As we enter the second month of the NFL season, monitoring the injury report becomes even more critical. And after watching Tua Tagovailoa get carted off the field on Thursday night, it's worth remembering just how big of a role injuries play in football.
This page will be updated throughout the weekend with more details and analysis when final injury reports are released.
Also, be sure to bookmark our NFL Injured Reserve Tracker which will be updated weekly throughout the season.

– Dalvin Cook will suit up for Week 4 despite dealing with a shoulder injury he suffered last week.
Cook dislocated his shoulder last year, but returned after missing one game and rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns with a harness to help keep his shoulder in place.
He played a season-low 44 snaps in Week 3 and didn't receive a target in the passing game. Expect the Vikings to get Alexander Mattison more involved to help the ailing Cook.

– One week after struggling in a loss to the Panthers, Jameis Winston is expected to be inactive thanks to his back and ankle injuries.
With Winston sidelined, the Saints will turn to Andy Dalton in hopes of helping their abysmal offense. Through three games with Winston, New Orleans' nine turnovers rank last in the NFL.
Dalton has started 15 games since being banished from Cincinnati, averaging 6.5 yards per attempt and tossing 22 touchdowns to 17 interceptions.
He started against Minnesota with the Bears at the end of last season, throwing for 325 yards and two picks in a 31-17 loss.
– Michael Thomas won't be on the field for Dalton on Sunday due to a toe injury he suffered last week. Tre'Quan Smith will be active and Jarvis Landry is questionable.
Smith and rookie Chris Olave combined for 13 catches and 253 last week against Carolina.

– Both of Cleveland's edge rushers are questionable this week. Jadeveon Clowney has been out since Week 2 with his ankle injury and Myles Garrett suffered multiple injuries in a scary car accident on Tuesday.
Kevin Stefanski was non-committal when asked about the availability about both guys and there's a real possibility neither one is active on Sunday.
If that's the case, the Browns will turn to Alex Wright and Isaac Rochell. Wright, a rookie third-round pick, has just 95 snaps of NFL experience, but did start for Clowney last week.
Rochell is a six-year vet with 9.5 career sacks, but none since he left the Chargers in 2020.

Cordarrelle Patterson

– Cordarrelle Patterson is third in the NFL in rushing yards after three weeks, but is questionable for Sunday thanks to a knee injury. The reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week did join the team on Friday and “looked good” according to Arthur Smith.
If Patterson is inactive, rookie Tyler Allgeier will get his first NFL start since top backup Damien Williams is on the IR.
The BYU product has averaged 3.4 yards per carry in his first 16 NFL touches.

– Could this be the week Shaquille Leonard makes his return to the field? He's questionable, but has been a full participant in practice for weeks now after undergoing offseason back surgery.
Even with Leonard sidelined, the Colts have had the NFL's best rush defense in the NFL, allowing just 2.6 yards per carry through three games.

– The Commanders will turn to another center this week with Wes Schweitzer sidelined with a concussion.
Starting center Chase Roullier is on the IR, so it will Nick Martin snapping the ball against the Cowboys.
The Commanders allowed nine sacks to the Eagles last week and Schweitzer was responsible for five pressures up the middle, according to Pro Football Focus.
Martin last started all 16 games for the Texans in 2020. He allowed eight sacks in four seasons in Houston.

– Michael Gallup is poised to make his 2022 debut after sitting out the first three weeks while recovering from a torn ACL.
Only CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown have been productive receivers for the Cowboys this season, so the addition of Gallup will be a needed boost to a passing offense that has thrown just two touchdowns.

– The Seahawks are relatively healthy heading into Week 4, although they did place Travis Homer on the IR this week after he suffered a rib injury.
With Homer out of the rotation, rookie Kenneth Walker III could see more snaps after playing just nine in Week 3.
Walker did miss most of training camp due to a hernia, but has just seven carries and five catches in two NFL games playing behind Rashaad Penny.

– The Lions will be without their top-two offensive playmakers on Sunday. Both Amon-Ra St. Brown and D'Andre Swift have been ruled out.
The Lions next two wide receivers, DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds are both questionable, as well. Kalif Raymond is the only other receiver to get a target this season, he has one catch for four yards.
As for running back, Swift might be down for the next two games so he's fully healthy when Detroit returns from its bye week.
That means extra time for Jamaal Williams, who has 43 carries for 168 yards and Craig Reynolds, who had six carries for 13 yards last week.

– The Texans' tight ends are banged up with both Pharaoh Brown and Brevin Jordan listed as questionable.
OJ Howard is the only healthy tight end on the roster and has played 18 snaps in the last two games. He had two catches for 38 yards in Week 1, but wasn't even targeted against the Bears.

Herbert is averaging 7.3 yards per carry and has 80 more rushing yards than Montgomery on the season, despite carrying the ball two fewer times.
Last week, Herbert rushed 20 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Houston.

– Perhaps no position group in the NFL is more injured than the Giants wide receivers. Sterling Shepard is done for the year and both Wan'Dale Robinson and Kadarius Toney are ruled out for Sunday.
That leaves Richie James, David Sills V and Kenny Golladay as the top options for Daniel Jones.
Of those three, only James has over five catches or 100 yards. Golladay has been a huge disappointment, catching just two passes for 22 yards this season.

The Eagles boast one of the best receiving corps in the NFL, with both AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith averaging over 80 yards per game.

– Slot corner Avonte Maddox tweaked his ankle in practice on Thursday and will sit out on Sunday.
This proves to be a challenge for the Eagles, considering Christian Kirk led the NFL in receiving yards from the slot in the first three weeks, averaging 18 yards per catch.
The Eagles do have CJ Gardner-Johnson who could slide down from safety, but it's probably more likely Josiah Scott gets an extended look. The former Jaguar has 120 snaps of experience as a nickel back in his NFL career.

– Ronnie Stanley's potential return couldn't come at a better time with Patrick Mekari out with an ankle injury. Stanley hasn't played since Week 1 of last season due to his own ankle injury.
Rookie David Faalele struggled last week in relief of Mekari, allowing two sacks and three total pressures.

Marquise Brown should play on Sunday despite carrying a questionable designation. Brown has been targeted 11 more times than any other Cardinals receiver. Greg Dortch has the second-most targets with 23.

– It was encouraging to see Christian McCaffrey return to practice on Friday in a limited capacity. He even told reporters after the session that he “feels great” so it would be a bit surprising if he is inactive on Sunday.
He had a season-high 27 touches in Week 3 despite playing a season-low number of snaps. Matt Rhule did promise to get D'Onte Foreman more involved in the offense, so that could help alleviate some of the stress on McCaffrey.

Commanding the offense will be Brian Hoyer, who has lost his last 11 starts dating back to 2016. Despite spending seven seasons with the Patriots, Hoyer has made just one start, completing 15 of his 24 passes for 130 yards last year.
The Packers defense has been formidable this year, ranking eighth in the NFL in points per drive allowed.

– Jaire Alexander is questionable after suffering a groin injury in Week 3. The Packers will turn to Rasul Douglas to start on the outside should Alexander be inactive with Keisean Nixon filling in the slot.
Douglas had a fantastic season last year, intercepting five passes and holding opposing quarterbacks to a passer rating of 46.3 when targeted.

– The interior of the Broncos offensive line could be in trouble on Sunday with right guard Quinn Meinerz already ruled out and left guard Dalton Risner considered questionable.
Graham Glasgow has been filling in at right guard for two weeks now, allowing five total pressures, but zero hits or sacks.
Rookie Luke Wattenberg could see his first NFL snaps if Risner is inactive, however Risner's full participation in Friday's practice is an encouraging sign.

– Hunter Renfrow will be inactive for the second straight week due to the concussion he suffered at the end of Week 2.
With Renfrow sidelined last week, Mack Hollins had the best game of his career, catching eight passes for 158 yards against the Titans. Keelan Cole also got four targets in the loss.

– Harrison Butker is expected to be out again this week as he deals with his ankle injury. It will be Matthew Wright handling the kicking duties after Matt Ammendola was released following his struggles last week.
Wright has spent time with the Steelers and Jaguars over the past two seasons, going 16 for 16 on kicks under 40 yards and four for six on kicks over fifty.

– The Buccaneers will get Mike Evans back, but they still have four wide receivers on the injury report this week, three of whom didn't practice on Friday.
Julio Jones will be a game-time decision again this week while Russell Gage's inactivity on Friday was probably a precautionary thing given the state of their depth chart.
– Donovan Smith is also questionable this week after missing two straight games with an elbow injury. The Buccaneers were down to their third-string left tackle last week and the return of Smith could really aid an ailing offensive line.
