Pittsburgh Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns after being limited in practice. Ramsey confirmed he is playing through a broken wrist and was seen wearing a cast. His potential absence creates significant depth issues for a Steelers secondary already missing starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Baltimore Ravens starting left tackle Ronnie Stanley returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant after missing Sunday's win over Dallas with a toe injury. Stanley missed all practice sessions last week, giving second-year tackle Carson Vinson his first career start. Stanley's return provides needed veteran leadership as Baltimore manages multiple injuries across its interior offensive line.
New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury sustained during last week's game against Jacksonville. Gonzalez played 52 of 59 defensive snaps in Week 3 and has accumulated eight tackles and five passes defensed through three games. His status is critical for New England's secondary ahead of Sunday's divisional game against Buffalo.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a back issue, which head coach Jesse Minter downplayed as 'something small.' Jackson played every snap in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys in Brazil, accounting for two touchdowns. His absence is partially fatigue-related from travel, and his status for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans is not expected to be in jeopardy as he continues to be monitored.
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry faces his former team, the Tennessee Titans, on Sunday for the first time since his 2024 free-agent exit. Henry revealed Tennessee never made an offer to retain him after eight seasons.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty played a season-high 84 percent of offensive snaps in a Week 3 win over the Saints, rushing for 56 yards on 19 carries and adding three catches for 37 yards. Averaging 3.3 yards per carry after a strong opener, Jeanty has struggled due to subpar run blocking over the past two weeks as Las Vegas prepares to host Kansas City.
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him since the season opener. While he could potentially return for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts alongside Frankie Luvu, Okonkwo carries limited fantasy appeal coming directly off a multi-week hamstring absence.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels traveled to London and returned to practice in a limited capacity with a protective brace on his dislocated left elbow. Head coach Dan Quinn stated a recovery timeline of three weeks or sooner is expected, with surgery officially ruled out. While Marcus Mariota is projected to start Sunday against the Colts, Daniels is pushing to return after missing last week's win over Seattle.
The Washington Commanders added running back Austin Ekeler, providing a pass-catching skill set similar to Rachaad White. The roster addition comes as White deals with a shoulder injury sustained in Week 3 that sidelined him from Wednesday's London practice, giving the Commanders added depth in the backfield ahead of their matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White is dealing with a shoulder injury sustained during the team's Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Dan Quinn announced that White did not participate in Wednesday's London jog-through and is receiving medical treatment. While most traveling players practiced, White's status is closely monitored, especially with Washington adding running back Austin Ekeler.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Blake Cashman put in a strong performance in Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing 67 defensive snaps. He recorded eight total tackles, three solo, notched a quarterback sack, added a pass defense, and registered a second quarterback hit, anchoring the Vikings' defensive front heading into a Week 4 matchup against Miami.
Seattle Seahawks rookie guard Beau Stephens played 27 of 67 offensive snaps, continuing to split right guard duties with Christian Haynes. Despite occasional rookie mistakes reflecting his fifth-round status and arm length limitations, Stephens earned trust from the coaching staff with his willingness to work through blocks and execute advanced techniques in Sunday's game against Washington.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury. The banged-up Cowboys are managing a lengthy injury list ahead of their matchup against the Houston Texans, missing several defensive contributors including Shavon Revel Jr. and Cobie Durant, while Malik Hooker returned to limited participation.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was spotted participating fully in Wednesday's practice without an injury designation or knee protection, moving without issue after taking a hard hit in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Despite a down Week 3 with five turnovers, head coach Joe Brady ensured Allen will start Sunday against the Patriots. Allen maintains a 13-point fantasy lead as overall QB1 through three weeks.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed will miss the remainder of the 2026 season and undergo neck surgery after sustaining a serious injury in Week 2 against the New York Jets that required an overnight hospital stay and being carted off. Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed his placement on injured reserve, noting the injury is not career-threatening. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Skyy Moore will step up to shoulder the receiving load.
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been released by the New York Giants after playing 19 snaps across three games without recording a catch. Head coach John Harbaugh explained the move by stating it just wasn't working. The surprising move stunned edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. Beckham hits the open market with no current plans to sign to the practice squad, sparking questions about his next landing spot.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury sustained in Week 2 against Detroit.

He is expected to play in Week 4's divisional matchup against the New England Patriots.
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard sat out Wednesday's practice due to a foot and ankle issue. Head coach Robert Saleh indicated there is no major concern about Pollard's availability for Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Pollard has taken 38 carries for 173 yards and six receptions for 22 yards, coming off a game where he rushed 17 times for 74 yards and added four catches.
