McMillan has been diagnosed with a PCL sprain in his left knee, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

McMillan originally suffered a knee injury during training camp in early August, and this is believed to be an aggravation of that issue. The 24-year-old didn't play Week 1, logged just seven offensive snaps Week 2 and then lasted just two offensive snaps this past Sunday versus Minnesota before exiting due to the injury. Per Laine, the "early thinking" on McMillan's timeline suggests a 6-to-8 week absence, which makes him a candidate for IR. All of Ted Hurst, Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson could be slated for larger roles with McMillan expected to be out for the foreseeable future.

Wallace (knee) did not participate in the Browns' estimated practice Monday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Wallace stayed down on the field after a kickoff return during the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. The wide receiver's injury wasn't announced until Monday, so the knee issue may be minor. If Wallace cannot suit up for Tuesday's practice session in at least a limited capacity, his chances of playing in Thursday night's game against the Steelers will likely be in jeopardy.

Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that he expects Flowers to carry a full workload in Week 4 against the Titans on Sunday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Flowers had his workload limited during Sunday's 34-31 win against the Cowboys in Brazil. Despite playing only 21 snaps on offense, the fourth-year wide receiver finished with five catches on six targets for 84 yards to lead the Ravens pass catchers in all three categories. Flowers will be Lamar Jackson's favorite target heading into Week 4 against a Titans defense that ranks eighth in the league in passing yards allowed per game (189.0).

The NFL lifted its suspension of Jones on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones was suspended by the league for the first three games of the regular season due to a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. The Maryland product will be available for the Vikings' Week 4 home tilt against the Dolphins on Sunday, though Jones' playing time figures to be limited to special teams rather than on offense.

Young (knee) is not expected to play in Week 4 against the Jaguars, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Young suffered a left knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Steelers, and he was forced to miss the remainder of the contest. Head coach Zac Taylor provided an update Monday, explaining the wide receiver isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but he will be sidelined for at least one game. The Bengals are expected reevaluate the injury after Week 4 and then determine the next steps for Young.

McMillan aggravated the left knee injury he dealt with during training camp, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

McMillan departed Sunday's Week 3 loss to Minnesota after logging just two offensive snaps. He underwent an MRI on Monday, the results of which reportedly indicated that the wideout is dealing with an aggravation of the issue he picked up during camp in early August rather than a new injury. However, it's not yet clear how serious McMillan's injury is or how much more time, if any, he's slated to potentially miss. The Buccaneers' practice reports throughout this week should provide more clarity about McMillan's likelihood of suiting up Sunday versus Green Bay.

Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams are "hopeful" Nacua (hip) will return to action for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua has missed the past two gams due to a hip injury (on official practice reports) or what McVay alternatively has called "soreness in his groin" that's unrelated to the psoas discomfort the wide receiver dealt with in training camp. McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that if Nacua doesn't play Sunday at Denver, which came to pass, he likely will be available Week 4. McVay was more subdued Monday, also telling Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times that Nacua's upcoming status is "to be determined." As a result, the will he or won't he suit up with Nacua likely will continue until close to next weekend's kickoff or even beyond that point.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Monday that Bech (forearm) is slated to be placed on injured reserve, Paul Gutierrez of the team's official site reports.

Bech will be sidelined for at least the next four games after he sustained a broken left forearm in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Saints. His impending move to IR could open up a roster spot for fellow wideout Cody White, who is no longer eligible to be elevated from the practice squad after being called up for each of the first three games. Bech had served as Las Vegas' No. 3 receiver to begin the season, tallying five receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown on six targets.

Evans is considered day-to-day after sustaining a rib strain during Sunday's 36-30 win over the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Following his early exit from Sunday's game, Evans underwent a full evaluation Monday that revealed no significant injury. Even so, Evans' practice participation in Week 4 could be affected as the 49ers prepare for a matchup next Sunday against the Broncos. With four receivers already on injured reserve, the 49ers can ill afford an absence from Evans, who has recorded 12 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets through the club's first three games.

Jefferson was diagnosed Monday with a sprained left ankle following an MRI, and the Vikings are hopeful that he'll be able to play Sunday versus the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jefferson missed the final two quarters of this past Sunday's 23-16 win over the Buccaneers after injuring the ankle, but head coach Kevin O'Connell downplayed any major concern afterward, noting that he considered having the star wideout check back in "a couple times" during the second half. The receiver's imaging a day later ruled out any long-term concern with the ankle, and though his practice activity could be managed to some degree during the upcoming week, he has a chance to avoid missing any further game action.
