9:35 p.m.: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson limped off the field during the first half of Sunday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
4:44 p.m.: The Baltimore Ravens suffer a devastating blow to their offensive line.

1:17 p.m.: We have our first injury of the day, but it doesn’t appear to be serious.
11:53 a.m.: Jordan Howard officially is active. Here some other notable names on the 1 p.m. game injury reports, courtesy of ESPN’s Field Yates:
11:50 a.m.: Whoa. Sam Bradford indeed is inactive, meaning Case Keenum will start for Minnesota on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
10:26 a.m.: Another concerning update on the Minnesota Vikings’ starting quarterback. Case Keenum is Minnesota’s backup if Bradford can’t go.
10:20 a.m.: Don’t expect Sam Bradford to be busting free for many long runs today …
9:27 a.m.: As expected, Kerwynn Williams will assume the Arizona Cardinals’ lead back duties in the absence of David Johnson.
9:25 a.m.: Sam Bradford should play Sunday, but that certainly doesn’t mean he’s 100 percent, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
9 a.m.: Good news, fantasy owners: Jordan Howard, Sam Bradford and Jarvis Landry all are expected to play, according to various reports.
These injuries (especially Howard’s) still are worth monitoring, but that’s a good early sign.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams also should be good to go, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
