The New York Jets kicked off Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season with a 24-3 win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
As we enter Week 3, there are still nine teams without a win, including the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, and nine undefeated teams. Will that change after this weekend? Some notable injuries around the league could play a factor.
Will Jordan Love make his return in Week 3?
The Green Bay Packers quarterback was back at practice on Wednesday nearly two weeks after he suffered an MCL sprain in Green Bay’s season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

LaFleur noted on Friday that Love will be listed as questionable for Sunday.
Sean Clifford has been elevated from the practice squad and will once again back up Malik Willis should Love not able to go.

Cornerback Charvarius Ward also didn’t practice due to hamstring and knee issues and was listed on San Francisco’s injury report. Ward hasn’t missed a game since joining the 49ers in 2023.
Texans RB Joe Mixon out vs. Vikings
Houston running back Joe Mixon is out for Sunday’s game against 2-0 Minnesota after suffering an ankle injury in Week 2 against Chicago on a play he called a hip-drop tackle that should’ve penalized. Mixon did not practice this week, according to ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime.
On Saturday, the NFL announced that Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was fined $16,883 for the hip-drop tackle on Mixon.
