Los Angeles Chargers
- DE Joey Bosa went down with a groin injury and was ruled out immediately against the Jaguars.

Miami Dolphins
- QB Tua Tagovailoa showed some serious guys in Miami’s upset victory over the Buffalo Bills. After exiting the game with a back injury, he made his way back onto the field and led the Dolphins to fourth quarter win.
- T Greg Little suffered a finger injury and was unable to return to game action.
Minnesota Vikings
- RB Dalvin Cook exited the game in the fourth quarter with a shoulder injury. The injury appears to be somewhat serious considering Cook dislocated his shoulder, according to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero. Cook has an unrepaired labral tear and was not wearing a harness, but the hope is that he can wear one and play next Sunday against the Saints, per Pelissero. If Cook is unable to suit up in Week 4, Alexander Mattison immediately becomes a must-start.
New England Patriots
- QB Mac Jones left late in the Patriots’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport stated that Jones’ X-Rays were negative but that he will continue to be monitored as New England heads into Week 4.
- DL Lawrence Guy was ruled out with a shoulder injury and unable to return.
- DB Jalen Mills also left the game with a hamstring injury.
New Orleans Saints
- OL Andrus Peat was forced into concussion protocol against the Carolina Panthers. This made it incredibly difficult for Jameis Winston to have any time in the pocket.
- WR Jarvis Landry left with an ankle injury.
- WR Michael Thomas also left and was unable to return with a foot injury. This left Chris Olave as Winston’s go-to target and it showed. Olave finished Week 3 with nine receptions for 147 yards. Olave could develop into the WR1 on this offense.
New York Jets
- WR Garrett Wilson exited with a ribs injury but returned against the Bengals and had a serviceable outing in PPR formats. Still, the Jets lost pretty handily to Cincinnati.
- OT George Fant exited the game early with a knee injury.
- LB Quincy Williams was carted off the field with an ankle injury of his own. He could be looking at a very long-term absence.
Seattle Seahawks
- RB Travis Homer is questionable to return against Atlanta.
