Palmer (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisianareports.

Palmer was cleared from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for Week 3, but he'll still remain inactive. He has now been a healthy scratch in three of the first four games of the season and has yet to make his Saints' debut.

Gipson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Gipson was claimed off waivers by the Eagles on Monday after being let go by the Giants, but the 24-year-old wideout will have to wait at least one more week to make his debut with Philadelphia. The Eagles will roll with four active wide receivers in A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and John Metchie.

Tremble is expected to serve as Carolina's starting tight end in Sunday's game against New England, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Ja'Tavion Sanders is inactive for Week 4 after injuring his ankle in last Sunday's win over the Falcons, so Tremble should see the bulk of the reps at tight end for Carolina once again. Following Sanders' early exit in the Week 3 victory, Tremble logged a season-high 57 percent snap share and finished with two catches for 16 yards on two targets.

Nunez-Roches (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nunez-Roches drew the doubtful injury tag after logging a DNP-DNP-LP practice log this past week, so it's no surprise that the 2015 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for Sunday's contest. It'll be the third consecutive game he'll miss due to a foot injury that he suffered in Week 1 against the Commanders, and he'll shift his focus on making his return for Week 5 against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 5. Elijah Garcia, Darius Alexander and D.J. Davidson will all continue to see increased work on the defensive line in Nunez-Roches' absence.

Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

With Pierce a healthy scratch once again, Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are poised to lead Houston's Week 4 backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks also available to mix in.

Moore is expected to serve as a starting receiver for Carolina in Sunday's game against New England, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

For the second game in a row, Moore is expected to have a regular spot in three-receiver sets for Carolina while Xavier Legette (hamstring) is sidelined. Despite handling a 97 percent snap share in the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, Moore was limited to just one reception for five yards on one target.

Winston (coach's decision) is listed as inactive but available as the Giants' emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Chargers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

While Winston will retain his role from the first three games of the season, the top of New York's QB depth chart has changed Week 4, with Jaxson Dart poised for his first NFL start and Russell Wilson handling backup duties. Winston will see the field only if Dart and Wilson suffer injuries.

Neal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Neal hasn't been active since Week 1, with Velus Jones instead taking the field thanks to his ability to contribute on special teams. Neal has had a slow start to his rookie season, earning only two carries for nine yards.

Wharton (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Wharton wasn't able to practice fully at any point this week, but his hamstring issue wasn't deemed serious enough to keep him from suiting up Sunday. The defensive lineman -- who posted a career-high 6.5 sacks with the Chiefs in 2024 over 17 regular-season games -- had missed the Panthers' previous two games with the injury.

Vele (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Vele was bothered by a hamstring injury that cost him Week 3, but he'll be back in the mix against the Bills. He earned only four targets through the first two contests of the season while in a rotational role. With Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Juwan Johnson all healthy, Vele is likely going to continue to struggle to find consistent targets.
