Jean-Baptiste will undergo an MRI on a pectoral injury that he suffered during the Commanders' 34-27 loss to the Falcons on Sunday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Per Jhabvala, the Commanders fear that Jean-Baptiste tore his pec during Sunday's loss, which would likely necessitate a lengthy stint on injured reserve. The Commanders received much-needed depth at defensive end by signing Preston Smith (coach's decision) earlier in September, and the veteran could be active for Week 5 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 5 if Jean-Baptiste is sidelined. Jalyn Holmes would also be in line for a significant increase in defensive snaps.

Walker (wrist) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Walker sustained a wrist injury in the first half, and the issue is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Dawuane Smoot and Emmanuel Ogbah will see more snaps at defensive end opposite Josh Hines-Allen in Walker's absence.

Murray is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a neck injury.

Murray appeared to suffer the injury in the second quarter, when he collided with teammate Travon Walker (wrist). Rayuan Lane and Antonio Johnson are in line to see more snaps at safety alongside Andrew Wingard for as long as Murray is out of the game.

Nwangwu (hamstring) has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

Nwangwu was a long shot to play in Monday's contest after drawing the doubtful tag, and he will indeed miss a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury that he sustained in Week 1 against the Steelers. Isaiah Davis will continue to operate as the Jets' top return option on kickoffs in Nwangwu's absence.

Smith is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury.

Smith sustained the injury in the second quarter, and he has been taken to the locker room to evaluate the issue and determine whether he can return. Trenton Simpson and Jay Higgins are candidates to see increased work at inside linebacker for as long as Smith is out of the contest.

McMillan secured four of eight targets for 62 yards in the Panthers' 42-13 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

McMillan had been listed as questionable coming into the afternoon due to a calf issue, but the rookie first-round pick kept up his strong play while recording a team-high receiving yardage total. He also tied with Tommy Tremble for the team lead in targets, and given the disastrous team outcome for Carolina, the talented wideout's numbers were respectable. The Arizona product has risen above the Panthers' offensive struggles overall to eclipse the 60-yard mark in three of his first four NFL games, and he'll look to capitalize on a favorable matchup against the shaky Dolphins defense in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday afternoon.

Kamara tallied 15 rushes for 70 yards and gathered in four of five targets for two yards during Sunday's 31-19 loss against the Bills.

Kamara had his second-most productive rushing output of the season and averaged over 4.2 yards per carry for the second time this year. The 30-year-old had been shouldering the bulk of the rushing workload with 50 of the team's 79 carries over the first three games, but RB2 Kendre Miller closed the gap with a season-high 11 rushing attempts for 65 yards Sunday. This may have been part of the Saints' offensive gameplan, as the team logged more rushing attempts (34) than passing attempts (28) for the first time this season. Kamara will look to record his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season next week, facing a Giants defense that's allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry through four weeks.

Humphrey is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a calf injury, Kyle Goon of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Humphrey appeared to suffer the injury in the second quarter on the same play that JuJu Smith-Schuster caught a four-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Undrafted rookie Keyon Martin has entered the game at corner, and Humphrey will continue to have his injury evaluated by medical trainers.

Irving rushed 15 times for 63 yards and brought in all five targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Irving finished as the Buccaneers' leader in both rushing and receiving yards, the latter largely the result of his impressive 72-yard catch-and-run touchdown down the left sideline on a broken play late in the third quarter. Game script capped Irving's opportunities as a runner somewhat throughout the afternoon, but he still cleared the 60-yard mark on the ground for the third consecutive contest. Irving has no less than four receptions in any contest as well, giving him an outstanding fantasy floor in virtually any scenario heading into a tough Week 5 road trip to Seattle next Sunday afternoon.

Cook rushed 22 times for 117 yards and a touchdown while bringing in three of four targets for 18 yards in the Bills' 31-19 win over the Saints on Sunday.

The Bills arguably underperformed most of the afternoon given their status as significant home favorites, but Cook's play didn't disappoint. The speedy back was over the 100-yard mark on the ground for the third straight game, and he extended his season-opening streak of rushing touchdowns to four games with a one-yard scoring run late in the first quarter. Cook is averaging 5.4 yards per carry overall, even when factoring in an average of 3.4 yards per tote Week 1 against the Ravens. The versatile fourth-year pro also has multiple catches in three of the first four games heading into a Week 5 AFC East home showdown against the Patriots next Sunday night.
