NFL teams released their inactive lists ahead of Week 3 games, providing clarity — and in some cases continued uncertainty — around the availability of several notable players.
Quarterback Caleb Williams has been ruled out for his team's Week 3 matchup, a development that will shape both the game plan and roster decisions for fantasy football managers. Meanwhile, wide receiver Puka Nacua's status remains uncertain heading into kickoff, leaving his participation in question until closer to game time.
On the other side of the ledger, quarterback Sam Darnold has been confirmed as active and expected to play, offering reassurance to those tracking his team's plans for the week.
Inactive lists, finalized roughly 90 minutes before kickoff, are closely watched by fantasy football players and bettors alike, since a late scratch can significantly alter a team's offensive or defensive approach for the game.
Further updates and analysis on inactives across the league are expected as more official announcements roll in throughout the day.
