wire for Samuel, who will become the team's #1 receiver as soon as he returns. This is a good sign that his setback was minor as setbacks go. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [LAR - Cam Akers to sit Week 3]() Source: The Athletic - Jourdan Rodrigue Los Angeles Rams RB [Cam Akers](=) (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Darrell Henderson should lead the Rams backfield in touches with Malcolm Brown also mixed in, although the Bills defense is a tough draw in Week 3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [NE - RB James White ruled out]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots RB [James White](=) (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 25, and has been ruled out for Week 3. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] White is dealing with the death of his father and serious injuries suffered by his mother in a car accident last week. We'll see if he returns next week for a titanic tilt with the Chiefs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [WAS - Washington's Week 3 injury report]( Source: WashingtonFootball.com Washington Football Team OT Saahdiq Charles (thigh) and LB Cole Holcomb (knee) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Cleveland Browns. WR [Steven Sims](=) (toe) and OT Morgan Moses (hip) were upgraded to a full practice Friday, Sept. 25, but are listed as questionable. DE Ryan Kerrigan (toe), LB Thomas Davis (illness) and DE Ryan Anderson (shin) practiced in full for a second straight day Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Sims is still likely to play but hasn't produced enough to merit a start this week against Cleveland. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [BUF - Buffalo's Week 3 injury report](=) Source: Buffalo Bills PR Buffalo Bills TE [Dawson Knox](=) (concussion), RB [Zack Moss](=) (toe) and LB Del'Shawn Phillips (quad) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. LB Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) was limited all week but is listed as questionable. CB Taron Johnson (groin) and LB Matt Milano were upgraded to a full practice Friday, Sept. 25, and are listed as questionable. QB Jake Fromm (non-injury) was limited in practice all week but no longer appears on the injury report. WR [Cole Beasley](=) (hip, thumb), WR [John Brown](=) (foot), DT Ed Oliver (knee) and CB Tre'Davious White (shoulder) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. DE Jerry Hughes (rest) and DE Mario Addison (rest) were not given practice designations Friday but are expected to play. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Edmunds and Milano should return in an upgrade for the Bills linebacker group. They'll make life harder for Tyler Higbee on Sunday. Brown is good to go after his foot limited him earlier in the week and he's a good play if we assume Jalen Ramsey will cover Stefon Diggs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [DET - Detroit's Week 3 injury report]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions TE Hunter Bryant (hamstring) did not practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 25, and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals. CB Desmond Trufant (hamstring) was limited in practice for a second straight day Friday and is listed as doubtful. S C.J. Moore (calf) did not practice Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is listed as questionable. WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) and OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot) were limited in practice all week and are also listed as questionable. DT Nick Williams (shoulder) was upgraded to a full practice Friday and has been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jeff Okudah will likely draw DeAndre Hopkins with Trufant out in a real welcome to the NFL experience. Golladay looks like he's on track to play but he admitted that he's not 100% yet. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [IND - TE Jack Doyle practicing again](=) Source: CBS 4 Indianapolis - Mike Chappell Indianapolis Colts TE [Jack Doyle](=) (knee) is participating in practice Friday, Sept. 25, for the second straight day. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Doyle should be back this week but the emergence of Mo Alie-Cox last week makes the fantasy outlook for both tough to discern entering a matchup against the Jets, who gave up two scores to Jordan Reed last week. Both are rosterable in deep leagues, but neither is a safe play this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [NE - David Andrews had thumb surgery]() Source: ESPN.com - Mike Reiss New England Patriots C David Andrews had surgery on the thumb of his right snapping hand earlier in the week, a source confirmed Friday, Sept. 25. He is expected to miss the Week 3 game Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Patriots may have to turn to Hjolte Froholdt, their 2019 fourth-round pick, who hasn't yet played an NFL snap on the offensive line. Andrews may try to snap with his left hand and the Patriots could also shuffle their offensive line. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [SEA - Seattle's Week 3 injury report](=) Source: ESPN.com - Brady Henderson Seattle Seahawks DE Rasheem Green (neck) did not participate in practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys. CB Quinton Dunbar (knee) and CB Neiko Thorpe (hip) did not practice Friday, Sept. 25, and are listed as questionable. OT Cedric Ogbuehi (pectoral) was limited all week and is also listed as questionable. DE Benson Mayowa (groin) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable as well. DT Jarran Reed (back), LB Cody Barton (quad), TE [Will Dissly](=) (Achilles) and OT Duane Brown (knee, foot) were also limited in practice Friday but have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Seahawks would miss Dunbar against the Cowboys excellent wide receiver trio. Tre Flowers is the replacement and he will probably be tested often if he is the starter. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [CAR - Carolina's Week 3 injury report]() Source: Panthers.com Carolina Panthers OG Dennis Daley (ankle) and DT Kawann Short (foot) did not practice all week and are listed as doubtful for Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. OT Russell Okung (groin) returned to a full practice Friday, Sept. 25, and is listed as questionable. DE Brian Burns (thigh), DE Yetur Gross-Matos (concussion) and OG John Miller (ankle, groin) also practiced fully on Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Okung coming back is great news for Teddy Bridgewater going against the Chargers elite set of defensive ends this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [CHI - Week 3 injury report for Chicago]( Source: ChicagoBears.com Chicago Bears LB Khalil Mack (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. DE Mario Edwards Jr. (glute) practiced in full for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 25, and is also listed as questionable. WR [Ted Ginn](=) Jr. (non-injury), TE [Jimmy Graham](=) (non-injury), LB Danny Trevathan (non-injury), TE [Cole Kmet](=) (shoulder), WR [Anthony Miller](=) (calf), WR [Darnell Mooney](=) (quad), LB Robert Quinn (ankle) and WR [Allen Robinson](=) (knee) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mack not being 100% helps Matt Ryan's outlook in a week where he might have a limited or out Julio Jones. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [DAL - Dallas' injury report for Week 3]() Source: Seahawks Wire - Liz Mathews Dallas Cowboys CB Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Seattle Seahawks. OT Tyron Smith (neck) also did not practice all week but is listed as questionable. DE DeMarcus Lawrence (knee) was upgraded to a limited practice Friday, Sept. 25, but is also listed as questionable. CB Trevon Diggs (shoulder) practiced in full for a second straight day Friday and has been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Cowboys will hope that Smith can return but the Seahawks pass rush isn't that imposing on the edge and Dak Prescott showed he can still put big numbers with his #4 and #5 offensive tackles last week. Everson Griffen and Aldon Smith are both better IDP plays than a banged up Lawrence. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [MIN - Minnesota's Week 3 injury report]() Source: TitanInsider.com - Terry McCormick Minnesota Vikings CB Cameron Dantzler (rib) and CB Mike Hughes (neck) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. CB Kris Boyd (hamstring) was limited in practice for a second straight day Friday, Sept. 25, and is listed as questionable. RB Mike Boone (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice Friday and is also listed as questionable. OT Riley Reiff (ankle) was limited in practice all week but has been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Vikings secondary hasn't been very good to begin with and now they will be without their top two corners. The offense is going to have to go in with a more aggressive game plan knowing that this defense will force them to score a lot of points to win. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [NO - New Orleans' Week 3 injury report]() Source: NewOrleansSaints.com New Orleans Saints WR [Michael Thomas](=) (ankle) and LB Chase Hansen (hip) did not participate in practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. DE Marcus Davenport (elbow) and DE Trey Hendrickson (groin) were limited in practice Friday, Sept. 25, and are listed as questionable. RB [Ty Montgomery](=) (hamstring) and David Onyamata (calf) were limited in practice Friday after being added to the injury report and are also listed as questionable. OT Terron Armstead (groin) and DT Malcom Brown (foot) were also limited in practice Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Tre'Quan Smith will start in place of Thomas and will have a chance to build on a 5-86 performance on Monday night. Two of the Saints best edge rushers are questionable, but the Packers will be without their top receiver, so this one might not be a shootout. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [PHI - WR Alshon Jeffery to miss Week 3](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (foot) won't play Sunday, Sept. 27, in Week 3 as he continues his recovery from a foot injury, head coach Doug Pederson said Friday. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The clock is ticking for JJ Arcega-Whiteside to make an impact before Jeffery returns. Jeffery could return for the Sunday night game at San Francisco next week. Add Jeffery in deep leagues before the news of his imminent return is more widely known. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [LAC - LA Chargers' Week 3 injury report]() Source: Chargers.com - Bill Johnston Los Angeles Chargers LB Asmar Bilal (calf), DT Justin Jones (shoulder) and QB [Tyrod Taylor](=) (ribs, chest) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. RB [Justin Jackson](=) (quad) and LB Nick Vigil (groin) did not practice all week and are listed as doubtful. DE Melvin Ingram (knee) and did not practice Friday, Sept. 25, and is also listed as doubtful. OG Trai Turner (groin) also did not practice Friday but is listed as questionable. S Rayshawn Jenkins (groin) was limited in practice all week and is also listed as questionable. OT Bryan Bulaga (knee) was upgraded to a full practice Friday and is listed as questionable as well. DE Joey Bosa (triceps), TE [Hunter Henry](=) (ankle) and DB Desmond King (back) practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ingram is a standout and his absence will help Teddy Bridgewater although Uchenna Nwosu is an up and comer and could show the Chargers that there is a less of a dropoff than they think as Ingram enters free agency next year. Jones has also had a good start to the season and his loss will hurt the defensive line. Vigil being out will get Kyzir White on the field a lot for the second straight week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [PIT - Pittsburgh's Week 3 injury report]() Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers QB [Ben Roethlisberger](=) (non-injury), WR [Diontae Johnson](=) (toe), WR [JuJu Smith-Schuster](=) (knee), C Maurkice Pouncey (non-injury), OG David DeCastro (knee), DE Stephon Tuitt (non-injury), DE Tyson Alualu (knee), DT Cameron Heyward (non-injury) and C J.C. Hassenauer (ankle) practiced in full Friday, Sept. 25, and have been removed from the injury report for Week 3 versus the Houston Texans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Steelers are relatively healthy heading into Week 3 with the return of DeCastro to the offensive line the biggest story after they lost their right tackle for the year in Week 1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [TB - Week 3 injury report for Tampa Bay](=) Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Justin Watson](=) (shoulder) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos. DL Ndamukong Suh (non-injury) did not practice Friday, Sept. 25, but is expected to play. WR [Chris Godwin](=) (concussion), WR [Scott Miller](=) (hip, groin), LB Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) and OT Donovan Smith (knee) practiced in full Friday and have been removed from the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Miller will get a chance to redeem himself as the #3 behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin after dropping a score last week because Watson is out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [HOU - Houston's injury report for Week 3](=) Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans RB [Duke Johnson](=) (ankle) and LB Peter Kalambayi (hamstring) were limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable for Week 3 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. WR [Kenny Stills](=) (illness) was limited in practice Friday, Sept. 25, after getting added to the injury report and is also listed as questionable. DE J.J. Watt (groin, non-injury) and WR [Randall Cobb](=) (non-injury) did not practice Friday but are expected to play. WR [Brandin Cooks](=) (quad), FB Cullen Gillaspia (concussion), OT Laremy Tunsil (elbow) and OT Tytus Howard (ankle) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Will Fuller is conspicuously absent from the injury report. He should get a lot of targets against the Steelers as long as he feels better, but there's obviously risk of a zero again if his hamstring issue flares up. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [TEN - Week 3 injury report for Tennessee]() Source: TitanInsider.com - Terry McCormick Tennessee Titans WR [A.J. Brown](=) (knee) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Minnesota Vikings. CB Chris Jackson (hamstring) and LB Derick Roberson (illness) were limited in practice Friday, Sept. 25, and have also been ruled out. CB Malcolm Butler (quad), OT Dennis Kelly (illness), TE [Jonnu Smith](=) (ankle), LB Vic Beasley (knee), OL Jamil Douglas (hand), RB Darrynton Evans (hamstring) and CB Johnathan Joseph (calf, illness) practiced in full Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] At this point you have to wonder if Brown will play next week against Pittsburgh in a big AFC tilt. Adam Humphries and Corey Davis are both in positions to succeed against a Vikings secondary without their top two corners this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [DEN - RB Phillip Lindsay practices Friday](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Denver Broncos RB [Phillip Lindsay](=) (foot) is participating in practice Friday, Sept. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lindsay is still doubtful and unlikely to play, but this gives him a shot to return on Thursday against the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [LVR - Las Vegas' injury report for Week 3](=) Source: Raiders.com Las Vegas Raiders OT Trent Brown (calf) and LB Nick Kwiatkoski (pectoral) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 against the New England Patriots.

OL Denzelle Good (thumb, illness), RB [Josh Jacobs](=) (hip) and TE [Darren Waller](=) (knee) were upgraded to a limited practice Friday and are listed as questionable. OT Sam Young (groin) was limited in practice all week and is also listed as questionable. WR [Bryan Edwards](=) (foot) was limited in practice all week but has been removed from the injury report. S Johnathan Abram (shoulder), CB Damon Arnette (wrist, thumb), LB Cory Littleton (shoulder), DE Carl Nassib (illness), WR [Hunter Renfrow](=) (ankle) and OG John Simpson (shoulder) practiced in full Friday and also no longer appear on the injury report. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jacobs and Waller are both on track to play, but it would be comforting if they weren't listed on the injury report. Both will be bigger parts of the passing game with Ruggs out. Nicholas Morrow will get the green dot on his helmet with Kwiatkowski out again. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [NE - Week 3 injury report for New England]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots C David Andrews (hand) and RB [James White](=) (personal) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

DL Adam Butler (shoulder), WR [Julian Edelman](=) (knee), WR N'Keal Harry (ankle) and OL Isaiah Wynn (calf) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable. LB Brandon Copeland (knee) was not assigned a practice designation Friday after being limited in practice earlier in the week, but he is also expected to play. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rex Burkhead should get most of the receiving work out of the backfield with White out and Sony Michel will handle goal line carries with UDFA JJ Taylor possibly figuring in. Edelman and Harry should play but check back in Sunday morning. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32.
