Hubbard rushed 10 times for 49 yards and brought in all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 42-13 loss to the Patriots.

Hubbard's rushing opportunities were unsurprisingly limited in the lopsided loss, but he made good use of them on his way to a team-high yardage total on the ground. The fifth-year pro's carry total tied for his lowest of the season, and he's now posted multiple receptions in all four contests to date in 2025. Hubbard should have a better chance at more rushing volume in a Week 5 home matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday afternoon, a game Miami's suspect defense will play on a short week.

Hampton carried the ball 12 times for 128 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

The rookie running back capped his huge performance with a 54-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter as the Chargers tried to mount a comeback. Hampton has erupted for 294 yards from scrimmage and two TDs over the last two games as he takes over as the Chargers' unquestioned lead back in the absence of Najee Harris (Achilles), and he could be poised for big numbers once again Week 5 against a Commanders defense that just got steamrolled for 181 combined yards and a score by the Falcons' Bijan Robinson.

Rattler completed 18 of 27 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss against the Bills.

Rattler attempted fewer than 34 passes and threw for under 200 yards for the first time this season. The second-year quarterback has been underwhelming despite averaging 39.7 passing attempts through the first three regular-season games. Sunday's outing also marked the first time this season that the Saints have had more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28). Rattler's production may suffer again if the Saints lean into the running game during their Week 5 matchup against the Giants, whose defense has allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry.

Goodson (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Rams.

Jonathan Taylor and DJ Giddens will be the Colts' two backfield options for the rest of Sunday's game, although Goodson's involvement in the offense has been minimal so far in 2025.

Humphrey (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Humphrey sustained the calf injury in the first half, and after being evaluated by medical staff, the injury is considered too severe for him to return to Sunday's contest. Keyon Martin will continue to see additional snaps at corner in Humphrey's absence.

Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Smith suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and he will not return for the second half. Jay Higgins and Trenton Simpson will pick up the slack at inside linebacker the rest of the way due to Smith's injury.

Pearsall sustained a right knee injury during Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

After attempting to haul in a Brock Purdy pass early in the third quarter down the left sideline, Pearsall was shaken up and spent some time in the blue medical tent before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. At the end of the same drive, Jauan Jennings appeared to injure his ribs as he gathered in a Purdy pass for a successful two-point conversion, so the statuses of the team's top wideouts are up in the air with more than a quarter left to play.

Maye completed 14 of 17 passes for 203 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed three times for 11 yards and another score in the Patriots' 42-13 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Maye's ultra-efficient stat line underscored New England's all-around dominance on the afternoon, and he didn't need to do much as a passer in the second half after the Patriots took a 28-6 lead into halftime. The second-year signal-caller connected with seven different targets while hitting Hunter Henry and Mack Hollins for scores. Maye added his second rushing touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard run to open the second quarter, and he'll look to extend his streak of games with multiple TD passes to four when New England visits Buffalo for a Week 5 road showdown next Sunday night.

Carter told reporters that he aggravated his shoulder injury during the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Carter briefly left in the fourth quarter, but he managed to finish out the game and ended with one solo tackle. The 2023 first-rounder will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury, which could prevent him from playing in the Eagles' Week 5 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 5. Byron Young and Za'Darius Smith would be in line to see additional snaps on the Eagles' defensive line if Carter misses time.

Mayfield completed 22 of 40 passes for 289 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also fumbled once but was able to recover it.

Mayfield got limited throwing work in practice this week due to a biceps issue, but he still mustered his best passing yardage total of 2025, thanks in large part to 77- and 72-yard touchdown passes to Emeka Egbuka and Bucky Irving, respectively. Considering he was playing without Mike Evans (hamstring) and that Chris Godwin was making his season debut, Mayfield's numbers have to be considered encouraging. He'll aim to get the Bucs right back into the win column during a tough Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday afternoon.
