Okoronkwo has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a triceps injury.

It was Okoronkwo's first game of the season after he was healthy scratch for the first three weeks, but he will not return to the contest due to his injury. Patrick Johnson and Joshua Uche will serve as the Eagles' rotational outside linebackers for the rest of Sunday's game.

Metcalf recorded five receptions on five targets for 126 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Vikings.

Metcalf found the end zone in his third straight game while also tallying his first 100-yard receiving game as a Steeler. He did the majority of his damage on an 80-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, which came nearly entirely after the catch. Metcalf continues to be Aaron Rodgers' favorite target among the downfield pass catchers, and he has at least 80 receiving yards in half of his four games in his nascent Steelers tenure.

Brooks (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Brooks was down on the field for an extended period of time after taking a hit to the head early in the second quarter. He was able to eventually walk off the field under his own power but will not return to Sunday's game. Brooks has primarily served on special teams for the Falcons this season.

Moore (elbow) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Newton of ESPN.com and Joe Person of The Athletic report.

Prior to his exit from the game, Moore carried once for 12 yards and did not record a target. In his absence, the Panthers' Week 4 depth at wideout is further taxed, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) having previously been made inactive Sunday. Tetairoa McMillan,Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne are now in line to lead the team's WR corps versus New England.

Zavala is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a knee injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Zavala appeared to suffer the injury in the first quarter. He was able to walk off the field under his own power and is having his knee injury evaluated by medical staff. Brandon Walton -- whom the Panthers elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday -- has taken over at right guard in Zavala's absence.

Gainwell rushed the ball 19 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Vikings. He added six receptions on six targets for 35 yards.

Jaylen Warren (knee) was surprisingly inactive Sunday morning, leaving Gainwell to fill in as Pittsburgh's lead back. He did so admirably, scoring touchdowns from one and four yards away while also ripping off long gains of 15 and 10 yards. Gainwell also remained active as a pass catcher, giving him a well-rounded fantasy line. The Steelers are headed into their bye week, meaning this may be Gainwell's only chance to handle this type of workload for the time being, but he proved plenty capable of handling the lead-back role if needed.

Franks is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to an arm injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Franks appeared to suffer the injury in the first quarter during coverage on a kickoff. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but if Franks doesn't return, then Charlie Woerner and Teagan Quitoriano would be the two healthy backup tight ends behind Kyle Pitts the rest of the way.

Scott carried the ball twice for one yard and caught six of eight targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

The Vikings couldn't get much going on the ground and found themselves staring at a 21-6 deficit heading into the fourth quarter, so Scott saw a career-high workload as a pass catcher and capped a drive inside the final four minutes with a 16-yard TD reception, his first score in the NFL. Jordan Mason is locked into the top spot on the backfield depth chart for Minnesota as long as Aaron Jones (IR, hamstring) is sidelined, but Scott may have earned a more consistent role with this performance, beginning with a Week 5 tilt against the Browns in London.

Alt is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to an ankle injury.

Alt suffered the injury in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room after being examined in the blue medical tent. Austin Deculus has taken over at left tackle and will remain there for as long as Alt is out of the game.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed after Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers that O'Neill will have an MRI on his knee, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

O'Neill was unable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, and the results of those tests will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5. Justin Skule would likely start at right tackle if O'Neill is unable to play Week 5.
