DeMarco Murray was dealing with a tight hamstring during the second half of the Titans' Week 2 win over the Jaguars.
It helps explain why Derrick Henry dominated work in the second half. While the hamstring is a concern for Murray moving forward, he also now has to worry about losing work to Henry, who rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries against Jacksonville.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Rob Gronkowski's groin injury is "not believed to be serious."
It did not seem to be as Gronk rode a stationary bike on the sideline instead of heading to the locker room after being evaluated, but it is still good to hear. For what it is worth, Gronkowski said he was "good" after the game. He still should be considered questionable for this week's matchup with the Texans, but it does not sound like this is a multi-week issue.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Greg Olsen's broken right foot is not a season-ending injury.
RapSheet puts the timeline at "around" six games, but he admits injured reserve is a possibility as well. That would cost Olsen at least eight weeks.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Vikings believe Sam Bradford (knee) will play Week 3 against the Bucs.
"The ACL is fine, the other ligaments are fine," Rapoport said. "This really was just a swelling and discomfort issue from taking a shot to his knee last week." RapSheet does caution the Vikings "really don't know" how Bradford's knee will respond to treatment, so it is possible their opinion changes later in the week.
