Cook (ankle), Dugger (quad), Bozeman (groin), Young (knee), and Hill (Achilles) are all injury inactives for the Bengals. An improved defense will be without a pair of safeties and depth in the front seven will be tested against the Jaguars.04 October 2026
The Texans are at near full strength and welcome back wide receiver Nico Collins, who was removed from the team’s injury report on Friday. Collins’ return comes at a time where Houston is seeking its first win of the season.04 October 2026
This is the second-straight week that Singletary has been made a healthy scratch for the Giants. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy will serve as the backups to Cam Skattebo. It’s also worth noting that QB J.J. McCarthy, who was acquired from the Vikings earlier this week, is active for Week 4.04 October 2026
Per head coach Dan Quinn, Mariota re-injured the MCL in his right knee. He initially suffered the MCL injury during the preseason. The fact that he suffered a setback almost two months after the initial injury suggests this could be a long-term absence. It will be seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis for the rest of this game. The hope is that Jayden Daniels will be back for Week 5.

Omenihu signed a one-year deal with the Commanders as a rotational EDGE in the offseason. He had six pressures and five hurries heading into today’s game.04 October 2026
Schefter named Khalil Mack as another pass-rusher who could be on the move for similar reasons. Both players are productive veteran EDGE defenders on teams struggling to win games right now. Mack will be a free agent next offseason, making him an easy trade target. Sweat is under contract through 2028 but made it clear this offseason that he was unhappy in Arizona.04 October 2026
Johnson missing Week 4 would be a truly calamitous outcome for Philly. They are already without DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, both of whom were ruled out on Saturday. Losing their starting right tackle would be another blow the struggling offense didn’t need. Rookie Markel Bell will be the next man up if Johnson is ruled out.04 October 2026
Schefter noted that the Cardinals aren’t “enthralled” with the idea of trading Harrison Jr. He also said point-blank that “it would not be a surprise” for MHJ to be traded. As much as the Cardinals may not want to admit it, this experiment needs to come to an end. The team has Michael Wilson and Trey McBride locked up on long-term contracts and MHJ has done nothing this year. He has four catches for 73 scoreless yards this year. At this point, it’s likely in the best interest of bot ...04 October 2026
With Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion earning large roles right away, Jeudy has all but vanished from the box scores. He went two games without catching a single pass before bringing down three balls for 36 yards on Thursday night. Jeudy got pushed out of the Browns’ long-term plans on draft night and isn’t even part of the week-to-week game plan at this point.04 October 2026
Schefter didn’t cite any sources telling him that Pollard could be on the move, but he did connect a few key dots. Pollard is in the final year of his contract and the Titans are going nowhere fast. If they don’t plan on re-signing him next offseason, they might as well get something in return for him in the middle of another lost season. His departure would also clear the way for rookie Nick Singleton to see more work.04 October 2026
Garfolo made it clear that this is what the team hopes will happen, but it’s far from a sure thing. Week 6 is the first week Brown is eligible to return from injured reserve. The Pats placed him on IR after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. Previous reports had Brown out for 6-8 weeks, so fantasy managers should be skeptical that he will be back for Week 6, but it’s at least on the table.04 October 2026
The Eagles demoted Andy Dalton after his end zone interception in Week 3. He took over for Jalen Hurts while the latter was being evaluated for an injury and immediately gave the ball away in scoring position. McKee has two career starts since being drafted in 2023.04 October 2026
Colts EDGE Laiatu Latu landed on Mariota’s right ankle while taking him down for a sack in the first quarter. Mariota was slow to get up and immediately made his way to the blue tent. He walked to the locker room after a brief stay in the tent. Seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis is under center for the Commanders.04 October 2026
Smith has already been ruled out for Week 4. The Eagles take on the Jags in London next week. It sounds like fantasy managers should be prepared to be without their start receiver for that contest as well. Dontayvion Wicks currently profiles as the team’s top wideout, but it’s hard to imagine the team not getting first-round rookie Makai Lemon more involved as well. Both players are solid FLEX options for Week 4.04 October 2026
Spears played through the ankle issue last week and there was no indication during this week’s practice that he suffered any sort of setback. He is good to go for Week 4, though fantasy managers can’t count on him for much. He touched the ball just three times last week.04 October 2026
Clowney hasn’t played since injuring his knee in Week 1. Though he isn’t expected to be a major factor in the Texans’ plans, Houston’s defense hasn’t been the shutdown unit that it was last year. They currently rank as a below-average team in EPA per play allowed. Clowney won’t change their fortunes overnight, but he will hopefully help them make incremental improvements.04 October 2026
The 49ers are already banged up on defense with Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams ruled out on Friday. Greenlaw was listed as questionable after getting in a single limited practice. He has 22 combined tackles, 11 defensive stops, and one pressure this year.04 October 2026
The Panthers entered the season down both of their starting tackles. They will also be without left guard Damien Lewis this week. Getting Freeling back is a big win for Bryce Young and the offense. Freeling has struggled in pass protection so far but is serviceable in the run game.04 October 2026
Jones injured his knee and was considered “week to week” going forward. The good news is that this means it won’t be season-ending IR, but the Bears will be without their starting left tackle for at least four games. Theo Benedet will start in his place this week. Now healthy, Ozzy Trapilo could take over that job in the coming weeks as well.04 October 2026
Rapoport did note that the Lions could make another push to sign LaPorta later this year, so the door isn’t entirely closed. LaPorta is set to become a free agent next offseason. The team could, however, place the franchise tag on him. He has gotten off to a quiet start with 14 catches for 144 yards and one score. LaPorta is currently on pace for a career-low in yards per game. He would still have plenty of suitors in free agency, even if the counting stats don’t improve this year.
