Warren (rest/knee) is expected to play against the Vikings on Sunday in Dublin, Ireland, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Warren was a limited practice participant all week, with the Steelers citing both 'resting vet' and 'knee' as his injury designations. Even with Trey Sermon being elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, the expectation is that Warren will suit up against Minnesota, though an official announcement will be made approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. kickoff. Kenneth Gainwell would be in line for an uptick in playing time on offense if Warren is unable to play or has his snap count limited, with rookie third-rounder Kaleb Johnson -- who didn't play against the Patriots in Week 3 -- also providing depth out of the Steelers' backfield.

Carter reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Carter was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season in the wake of James Conner's season-ending foot injury. However, Carter logged just four snaps on offense and one play on special teams during Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks, and his only carry for one yard on third down in the middle of the second quarter was followed by a Blake Gillikin punt. Trey Benson (37 of 67 offensive snaps) and Emari Demercado (26) handled the bulk of the backfield reps, with the former turning 13 touches into 54 yards from scrimmage and the latter recording 21 total yards and a receiving TD on his four touches. While Carter can be elevated two more times, he doesn't appear to be an immediate candidate to contribute to the Cardinals' running game.

Tuten (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Tuten upgraded to full participation Friday, following limited sessions the previous two days. He played through the same injury last week, and Friday marked his first full practice participation since Week 2. Better health could lead to a few more snaps/touches, but Travis Etienne is still expected to lead the way in Jacksonville's backfield, where LeQuint Allen has been getting most of the third-down snaps.

Nwangwu (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Nwangwu has logged back-to-back limited practices to open the week as he nurses the hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. The wide receiver has missed the last two games as a result of the injury, and if he can't go against the Dolphins on Monday Night Football, Isaiah Davis would once again stand to see an increase in workload on special teams.

Jacobs (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs has been a limited practice participant for two weeks now, with no sign so far of the ankle injury limiting his workloads come game day. He'll face a vulnerable Dallas defense this Sunday with the Packers favored by nearly a touchdown.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta after returning to full practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Following the upgrade to full participation, Croskey-Merritt's absences Wednesday and Thursday don't appear too concerning. Commanders coach Dan Quinn even said that the rookie looked good during Friday's practice, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Fantasy managers may still want to keep an eye on the situation, but it appears Croskey-Merritt will be ready for his committee role this Sunday, likely splitting backfield snaps with Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols again. The Commanders may need a lot from the group, as they're missing QB Jayden Daniels (knee), WR Terry McLaurin (quad), WR Noah Brown (groin) and TE John Bates (groin).

The Texans placed Johnson (hamstring) on the injured reserve list Friday.

Johnson will be forced to miss at least the Texans' next four games due to an apparent hamstring injury. The Tennessee product appeared in each of Houston's first three games this season, playing 76 total snaps (40 on offense, 36 on special teams) while failing to record an offensive stat.

Vaki (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

The Utah product didn't practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Vaki played just seven special-teams snaps in that contest, so his absence is unlikely to have much impact on Detroit in Week 4.

Swift (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Swift was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, following the same routine as last week, only this time due to a hip injury instead of an issue with his quadriceps. He seems more likely than not to play again, but fantasy managers would be wise to check back in for updates this weekend ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Kyle Monangai is the only other running back to play a snap on offense for the Bears this season.

Skattebo will serve as the Giants' No. 1 RB on Sunday against the Chargers after the Giants officially ruled out Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) on Friday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Skattebo took advantage Week 3 against the Chiefs following Tracy's exit in the first quarter due to a dislocated right shoulder, with the rookie turning 10 carries into 60 yards and one touchdown and gathering in six of eight targets for 61 yards. With Tracy likely set for a multi-week absence, Skattebo will be the Giants' priority backfield option as rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart gets his initial foray as an NFL starting quarterback.
