Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Won't return Sunday
McMillan (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings, PewterReport.com reports.
McMillan left in the first quarter due to a left knee injury, which is severe enough for the third-year wideout to not return to Sunday's game. Tez Johnson and rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst are candidates to see a significant boost in offensive snaps in McMillan's absence.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Busy afternoon in loss
Chase brought in nine of 12 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Chase paced the Bengals in receptions, receiving yards and targets, taking his customary position at the top of the team's pass-catching corps. The All-Pro wideout recorded his touchdown on a three-yard grab with just under six minutes remaining in the first quarter to answer a Steelers opening-drive score, marking his third trip to the end zone already this season. Chase will aim to stay just as productive when the Jaguars pay a visit for a Week 4 showdown next Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes QB | KC
Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Tosses two TDs in Week 3 win
Mahomes completed 20 of 24 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins. He also rushed once for one yard.
Mahomes found Travis Kelce for a 48-yard gain on Kansas City's first offensive play to set up a Kenneth Walker rushing touchdown before linking up with Walker for a five-yard touchdown pass on the next drive to give the Chiefs a lead they wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. The star quarterback was intercepted later in the first half but bounced back with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Kelce in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs pulled away from the offensively challenged Dolphins. Mahomes will take a 3-0 record and 7:2 TD:INT into a Week 4 road game against the Raiders.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Making good progress
Collins (hamstring) is making good progress in his recovery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins was forced to miss Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury that he suffered Week 1. It was his second straight contest on the bench, but head coach DeMeco Ryans explained following Sunday's loss that the wide receiver has been "progressing really well," leaving the door open for a return in Week 4 for Collins.

De'Von Achane RB | MIA
Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Coach lacks optimism regarding knee injury
Head coach Jeff Hafley said after Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs that Achane's knee injury "does not sound very optimistic," but the running back will undergo additional testing to determine the extent of the issue, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Achane lasted a shade more than four minutes of game time before he exited with what eventually was termed a knee injury, which didn't allow him to return. Hafley's comments indicate Achane is very likely dealing with a serious health concern, but in the wake of Sunday's contest, the team lacks clarity regarding a diagnosis and prognosis. If Achane needs to miss time, Jaylen Wright (foot), who was inactive Sunday, and Ollie Gordon (20 touches for 55 total yards and one TD) would be the immediate candidates to fill in in Miami's backfield.

Jonathan Taylor RB | IND
Colts' Jonathan Taylor: Turns 25 touches into 72 yards
Taylor rushed 23 times for 68 yards while catching two of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.
Taylor racked up 25 touches as the Colts notched their first win of the season, but he failed to find much running room against Houston's stout front. He finished with a season-low 72 scrimmage yards and failed to score after opening the season with a pair of two-touchdown performances. The workhorse running back is averaging 25 touches per game heading into the Colts' Week 4 trip to London to take on the Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and Taylor's poised for another busy outing in the overseas clash between 1-2 teams.

Brian Burns LB | NYG
Giants' Brian Burns: Scheduled for MRI
Burns will undergo an MRI for a right knee injury that he sustained during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Burns had to be carted off the field after sustaining a right knee injury during he second half of Sunday's game. He's scheduled for an MRI later this evening, at which point the Giants will have a better sense of the recovery timeline for the veteran pass rusher. Kayvon Thibodeaux would be in line for a larger role defensively if Burns were to miss time.

Joe Burrow QB | CIN
Bengals' Joe Burrow: Critical turnover sullies solid day
Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 282 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for 13 yards in the Bengals' 30-27 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Burrow was impressive throughout the majority of the afternoon, taking just one sack from Pittsburgh's aggressive defense and connecting with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki for his trio of scoring tosses. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different targets overall on an afternoon he entered already down Andrei Iosivas (IR, thumb) and during which he then lost promising rookie Colbie Young (knee). However, a would-be game-tying or game-winning drive was also short-circuited by the franchise signal-caller, as he lost the handle on the ball on a sack with under a minute remaining, snuffing out any chance of Cincinnati being able to at least force overtime. The highly untimely turnover aside, Burrow has looked comfortable with an offensive approach that has him under center more often than previous seasons, and he'll next take aim at the Jaguars in a Week 4 home matchup next Sunday.

Breece Hall RB | NYJ
Jets' Breece Hall: Uncertain about severity of injury
Hall (thigh) outlined that he "felt something" when running before departing Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Lions, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Hall was forced out of the game in the fourth quarter after sustaining a leg injury while being tackled. The running back was unable to return to the contest, and he will likely undergo additional imaging to determine the severity of the injury. If he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Braelon Allen would stand to operate as the team's No. 1 option in the backfield.

Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Questionable to return Sunday
McMillan (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Vikings.
McMillan torqued his left knee in the first quarter, and he was promptly removed from the contest. In his absence, rookie wideout Ted Hurst will stand to see an increase in opportunities versus Minnesota.
