Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that RB Najee Harris won't have any limitations in practice this week. Harris' arm was in a sling following the Week 3 win over the Chargers, but he'll be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Harris might play a bigger role than usual because RB Jaylen Warren's availability for that one is in question, according to Tomlin. Warren was scheduled for an MRI on an injured knee, but we still haven't heard the results. Fantasy owners should not be planning on using him in Week 4 lineups.
Bills WR Keon Coleman did not play in the first quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jaguars. HC Sean McDermott said afterward that "it was an issue with being on time."
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was pulled late in Monday’s blowout loss to Buffalo. Before departing, Lawrence managed just 178 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT on a 55.2% completion rate.
Bills RB James Cook scored for the second straight week in a blowout win over Jacksonville. He's now totaled 4 TDs on the season.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow was 29 of 38 for 324 yards and three TDs in the loss to the Commanders while targeting WR Ja'Marr Chase seven times. Chase had six catches for 119 yards and two TDs. Tee Higgins was targeted six times, including a near TD grab, but only ended with three catches for 39 yards.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ended the game completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two TDs. He also added 39 yards and a TD on the ground.
Commanders RB Austin Ekeler sustained a concussion in Monday night's win over the Bengals. It's his third documented concussion. Ekeler now only has six days to get cleared before Week 4's meeting with the Cardinals. Consider him unlikely to play in that one. Ekeler's absence would likely mean an expanded role, particularly in the passing game, for RB Brian Robinson.
Niners HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that DT Javon Hargrave is expected to need surgery for a triceps tear and miss the rest of the season.
Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby revealed after Sunday's loss to the Panthers that he's playing through a significant ankle injury. He was officially questionable for the game but expected to play -- and did.
The Raiders are sticking with QB Gardner Minshew as their starter, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Minshew was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers after producing just 15 points against a defense that had struggled mightily over the first two weeks. We'll see if Minshew can survive a much tougher Week 4 matchup against the Browns. He's not even a recommended QB2 starter for that one -- and we still expect to see QB Aidan O'Connell at some point this season.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he's hoping to get TE George Kittle (hamstring) back at practice this week. That suggests that Kittle has a chance to play against the Patriots on Sunday. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is seeing a specialist in Germany about his lingering Achilles tendinitis, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. "Those treatments likely involve therapies designed to increase blood flow — and thus the healing process — in his sore Achilles," The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes.
Lions S Brian Branch left Sunday's win over the Cardinals after a head-to-head collision with TE Trey McBride. HC Dan Campbell said Monday that Branch is in the concussion protocol and considered day-to-day. We'll see about his chances of returning for next Monday night's home date with Seattle. That timing could make it tough to wait for Branch in IDP lineups. Make sure you secure an insurance option this week.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen is expected to miss "some time" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "An exact timetable is currently unclear, but he will be out a little," Schultz adds.
Rams HC Sean McVay confirmed on Monday that WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) will not play vs. the Bears this weekend. Kupp has not been placed on IR, but we're unlikely to see him before the Rams return from their Week 6 bye.
49ers QB Brock Purdy is "day-to-day" with back soreness, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Purdy had an MRI that came back clean, per Shahanan, and the team is hopeful that he'll be able to practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like this is something that'll impact Purdy's Week 4 outlook, but we'll keep an eye on him this week.
Cardinals HC Jonthan Gannon told reporters Monday afternoon that TE Trey McBride is in the concussion protocol. McBride went in for evaluation during Sunday's game against the Lions, but there was no report of the injury being confirmed. If McBride misses the Week 4 home date with Washington, then Elijah Higgins and rookie Tip Reiman would be next up at the position. WRs Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch would potentially benefit from target-share boosts as well.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, although HC Doug Pederson never sounded worried about Bigsby's availability for this one. We have him projected to play close to his normal role.
Steelers RB Najee Harris' right arm was in a sling on Monday, while RB Jaylen Warren is scheduled for an MRI on his knee, according to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh. We should get updates on both guys within the next 24 hours. Cordarrelle Patterson is the top healthy RB in Pittsburgh right now and could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues. Pittsburgh has RBs Jonathan Ward and Aaron Shampklin on the practice squad. Week 4 brings a plus matchup against the Colts.
Raiders HC Antonio Pierce didn't rule out a QB change at his Monday press conference, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. QB Gardner Minshew was yanked from Sunday's loss to the Panthers after throwing a bad INT in the fourth quarter. He finished 18 of 28 (64%) for 214 yards (7.6 YPA) with one TD and one INT. QB Aidan O'Connell played the final drive of the game, completing nine of 12 passes (75%) for 82 yards (6.8 YPA) and a score -- against Carolina's prevent defense.
