Hunter played five offensive snaps in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Patriots.

He failed to see a target in the passing game for the second straight week and is clearly not in the team's plans on that side of the ball with everyone healthy at wideout. Hunter would likely need one or even two injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to see significant snaps on offense. On defense against New England, Hunter logged four tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup, including his first career regular-season interception.

Cosmi (concussion) isn't traveling with the Commanders to London and won't play Sunday versus Indianapolis.

Cosmi suffered a concussion in Week 2 against Dallas and wasn't able to play this past Sunday versus Seattle. He's now slated to miss a second straight game while remaining in concussion protocol. With Cosmi out Week 3, Nick Allegretti slid over to right guard while Lucas Patrick started at center.

Allen played 15 snaps on special teams and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Commanders' 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

After being limited mostly to garbage time through the first two games of the regular season, the rookie sixth-rounder didn't see the field on offense against Seattle. Allen saw a heavy workload during the preseason, but he figures to be an afterthought in the Commanders' offensive gameplan unless one of Jacory Croskey-Merritt or Rachaad White were to miss time. The Commanders head to London for a Week 4 tilt against the Colts this Sunday.

Okonkwo (hamstring) will travel with the Commanders to London ahead of the team's Week 4 game against the Colts this Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A hamstring injury has prevented Okonkwo from playing in each of the Commanders' last two games, leading to the team leaning more heavily on Ben Sinnott, John Bates and Colson Yankoff at tight end. Okonkwo's practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, as a full session would greatly increase his chances of being cleared to play against Indianapolis. He signed a three-year contract with the Commanders in March following four years with the Titans, and he finished the 2025 regular season with career highs in receptions (56), yards (560) and targets (79) across 17 games.

Daniels (elbow) is traveling with the Commanders to London ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As expected, Daniels will make the trip across the pond and participate in practices over the coming days. He has a lot of work ahead of him in order to be cleared to play Sunday as he continues to recover from a dislocated elbow, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Marcus Mariota get the starting nod for a second week in a row. Logging a full practice at least once this week would go a long way in Daniels' efforts to return to the field.

Butler is recovering from a concussion ahead of the Commanders' matchup in London against the Colts in Week 4, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

It's not immediately clear when Butler suffered the concussion, but his availability for Week 4 is now up in the air. In the event he can't suit up against Indianapolis, Tyler Owens could be in line to see a few snaps in the secondary.

Boutte hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards during the Texans' 19-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

For a second consecutive week, Boutte operated in an elevated role on offense due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Boutte's 37 offensive snaps actually led all Texans wide receivers, but he didn't see a target from C.J. Stroud until late in the fourth quarter, when the duo connected on back-to-back passes of 15 and six yards. Those two catches set the Texans up in the red zone and led to a Woody Marks one-yard rushing touchdown at the 1:50 mark. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on Monday, head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed optimism that Collins would be back for Week 4 against the Cowboys. Collins' practice participation in the coming days will shed light on what Boutte's workload may look like against Dallas this Sunday.

Kelly (knee) had a workout with the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Kelly ruptured his patella tendon in early December last year while playing for the Raiders. The Stanford product was subsequently placed on IR, and Las Vegas did not tender him during the offseason. Kelly appears to be recovered from the injury and is seeking another opportunity. Before getting hurt last season, he had emerged with a career-high three interceptions and six total defensed passes along with 40 tackles over 13 contests.

The Dolphins hosted Voorhis for a workout Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Jets waived Vorrhis from injured reserve with an injury settlement Aug. 26. The defensive end has recovered from his undisclosed issue and is looking to make his NFL debut in 2026. The undrafted free agent out of Ball State could provide additional depth to the Dolphins' defensive line from the practice squad.

Engram failed to haul in his two targets during the Broncos' 30-26 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Although he wasn't listed as a starter, Engram's 40 offensive snaps led all Broncos tight ends, including Adam Trautman (27). That's little comfort to those expecting Engram to at least see some involvement in the offense, with the veteran tight end sporting a 5-60-1 receiving line on eight targets through the first three games of the regular season. He's recorded at least 60 targets in each of his first nine NFL seasons, though he's well behind pace to meet that mark in 2026. Perhaps Engram's fortune will be better in Week 4 against the 49ers, whose defense gave up nine catches (on 11 targets) for 75 yards to Trey McBride in a Week 3 win over the Cardinals.
