Updates/analysis (most recent first)
Leonard Fournette (8:55 a.m.): It’s looking like the Jaguars will play things safe with the running back and not allow him to play in Week 3. T.J. Yeldon, who is also listed as questionable on the team’s injury report, is expected to suit up and start.
Adam Schefter‘s overnight update (7:20 a.m.): Various sources tell Schefter that Antonio Gates, Larry Fitzgerald and Cole Beasley will all be able to play on Sunday. LeSean McCoy and Alshon Jeffery are not expected to suit up for their clubs. He also reports that Blaine Gabbert should start at quarterback for the Titans, with Marcus Mariota still not certain of his grip. While he notes that Darius Slay has cleared concussion protocol, no final decision on his availability for Sunday night’s contest has been made.
Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games and 2:30 p.m. ET for the late games.
