Pelissero reported that Murray has cleared concussion protocol and is set to return to the starting lineup against Tampa Bay.
Murray is back in play for Week 3 lineups. Monitor the final inactive list, but the reported clearance removes the concussion designation as the current obstacle.
Bowers missed another practice Thursday and has not returned to the field since last week's knee procedure. That leaves his Week 2 availability materially uncertain.
Prepare a viable tight-end replacement now and wait for the Raiders' final designation before committing Bowers to a lineup.
McConkey remained out of practice Thursday with a rib injury, and the report raised doubt about his Week 2 availability. The Chargers' final injury report remains the official decision point.
Treat McConkey as a high-risk Week 2 start and set a receiver contingency before the final designation.
Murray logged another limited practice while working through concussion protocol. On-field work is a positive step, but he must still receive clearance before his Week 2 availability is settled.
Keep a quarterback backup ready and do not assume Murray is available until clearance and game status are confirmed.
Burrow again logged a limited practice while managing a back injury. Consecutive limited sessions keep his Week 2 status in focus but are not a final designation.
Monitor Cincinnati's final injury report and retain a quarterback alternative until Burrow's status is settled.
Collins did not practice one day after suffering a hamstring injury. The missed session adds urgency to his Week 2 status, though Houston has not issued a final game designation.
Plan for a receiver contingency and monitor Houston's final injury report before Sunday lineup lock.
Henderson is reportedly on track to return against Pittsburgh after missing New England's opener with an ankle injury. The report is a meaningful positive availability signal ahead of the Patriots' final game-status confirmation.
Move Henderson back into the Week 2 consideration pool, while confirming his official active status Sunday.
Olave was newly listed as limited with a hamstring issue. Thursday's entry puts his Week 2 availability on the watch list, though no final designation has been issued.
Keep an alternate receiver available and revisit Olave after the Saints' final practice report.
Nabers was active after carrying a questionable tag for a knee injury. Activation confirms his availability but does not establish an unrestricted workload.
Nabers is available for lineups, but managers should watch his role and any postgame comments before treating the activation as proof of a full workload.
Rapoport reported Egbuka is good to go with a toe issue, while McMillan and Tucker are doubtful because of knee and hamstring injuries, respectively.
Egbuka can be treated as available for the opener. McMillan and Tucker should remain out of starting lineups unless their final game statuses improve.
Kittle is off San Francisco's injury report with no game designation after working back from an Achilles injury. The clearance is stronger than Wednesday's limited-practice signal.
Kittle can be activated for Week 1. His return from an Achilles injury still makes in-game workload worth monitoring, but the final designation no longer signals an absence risk.
Kamara was limited Wednesday, and Kellen Moore did not make a definitive Week 1 availability call. The practice status is a constructive sign, but it leaves a meaningful need to monitor the Saints' remaining reports.
Keep Kamara active only with a contingency plan until his final Week 1 designation is clear.
Odunze was limited Wednesday with a leg issue. The participation level represents progress from his earlier absence, but it leaves his final Week 1 availability and workload unresolved.
Keep Odunze's Week 1 plan flexible until Chicago's final injury designation is available.
