Dean (hip/groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Dean sustained the injuries in the third quarter of Sunday's game, which are severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Benjamin Morrison is the top candidate to see increased work at outside corner for the rest of the way due to Dean's absence.

Danna (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Danna has been dealing with a quad injury sustained during the Chiefs' Week 2 loss to the Eagles. He was a limited participant Wednesday before practicing in full Thursday. But, he was downgraded to a non-participant Friday, and he'll now be sidelined for the second week in a row. In his absence, Charles Omenihu and/or Ashton Gillotte should see increased work Sunday versus Baltimore. Danna's next chance to play is Week 5 versus the Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 6.

Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Gordon will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a hamstring injury that he sustained in mid-August. With the Bears on a bye for Week 5, Gordon will have additional time to rehab from his injury and make his 2025 regular-season debut in Week 6 against the Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 13. Nick McCloud will continue to see additional work out of the slot cornerback position in Gordon's absence.

Richardson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Bears.

The veteran cornerback had managed to work back to a full practice Friday after limited sessions the first two days of Week 4 prep, making his inactive status for a second straight game somewhat surprising. The second-year cornerback's next opportunity to take the field comes in a Week 5 matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

Hockenson recorded four receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers.

Hockenson wasn't targeted until just before halftime and didn't make his first catch until the Vikings' first drive of the fourth quarter. However, he saw plenty of opportunity in short areas of the field in the final 10 minutes of the game as Minnesota attempted to rally from a two-score deficit. Though Hockenson ended up with a respectable line on five targets, Jordan Addison's return predictably appears to have cut into his target volume.

Mitchell (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

Mitchell has now been ruled a healthy scratch for each of the first four weeks of the season. The Ravens will once again use Justice Hill and Rasheen Ali as the backup running backs behind bell-cow starter Derrick Henry. Mitchell's next chance to play is Week 5 versus the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Jones (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Jones popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a DNP due to a knee injury. He managed to end the week with back-to-back limited practices but has not been cleared to play in Sunday's contest, and his next chance to take the field is Week 5 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 5. John Jenkins is slated to see more work at nose tackle due to Jones' injury.

White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

White is a relatively surprising healthy scratch Sunday, considering he's filled a complementary role in each of the first three games of the season and posted 13 total touches over that span. However, the fourth-year pro will don street clothes for the interconference clash, leaving Dylan Laube and veteran Raheem Mostert as Ashton Jeanty's backups versus Chicago.

Loveland (hip) is listed as inactive Sunday in Las Vegas.

Loveland made an early departure from last Sunday's win against the Cowboys due to a hip injury that didn't allow him to practice until Friday, when he was limited and given a questionable designation. He began to trend in the wrong direction for Week 4 after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday afternoon that Loveland wasn't expected to be available Sunday, which now has been confirmed. Cole Kmet (groin) is poised to handle most of the TE reps Sunday, with Durham Smythe and Stephen Carlson in reserve roles. Meanwhile, Loveland's next chance to suit up is Monday, Oct. 13 at Washington following a Week 5 bye.

Van Noy (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Van Noy earned the questionable tag for Sunday's bout after logging a limited practice Friday, but the veteran pass rusher has not been cleared to return from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 2 against the Browns. Rookie second-rounder Mike Green will continue to see extended playing time with the first-team defense at outside linebacker due to Van Noy's injury.
