Green (head) has returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Green was being evaluated by medical staff for a possible concussion after taking a hit to the head. He has been cleared by trainers to return and is back on the field for the fourth quarter.

Jared Goff QB | DET
Lions' Jared Goff: Tosses two TDs in Week 3 win
Goff completed 25 of 32 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets. He added six rushing yards on four carries.
The veteran QB found Amon-Ra St. Brown for a four-yard score in the second quarter and Jahmyr Gibbs for an 11-yard TD inside the final two minutes of the fourth for the game-winning points. Goff has tossed multiple touchdowns in three straight games to begin the year, completing 70.6 percent of his passes (77-for-109) for 802 yards and a stellar 8:0 TD:INT. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 4 road clash against the Panthers.

Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT
Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Improved performance in division win
Rodgers completed 19 of 34 passes for 292 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 10 yards in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
After averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt while completing a sparse 59.5 percent of his passes over the first two games of the season, Rodgers begin clicking in Mike McCarthy's offense Sunday. The future Hall of Famer averaged 8.6 yards per attempt and had five completions of 22 yards or more while connecting with nine different pass catchers overall. Rodgers distributed the ball on his three touchdown passes as well, hitting Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek and DK Metcalf from 38, 23 and six yards out, respectively. Rodgers' passing yardage total was a season high despite his completion total being his lowest through three games, and he'll look to carry the momentum into a Week 4 road matchup against an aggressive Browns defense on Thursday night.

Markquese Bell SAF | DAL
Cowboys' Markquese Bell: Back in action
Bell (dehydration) has returned to Sunday's contest against Baltimore, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Bell was briefly sidelined while battling dehydration, but he has now made his way back out onto the field. The safety is operating in a starting role in the absence of Malik Hooker (forearm) and P.J. Locke (foot), and he will look to leave his mark during the final stretch of Sunday's matchup.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Salvages day with TD in Week 3 win
St. Brown caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
The star wideout tied Jaymyr Gibbs to lead the Lions in targets, but St. Brown did little with his volume aside from a four-yard TD strike from Jared Goff in the second quarter. It was still St. Brown's fifth score of the season in three games, to go along with 23 catches for 228 yards on 35 targets. He'll likely get plenty of looks from Goff again in Week 4 on the road against the Panthers.

Jahmyr Gibbs RB | DET
Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Makes three more trips to end zone Sunday
Gibbs carried the ball 20 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns while catching seven of eight targets for 65 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Jets.
That's now six trips to the end zone in three games to begin the season for Gibbs, who ran it in from 17 yards and one yard before hauling in a game-winning 11-yard toss from Jared Goff inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. Gibbs has added 463 scrimmage yards to his ledger as well, more than earning his spot at the top of preseason draft boards. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 4 road clash against the Panthers.

Travis Etienne RB | NO
Saints' Travis Etienne: Heads to locker room due to injury
Etienne (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.
Etienne was favoring one of his legs after a 16-yard run in the second half and went to the locker room shortly after going into the injury tent. It's unclear if this injury is connected to the hamstring injury that limited Etienne's practice participation during the week leading up to Sunday's game. Etienne had 13 carries for 57 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards prior to getting hurt. His return can be considered questionable, with Alvin Kamara next in line for touches out of the backfield.

Gracen Halton DT | SF
49ers' Gracen Halton: Exits game with ankle injury
Halton (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Arizona, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Halton had to be helped off the field by trainers after sustaining an ankle injury, and he's been taken to the locker room for further evaluation. Naquan Jones, Kevin Givens and Sebastian Valdez are all in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Halton is out of the game.

DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Steelers' DK Metcalf: First TD of season in win
Metcalf brought in three of five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 30-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Metcalf once again put together a very modest receiving line, but the veteran wideout managed to deliver his first touchdown of the season on a six-yard grab late in the third quarter. Metcalf's high-water mark through three games is the four-catch, 40-yard tally he managed in Week 1 against the Falcons, but with Aaron Rodgers and the passing attack as a whole looking much more cohesive Sunday, there's some hope for an uptick in production during a Week 4 road matchup against the Browns on Thursday night.
