Washington Commanders fell 27-18 to Green Bay as Packers’ defense overwhelmed Washington’s offense, while injury chaos at Lambeau Field strained a shallow depth chart. Deatrich Wise Jr. left in the second quarter with a leg injury that could end his season, a crippling blow to Washington’s edge-rushing and run defense. Austin Ekeler also suffered a non-contact calf/Achilles concern late, with Schefter reporting an Achilles tear as a real possibility. John Bates left with a groin injury; Noah Brown re-aggravated a knee/groin issue; Trey Amos exited with a shoulder issue, and Brandon Coleman also left with a shoulder injury before returning. The Patriots-like depth test for Washington will shape fantasy play moving forward, while Green Bay’s defense capped the night with pressure and disciplined coverage.

Packers’ defensive performance and the Commanders’ injury toll set the tone for the coming weeks, pushing fantasy managers to monitor Week 3 availability and potential replacements on both sides. Washington’s roster flexibility will be tested as they try to stabilize their defense and passing game, while Green Bay capitalized on the disruption with a disciplined, stout effort that solidified their position in a crowded NFC race.

Atlanta locked in its 2025 roster and filled 17 practice squad spots with a mix of camp signings and a trade. Ronnie Perkins joined the Falcons’ practice squad, Simeon Barrow was added on the interior line, and Brandon Parker was released to clear space. Michael Jerrell arrived from Seattle, while Ryan Hayes and Carter Warren joined the practice squad after waivers; Lenny Krieg remains via IPP.

The moves bolster depth on both lines and reflect a roster-building approach designed to weather injuries and support special teams. Perkins and Barrow bring edge pressure and interior rush, while Jerrell, Hayes, and Warren provide versatile blocking depth behind the starters.

Falcons finalize a 17-man practice squad led by Easton Stick, a steadying presence as the third quarterback who can manage short-to-intermediate throws in a pinch. The group also stacks versatile depth on the line, at tackle, and in the edge/secondary, with several undrafted contributors and a few developmental projects ready to be called up for special-teams roles or injury relief.

Notable names include Carlos Washington, Chris Blair, Dylan Drummond, Nick Nash, Joshua Simon, and Carter Warren, plus veteran-insurance options at tackle and a handful of pass-rush and coverage pieces like Kentavius Street and Ronnie Perkins. Lenny Krieg provides an IPP kicker path, giving Atlanta a long-term kicking contingency while the squad stays flexible for the season.

Nick Nash headlines Atlanta's final preseason audition, catching six passes for 87 yards to reinforce his roster case while Chris Blair, Casey Washington, David Sills and Dylan Drummond all contribute in the Falcons’ receiver shuffle.

Feleipe Franks flashes at tight end with a leaping TD, Easton Stick steadies the third unit at quarterback, and Younghoe Koo appears to have secured kick duties after a 2-for-3 night. Offensive line concerns linger with Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton sidelined, Jack Nelson stepping in at right tackle, and questions about the RT position if McGary misses time.

On the other side, Dallas’ Joe Milton III leads the Cowboys with both a passing TD and a rushing score, while Elijah Dotson rumbles for 74 yards in Atlanta’s ground game. Atlanta must trim to 53 by Tuesday; roster battles at WR and OL dominate the chatter as the Falcons weigh depth options and potential free-agent fits.

The Cincinnati Bengals are on a rebound trajectory, aiming to capitalize on last season's close calls, where they lost seven one-score games despite stellar performances from quarterback Joe Burrow, wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. With Higgins returning from injury, the trio’s chemistry could lead to a more balanced offensive attack, potentially securing a playoff spot.

Similarly, the Dallas Cowboys seek redemption after a disappointing season marred by injuries. Dak Prescott's return to health and the acquisition of George Pickens, a promising receiver from Pittsburgh, aims to revitalize their passing game alongside CeeDee Lamb. If the defense can bounce back, the Cowboys could contend for the postseason.
