Nix completed 22 of 31 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding five carries for six yards in the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Nix and the Broncos' offense started the game off in worrisome fashion, seemingly carrying over the malaise of their Week 1 Monday night loss to the Chiefs. Denver was still facing a 13-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, but Nix rallied the troops with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Nate Adkins and a key 17-yard strike to Evan Engram midway through the fourth quarter on what turned out to be the game-winning drive. The victory pulled the Broncos to 1-1 and gave Nix's early-season stats a serious boost heading into a Week 3 home showdown against the Rams next Sunday night.

Nix completed 17 of 28 passes for 131 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding three carries for two yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night. He also committed three fumbles, losing one and recovering one of the two others that remained with Denver.

Nix's season and night immediately got off on the wrong foot when he threw an ill-advised interception into blanket coverage on the part of rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder) on the Broncos' opening drive of 2026, setting up the Chiefs' first touchdown of the night. When Nix wasn't turning the ball over -- he also lost the handle on a late third-quarter sack to give Kansas City possession at the Broncos' 34-yard line -- he was having significant trouble producing any noteworthy gains with his arm, averaging just 4.7 yards per attempt overall. Nix did connect with Evan Engram in the first quarter for a 19-yard scoring strike that answered the Chiefs' first touchdown, but he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 2 home matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Montgomery rushed six times for 10 yards and brought in both his targets for 14 yards in the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Neither Montgomery nor backfield mate Woody Marks was able to make any inroads against what looks to be a vastly improved Bengals run defense, although after also being held to 3.0 yards per carry in Week 1, it's clear Montgomery's early issues with efficiency can at least partly be blamed on the Texans' offensive line. Montgomery also saw Marks outpace him by two carries and four targets, yet that may have been largely a function of a game script that saw Houston in catch-up mode. Montgomery should revert back to a lead role in a Week 3 road divisional clash against the Colts next Sunday.

Montgomery rushed 20 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Montgomery scored Houston's first two touchdowns of the season with a one-yard run in the first quarter followed by an 18-yard run in the second. The offseason trade acquisition from Detroit added a third touchdown on a seven-yard catch as the Texans pulled ahead 28-27 early in the fourth quarter, but Houston's vaunted defense failed to hold that lead. Montgomery's 23 touches in his Texans debut were more than he had in any of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 for Detroit, where he had to share the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. Woody Marks had 10 touches for 40 yards in a change-of-pace role behind Montgomery, but the latter is clearly Houston's top running back heading into a Week 2 home game against the Bengals.

McLaurin brought in two of nine targets for 50 yards in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The veteran receiver led the Commanders in receiving yards and targets, but his efficiency left plenty to be desired. McLaurin's day would have also looked a lot different if he'd been able to keep his balance on an early fourth-quarter deep pass from Marcus Mariota on which the veteran receiver was running wide open down the right sideline. The elbow injury suffered by Jayden Daniels on the last play of the first half also didn't help McLaurin's cause, and it's possible an extended absence on the part of the star signal-caller affects the wideout's performance in coming weeks.

McLaurin caught two of four targets for 14 yards against Philadelphia in a loss Sunday.

McLaurin surprisingly took a back seat to third-round rookie Antonio Williams (4-61-1) and veteran Stefon Diggs (4-55-1) in the season opener. McLaurin had as many targets (four) as Williams but logged less than half as many as Diggs' nine. It's expected that McLaurin will serve as the Commanders' No. 1 wideout again this year, but with Diggs and Williams both new to the receiving corps, it remains to be seen how QB Jayden Daniels will adjust his distribution of targets. McLaurin will look for a more robust line in Week 2, when Washington will face the Cowboys, who gave up the most passing yards in the league last year.

The Falcons announced that Penix (knee) has been named the team's starting quarterback for Thursday's game against the Packers, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Atlanta has determined that Penix is ready to make his 2026 debut, after he was held out for the first two games of the season while ramping back up from surgery last November to address a torn ACL in his left knee. Penix was cleared to resume taking part in 11-on-11 drills in late August, then avoided any setbacks while he was a full participant in practices throughout Weeks 1 and 2. With Penix back in the fold, Cooper Rush -- who started the first two games of the season -- could be inactive for Week 3 if Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) is deemed ready to handle the No. 2 role.

Penix (knee), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, could be cleared to start Thursday's game against the Packers in Week 3, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Penix was ruled out for Week 2 on Friday, so Cooper Rush will start for the Falcons for the second time in as many games. However, Penix has been practicing fully for two weeks, and if he feels confident that he is ready to play on his surgically-repaired left knee, he could take over as Atlanta's starter in Week 3.

Penix (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Meanwhile, Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) is listed as doubtful to play, leaving coach Kevin Stefanski to announce Cooper Rush as Atlanta's starting QB for a second contest in a row to kick off the campaign, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Penix has been listed as a full participant in practice going back to last week, and while he's told Falcons media that he feels "really close" to his first game action since tearing his left ACL last November, he still has "some goals" that he needs to meet. Penix's next chance for game action is next Thursday at Green Bay.

Loop went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.

Loop had his first field-goal try from 49 yards blocked in the second quarter before converting from 49 yards in the third quarter. It was a step back from Loop's Week 1 in which he made all seven kicks. He'll be in line for a big rebound game Sunday in a potential shootout under the dome at AT&T Stadium against the Cowboys.

Loop made both of his field-goal attempts and all five PATs in Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts.

After a rough preseason, Loop kept his job as the Ravens' kicker despite the team's addition of Jake Moody to the practice squad. Loop was just 1-for-4 on field-goal tries from 50-plus yards as a rookie last season, but he drilled his 57-yard attempt Sunday against Indy and added a 45-yard make. If he can be more consistent, Loop should be a premier fantasy kicker in this high-powered Baltimore offense.

The Panthers placed Brooks (core) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Brooks is expected to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a core-muscle injury and is likely to miss at least six weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Brooks is considered week-to-week while he receives further medical opinions on the groin injury he sustained in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Claiborne caught his sole target for two yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Claiborne was a healthy scratch for the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Packers, but he's in line for a larger role for at least the next four games after Jordan Mason (thumb) was placed on injured reserve, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Claiborne (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Wilson caught two of seven targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

Wilson secured five of seven targets for 56 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Worthy brought in five of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

Worthy secured three of six targets for 18 yards in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn implied that Okonkwo (hamstring) will be a non-participant for Wednesday's practice, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Okonkwo (hamstring) won't play Sunday at Dallas, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Okonkwo (hamstring) is officially listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
