Texans, Vikings might be missing stars in matchup of 2-0 teams
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is willing to improvise whenever necessary. "(I like) to stay in the pocket and deliver throws - that's what I want to do," Stroud said. "But at the same time, I feel like I am elite at scrambling and I can do it. I've put it on film. ... I just try to make a play and have fun out there." Stroud and his teammates on Houston (2-0) might have to improvise part of their game plan when they visit the Minnesota Vikings (2-0) on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Texans could be without several injured players, including star running back Joe Mixon (ankle), star wide receiver Nico Collins (hip/foot), running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and center Juice Scruggs (groin), who were among those who did not practice on Wednesday. Backup tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday. Minnesota also is monitoring injuries to key contributors including star wideout Justin Jefferson, who left last week's game against the San Francisco 49ers because of a quadriceps injury and was limited on Wednesday. Starting running back Aaron Jones (hip) was also limited, while No. 2 receiver Jordan Addison is dealing with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the 49ers game and didn't practice. Starting outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (foot) was limited and his backup, Dallas Turner (knee), didn't practice. Starting linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. (quad) and starting center Garrett Bradbury (knee) were limited. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Jefferson took part in a walk-through to begin the week of practice and that he participated in limited drills. "Hoping to get him a little bit more work throughout the week as we progress forward," O'Connell said. "I know Justin is very much looking forward to getting an opportunity to play. So if we can avoid any setbacks or things like that throughout the week, you know, we're hoping to have him. But a long way to go until Sunday." Meanwhile, O'Connell said Addison "is still in that day-to-day world where we just have to see how he responds. ... Hopefully it progresses throughout the week." The Vikings will face a tough test against Houston, which is coming off back-to-back wins over the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears to start the season. The Texans have limited opponents to 20 points a game in 2024. One reason for the Texans' success on defense has been the addition of pass rusher Danielle Hunter, who signed with Houston after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Vikings. Hunter has 1 1/2 sacks in his first two games with the Texans. Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said Hunter would be extra motivated to go up against the Vikings in his old stadium this weekend. "Everybody is hyped up to play against their old team," Ryans said. "I speak from experience. (It happened) when I was with the Eagles and we came into Houston. It doesn't change." Texans running back Cam Akers also will go up against one of his former teams, although he was with the Vikings for far shorter time than Hunter. Akers could step into a more prominent role this weekend if Mixon is ruled out with an ankle injury. "I'm ready," Akers said. "You don't have to get ready when you stay ready. I've been preparing for this moment, and I'm ready for it. I'm ready to take advantage." As for the Vikings, quarterback Sam Darnold will try to maintain his impressive start to the season in his first year with the club. Darnold has posted a 111.7 passer rating while throwing for 476 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Stroud also has lifted his team to a perfect start through two weeks. He has a 104.7 passer rating to go along with 494 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Vikings are 5-0 all-time against the Texans. This is their first meeting since 2020. --Field Level Media

Panthers coach: Bryce Young isn't being shopped
Bryce Young is no longer Carolina's starting quarterback, but the Panthers aren't ready to send him packing. That was the message Wednesday from Carolina coach Dave Canales, who announced two days earlier that veteran Andy Dalton would start this week against the host Las Vegas Raiders. Young and Panthers (0-2) lost 26-3 to the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, leaving the second-year quarterback with just two wins in 18 NFL starts. Carolina selected the former Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft. Asked whether the Panthers are ready to deal Young to another team, Canales said, "That's not something we're really considering. We have a great situation with our quarterbacks right now with guys that have experience. We love where we are at, and it's all hands on deck." Canales praised Young's effort on Wednesday as the No. 2 quarterback. "Right back to work," the coach said. "He dove into the game plan. We had our conversations in the QB room, talking about reads, about what we see from the defense. He followed it up with a great day on the field, some fantastic throws. "He just got right back to work, which is exactly what I expected." The coach added regarding Young's future, "This is a developmental-minded program, so the development didn't stop (when he was removed from the starting role). Every rep he's out there, we're evaluating the whole thing, having conversations and continuing to push all of our guys, including Bryce, to take the next step." Young, 23, has completed 55.4 percent of his passes this year for 245 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions. Last year, he connected on 59.8 percent of his attempts for 2,877 yards, 11 touchdowns and 10 picks. Dalton, 36, spent nine seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals' starter and has since started games for the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints and Carolina. The three-time Pro Bowler has attempted just one pass this year, and it was incomplete. --Field Level Media

Packers hope Jordan Love can return to face Titans
The Green Bay Packers might get their starting quarterback back sooner than anticipated. Jordan Love, who injured his knee Sept. 6 during the team's season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil, practiced on Wednesday for the first time since the injury. He could return to the lineup Sunday when Green Bay travels to Nashville to meet the winless Tennessee Titans. However, if Love sits out again, it would set up a matchup of backup Malik Willis opposing the franchise that drafted him in the third round in 2022. Traded to the Packers last month, Willis engineered last week's 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts, hitting 12 of 14 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. Willis also flashed his mobility, rushing for 41 yards on six carries, and he finished with a 126.8 passer rating -- far above his career mark of 49.4 entering the game. "Things happened," Willis said of his new organization. "So I'm here now and grateful to coach (Matt LaFleur) and the GM and everybody who's a part of this." Willis played in 11 games across parts of two seasons for Tennessee, completing 35 of 66 passes for 350 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions. His time with the franchise was done from the moment coach Mike Vrabel made then-rookie Will Levis the starter last October. Levis showed more than enough down the stretch, even though the Titans missed the playoffs, to earn the No. 1 job for this year. Now with his new team, Willis might be the quarterback tasked with getting the Packers to 2-1. "I didn't wake up thinking I was going to be traded," he said after being dealt on Aug. 27. "So it definitely caught me by surprise. ... It's time to go." While Willis prepares in case he gets the start again, there is no question Levis is the guy in Tennessee. Still, first-year coach Brian Callahan wants to see Levis improve his decision-making, a problem area as the Titans started 0-2. After tossing a game-changing pick-six in Tennessee's season-opening loss at Chicago, Levis played better last week in the team's second straight 24-17 defeat, this time to the New York Jets. He was 19 of 28 for 192 yards with a touchdown but also mixed in two turnovers. One was an ill-advised lateral to Tony Pollard that turned a sack into a fumble that cost the Titans a chance to go up by two scores in the second quarter. The other was an interception that was cashed in for a tying touchdown just before halftime. "I'm really pleased with how he played for the most part," Callahan said of Levis. "I thought Will made a really nice improvement from Week 1 to Week 2." Look for Levis and Tennessee to get DeAndre Hopkins more involved in the passing game. Hopkins, a three-time All-Pro, caught a team-high 75 passes for 1,057 yards last year, his seventh 1,000-yard season, but has been limited to two grabs for 17 yards through this year's first two games. Tennessee had just one player miss the Wednesday practice due to an injury, running back Tyjae Spears (ankle). Green Bay was without four players on Wednesday: guard Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute), tackle Jordan Morgan (shoulder), wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf) and defensive back Carrington Valentine (ankle). The Titans own an 8-6 lead in the all-time series with Green Bay, including a 3-0 mark in Nashville. --Field Level Media
