NFL Week 3 injury updates, inactives: Packers' Jordan Love inactive; Justin Herbert active for Chargers

NFL Week 3 is here, and all 32 NFL teams are dealing with injuries. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love will not make his return to the field this week after warming up on Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers will be without several stars against the Minnesota Vikings, including running back Christian McCaffrey, wide receiver Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle.

Justin Herbert (high ankle sprain) warmed up and is going to give it a go for the Chargers in Pittsburgh. Brian Burns (groin) is active for the New York Giants. Steelers QB Russell Wilson was inactive for the third straight week, so Justin Fields will be under center for Pittsburgh again Sunday.

Keep it locked here for the full list of inactives in our live blog below!

Rams inactives

The Rams are another team with crucial injuries early this season. Puka Nacua is on IR, wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) and tight end Davis Allen (back) are out, so L.A.'s offense will be without some key players. 

Jimmy Garoppolo served his two-game suspension and is the backup this week. 

  • WR Cooper Kupp
  • QB Stetson Bennett
  • RB Cody Schrader
  • OLB Brennan Jackson

49ers inactives

The 49ers are dealing with many significant injuries. Christian McCaffrey was placed on IR so he will once again be out. Two of their other offensive stars, wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) are also out. 

The good news for the Niners is they will have cornerback Charvarius Ward (hamstring/knee) and defensive end DE Nick Bosa (rib) available against the Rams.
