McMillan (calf) is expected to play against the Patriots on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

McMillan and starting running back Chuba Hubbard are both on track to play Sunday, though fantasy managers may have to wait for an official update from the Panthers approximately 90 minutes before their 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. McMillan has posted 14 catches (on 27 targets) for 216 yards through the first three games of the regular season, and he will headline the Panthers' pass-catching corps that will be without wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) and tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle).

Hill is not participating in Saturday's practice due to personal reasons, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Although he's missing Saturday's practice, Furones relays that Hill is still expected to play in Monday night's AFC East tilt against the Jets. Hill has opened the 2025 regular season with 15 catches (on 23 targets) for 198 yards and one touchdown across three games, and he's also contributed on special teams with a 19-yard punt return.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said Saturday that Waller (hip) is set to make his 2025 debut Monday against the Jets, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Waller missed the Dolphins' first three games of the regular season due to a hip injury that stemmed from training camp. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, but the veteran tight end is expected to suit up in Monday's AFC East clash, which will impact the offensive snap count for fellow tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner. Waller last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Giants, when he logged 52 catches (on 74 targets) for 552 yards and one touchdown across 12 games.

Diggs is expected to play Sunday against the Packers despite shoulder, knee and hamstring issues, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Although the cornerback heads into Week 4 action absent from the final injury report, Diggs appears to be far from 100 percent. He underwent knee surgery in January and briefly left last week's loss to the Bears due to his shoulder before getting back on the field, but it was a right hamstring issue that nearly kept him out of the lineup entirely in Week 3. "Trey is dealing with some stuff like guys have to do," coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday. "Like I said, it's awesome to see him come back in the game last week. He got the shoulder dinged up and then to come back in and make a couple of physical plays, it was great to see." DaRon Bland's return this week will take some pressure off Diggs to return to form, but he has been a major liability in the secondary so far in 2025 -- he carries a stunning 158.3 QB rating against in coverage, having already allowed three touchdowns on only six targets sent his way.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Saturday that Fields (concussion) will start against the Dolphins on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Fields was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers after being diagnosed with a concussion following the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Bills. Fields was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday and has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. That paves the way for the 2021 first-rounder to start in Monday's AFC East clash while Tyrod Taylor reverts to QB2 duties. Fields has opened the regular season completing 19 of 33 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown while adding 17 carries for 97 yards and two scores across two games.

Clowney is expected to make his Cowboys debut Sunday night against the Packers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The veteran edge rusher was signed back on Sept, 14, but Dallas elected to hold him out in Week 3 while he got up to speed on Matt Eberflus' scheme. Clowney won't replace Micah Parsons, but he's recorded 15.0 sacks in 31 regular-season games over the last two seasons between the Ravens and Panthers and will provide a boost to a Cowboys pass rush that's managed only four sacks in the first three weeks of 2025, the fifth-lowest mark in the league.

Warren (rest/knee) is expected to play against the Vikings on Sunday in Dublin, Ireland, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Warren was a limited practice participant all week, with the Steelers citing both 'resting vet' and 'knee' as his injury designations. Even with Trey Sermon being elevated from the practice squad to the active roster, the expectation is that Warren will suit up against Minnesota, though an official announcement will be made approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. kickoff. Kenneth Gainwell would be in line for an uptick in playing time on offense if Warren is unable to play or has his snap count limited, with rookie third-rounder Kaleb Johnson -- who didn't play against the Patriots in Week 3 -- also providing depth out of the Steelers' backfield.

Godwin (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Godwin, who has missed the first three games of the season, was a full participant in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for the contest. His expected return to the mix arrives at an opportune juncture, with fellow WR Mike Evans expected to miss three-to-four weeks with a hamstring injury. Also trending toward playing versus the Eagles is QB Baker Mayfield (biceps, questionable), with the duo's Week 4 status set to be confirmed when the Buccaneers post their inactives ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Wirfs (knee) is expected to make his 2025 debut against the Eagles on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Wirfs ended the week with back-to-back full practices and is on track to play Sunday. The 2020 first-rounder missed all of training camp and the first three games of the regular season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in early July. Graham Barton would likely revert to a reserve role on the Bucs' offensive line if Wirfs is cleared to play.

Mayfield (right biceps) is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Mayfield, who was limited at practice this week, is officially listed as questionable, with coach Todd Bowles having previously noted Friday that the quarterback "should be OK for Sunday." Also trending toward active status versus Philadelphia is wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle), and the duo's Week 4 status, either way, is set to be confirmed ahead of the first wave of games Sunday, with the Buccaneers kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET.
