Lamb (ankle) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lamb is expected to be ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers, as he's logged a trio of DNPs this week following last Sunday's ankle injury against the Bears. Expect the Cowboys to rely on George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy at wide receiver while Lamb is out.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The Youngstown State product sustained a knee injury in Tennessee's Week 2 loss to the Rams and hasn't practiced since, making it no surprise that he'll remain out Sunday. Julius Chestnut is expected to serve as the Titans' second kick returner while Oliver is out in Week 4.

With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mitchell is expected to see increased playing time on offense.

Mitchell has played just 23 percent of the offensive snaps through three games as the Colts' fourth WR, but with Pierce sidelined, Mitchell figures to play a prominent role in two- and three-wide sets on the outside opposite Michael Pittman with Josh Downs manning the slot. Mitchell has been targeted eight times on his limited playing time this season, catching four passes for 41 scoreless yards. Mitchell has all the physical traits to be a difference-making wideout, and he'll get a chance to show it in a possible shootout against Los Angeles.

Pierce (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

At this stage, Pierce remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, so his next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 5 against the Raiders. In Pierce's absence Sunday, Adonai Mitchell figures to see an expanded Week 4 role alongside fellow WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

With Brown missing a second straight game and Terry McLaurin (quad) now unavailable, the Commanders are left with Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore as the healthy wide receivers on their active roster.

Legette (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Patriots.

Legette, who was unable to practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 5 against the Dolphins. In Legette's absence this weekend, David Moore, Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne are candidates to see added Week 4 snaps alongside fellow WR Tetairoa McMillan (calf, questionable).

McMillan (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England.

McMillan didn't practice Wednesday but managed limited participation Thursday and Friday. He said Wednesday that he'll be fine for Sunday's game, but fantasy managers should still keep an eye out for additional updates before the Panthers post their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET this Sunday.

McLaurin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

He hasn't practiced since making an early exit from the Week 3 win over Las Vegas. It sounds like McLaurin will miss additional time beyond Sunday, with Commanders coach Dan Quinn calling the wideout "week-to-week" on Friday, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Washington also will be without QB Jayden Daniels (knee), WR Noah Brown (groin) and TE John Bates (groin) this weekend, opening up opportunities for a slew of young players (plus QB Marcus Mariota). In any case, McLaurin's prospects for Week 5 at the Chargers don't sound good right now.

Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

He didn't practice this week and is expected to miss multiple games, but the Buccaneers waited until Friday to publicly rule out Evans for this Sunday's game. Fellow Tampa Bay wideout Chris Godwin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, potentially giving the team a quality replacement for Evans in the starting lineup, though Godwin's explosiveness and workload may both be somewhat limited initially.

The Buccaneers are listing Godwin (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The designation was expected once Godwin upgraded to full practice participation Wednesday. He sat out Thursday for maintenance, before returning Friday, with Auman now suggesting that the wideout appears on track for his season debut. Meanwhile, teammate Mike Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4 and could miss additional time.
