Tagovailoa (oblique) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Tagovailoa took part in his first full practice since Sept. 9, after he sustained an oblique injury a day later that kept him from playing in either of the Falcons' first two games of the season. The 28-year-old had been poised to direct the offense for Atlanta in Week 1 before the oblique injury cropped up, but he'll now have to settle for the No. 2 role with Michael Penix (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut as the team's starting quarterback Thursday versus the Packers.

Keenum could be in line to start Monday's game against the Eagles with both Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Tyson Bagent (concussion) uncertain to be available, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

A healthy inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback in the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Vikings this past Sunday, Keenum may be called upon for his first start since 2023 while the statuses of the top two signal-callers on the depth chart are in flux. After Williams exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, head coach Ben Johnson noted Monday that he didn't expect Williams to practice this week but wasn't willing to officially rule him out from playing against the Eagles. As a result, Bagent appeared on track to receive all of the first-team reps in practice, but his surprise placement in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Tuesday suddenly puts him at risk of joining Williams in street clothes in Week 3. While he represents an experienced fallback plan if Williams and Bagent can't go, the 38-year-old Keenum would likely handle more of a game-manager role as a starter, which could hinder the fantasy prospects of all of the Bears' pass catchers.

Winston could be in line for an extended run as the Giants' starting quarterback after Jaxson Dart sustained a more serious knee injury than anticipated in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.

After exiting in the first quarter Monday, Dart received a preliminary diagnosis of a sprained MCL, an injury that typically entails a multi-week absence but typically isn't season-ending. Unfortunately for Dart, follow-up tests Tuesday seemingly revealed additional damage to his knee that could potentially lead to season-ending surgery. Dart will likely receive additional medical opinions before a treatment plan and recovery timeline is established, but with an extended absnce on tap, the door is open for Winston to direct the New York offense beginning with Sunday's game versus Tennessee. Winston averaged a healthy 8.6 yards per attempt between two starts and one brief appearance off the bench with the Giants a season ago, but he was highly inefficient in relief of Dart in his 2026 debut Monday, completing just 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and an interception.

Dart is facing the possibility of season-ending surgery after further testing Tuesday revealed that the left knee injury he sustained in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams is worse than originally anticipated, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Giants had previously been optimistic that Dart would avoid an extended absence after initial scans following Monday's game suggested that he sustained an MCL sprain in his knee, but follow-up tests appear to have revealed more significant damage. Dart is likely to seek out additional medical opinions before deciding on a treatment plan for his injury, but if surgery is deemed necessary, he would likely be lost for the remainder of the 2026 campaign. Jameis Winston is poised to direct the Giants offense in Week 3 versus the Titans and could be in line for an extended run as the team's starting quarterback.

Bagent was diagnosed with a concussion and placed in the five-step protocol Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

With Caleb Williams viewed as week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Vikings, Bagent appeared to be the leading candidate to start Monday against the Eagles. However, now that he's been placed in concussion protocol, Bagent's availability for Week 3 is suddenly up in the air. Third-stringer Case Keenum is left as the only healthy quarterback on the roster and could be in line to start against the Eagles if neither Williams nor Bagent is cleared to play Monday.

Ertz signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Monday that the 35-year-old Ertz would sign with the Eagles as a member of the practice squad, but he instead appears set to join the 53-man roster right away. Ertz, who won his lone Super Bowl ring and earned each of his three Pro Bowl nods as a member of the Eagles from 2013 through 2021, may need some time to get back up to full speed after tearing his ACL last December and then not participating in training camp with a team. Once he's fully ramped up, Ertz could settle in as the Eagles' top tight end with Dallas Goedert (knee) facing a multi-week absence and with Eli Stowers (quadriceps/hamstring) and Grant Calcaterra (back) already on injured reserve.

Levis agreed Tuesday to sign with the Jets' practice squad, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

The Jets will cut Bailey Zappe from their practice squad and have Levis replace him in their quarterback room. A 2023 second-round pick, the 27-year-old Levis was waived by the Titans at the end of the preseason after he completed 61 percent of his passes for 7.0 yards per attempt and a 21:16 TD:INT to go with a 70-240-1 rushing line across 21 starts over his first three seasons in the NFL.

Rams head coach Sean McVay acknowledged Tuesday that he's uncertain if Nacua (groin) will be available for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports. "I'm not sure what his status is as far as this next coming week," McVay said of Nacua. "I'm hopeful that he'll play.... If he's ready to go, great. If not, then we'll continue to roll."

Nacua was inactive for Monday's 28-6 win over the Giants due to groin soreness, an issue that kept him from practicing Friday and Saturday. Though McVay is hopeful that the star wideout's absence will be contained to one game, Nacua's status for Week 3 will be murky until he's able to get back on the practice field. While Nacua was sidelined for the Week 2 win, Davante Adams stepped in as quarterback Matthew Stafford's top target and finished with a magnificent 8-195-2 receiving line.

Grey played 40 offensive snaps and 10 special-teams snaps in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.

Gray started alongside Kelce, playing 50 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps in the overtime contest. The tight end assisted in blocking for Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker and was also a meaningful part of the special teams unit. Grey was unable to catch his only target in the game.

Fields brought in two of six targets for 30 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night.

Fields finished third in receptions and second in targets for the Giants on a night when Jaxson Dart (knee) exited after just one series. One of Fields' catches came during that opening drive, as he secured a 14-yard grab on third down to move the chains. The rookie third-round pick has enjoyed a solid complementary role over his first two NFL games, posting a 4-55-0 line on 10 targets. Fields is slotting in ahead of veteran Darnell Mooney on the depth chart heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday.
