New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski missed his second consecutive week with a hamstring injury, after he was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski's absence wasn't exactly unexpected, but there were a few surprises in the inactives for Week 2 -- including Pittsburgh wide receiver Markus Wheaton, who will miss the Steelers' home game against Cincinnati with a shoulder injury. It's the second straight missed game for Wheaton, who was listed as a full participant throughout the week.
Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles is out with a knee injury, but Miami running back Arian Foster (hamstring) and Carolina's Jonathan Stewart (ankle) were in their teams' respective lineups. Foster and Stewart both wound up leaving with injuries during those contests.
The Dolphins were again without center Mike Pouncey (hip). Defensive end Mario Williams, who was concussed in last week's loss at Seattle, was active for Miami.
Jacksonville running back Chris Ivory, who was hospitalized and missed the Jags' opener last week, was again inactive for Sunday's game at San Diego.
