Tristan Wirfs OT | TB
Buccaneers' Tristan Wirfs: Trending toward playing Week 4
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.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: Expected to be available Sunday
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.

Jalen Thompson DB | DAL
Cardinals' Jalen Thompson: Leads Cards with nine tackles
Thompson registered nine tackles (five solo) during Arizona's 23-20 loss to Seattle on Thursday.
Thompson played 65 of 66 defensive snaps Thursday and finished tied with Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon for most tackles in the game. Thompson has seen a heavy workload through the first four games of the regular season, and his 33 total tackles is second most on the team behind Mack Wilson (35).

Greg Dortch WR | BUF
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Uptick in offensive usage
Dortch recorded four catches (on five targets) for 35 yards, one carry for four yards, three kick returns for 82 yards and one punt return for 15 yards during Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.
After earning no more than a 24 percent snap share in any of the Cardinals' first three games of the season, Dortch jumped all the way up to 64 percent Week 4 with Zay Jones (concussion) inactive. Dortch continued to handle most of the return duties, but he also surpassed his total number of targets from the first three games (four) in just one contest. For as long as Jones is sidelined, Dortch appears as if he'll be the team's No. 3 WR behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Season-high six targets
Wilson hauled in three of six targets for 15 yards during Thursday's 23-20 defeat to the Seahawks.
Wilson earned a season-high 97 percent snap share Week 4, but he again didn't get much going within the confines of the Cardinals offense. His target count did mark a season best, but he now boasts a measly 6-36-1 line on 14 targets through four games. Until QB Kyler Murray begins to look his way more often, Wilson appears to be on the outside looking in when it comes to fantasy relevance.

Julian Love SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Julian Love: Six solo tackles Week 4
Love finished Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals with six solo tackles and a pass defense.
Love was cleared to play after missing the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Saints due to a hamstring injury. It didn't seem to hamper him at all, as he played every single defensive snap in Thursday's NFC West tilt, led both teams in solo tackles and finished third on the Seahawks in total tackles behind Devon Witherspoon (nine) and Ernest Jones (eight). Love is up to 18 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes across three regular-season games.

Josh Jobe CB | SEA
Seahawks' Josh Jobe: Collects half sack vs. Arizona
Jobe logged five tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense during Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals.
Jobe was one of five Seahawks players to play all 67 defensive snaps Thursday. He finished in a three-way tie for third most tackles on the team, and he combined with Devon Witherspoon for a seven-yard sack on Kyler Murray late in the third quarter. It was the first sack of Jobe's four-year NFL career, and he has started the regular season with 22 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses (one interception) through four games.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Michael Carter: Moves back to practice squad
Carter reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Carter was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season in the wake of James Conner's season-ending foot injury. However, Carter logged just four snaps on offense and one play on special teams during Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks, and his only carry for one yard on third down in the middle of the second quarter was followed by a Blake Gillikin punt. Trey Benson (37 of 67 offensive snaps) and Emari Demercado (26) handled the bulk of the backfield reps, with the former turning 13 touches into 54 yards from scrimmage and the latter recording 21 total yards and a receiving TD on his four touches. While Carter can be elevated two more times, he doesn't appear to be an immediate candidate to contribute to the Cardinals' running game.

Uchenna Nwosu LB | SEA
Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu: Sees increased work Week 4
Nwosu logged five tackles (three solo) during the Seahawks' 23-20 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.
Nwosu served in a rotational role at linebacker in the two games entering Thursday's NFC West bout. However, he played a season-high 38 snaps on defense, most of which came after DeMarcus Lawrence left the game due to a thigh injury that he suffered late in the first quarter. Nwosu would be in line to start in Week 5 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 5 if Lawrence is unable to play.

Rob Havenstein OT | LAR
Rams' Rob Havenstein: In line to play Week 4
Havenstein (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Although Havenstein is listed as questionable, head coach Sean McVay relayed Friday that he "feels good" about the veteran offensive lineman's chances of suiting up Sunday. Warren McClendon or D.J. Humphries would be candidates to take over at right tackle if Havenstein was unable to play.
