Updates/analysis (most recent first)

Janoris Jenkins (9:25 a.m.): The Giants said that the cornerback "looked good" in Saturday's walkthrough and should be able to play today, batting any unforeseen setbacks. That could put a bit of a damper on Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia passing game's ability to have a huge day, though if he does sit, the Eagles aerial attack could shine.

T.J. Yeldon (8:05 a.m.): It's not looking good for Yeldon's 2017 season as, for the third week in a row, he is a healthy inactive for the Jaguars. Leonard Fournette's arrival seems to have impacted the third-year back more than most likely thought. His fantasy value is non-existent.

Sam Bradford (7:45 a.m.): While the Vikings quarterback will be out for Week 3, the good news is that a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews confirmed that there is nothing structurally wrong with his knee. He may well be back in a few weeks, so don't go cutting any Minnesota wideouts just yet, even if you have to endure some Case Keenum-generated stats for a bit.

Adam Schefter's overnight update (7:40 a.m.): The ESPN NFL Insider always scours his sources while the rest of us are sleeping. He has reported that Bennie Fowler III and Garrett Bolles are both expected to play on Sunday, as are Jordy Nelson and Melvin Gordon. DeMarco Murray is "more than likely" to suit up, though that may mean limited action is ahead - start with caution. Neither Rob Kelley nor Jordan Reed are looking good for Sunday night's affair.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.
