NFL Week 3 Injury Report, Inactives: QBs Jayden Daniels, Brock Purdy Out
Week 3 of the NFL season is underway, and there are some key players dealing with injuries.
Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out for Week 3 with a knee injury. The Packers are dealing with injuries to two key offensive weapons in Josh Jacobs and Tucker Kraft.

It's possible his wrist injury is impacting his production, so we'll see how he manages it in Week 3.
WR Emeka Egbuka ( Buccaneers )
Practice schedule: DNP-DNP-LP
Injury: Hip, Groin
Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET

The Buccaneers played on Monday night in Week 2, so it wasn't out of the ordinary that one of their high-volume players missed Wednesday's practice. The lack of practice activity to close out the week, however, is alarming. He will carry a questionable tag into Sunday's game against the Jets, according to head coach Todd Bowles, who said "we'll see on Sunday morning" when referring to Egbuka's game status, making him a true game-time decision.
