NFL Week 4 injuries: Eagles’ A.J. Brown out, Bucs’ Rachaad White downgraded to questionable |Max Sporty|

The first quarter of the NFL season ends, and all the injuries pile up around the league. The Dallas Cowboys, for example, can be without defensive stalwarts DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons for some time after both players suffered injuries during Thursday night’s win over the New York Giants.

Several tight ends were in the headlines on Friday, for reasons both good and bad. Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) and Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (concussion) have already been ruled out of their respective team’s Week 4 matchups. Conversely, 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) says he expects to face the Patriots this weekend after dealing with a hamstring injury.

The Green Bay Packers are closely monitoring the status of quarterback Jordan Love (knee) ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 Minnesota Vikings. Love practiced after missing Weeks 2 and 3 — both Green Bay wins with backup Malik Willis starting in his place.

As always, we’ll have the injury report for all games played in Week 4. We’ll highlight the key injuries for each team as the list continues to grow with each week.

Everyone NFL odds courtesy of SportsLine consensus.

As you can see, the Saints are dealing with injuries at wideout and at running back with Kamara. Kamara and Olave were limited on Friday, while Wilson did not practice after being limited on Thursday. Kamara was also limited Thursday after not practicing Wednesday.

While McGary is out, every other Flacons player on this week’s injury report will play, including passer Matthew Judon (hamstring) and running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder).

The fact that Rankins is out and Hill is questionable is a bad sign for a Bengals defense that has been run over by Jayden Daniels and Co. monday night This is good news for the Panthers though, especially for running back Chuba Hubbard. Additionally, it appears that the Bengals’ first-round pick, Amarius Mims, is capable of replacing Brown in the starting lineup.

For the Panthers. Johnson was limited Friday after initially appearing on the team’s injury report Thursday. Hunt and Robinson were also limited during Friday’s practice.

Allen was a full practice participant on Friday, which bodes well for his potential status for Sunday. Fellow Rome Odunze (hip) was a full participant on Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday.

With Kupp still out, look for Tutu Atwell to continue to see an increase in production. Atwell had 4 catches for 93 yards (that included a 50-yard catch) in last Sunday’s comeback win over the 49ers.

While Pace’s absence hurts, the Vikings will have wideout Jordan Addison (ankle), passer Dallas Turner (knee) and quarterback Sam Darnold (knee) as Minnesota looks to remain undefeated.

For the Packers, Alexander’s status for Sunday is critical with Valentine questionable and the Vikings having their full complement of wideouts. Love, who hasn’t played since Week 1, was limited during this week’s practices. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the team will wait until kickoff before determining its status.

Mixon practiced (in a limited capacity) on Friday for the first time since getting hurt back in Week 2. That’s a good sign, but Mixon’s status for Sunday is still very much up in the air.

For the Jaguars, each of their questionable players was limited during Friday’s practice. Look for Brenton Strange to get most of the targets at tight end with Engram out. Strange had a touchdown and was targeted five times in Jacksonville’s Week 3 loss to Buffalo.

Look for Cordarrelle Patterson to get more work on Sunday in place of Warren, whose season thus far has been riddled with injuries. On defense, Nick Herbig, who led Pittsburgh with two sacks in last week’s win over the Chargers, will start in place of Highsmith.

Paye’s absence is big for several reasons. Not only are the Colts now without their top two pass rushers (DeForest Buckner is on injured reserve), they are without another key member of a defensive line that is already struggling to stop the run. That’s not good news because the Steelers are committed to running the ball with Najee Harris.

With Seumalo out (he was initially listed as questionable), rookie guard Mason McCormick is in line to make his first career start.

As expected, Moses will miss some time after getting injured in last week’s win over the Patriots. Moses labeled himself as “daily.” he said that how he can move before kicking will ultimately determine his status.

Brown was ruled out on Saturday after initially being labeled questionable. The Eagles brought up wideouts Parris Campbell and John Ross to help deal with the losses of Smith and Brown.

Ekeler suffered his injury during Monday night’s dramatic win over the Bengals. In addition to his work on offense, Ekeler is also one of Washingtons kick returners, so his absence impacts the Commanders in multiple ways. The Commanders’ running game wasn’t as effective Monday night after Ekeler left the game.

With McBride out, the Cardinals’ offense will have to lean more on wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson and running back James Conner. McBride’s backup, Elijah Higgins, has caught each of his four targets and a touchdown this season.

Sans Jennings, every one of the Patriots’ other questionable players was limited all week. Jennings was limited Thursday and Friday after not practicing Wednesday.

Samuel practiced as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, as did linebacker Dee Winters and defensive lineman Jordan Elliott. All three are questionable. San Francisco All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga did not practice this week with an ankle injury after making his 2024 season debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. All-Pro 49ers left tackle Trent Williams practiced Thursday in limited fashion while not practicing both Wednesday and Friday. Both Williams and Hufanga are also listed as questionable for Week 4.

A pretty clean injury report for the Chiefs. Danna was limited Friday after not practicing Thursday.

It’s the exact opposite situation for the Chargers, who will be without Bosa and possibly several other key players. Herbert, as he did a week ago, said he was making progress after aggravating the injury and exiting early in last Sunday’s loss to the Steelers.

Browns at Raiders (-2)

Offensive line continues to be an area of ​​concern for the Browns, who like the Raiders are one of the NFLs most injury-damaged teams through the first month of the season. Not helping matters is the fact that the team’s top tight end and backup is also injured.

These are significant losses for the Raiders, who are trying to stay afloat as much as keep pace with the other AFC playoff hopefuls. With Adams out, look for tight end Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers to get the majority of the targets.

Linderbaum was a full practice participant on Friday, so his status for Sunday is looking up. Conversely, Vorhees did not practice all week.

Titans: DT Jeffery Simmons (elbow) DOUBTFUL; CB L’Jarius Sneed (hamstring), S Amani Hooker (face) DOUBTFUL
Dolphins: T Terron Armstead (concussion), CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) OUT; LB David Long (hamstring) DOUBTFUL; QB Skylar Thompson (ribs), RB Raheem Mostert (chest), WR Malik Washington (quad) DOUBTFUL

Both Sneed and Hooker practiced Saturday for the Titans, who are still looking for their first win. With Thompson questionable, the Dolphins are slated to start former Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler “Snoop” Huntley, who made 10 starts in four seasons with the Ravens.

Seahawks: OLB Uchenna Nwosu (knee), OLB Boye Mafe (knee), DE Leonard Williams (ribs), DT Byron Murphy (hamstring) OUT; ILB Jerome Baker (hamstring) DOUBTFUL
Lions: C Frank Ragnow (piece) OUT; CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr

While they will be without several key defensive players, the Seahawks will have running back Kenneth Walker III, who has missed the last two games with an oblique injury.

The Lions will have tight end Sam LaPorta for Sunday despite LaPorta suffering an ankle injury during last week’s win over Arizona.
