Diontae Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Week 3.

Johnson’s knee injury is a little more serious than we hoped, but it’s arguably a good sign that the Steelers aren’t placing the dynamic receiver on injured reserve yet. James Washington will step up for more snaps with Johnson out.

Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) is expected to be a game-time decision for Week 3.

Rams head coach Sean McVay says it’ll go up until pregame on Sunday for Henderson, so look for the starting running back to be listed as questionable later today. Los Angeles doesn’t play until the late-afternoon window of games, and he’ll be facing an elite Bucs run defense at less than 100% if he’s active on Sunday.

Anthony Firkser (knee) is out for Week 3.

Firkser didn’t practice all week, so the Titans went ahead and ruled him out for Sunday against the Colts. Consider Firkser week-to-week for now.

The NFL is reinstating Josh Gordon, according to ESPN.

Gordon will be eligible to play beginning in Week 4. The next step is finding a team. And hopefully this is the last time Gordon is suspended by the NFL. The former All-Pro receiver is now 30 years old.

Carson Wentz (ankles) to be a game-time decision for Week 3.

Wentz was able to get on the practice field today, and he’s obviously pushing to play against the Titans on Sunday. While Wentz is clearly at less than 100%, we expect he’ll start for the Colts. Wentz’ status will be known by 11:30 ET on Sunday morning.

Dalvin Cook (ankle) is questionable for Week 3.

Cook didn’t practice all week, but still has a chance to play, and he sounded like he will be able to give it a go. While you certainly can’t bench the superstar runner if he’s active, being at less than 100% could be enough to knock him down closer to low-end RB1 range than high-end RB1 range for this week. Alexander Mattison would draw the start and be at least a strong RB2 if Cook ends up being inactive.

DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) will be a game-time decision in Week 3.

We suspect Hopkins is good to go, but this is still something to monitor, and his absence would create added opportunities for A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and Rondale Moore. Consider Hopkins a WR1 option if he’s active.
