Stafford completed 15 of 25 passes for 155 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for minus-1 yard during the Rams' 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

The reigning NFL MVP looked anything but during a shockingly poor performance by his side of the ball, and Stafford finished with his lowest passing yardage total since Week 11 of last season. The veteran signal-caller tossed his one interception shortly before the halfway point of the second quarter on a pass intended for Puka Nacua just inside the 49ers' 15-yard line, a play that was costly both from the standpoint of the potential scoring opportunity it short-circuited and the fact it led to a San Francisco touchdown. Stafford's first chance to atone comes in a Week 2 home matchup against what is expected to be a fearsome Giants pass rush on Monday night, Sept. 21.

Stafford once again didn't play any offensive snaps during the preseason.

Stafford hasn't taken a preseason snap since the summer of 2019, but the difference this year from last is that he's healthy. While he dealt with back issues last summer, he's been a full participant in training camp this time around. Despite the back trouble, Stafford still started all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and led the league with 4,707 passing yards, 46 touchdowns and a 7.7 percent touchdown rate en route to winning the MVP Award. He finished as fantasy's overall QB3 but is being drafted on average as the QB12 this year.

Swift carried the ball 18 times for 124 yards and three touchdowns while catching his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

In the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history, Swift scored one-yard TDs in the first and third quarters before icing the contest with a 28-yard scamper on the Bears' final possession in the fourth. Swift tied his career high with 10 total touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving) in 2025, but he's well on his way to shattering that mark this season. The 27-year-old RB will look for another productive day at home in Week 2 against the Vikings.

The Bears and Swift agreed to a three-year, $33.75 million contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As a member of the Bears, Swift went for 1,345 yards from scrimmage and six total TDs in 2024 and 1,386 such yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025, which was enough for the team to commit to him through the 2029 campaign. He'll still have to contend with Kyle Monangai out of the backfield for the foreseeable future, but Swift has proved capable of heavy workloads, having averaged 235 touches per season over the last three years.

Swift (abdomen) is not listed on the Bears' Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

Swift dealt with cramps last week but is good to go for Sunday's season opener against the Panthers. With Kyle Monangai (knee) also removed from the injury report, Swift should operate as the clear RB1 versus Carolina, while Monangai is slated for a handful of carries behind him. Swift looks like a borderline RB1 fantasy option in Chicago's loaded offense.

Brown, who was officially placed on injured reserve Saturday, is expected to miss about six weeks due to a right high-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Patriots deactivated Brown just three days after he sustained the injury in the third quarter of Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks. Though recovery timelines for high-ankle sprains often range from 4-to-6 weeks, the Patriots quickly determined that Brown's injury is "a little more serious," which likely takes a return from IR in Week 6 when first eligible off the table. While their No. 1 wideout is sidelined until early November, the Patriots will have to lean more heavily on Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams as their primary receivers.

The Patriots are expected to place Brown (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Patriots needed less than 48 hours to decide that Brown will be out for at least four games. The earliest he could return from IR would be Week 6, but the Patriots' decision to deactivate Brown suggests he may not be ready by then. Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas took most of the snaps at receiver after Brown suffered a right high-ankle sprain in the third quarter of Wednesday's loss at Seattle.

Brown is expected to miss four weeks with the ankle injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Brown is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain that may require a stint on injured reserve, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. The good news is he suffered the injury on a Wednesday, which gives him a few extra days to rehab this week, but it's still looking like the star wideout will miss multiple games. While Brown is sidelined, the Patriots will need to lean on Romeo Doubs at wideout, while DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams all figure to take on larger roles. Hunter Henry is also a candidate to see a bigger target share while Brown is sidelined.

Herbert completed 17 of 27 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding five rushes for 29 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Herbert's final line was about as unremarkable as his performance in the shocking season-opening loss, one where the 2020 first-round pick was sacked three times in addition to his one interception. He had a particularly difficult second half outside of his eight-yard touchdown pass to Ladd McConkey (chest), as Los Angeles' six other possessions after halftime ended in either a punt, a blocked punt or the aforementioned interception, which came at the Cardinals' 5-yard line. The loss of McConkey to his injury in the third quarter certainly didn't help Herbert's cause, and he and his healthy teammates will look to atone for an alarming upset defeat when they face off with the division rival Raiders in next Sunday's home matchup.

Mevis made his lone extra-point try and didn't attempt any field goals in the Rams' Week 1 loss to San Francisco.

The Rams offense was held in check by a spirited San Francisco defense, and Mevis' only opportunity to kick came following Los Angeles' lone touchdown early in the second quarter. Mevis also didn't see a ton of FG tries during his rookie campaign last year, but that was largely because Los Angeles was so adept at getting into the end zone -- he went 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 39-for-39 on PAT tries across nine regular-season games. The Rams offense figures to be much more productive most weeks, so Mevis should see more frequent scoring opportunities moving forward.

Dowdle rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in two of five targets for six yards in the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Dowdle and Jaylen Warren are slated to have regular roles in the Steelers offense during the 2026 season, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Black rushed 14 times for 65 yards and brought in his only target for five yards during the 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

LaPorta caught five of eight targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win over the Saints.

LaPorta (hip) is not listed on the Lions' Week 1 injury report Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

LaPorta (hip) didn't play in any of the Lions' preseason contests.
