    New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons

    Saints: Kamara returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant. He’s officially listed as questionable for Week 4. If Kamara doesn’t play, Jamaal Williams and TE Taysom Hill — who returned to practice after missing Week 3 with a chest injury — will likely handle the bulk of New Orleans backfield snaps.

    Olave suffered a hamstring injury during Friday’s practice, according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans.Football. The Saints consider Olave day to day, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    New Orleans’ offensive line could be in trouble. Center Erik McCoy (groin) is on injured reserve, while Ruiz didn’t practice this week and won’t play on Sunday.

    Falcons: RB Bijan Robinson was a surprise addition to the injury report on Thursday. He was a limited participant because of his shoulder. However, Robinson fully practiced on Friday and won’t carry an injury designation into Week 4.

    McGary is believed to be dealing with an MCL injury but said “nothing super, super bad showed up” on his MRI. Still, Atlanta’s starting right tackle won’t play on Sunday. The Falcons also placed starting center Drew Dalman (ankle) on IR this week.

    Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears

    Rams: Kupp is no longer wearing a cast for his ankle injury and was working along the sidelines with Los Angeles’ strength staff during Wednesday’s walkthrough session, per The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue. However, Kupp never practiced this week and won’t play on Sunday.

    Bears: Allen never practiced last week and didn’t play in Week 2 despite garnering a questionable tag. He followed the same trend heading into Week 3 but was declared out heading into Chicago’s game against Indianapolis.

    Fortunately, Allen was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday before fully practicing on Friday. Barring a setback, the veteran pass catcher is trending toward playing in Week 4. Fellow WR Rome Odunze has no injury designation after dealing with a mid-week hip issue.

    Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers

    Vikings: WR Jordan Addison practiced this week and will return on Sunday after missing the past two weeks with an ankle injury.

    Packers: Love said he was “close” to facing the Titans in Week 3. “We’re building it up for sure,” Green Bay’s QB said Wednesday. “Every day is a little bit better.”

    Love was limited in practice this week and is questionable for Sunday’s game. If Love can’t play, Malik Willis — 2-0 as the Packers’ starter — will face the Vikings.

    WR Jayden Reed (calf/quad) was limited earlier in the week but doesn’t have an injury designation for Sunday.

    Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts

    Steelers: RB Najee Harris had a sling on his right arm on Monday but is expected to play in Week 4. After not practicing on Wednesday because of a planned rest day, Harris returned as a full participant on Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday’s game.

    The same can’t be said for Warren, who never practiced this week. He’s considered week-to-week after suffering a knee injury in Week 3. Cordarrelle Paterson will back up Harris against the Colts.

    Highsmith is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks after aggravating the groin injury that hampered him during training camp. Nick Herbig, a 2023 fourth-round pick, will pick up more pass-rushing snaps opposite T.J. Watt.

    Colts: Smith should start at right tackle after fully practicing this week, but Kelly didn’t participate and is at risk of sitting out. Indy would likely start veteran Danny Pinter or fourth-round rookie Tanor Bortolini at center if Kelly doesn’t play.

    The Colts already have EDGE Samson Ebukam and CB JuJu Brents on IR. Now, they’ll be without another pass rusher (Paye) and their best corner (Moore) on Sunday.

    Denver Broncos at New York Jets

    Broncos: No notable injuries.

    Jets: Moses won’t go on injured reserve, but head coach Robert Saleh confirmed New York’s starting right tackle will miss a couple of games. First-round rookie Olu Fashanu is poised to take over at RT.

    Mosley never practiced this week and appears unlikely to play in Week 3. He may have ceded his starting LB job to Jamien Sherwood.

    Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    Eagles: Brown has missed two games and didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was spotted at Friday’s session with his helmet in hand. Participating in today’s practice should at least give him a chance of suiting up on Sunday. Brown is officially questionable for Week 4.

    The same can’t be said for Smith, who never practiced this week. He didn’t clear the NFL’s concussion protocol in time to play against the Bucs.

    Meanwhile, Johnson also suffered a brain injury in Week 3 but returned to practice on Friday and is questionable for Sunday. Fred Johnson will handle right tackle if Lane Johnson can’t play.

    Buccaneers: Irving sat out of Thursday’s practice after being a limited participant on Wednesday. Still, the fourth-round rookie told reporters he’ll be ready to play on Sunday. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles recently indicated Irving had earned more opportunities alongside starting RB Rachaad White.

    McMillan injured his hamstring on Friday and is now doubtful for Week 4. Trey Palmer is next in line for WR3 snaps behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

    Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers

    Bengals: WR Ja’Marr Chase practiced in full on Thursday and Friday after being a limited participant on Wednesday, telling reporters that his shoulder feels great.

    Panthers: Johnson popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a groin injury. Although he sat out of practice, Johnson told reporters he will be ready to play on Sunday. He put in a limited practice on Friday, while head coach Dave Canales remained optimistic that Johnson will play after posting a career-high 122 yards in Week 3.

    The Panthers also sent WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) to IR this week. He’ll miss at least four games, but head coach Dave Canales said Thielen wouldn’t require surgery.

    Lewis has a tear in his elbow and is expected to miss at least one game. However, the Panthers’ starting left guard likely will not be placed on injured reserve. Chandler Zavala, a 2023 fourth-round pick, took over for Lewis in Week 3.

    Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

    Jaguars: Engram will miss his second straight game with a hamstring issue. Head coach Doug Pederson said Engram could return in Week 5. Backup TE Brenton Strange went 2-12-1 in his absence on Monday night.

    Oluokon doesn’t need surgery and won’t go on IR, but head coach Doug Pederson said the veteran LB would miss several weeks.

    Texans: Mixon returned to practice on Friday after missing Houston’s first two sessions. He has a chance to play against the Jags in Week 4 and is officially listed as questionable.

    Pierce still isn’t practicing. If neither Mixon nor Pierce plays on Sunday, Cam Akers will lead Houston’s backfield for the second consecutive week.

    Dell never practiced this week, either. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said in his postgame press conference that Dell “should be fine” after injuring his chest in Week 3, but the second-year WR will miss at least one game.

    Fellow WR Nico Collins was added to the injury report on Thursday with a hamstring injury. He was listed as a limited participant. Collins practiced again on Friday and said he was ready to play on Sunday. He doesn’t have an injury designation for Week 4.

    Washington Commanders at Arizona Cardinals

    Commanders: Head coach Dan Quinn ruled Ekeler out on Wednesday. The veteran RB must clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before turning to action.

    Jeremy McNichols, who posted one of the pass-blocking reps of the year on Jayden Daniels’ game-winning touchdown throw on Monday night, could see more snaps behind Brian Robinson Jr.

    Cardinals: Rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (quad) was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but won’t have an injury destination for Week 4. He played 88% of Arizona’s snaps in Week 3 while posting a 5-64-1 line.

    McBride, as expected, never practiced this week after suffering a concussion on Sunday. He didn’t pass the NFL’s concussion protocol in time to play in Week 4. Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman will see more tight end snaps with McBride out.

    New England Patriots at San Francisco 49ers

    Patriots: Sow is preparing to line up at left guard on Sunday for the first time since Week 1. He’ll probably play next to Wallace, who will likely start at left tackle if he’s able to suit up.

    49ers: Samuel had been expected to miss several weeks after straining his calf in Week 2, but he returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant. He practiced again on Friday and has a legitimate chance to play against the Patriots.

    TE George Kittle (hamstring) is not listed on San Francisco’s injury report and will suit up after missing Week 3.

    Cleveland Browns at Las Vegas Raiders

    Browns: Njoku returned to practice on Thursday after a limited participant, but he’s already been ruled out for Sunday’s game. He last played in Week 1 before suffering a high-ankle sprain.

    With Wills and Conklin out, Cleveland will again be starting backup tackles James Hudson III and Dawand Jones.

    Raiders: Adams was a surprise addition to the injury report on Thursday. He was a limited participant in practice with a hamstring injury, did not practice Friday, and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Head coach Antonio Pierce said he has no timetable for Adams’ return.

    Crosby was limited all last week before suiting up for Week 3. He never practiced this week while batting a high-ankle sprain and won’t suit up against Cleveland. With Adams and Crosby sidelined, the Raiders are down their two best players against Cleveland.

    Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers

    Chiefs: Danna was the only player on Kansas City’s roster who missed practice this week.

    Chargers: Herbert is no longer wearing a walking boot after aggravating his high-ankle sprain in Los Angeles’ Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Herbert had an MRI on Monday, which indicated the Bolts’ QB is “progressing.”

    Herbert was limited all week and is officially questionable for Sunday. Taylor Heickicke will start if Herbert can’t go.

    Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens (SNF)

    Bills: Bernard returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant for the first time since going down in Week 2, but head coach Sean McDermott ruled the third-year LB out on Friday. The same goes for Johnson, who hasn’t been available since Week 1.

    Ravens: Linderbaum was a full practice participant on Friday, suggesting he’ll be ready for Week 4. Neither Vorhees nor Armour-Davis practiced all week.

    Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins (MNF)

    Titans: Simmons hasn’t practiced this week, while Duncan and Hooker were limited on Friday.

    Tennessee placed starting CB Chidobe Awuzie (groin) on IR this week. Fifth-round rookie Jarvis Brownlee Jr. will replace Awuzie in the Titans’ lineup.

    Dolphins: Thompson has been limited to begin the week after injuring his ribs in his first 2024 start. Miami could turn to backup QB Tyler Huntley even if Thompson is healthy.

    Mostert participated in limited practice on Thursday and Friday due to a chest injury that has kept him sidelined since Week 1.

    Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (MNF)

    SeahawksWalker made his return to practice on Thursday as a limited participant for the first time since his Week 1 injury, an encouraging sign for his Week 4 availability. He was limited again on Friday.

    Mafe, Nwosu, Murphy, Williams, and Baker all missed Friday’s estimated practice.

    Lions: TE Sam LaPorta sat out of practice on Thursday after suffering an ankle injury last week but returned for a full session on Friday, suggesting he’ll be ready to suit up against Seattle on Monday night.

    Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Thursday that Ragnow will not play this week. Michael Niese is next up at center for Detroit.
