The Carolina Panthers became the first three-win team of the season on Thursday night, but unfortunately for Matt Rhule's squad, both Christian McCaffrey and Jaycee Horn left the game early with potentially serious injuries.

This weekend will be crucial for a number of teams trying to crawl out of an early hole, some of whom will be without their starting quarterbacks.

For non-roster injuries, be sure to check out our Injured Reserve tracker and our reserve/COVID-19 list tracker.

Here's a game-by-game breakdown of all the injuries heading into Week 3 and analysis of the biggest storylines:

Washington Football Team at Buffalo Bills; 1:00 PM

Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions; 1:00 PM

Ravens

DeShon Elliott	S	Concussion	DNP	DNP	FP	Questionable
Ronnie Stanley	T	Ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out

Daelin Hayes	LB	Knee	(-)	LP	FP	(-)
Chris Board	LB	Other	(-)	(-)	DNP	Questionable
Pernell McPhee	LB	Shoulder	(-)	(-)	DNP	Questionable

Despite the long list of “questionables,” count seven of them total, the bigger concern for the Ravens is their reserve/COVID-19 list which currently houses four players, including Justin Houston and Brandon Williams. Add in Derek Wolfe already being ruled out and it could be tough sledding for the Ravens defensive front. Calais Campbell and Odafe Oweh are the Ravens two best healthy pass-rushers, combining for 11 pressures in the first two weeks.

With Ronnie Stanley out, Alejandro Villanueva will get the second-straight start at right tackle. The former Steeler looked more comfortable at his natural position in Week 2 after surrendering a pair of sacks at right tackle in the season opener. Lions

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Jamie Collins Sr.	LB	Not Injury Related	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Trey Flowers	OLB	Shoulder/Knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Questionable
Michael Brockers	DE	Shoulder	LP	LP	LP	Questionable

Kalif Raymond	WR	Thigh	LP	LP	LP	Questionable
D'Andre Swift	RB	Groin	LP	LP	LP	Questionable
Kevin Strong	DE	Concussion/Thigh	LP	FP	LP	Questionable

Jamie Collins isn't hurt, but his time with the Lions is over. He will remain away from the team as they attempt to trade him. Rookie fourth-round pick Derrick Barnes and fifth-year vet Jalen Reeves-Maybin are the next two guys up on the depth chart. The former has just five NFL snaps under his belt and the latter hasn't started a game since 2019. The Ravens boast the NFL's most efficient rushing attack in the NFL and Detroit's defense has allowed 76 points through two games. If Collins's replacements aren't up to par, there could be a lot of points on the board.

Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars; 1:00 PM

Cardinals

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Kelvin Beachum	OL	Ribs	DNP	DNP	LP	Questionable
DeAndre Hopkins	WR	Ribs	DNP	DNP	DNP	Questionable

Byron Murphy Jr.	CB	Ankle	(-)	DNP	LP	Questionable
Justin Murray	OL	NIR – Personal	(-)	DNP	(-)	(-)
Brian Winters	OL	NIR – Personal	(-)	(-)	DNP	Out

The Cardinals offensive line looks extra depleted this week with right guard Brian Winters out due to personal reasons and reserve tackle Joshua Miles out with an ankle injury. Kelvin Beachum is dealing with a broken rib that “got worse” in Week 2 so his status is firmly questionable.

Josh Jones will continue to start at right guard, but Winters has been rotating in at the spot at times. However, Jones will play uninterrupted on Sunday after the Cardinals released Winters on Saturday. Justin Murray would be the next guy up at right tackle if Beachum can't go, but he is a suitable replacement after not allowing a sack in 362 pass-blocking snaps last season.

Atlanta Falcons at New York Giants; 1:00 PM

Falcons

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Russell Gage	WR	Ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
A.J. Terrell	CB	Concussion	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Frank Darby	WR	Calf	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out

Russell Gage's absence opens the door for Tajae Sharpe or Christian Blake to get more looks in the Falcons' offensive attack. The duo has only received three targets this season in the Falcons' lackluster passing game. Matt Ryan's 5.6 yards per attempt ranks among the five worst quarterbacks in football.

T.J. Green will start at corner for A.J. Terrell. Green has received the Falcons' second-highest coverage grade on Pro Football Focus this season. The only issue is Terrell is the man ranked ahead of him.

Giants

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Cam Brown	LB	Hamstring	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Nate Ebner	DB	Quad	DNP	LP	LP	(-)
Austin Johnson	DT	Illness	DNP	LP	FP	(-)
Saquon Barkley	RB	Knee	LP	LP	LP	(-)

Logan Ryan	DB	Hamstring	LP	LP	LP	(-)
Kaden Smith	TE	Knee	LP	LP	LP	(-)
Kadarius Toney	WR	Ankle	(-)	LP	LP	(-)

Kenny Golloday missed a lot of time last year with a hip injury so the re-emergence of that is certainly worrisome. However, Evan Engram is trending the right way and could be a go on Sunday. Daniel Jones has targeted the middle of the field a lot this season, but Engram thrives more outside the numbers. Consider this: Of Engram's 54 targets over the middle in 2020, only 28 were complete and six were intercepted.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers; 1:00 PM

Bengals

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Tee Higgins	WR	Shoulder	DNP	DNP	LP	Doubtful
Xavier Su'a-Filo	G	Knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Doubtful
Trae Waynes	CB	Hamstring	DNP	LP	LP	Doubtful
Larry Ogunjobi	DT	Groin	LP	LP	FP	(-)

Xavier Su'a-Filo's impending absence could lead to rookie Jackson Carman's first NFL start. The second-round pick out of Clemson has played just five snaps this year, all on special teams. The Bengals' offensive line hasn't gotten off to a great start this season, ranking in the bottom-10 of PFF's pass-blocking and run-blocking ratings.

No Tee Higgins could also be an issue for the Bengals. Higgins leads the team in targets and catches. Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase, who is averaging 22.1 yards per catch, should get most of the targets from Joe Burrow this week.

Steelers

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Ben Roethlisberger	QB	Pectoral	DNP	LP	FP	(-)
Diontae Johnson	WR	Knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Joe Haden	CB	Groin	LP	FP	FP	(-)
Justin Layne	CB	Achilles	LP	DNP	FP	(-)
Devin Bush	LB	Groin	FP	FP	(-)	(-)
Alex Highsmith	LB	Groin	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Carlos Davis	DT	Knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
T.J. Watt	LB	Groin	LP	LP	LP	Questionable
Marcus Allen	LB	Abdomen	(-)	DNP	FP	(-)

T.J. Watt seems to be a firm game-time decision at this point. While the Steelers do have Melvin Ingram III to man one of their edge rusher spots, Alex Highsmith's absence leaves a pretty big hole on the other side of the field. Former undrafted free agent Jamir Jones could get his first career start after playing just 16 snaps in the first two games of the season. Taco Charlton is currently on the Steelers' practice squad and could be activated for the game due to a lack of depth on the roster.

Diontae Johnson is the big name who will be missing from the Steelers offense after injuring his knee late last week. James Washington could be the Steelers' third receiver behind Juju Smith-Schuster and Chase Claypool.

Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns; 1:00 PM

Bears

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Jeremiah Attaochu	LB	Hamstring	DNP	LP	LP	Questionable
Andy Dalton	QB	Knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Akiem Hicks	DL	Illness/knee	DNP	DNP	FP	Questionable
Tashaun Gipson Sr.	DB	Hamstring	LP	DNP	DNP	Doubtful
Eddie Goldman	DL	Knee	LP	LP	DNP	Questionable
Darnell Mooney	WR	Groin	LP	LP	LP	Questionable
Marquise Goodwin	WR	Ankle	(-)	FP	FP	Questionable
Eddie Jackson	DB	Toe	(-)	(-)	FP	Questionable
Bilal Nichols	DL	Back	(-)	(-)	FP	Questionable

Justin Fields will get his first NFL start on Sunday. However, it couldn't be a much better matchup for the rookie. Cleveland has allowed 8.7 yards per pass attempt this season and only four teams have less than the three sacks tallied by the Browns this season. Cleveland has also only blitzed on 23 percent of their defensive snaps whereas the Bengals–Fields's opponent last week–blitz closer to 35 percent of the time.

If Eddie Goldman is out, Khyiris Tonga will make his first NFL start. The 321-pound rookie has played 21 snaps this season at nose tackle. In his five rushing attempts off the center, Nick Chubb has picked up 32 yards.

Browns

Odell Beckham Jr.	WR	Knee	FP	FP	FP	(-)

Demetric Felton	RB	Hip	(-)	LP	FP	(-)
Tony Fields II	LB	Illness	(-)	DNP	FP	(-)

Odell Beckham Jr. will play for the first time this season and there will be targets to go around with Jarvis Landry landing on the IR this week. Beckham hasn't reached 100 yards in a game since Week 6 of 2019.

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs; 1:00 PM

Chargers

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Joey Bosa	OLB	Foot/Ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	Questionable
Austin Ekeler	RB	Ankle	FP	FP	FP	(-)
Matt Feiler	G	Ankle	FP	FP	FP	(-)
Chris Harris Jr.	CB	Shoulder	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Derwin James Jr.	S	Toe	DNP	FP	FP	(-)
Justin Jones	DL	Calf	DNP	DNP	DNP	Doubtful
Kenneth Murray Jr.	LB	Ankle	FP	FP	FP	(-)

Losing Chris Harris Jr. before playing the Chiefs high-flying offense certainly isn't ideal, although Asante Samuel Jr. played well in his first-career start last week. He notched a pair of pass breakups and an interception on six targets.

The Chargers' pass rush could also be thin if Joey Bosa is unable to go. Justin Jones already looks to be out, leaving Christian Covington to start in his spot. Edge rusher Kyler Fackrell had double-digit sacks for the Packers in 2018, but hasn't had the same success since. He did have a sack last week and his 93.0 pass-rushing grade on PFF was second to T.J. Watt.

Chiefs

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Anthony Hitchens	LB	Abdomen	LP	FP	FP	(-)
Chris Jones	DT	Wrist	LP	LP	LP	Questionable
Derrick Nnadi	DT	Hip	LP	FP	FP	(-)
Blake Bell	TE	Ankle	FP	FP	FP	(-)

L'Jarius Sneed	CB	Quad	FP	FP	FP	(-)
Charvarius Ward	CB	Quad	(-)	(-)	DNP	Questionable
Frank Clark	DE	Hamstring	(-)	LP	DNP	Doubtful

The Chiefs defense ranks dead last in quarterback pressures so far this season and possibly not having Frank Clark this week certainly won't help fix that. Expect Michael Danna to start for Clark like he did in Week 1. Danna had three sacks in 2020 as a rookie and his two quarterback pressures this year rank second to Chris Jones on the team.

New Orleans Saints at New England Patriots; 1:00 PM

Saints

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Erik McCoy	C/G	Calf	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out

P.J. Williams	CB	Back	LP	FP	FP	(-)
Payton Turner	DE	Elbow	LP	LP	LP	(-)
Tanoh Kpassagnon	DE	Calf	FP	FP	FP	(-)

The return of Marshon Lattimore and C.J. Gardner-Johnson will be a huge help for a Saints secondary that was carved up by Sam Darnold last week. Paulson Adebo allowed nine completions and a touchdown on 11 targets against Carolina.

Patriots

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Matt Judon	LB	Knee	DNP	LP	FP	(-)
Trent Brown	OL	Calf	LP	LP	LP	Questionable

Kyle Van Noy	LB	Throat	FP	FP	FP	(-)
Adrian Phillips	DB	Not Injury Related	(-)	DNP	DNP	Questionable
Josh Uche	LB	Back	(-)	(-)	LP	Questionable

The Patriots better hope Trent Brown is ready to go on Sunday because their right tackle situation isn’t great in his absence. Yasir Durant started at right tackle on last week, but was benched after allowing three sacks.

Justin Herron was the next man off the bench and while he didn’t allow any sacks, his play didn’t inspire much confidence. Left guard Michael Onwenu did start 13 games at right tackle last season and could move back there in a pinch.

Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans; 1:00 PM

Colts

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status

Carson Wentz	QB	Ankles	DNP	DNP	LP	Questionable
Parris Campbell	WR	Abdomen	LP	LP	FP	(-)
Julian Blackmon	S	Shoulder	FP	FP	FP	(-)

Carson Wentz's ankles are the biggest question heading into Week 3. Only Jacob Eason and practice squad quarterback Brett Hundley split time with the first-team offense in practice this week before Wentz's return on Friday. Wentz may be an upgrade over Eason and Huntley, but whether he's been worth his price tag this season is another story. Despite ranking fifth in the NFL in time-to-throw, Wentz has been sacked six times on 37 dropbacks.

However, according to Ian Rappaport, Wentz is expected to start on Sunday after a strong practice on Friday. Huntley was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday as a precaution.

Titans

Ty Sambrailo	T	Foot	FP	LP	FP	(-)
Chris Jackson	DB	Illness	(-)	DNP	FP	(-)

Caleb Farley, Anthony Firkser and Derick Robinson being out on Sunday isn't a surprise. However, keep an eye on Bud Dupree, who will be a game-time decision after missing practice on Friday. While backup Ola Adeniyi picked up his first-career sack last week, Dupree has been one of the team's worst pass-rushers, per PFF. The Colts offensive line has struggled this season, ranking 30th in PFF's pass-blocking grades.

Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders; 4:05 PM

DeVante Parker	WR	Shoulder	FP	FP	FP	(-)
Preston Williams	WR	Foot	FP	FP	FP	(-)

Jacoby Brissett will start his first NFL game since 2019 when he posted a QBR of 52.1 in 15 starts for the Colts. Brissett struggled coming off the bench last week, averaging just 4.2 yards per attempt, getting sacked four times and tossing an interception as well.

Unfortunately for Brissett, Las Vegas boasts a strong pass rush, led by Maxx Crosby, who currently leads the NFL in quarterback pressures with 19. Add in Yannick Ngakoue and Carl Nassib, both of whom are expected to play, and it could be a tough afternoon for the Dolphins.

Raiders

Roderic Teamer	S	Ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	Out
Johnathan Abram	S	Achilles	(-)	FP	FP	(-)

Josh Jacobs missing the second straight week isn't good news for a Vegas offense that ranks last in the NFL in yards per carry. Peyton Barber and Kenyan Drake have struggled to pick up the slack since Jacobs went down, combining for 53 yards on 26 carries this season. The Dolphins don't present a particularly stout run defense, allowing 4.5 yards per carry this season.

New York Jets at Denver Broncos; 4:05 PM

John Franklin-Myers	DL	Calf	DNP	LP	FP	Questionable
Jamien Sherwood	LB	Ankle	LP	FP	FP	(-)
Tevin Coleman	RB	Illness	(-)	(-)	FP	Out

The Jets have been splitting carries among Tevin Coleman, Michael Carter and Ty Johnson pretty equally this season. With Coleman out on Sunday, expect the duo of Carter and Johnson to stay pretty balanced in touches.

Jamison Crowder will have to wait another week to make his 2021 debut after aggravating a calf injury in practice late last week. Braxton Berrios has been a pleasant surprise so far, catching 12 of his 18 targets for 12 yards.

Broncos

Player	Position	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Game Status
Mike Purcell	NT	Knee	DNP	LP	LP	Questionable

The Broncos placed Bradley Chubb on the IR with an ankle injury, opening the door for Malik Reed to start opposite Von Miller. Reed was the Broncos' best pass rusher in 2020, leading the team with eight sacks.

Marquise Blair	FS	Knee		LP	FP	(-)

Brandon Shell is out after injuring his ankle last week. The right tackle will be replaced by Jamarco Jones, who has only played 14 snaps this season. Jones has made one start at right tackle in his career, allowing just one quarterback pressure against the New York Giants in Week 13 of last year.

Dalvin Cook	RB	Ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	Questionable
Harrison Hand	CB	Hamstring	(-)	(-)	DNP	Out

Dalvin Cook's ankle is a tricky situation. The running back didn't practice at all this week, but it could have been precautionary as he carries the “questionable” designation into the weekend. Cook did “some work” according to Mike Zimmer on Friday. The running back has touched the ball 50 times through the first two weeks of the season.

At 0-2, the Vikings may be desperate and push their star to play, especially with Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah as his only backups. Mattison has just six touches this season, which is twice what Abdullah has garnered.

Jason Pierre-Paul being out could lead to more snaps from Anthony Nelson. The reserve linebacker has only received nine pass-rushing snaps this season. He will play behind Shaquil Barrett and William Gholston. However, the Bucs have blitzed an NFL-high 44.6-percent of the time this season, so expected pressure to come from everywhere.

Darrell Henderson's rib injury shouldn't keep him out of action this Sunday. However, Sony Michel would be the next man up and could receive more snaps if Henderson is limited at all. However, Michel hasn't been a presence in the passing game and is still looking for his first target of the season.

Elgton Jenkins has been one of the Packers most important players and his loss will be felt on Sunday night. Jenkins has started 32-straight games, but his replacement remains a mystery. Billy Turner has experience and could slide over from right tackle or Yosh Nijman could be getting his first-career start and protect the blindside of the reigning MVP against Nick Bosa.

Trey Sermon is the only 49ers running back to be healthy after all three went down against the Eagles last week. Sermon was inactive in Week 1 and received just one carry in Week 2, but took a nasty hit and landed in concussion protocol. The third-round pick will get a lot of touches with only Jacques Patrick and Trent Cannon listed on the roster as his backups. However, Kyle Shanahan could get creative and use Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk or even Trey Lance in the rushing attack.

Boston Scott	RB	Illness	(-)	DNP	DNP	Questionable

The Eagles were dealt a tough blow last week, losing Brandon Graham for the season to a torn Achilles and losing Brandon Brooks for a while due to a pectoral injury. Philadelphia signed Ryan Kerrigan in the offseason and he has played 66 forgettable snaps through the first two weeks. Josh Sweat could also get the start on Monday night after signing a long-term extension last week. However, most of Sweat's experience has come playing on the right side of the line, spelling Derek Barnett.

Expect rookie second-round pick Landon Dickerson to fill in for Brooks at right guard. The Alabama product returned from a torn ACL in Week 2.

The bad news continued on Friday when Jordan Mailata sprained his knee in practice. Former first-round pick Andre Dillard will start at left tackle on Monday night. Dillard struggled in his rookie season and didn't play in 2020 after suffering an injury in training camp. Monday night will be his first start at left tackle since Week 9 of 2019.

The Cowboys will get Randy Gregory back this week from the reserve/COVID-19 list to aid their pass rush. With DeMarcus Lawrence on the shelf, Micah Parsons could find himself playing a lot on the edge for a second straight week. The rookie played 39 snaps on the defensive line last week after playing 38 snaps as a linebacker in Week 1. He was an elite pass-rusher too, racking up eight quarterback pressures, three quarterback hits and a sack.
