Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines carried nine times for 34 yards and caught six of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 28-16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried 17 times for 56 yards and caught six of seven targets to add 60 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks.

Updating an earlier report, Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) sustained a high ankle sprain during the Week 1 matchup against the New York Giants.

Jason Verrett Feared To Have Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he thinks cornerback Jason Verrett (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions.
