Fields (concussion) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Back-to-back full sessions have Fields trending toward a return to the lineup Monday night against the Dolphins, following a one-game absence. Saturday's final injury report will reveal whether the QB carries a Week 4 injury designation, but coach Aaron Glenn has already confirmed that if Fields is medically cleared (by progressing entirely through the NFL's concussion protocol), he will draw the start versus Miami.

Kraft (knee/elbow) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

He tweaked his knee during practice last Thursday but ended up playing 88 percent of snaps in a 13-10 loss to the Browns. With no injury designation this time around, Kraft figures to continue in his near-every-down role. His per-target efficiency is elite by TE standards for a second straight year, but it still seems difficult for any one Green Bay pass catcher to average more than 5-to-6 looks per game.

Buckner (back) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest versus the Rams.

Buckner has been limited by a back injury at practice throughout the week, sitting out Wednesday and Friday, while logging a limited session Thursday. The defensive lineman said Friday that he expects to play in Sunday's contest against Los Angeles, per James Boyd of The Athletic. If he ultimately can't go, Neville Gallimore and Eric Johnson would stand to see an increase in workload at defensive tackle in Week 4.

Waddle (shoulder) practiced fully Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Waddle has been dealing with a shoulder issue since Week 2 prep, but he's suited up the last two games and logged more than 80 percent of the offensive snaps both times en route to a combined 10-107-2 line on 12 targets during that span. After opening this week with a limited practice Thursday, he handled every rep one day later and thus is on pace for his typical workload Monday against the Jets.

Jacobs (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs has been a limited practice participant for two weeks now, with no sign so far of the ankle injury limiting his workloads come game day. He'll face a vulnerable Dallas defense this Sunday with the Packers favored by nearly a touchdown.

Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Reports suggest Lamb will miss multiple games and possibly even be placed on injured reserve, but the Cowboys waited until Friday to rule him out for Week 4. His absence leaves more playing time for WRs Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy, with WR George Pickens and TE Jake Ferguson also getting boosts in target-share projection.

Gould (illness) is questionable to play in Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Gould has battled an illness the last couple of days and missed practice Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. If the wide receiver can't go in Week 4, Ashton Dulin and Josh Downs would be top candidates to see an increase in workload on special teams.

Campbell (triceps) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Campbell was able to progress from a non-participant at Wednesday's practice to a full go for Friday's final session of the week. The linebacker has been dealing with an apparent triceps injury, but he now looks to be set to play Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Croskey-Merritt (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta after returning to full practice Friday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Following the upgrade to full participation, Croskey-Merritt's absences Wednesday and Thursday don't appear too concerning. Commanders coach Dan Quinn even said that the rookie looked good during Friday's practice, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Fantasy managers may still want to keep an eye on the situation, but it appears Croskey-Merritt will be ready for his committee role this Sunday, likely splitting backfield snaps with Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols again. The Commanders may need a lot from the group, as they're missing QB Jayden Daniels (knee), WR Terry McLaurin (quad), WR Noah Brown (groin) and TE John Bates (groin).

McKee (thumb) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

McKee will be back in his role as the primary reserve option at quarterback behind Jalen Hurts in Week 4. McKee had served as the team's emergency third QB each of the last two weeks while nursing a thumb injury.
