Here's everything you need to know injury-wise for Week 3 of the NFL season.
Week 3 is underway, and we're tracking all the injuries heading into the weekend.Jump to a team:AFC East: Bills | Dolphins | Patriots | JetsAFC North: Ravens | Bengals | Browns | SteelersAFC South: Texans | Colts | Jaguars | TitansAFC West: Broncos | Chiefs | Raiders | ChargersNFC East: Cowboys | Giants | Eagles | CommandersNFC North: Bears | Lions | Packers (played Thurs.) | VikingsNFC South: Falcons (played Thurs.) | Panthers | Saints | BuccaneersNFC West: Cardinals | Rams | 49ers | SeahawksLive injury updatesThe Seattle Seahawks will have their No. 1 quarterback on Sunday when they take on the Washington Commanders. Sam Darnold, who suffered a glute injury during the opening game of the season, was back at practice on Thursday as a full participant, and was off the injury report on Friday.In Darnold's absence, Drew Lock threw for 187 yards and a touchdown during Seattle's Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. He followed that up during last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals with 235 passing yards and three touchdowns.Head coach Mike Macdonald had said Darnold is "on a good track right now" to play in Week 3; on Friday, he said that Darnold is "ready to go."Caleb Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out and Tyson Bagent (concussion) is questionable to play Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams left Week 2 with the injury and is considered week-to-week. Bagent practiced on Saturday, but remains in concussion protocol as part of the process. Case Keenum will either start or serve as Bagent's backup.Other Week 3 injuries to monitor:The Washington Commanders and Jayden Daniels got good news with the quarterback not requiring surgery on his injured elbow. General manager Adam Peters said Friday that an operation is "not on the table" and that they have not talked about placing Daniels on injured reserve, which would rule him out for at least four weeks.Nico Collins has been ruled out by the Houston Texans as he deals with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Like Collins, Zay Flowers of the Baltimore Ravens also missed Week 2 and remained out of practice this week. He is listed as questionable for their game in Brazil.Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua sat out Friday's practice and is doubtful for Sunday night. Head coach Sean McVay said this week Nacua was "not making great progress" with the hip/groin issue that kept him out of Week 2. McVay added they expect Nacua to be ready to return next week.After being ruled out for the season with a knee injury, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart underwent surgery on Friday to repair his meniscus. According to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, Dart also suffered damage to his MCL and PCL, which will be addressed if needed. He is looking at a four-to-six month recovery period.Here's the rest of the Week 3 injury report:ARIZONA CARDINALSS Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (back): OUTDL Roy Lopez (groin): questionableCB Max Melton (toe): questionableBALTIMORE RAVENST Ronnie Stanley (toe): OUTWR Zay Flowers (hamstring): questionableBUFFALO BILLSDB Jordan Hancock (hamstring): OUTDL T.J.
