49ers' Mike Evans: Suffers rib strain Sunday
Evans (rib) is dealing with a rib strain after exiting Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Evans was knocked from the 49ers' Week 3 matchup after taking a hit to the midsection from Arizona safety Budda Baker in the second quarter and eventually was ruled out. He'll undergo a full evaluation Monday, after which a prognosis likely will become clearer. Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge are the team's available wide receivers with Evans unable to return.

49ers' Renardo Green: Possible concussion
Green is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Green took a hit to the head during the third quarter of Sunday's game and is now being evaluated by medical staff. Jack Jones is slated for more snaps at outside cornerback in Green's absence.

Markquese Bell SAF | DAL
Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Dealing with dehydration
Bell (dehydration) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Bell has been forced out of Sunday's matchup as a result of dehydration, and his availability for the rest of the game is now up in the air. Fellow safety Jalen Thompson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the rest of the game, so Dallas has become rather thin in the secondary.

Kenyon Sadiq TE | NYJ
Jets' Kenyon Sadiq: Catches first TD pass
Sadiq caught seven of eight passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions.
The rookie tight end made a spectacular play to haul in his first career TD reception in the second quarter, leaping from about the five-yard line and stretching out the full length of his 6-foot-3 frame to bring in a 24-yard pass from Geno Smith. Sadiq is very quickly making an impact with his athleticism, and through his first three NFL games he's compiled a 12-143-1 line on 14 targets while adding a three-yard score on his only carry. He'll look to continue building chemistry with Smith in a Week 4 road trip to Chicago.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Inefficient afternoon in loss
Hampton rushed 15 times for 56 yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Chargers' 24-16 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
The Chargers' No. 1 back got seven more carries than change-of-pace option Keaton Mitchell, but he was only able to outpace the latter by four yards. It was a disappointing downturn for Hampton, who'd broken out with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding a 2-21-0 receiving line against the Raiders in Week 2. The Chargers are now alarmingly 0-3 heading into a daunting Week 4 road matchup against the Seahawks, but Hampton figures to remain in a clear-cut lead role for that contest.

Quinshon Judkins RB | CLE
Browns' Quinshon Judkins: Productive in Week 3 win
Judkins rushed 18 times for 70 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Judkins took all but one of the Browns' running backs' carries, and he was able to capitalize on an injury-hampered Panthers defense to produce his best showing of the new season. Judkins still finished under 4.0 yards per carry, but after averaging under 3.0 in each of the first two games, Sunday's effort was certainly an improvement. Judkins and the surprising 2-1 Browns now have a quick turnaround for a Week 4 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Thursday night.

Geno Smith QB | NYJ
Jets' Geno Smith: Tosses three TDs in Week 3 loss
Smith completed 31 of 37 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions. He added 12 rushing yards on two carries and threw a two-point conversion.
The veteran QB was nearly flawless as the Jets nearly pulled off the upset, with his only turnover being a fumble on his fifth sack of the day late in the fourth quarter, ending his final possession. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to eight different targets and connecting with Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert and rookie first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq for his scores. Smith has been extremely efficient to begin the season, posting a 75.5 percent completion rate (77-for-102) with a 4:0 TD:INT and 7.7 YPA. He'll look to stay sharp in a Week 4 road trip to Chicago.

Mark Andrews TE | BAL
Ravens' Mark Andrews: Returns for second half
Andrews (hand) returned after halftime of Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Andrews missed some time in the second quarter due to a hand injury, but it won't stop him from rejoining Baltimore's offense after a spell in the locker room. He'll be looking to add to his one catch (on three targets) for nine yards prior to his exit.

Carl Granderson DE | NO
Saints' Carl Granderson: Exits game with ankle injury
Granderson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Granderson sustained the injury during the third quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. Myles Cole and Anfernee Jennings are in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Granderson is out of the game.
-
Trent Williams OT | SF
49ers' Trent Williams: Iffy to return due to stinger
Williams (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Williams was carted off the field and into the locker room during the third quarter, so he figures to be closer toward the doubtful side of returning to Sunday's contest. Venderian Lowe figures to take over at left tackle in Williams' absence.
