Burrow completed 25 of 35 passes for 254 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed five times for 20 yards in the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bengals have curiously struggled on offense in multiple Week 1 games during Burrow's tenure, but the star signal-caller was in solid form Sunday while connecting with nine different targets overall. Burrow hit Mike Gesicki on a two-yard touchdown late in the first quarter for the quarterback's one scoring toss, although his sole interception did result in a pick-six late in the third quarter. The costly turnover aside, the 2020 first-round pick's encouraging performance -- which came despite top receiver Ja'Marr Chase recording just two receptions for 12 yards -- affords Burrow some momentum heading into a Week 2 road showdown against the Texans next Sunday.

Burrow said on teammate Ja'Marr Chase's (knee) podcast that the quarterback has high hopes for the Bengals in 2026 after the team's offseason personnel changes, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports Thursday.

"We're going to have a really good team that has a chance to win every game that we step foot on the field for," Burrow said. "We brought in a lot of the right guys, a lot of the right people with the right mindsets to go and chase this goal of winning a Super Bowl." Cincinnati's offseason additions focused primarily on fixing a defense that allowed 28.9 points per game during the 2025 regular season, which was third most in the NFL. Burrow and the offense are poised for another productive campaign if the star QB can stay healthy after being limited to eight appearances last season due to a toe injury. Starting wide receivers Chase and Tee Higgins (heel), as well as running back Chase Brown, are all reprising their roles alongside Burrow to provide continuity on offense.

Henry rushed 24 times for 144 yards and three touchdowns and brought in his only target for 19 yards in the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Much like he'd done at the expense of the Bills in Week 1 of last season, Henry turned in one of his signature performances right out of the gate, and he struck for his first two touchdowns in the first half from four and 32 yards away. The superstar running back added a three-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter, and he consistently ripped off chunk gains throughout the afternoon at the expense of an overwhelmed Colts front. Henry's workload won't change under new head coach Jesse Minter if Sunday is any indication, and the perennial Pro Bowl back carries a stellar outlook for a Week 2 home matchup against a Saints defense that the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs gashed for 156 rushing yards and two touchdowns Sunday.

Henry will head into the Ravens' Week 1 game against the Colts with Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali as his backup options, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

Though Keaton Mitchell is now with the Chargers after the Ravens non-tendered him back in the spring, Henry will be supported by a pair of familiar sidekicks. Ali is expected to serve as the Ravens' primary kickoff returner and will see most of his snaps on special teams, while Hill returns to his usual role as the top change-of-pace option. Rookie fifth-round pick Adam Randall (undisclosed) could also factor into the equation at some point this season, though not until at least Week 5 after the Ravens placed him on injured reserve. The makeup of the backfield once again points to the 32-year-old Henry handling a workhorse role in 2026, after he averaged 19.6 touches and exactly one touchdown per game over the prior two regular seasons.

Johnston caught two of his six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Cardinals.

Johnston was unable to capture more than half of his targets, failing to show up even after No. 1 wide receiver Ladd McConkey (chest) exited the game with a chest injury. Johnston also committed a costly false-start penalty in the fourth quarter, which cannot be good for the wide receiver's chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert.

Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards while rushing six times for seven yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

Smith kept the offense on schedule but wasn't asked to do too much as the Jets rode their running game and defense to a convincing Week 1 win. There will likely be more pass-heavy game scripts to come, possibly as soon as Week 2 against the Packers, but Smith gave the Jets refreshingly competent quarterback play despite his modest yardage total to win the first game of his second stint with the team. Smith showed a nice connection with wide receivers Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell, connecting with them on nine of 10 targets for 139 yards.

Smith was voted a Jets captain by his teammates ahead of the 2026 season, Amanda Vogt and Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

It's been nearly 10 years since Smith last took a snap for the Jets, but after revitalizing his career with the Seahawks and Raiders over the last four seasons, he's back in New York as a grizzled vet with age (34) and experience on his side. Smith recorded at least 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns through the air in each of those four campaigns, but he also tossed 52 interceptions in 64 regular-season games during that span. Picks are often an issue for Smith, but he at least will have a nice skill-position group of RB Breece Hall (groin), WRs Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper and TEs Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq (abdomen) to throw to in 2026.

Sampson was on crutches and wearing a brace on the left knee he injured during Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Sampson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Sampson sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is considered questionable to return, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Branch (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Pittsburgh, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Branch (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Branch (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
