Trotter (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Buccaneers' estimated injury report Monday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Trotter was able to return to action Sunday against the Packers after a one-week absence with a shoulder injury. The linebacker notched nine total tackles (seven solo) in the team's 17-14 loss to Green Bay, but he may have picked up a knee injury along the way. Trotter will have two more chances to be upgraded to a full participant before Thursday night's matchup with Dallas.

Davis logged a four-yard carry, a three-yard reception and returned one kickoff for 29 yards during the Bills' 29-26 loss to the Patriots in Week 4.

Both of Davis' offensive outputs came on back-to-back plays early in the second quarter, and his four snaps on offense were well behind starter James Cook (35) and backup Ty Johnson (19). Even as a returner, Davis took a back seat to Greg Dortch, the latter of whom returned four kickoffs for 91 yards and two punts for 16 yards. Davis' production on offense and special teams will continue to be limited unless one of Cook, Johnson or Dortch were to miss time.

The Chargers opened Matlock's (undisclosed) 21-day return window Monday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

The Chargers placed Matlock on IR with a designation to return in late August. The team now has until Oct. 26 to return the fullback to the active roster, or he will spend the entirety of the 2026 season on IR. Matlock played 16 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2025, logging four receptions for 12 yards and a touchdown over 333 offensive snaps.

Key (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Colts' matchup with Pittsburgh in Week 5, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Key suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's win over Washington, and he's set to "miss some time," according to manager Shane Steichen. In his absence, JT Tuimoloau and Caden Curry will stand to see an increase in opportunities on the defensive line versus the Steelers in Week 5.

James (hamstring) is considered week-to-week ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with Denver, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

James was unavailable for Sunday's 30-23 loss to Seattle while nursing a hamstring issue, and head coach Jim Harbaugh outlined that the safety may need to miss more action moving forward. James was a limited participant at practice throughout the last week, and he'll likely have to log a full practice in order to avoid an injury designation before the team's contest against the Broncos in Week 5.

The Rams are hopeful that Watson (shoulder) will return to practice for Week 5 preparation, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reported Monday.

Watson dislocated his shoulder during the Rams' Week 3 loss to the Broncos. The cornerback was unable to play in the team's Week 4 win over the Eagles and has not practiced since sustaining the injury. The Rams hope Watson can participate in Week 5 prep and suit up for Monday's game against the Bills.

Wingard suffered a bone bruise in his knee during Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Wingard was carted off the field in the first half of the team defeat, and he was ultimately unable to return to the contest. The safety avoided a ligament injury, but his timeline to return to action is currently uncertain. Wingard has compiled 23 total tackles (10 solo), an interception and a forced fumble over four contests to open the season, and in his absence, Wydett Williams will stand to operate in a prominent role in Arizona's secondary.

Cisse (neck) was not placed in the league's concussion protocol following Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Cisse also suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game, but the good news for the rookie second-rounder is that he passed tests to avoid being moved into concussion protocol. Head coach Matt LaFleur does not view Cisse's neck injury as a long-term issue, so the 21-year-old cornerback could be available for Week 5 against the Bears, depending on what his practice participation looks like over the coming days.

Bosa (calf) is unlikely to be ready for the 49ers' Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Bosa remains week-to-week with a calf injury and is not expected to be ready for Sunday's divisional matchup. The star defensive end will likely once again ride the bench as Ogbo Okoronkwo starts across from Keion White against the Super Bowl 60 champs.

Sigle is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle injury that he sustained during the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Sigle sustained the injury late in the first quarter while on kickoff coverage and was not on the field for the 49ers' final defensive drive of the game. It wouldn't be surprising if the second-year pro goes on injured reserve, and in his absence, Malik Mustapha figures to be the next man up at safety next to Ji'Ayir Brown, with Siran Neal and Ashtyn Davis both providing depth at the position.
