Head coach Jeff Hafley said Friday that Grant (leg) could begin practicing next week, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Grant opened the season on injured reserve and can return at any point after Sunday's Week 4 date with the Vikings, but his 21-day practice window has yet to open. The 2025 first-rounder was injured late in the summer during the preseason. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season, recording 33 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

Mitchell (finger) is out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt reports.

With Mitchell out last week, fellow wideout Isaiah Williams played 90 percent of snaps but drew just two targets on 39 routes. Sterling Shepard saw just one target on 22 routes as the No. 3 receiver, while WR Garrett Wilson got 13 targets and the tight ends combined for 14. Williams and Shepard could see a bit more volume this week, but the offense still figures to run through Wilson, the RBs and the TEs. As for Mitchell, his next chance to play will be Week 5 against Cleveland (Oct. 11).

Coker (quadriceps) is present for Friday's practice, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

After a DNP on Wednesday, Coker returned to practice Thursday to get in a limited session. His presence at Friday's session would suggest he's trending in the right direction for Sunday night's showdown with the Lions. He could be headed for a questionable tag, so fantasy managers need to have a backup plan in place in the event Coker isn't cleared to play.

Mauigoa (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Mauigoa will miss a second straight game after he was injured in the Jets' Week 2 loss to the Packers. Mauigoa has played just 24 snaps on special teams this season.

Hall (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game at Chicago, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Hall is considered week-to-week and hasn't practiced since making an early exit from last week's loss at Detroit. Braelon Allen will fill in as the Jets' lead back this Sunday, with Isaiah Davis also expected to have a role.

Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Taylor remained out of practice this week and will miss a second straight game. Provided he's healthy enough to play, Kenyon Sadiq (back) should handle more of the workload at tight end once again for the Jets after he secured seven of eight targets for 105 yards and a touchdown last Sunday against Detroit.

Douglas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Douglas will remain sidelined for a second straight contest, allowing fellow rookie Chris Bell to handle an increased role on offense alongside Malik Washington. Bell turned eight targets into four catches for 67 yards last Sunday against the Chiefs while playing 71.2 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps.

Mariota will start at quarterback for the Commanders in Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Jayden Daniels (elbow) practiced this week but was ruled out for Week 4, so Mariota will start under center for the second time in as many weeks. Mariota threw for only 183 yards but tossed three touchdowns in his team's Week 3 victory over the Seahawks, and he will now square off against a Colts team that ranks 30th in the league in passing yards allowed per game.

Daniels (elbow), per head coach Dan Quinn, was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts in London, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Daniels was able to practice on a limited basis this week -- "a huge step," Quinn said also via Jhabvala -- but the Commanders will sideline him for a second straight contest and give Marcus Mariota another start. It's unclear exactly how close Daniels is to returning to the field, but the door is seemingly open for him to get back out there in Week 5 against the Giants.

White (shoulder) did not participate in Friday's practice session.

White's shoulder injury prevented him from taking part in Washington's first two practices of the week, and per head coach Dan Quinn it also prevented him from getting any reps Friday. The team has not yet released its final injury report for Week 4, but it's looking like White will be unavailable for Sunday's matchup with the Colts in London.
