Cam Akers - RB

Minnesota Vikings

Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said RB Cam Akers is “more than likely” out for Week 3 against the Chargers.

Added Yesterday 6:34 pm (EST) Judd Zulgad

O’Connell said Akers is expected to be ready for Week 4. Traded mid-week, Akers simply didn’t have enough time to get a meaningful amount of the playbook under his belt. Understandably, Minnesota will roll with Ty Chandler as their backup for another week. Once active, Akers should take some carries off Alexander Mattison’s plate, though Mattison will remain the starter. With both banks sitting near the bottom of the league in nearly every efficiency metric, this is a situation to avoid once Akers is active.

J. Jones - DB

Patriots ruled CB Jonathan Jones out for Week 3 against the Jets.

New England again finds themselves thin in the secondary with three of their top four corners out for Week 3. Rookies Christian Gonzalez and Amir Speed are likely to see increased roles in the absence of Jonathan Jones, Jack Jones, and Marcus Jones.

J. Luton - QB

CAR

Panthers elevated QB Jake Luton from the practice squad.

Just days after joining the organization, Luton will no back up veteran quarterback Andy Dalton in Week 3 against the Seahawks. Rookie starter Bryce Young has already been ruled out with an ankle injury.

J. Burrow - QB

CIN

Bengals listed QB Joe Burrow questionable for MNF against the Rams.

The Bengals also signed free agent quarterback AJ McCarron to their practice squad on Saturday, giving the sense that Burrow, who managed a limited showing in practice on Friday after consecutive “DNP” to start the week, could be in legitimate danger of missing Week 3. Burrow aggravated the calf injury he sustained in camp in Week 2. We’re still waiting on the final injury report from the team. Fantasy managers with Burrow will need to make a contingency plan considering the team plays on Monday.

T. Sermon - RB

IND

Colts signed RB Trey Sermon off the practice squad.

Sermon takes the spot of Deon Jackson, who was released after starting Week 1. Zack Moss remains the favorite to lead Indy’s Week 3 backfield with Sermon likely mixing in as the RB2.

A. McCarron - QB

ATL

Bengals worked out free agent QB AJ McCarron.

McCarron, 33, signed with the XFL this offseason rather than staying in the NFL as a backup. Returning to the Bengals would add further insurance with Joe Burrow (calf) working through a setback. McCarron had 2,150 and a 24:6 TD/INT ratio in nine XFL starts this season.

C. Samuel - WR

WAS

Washington WR Curtis Samuel (hip, illness) was removed from the injury report.

Samuel was upgraded after being listed as questionable. The illness that kept Samuel out of practice Friday was the larger concern but this confirms he’s healthy enough to play. Samuel has caught all eight of his targets for 73 yards through the first two games.

D. Jackson - RB

IND

Colts released RB Deon Jackson.

Jackson started Week 1 for the Colts before being held without a carry or offensive snap in Zack Moss’ return last week. The Colts will promote RB Trey Sermon to replace Jackson on the roster. 24-year-old Jackson should resurface on a practice squad if he’s not back with the Colts.

D. Greenlaw - LB

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said LB Dre Greenlaw (ankle) is day to day with a low-ankle sprain.

The low sprain gives Greenlaw a chance to play in Week 4 with the 49ers coming off a Thursday night game. Greenlaw has been one of the 49ers leading tacklers with 22 tackles through three weeks. Rookie Dee Winters is listed as Greenlaw’s backup.
