Seahawks Putting Phillip Dorsett II On Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks are placing wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, according to a source.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (back) is expected to miss the Week 3 game against the Giants, and there's no clear timetable for his return, according to sources.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (rib) is being listed as day-to-day after separating rib cartilage in the Week 2 win over the Eagles.

Solomon Thomas Suffers Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Solomon Thomas (knee) was confirmed to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 2 win over the Jets.

Royce Freeman Very Quiet Against Steelers

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman attempted just three rushes for 20 yards in the Week 2 loss to the Steelers with Phillip Lindsay (toe) inactive.

Washington Football Team Pro Bowl offensive guard Brandon Scherff (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 2 loss to the Cardinals that will keep him out for three to five weeks, according to a source.
