Alt was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Alt is expected to miss multiple weeks after he was injured in Sunday's loss to the Giants. With Alt joining Rashawn Slater (knee) on the sidelines, the Chargers will essentially be down to third-stringer Austin Deculus at left tackle.

Purdy (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

In his first game action since the season opener during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars, Purdy completed 22 of 38 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed twice for 13 yards and lost his only fumble. Earlier Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com that Purdy was dealing with toe soreness after the game, and with the 49ers having a quick turnaround for Thursday's contest at the Rams, "it's a totally different element" regarding the quarterback's availability, per Lombardi. How Purdy is listed on injury reports Tuesday and Wednesday will be key for getting a sense of his odds to suit up Thursday, but Mac Jones (knee), who was listed as full Monday, may be called upon again to lead San Francisco's offense.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports.

With Johnson the odd man out Monday, Josh Reynolds -- in his return from a two-game absence -- Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Isaiah Williams are available to handle WR snaps and targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson. In three games this season, Johnson has recorded a 4-63-0 line on six targets.

Bonner (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's divisional matchup against the Jets.

Bonner will miss his third game of the season due to a lingering hamstring injury. He sat out Week 1 and Week 2 before retaking the field Week 3, when he played one defensive snap and 14 snaps on special teams. The depth cornerback's next chance to take the field will come Week 5 versus the Panthers.

Ewers (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Jets.

Ewers will serve as the Dolphins' emergency third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. He'll only be able to enter the contest if both players are injured, suffer an illness or are ejected.

Nabers (knee) has been placed on IR by the Giants, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Salomone also relayed earlier Monday that coach Brian Daboll confirmed Nabers will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. With Nabers officially on IR, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Jalin Hyatt are poised to lead the teams' WR corps going forward, with Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski also available to mix in. In any case, losing the talented 2024 first-rounder for the rest of the campaign is a huge loss for a New York offense now helmed by rookie QB Jaxson Dart. Given the timing of his injury, Nabers -- who is expected to undergo surgery in the coming weeks, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com -- has a chance to be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, though the Giants have yet to outline a estimated timetable for his recovery.

The Texans released Smith (ankle) from injured reserve Monday.

Smith was injured during the preseason and sent to injured reserve. The veteran tight end will now have a chance to look for an opportunity elsewhere.

TeSlaa did not garner a target in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

TeSlaa played just 11 offensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 1, and he failed to see a target for the first time this season. Head coach Dan Campbell said that the wide receiver would see an increase in workload on offense after he caught a 13-yard touchdown in the team's 27-13 loss to Green Bay on Sept. 7, but TeSlaa has still been an afterthought for Detroit over the last three weeks. Unless something drastically changes with the Lions' operation, TeSlaa will continue to have a rather limited ceiling as an offensive asset moving forward.

Raymond caught two of three targets for 13 yards and also added a 65-yard punt-return touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Raymond was able to match his season highs in catches and targets, but he was still a rather unimpactful part of what the team did on offense. The wide receiver did make his mark on special teams, returning a punt for a score in the fourth quarter, which was his first trip to the end zone in any capacity since Week 8 of the 2024 campaign. Through four games this season, Raymond has reeled in six of nine targets for 47 yards, while also compiling 60 yards on kickoff returns and 114 yards as a punt returner.

Johnston is expected to miss time after sustaining a foot/ankle injury during the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Johnston appeared to suffer the injury in the third quarter, but he was cleared to return to the game. With Johnston expected to miss multiple games, the Bills will host multiple punters ahead of their Week 5 AFC East clash against the Patriots on Sunday.
