Hargrave (chest) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

The veteran defensive lineman upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice Friday, suggesting he's moved past his chest issue in time to face the Steelers on Sunday morning. Hargrave has recorded 11 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across his first three games as a Viking. He's expected to start opposite Jonathan Allen in Week 4.

Coach Mike Vrabel noted Friday that Stevenson is not being "disciplined" per se in the wake of the running back's fumbling issues last week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Stevenson lost two fumbles in the team's Week 3 loss to the Steelers and ended up with four carries for 18 yards and three catches for 38 yards in the contest. While Vrabel indicated that he doesn't plan to bench Stevenson (who has started all three of New England's game to date) Sunday against the Panthers, it's still possible that ball security could factor into how the carries are divided between Stevenson, Antonio Gibson (seven carries, with a fumble versus Pittsburgh) and TreVeyon Henderson (11 carries, no fumbles Week 3). In that context, Stevenson profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in Week 4 lineups.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The Youngstown State product sustained a knee injury in Tennessee's Week 2 loss to the Rams and hasn't practiced since, making it no surprise that he'll remain out Sunday. Julius Chestnut is expected to serve as the Titans' second kick returner while Oliver is out in Week 4.

Chaisson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Chaisson has logged 76 percent of the defensive snaps through three games for the Patriots, recording seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four QB hits. Keion White, Anfernee Jennings (hamstring) and Elijah Ponder would be next in line for snaps if Chaisson is unable to play.

Gonzalez (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Gonzalez is looking to make his 2025 season debut against Carolina after he took "most of the reps" in practice this week, according to coach Mike Vrabel, via Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Gonzalez would likely see a heavy dose of Tetairoa McMillan (calf) on Sunday if Gonzalez is cleared to play.

Wilson (ankle/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson logged consecutive DNPs to open the Patriots' week of practice, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined in Week 4. Expect 2024 third-round pick Caedan Wallace to serve as the team's top left guard in Wilson's stead Sunday.

Hall (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The 2024 second-round pick from Ohio State is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game to open the season. Expect Adin Huntington to play increased snaps as a reserve defensive lineman while Hall remains sidelined Sunday.

With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mitchell is expected to see increased playing time on offense.

Mitchell has played just 23 percent of the offensive snaps through three games as the Colts' fourth WR, but with Pierce sidelined, Mitchell figures to play a prominent role in two- and three-wide sets on the outside opposite Michael Pittman with Josh Downs manning the slot. Mitchell has been targeted eight times on his limited playing time this season, catching four passes for 41 scoreless yards. Mitchell has all the physical traits to be a difference-making wideout, and he'll get a chance to show it in a possible shootout against Los Angeles.

Mullings (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The 2025 sixth-round pick from Michigan played through an ankle injury in the Titans' Week 3 loss to the Colts, logging eight special-teams snaps. However, he began Tennessee's week of practice with consecutive DNPs and has now shifted to IR, suggesting the injury worsened in Week 3. With Mullings out for at least the Titans next four games, the team is down to just two healthy running backs on the active roster: Julius Chestnut and Tony Pollard.

Moore (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

The 30-year-old's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as he was expected to miss a couple of weeks after sustaining an Achilles injury in the Colts' Week 3 win over the Titans. With Moore sidelined in Week 4, Mekhi Blackmon and Johnathan Edwards could see increased playing time as slot corners.
