Molden (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Molden has been battling a hamstring injury but will avoid another absence in Week 4. As a result, RJ Mickens and Genesis Smith should see fewer snaps.

Wiley (coach's decision) is inactive against the Raiders on Sunday.

Wiley will once again be a healthy scratch, and his next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Chargers on Oct. 18. The Chiefs will go with Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Jake Briningstool as the active tight ends for Sunday's AFC West showdown.

Hockenson could be in line for an increase in targets during Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins due to Justin Jefferson being ruled inactive for the contest.

Hockenson's 2026 campaign has gotten off to a reasonably productive start, as the veteran tight end has posted a 9-76-1 line on 13 targets through three games. While Hockenson didn't reap any tangible benefit from Jefferson's early exit during the Week 3 win over the Buccaneers -- the former recorded two receptions for 11 yards on four targets -- there's a possibility he's a lot more involved against a Dolphins team that's surrendered 15 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns to tight ends, along with an 88.2 percent catch rate.

Nussmeier (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Raiders on Sunday.

Nussmeier will once again be the Chiefs' emergency QB3, meaning the rookie seventh-rounder is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Patrick Mahomes and Justin Fields leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Okada (hamstring) is inactive against the Chargers on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Okada will end up missing each of the first four games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury. He was able to return to practice Thursday as a limited participant, so he's trending in the right direction and could be available for Week 5 against the 49ers on Sunday, Oct. 11. Rodney Thomas will continue to start alongside Julian Love at safety in Okada's absence.

Kaliakmanis completed 15 of 33 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts. He added 16 yards on three carries.

The 2026 seventh-round pick out of Rutgers began the game as the backup to Marcus Mariota with Jayden Daniels (elbow) still out, but Kaliakmanis quickly got pressed into duty for his first NFL action when Mariota injured his knee on a sack in the first quarter and was unable to return. Kaliakmanis didn't play too badly under the circumstances and took some shots down the field, one of which went for a 47-yard touchdown to Treylon Burks in the third quarter, but his inexperience showed as the deficit grew. Daniels is aiming to return to the lineup in Week 5 at home against the Giants, but Kaliakmanis could find himself back in the No. 2 role depending on the severity of Mariota's injury -- and he might be in line for his first career NFL start if Daniels doesn't get cleared.

Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Chargers on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Because Milroe is the emergency QB3, the second-year pro is now allowed to play Sunday unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

James (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks.

James was mostly limited during practice throughout the week, resulting in a questionable designation for Sunday's meeting with Seattle. However, James won't be available in Week 4, meaning Tony Jefferson and Genesis Smith should see considerably more defensive snaps.

Greenlaw (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Greenlaw has been officially cleared by medical staff to play Sunday, with the veteran linebacker being limited in practice by a quadriceps injury. He'll start alongside Fred Warner and Jaden Dugger at linebacker while Luke Gifford and Garret Wallow provide depth at the position.

Jennings is in line to see a boost in targets as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, due to Justin Jefferson (hamstring) being ruled inactive for the contest.

Jennings' Vikings tenure has gotten off to an utterly forgettable start, as the veteran receiver has just one reception for one yard on three targets through two games. While Jennings was unable to capitalize on Jefferson's early exit from a Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, the former did log a season-high 47 snaps and ran 24 routes during the contest. Both numbers -- along with Jennings' target share -- will be in line to increase against Miami with Jefferson out, although the possibility Minnesota eventually has the luxury of turning to a run-heavy approach in the second half is also high considering the generally uncompetitive current state of the Dolphins.
