McCaffrey caught each of his three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in a 41-24 win over Las Vegas on Sunday.

With Noah Brown (groin) inactive and Deebo Samuel playing less than usual, McCaffrey split snaps with Jaylin Lane on a day when Terry McLaurin (quad) and QB Marcus Mariota were Washington's only full-time players at the skill positions. McCaffrey scored his TD from 43 yards out in garbage time, against a Las Vegas defense that may have been expecting Washington to simply run out the clock. In any case, McCafrey could get another look Week 4 at Atlanta if McLaurin's quadriceps injury proves to be a real problem.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings (shoulder/ankle) is considered "day-to-day," Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings was able to play Week 2 with a shoulder injury that he suffered in the season opener, but he emerged from the second contest with an ankle issue that didn't allow him to practice last week. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but eventually was ruled out. Wednesday's session will mark Jennings' next chance to get his first on-field work since Week 1.

Rodriguez took 11 carries for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.

A healthy scratch the previous two weeks, Rodriguez jumped right into the starting lineup in Washington's first game since Austin Ekeler suffered an Achilles' tear. Rodriguez played every snap on the first two drives, taking five carries for 29 yards in the process, before giving way to Jacory Croskey-Merritt for the third and fourth series. Jeremy McNichols then subbed in and broke off a 60-yard touchdown, and it wasn't until the fourth quarter that Rodriguez got carries again. When all was said and done, Rodriguez played 39 percent of Washington's snaps on offense, tied with Croskey-Merritt and ahead of McNichols (26 percent). Rodriguez also had the most carries, though not quite a majority, and he finished without a target. The Commanders likely will deploy a three-man backfield again when they travel to Atlanta in Week 4.

Reynolds (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Ravens.

Reynolds has mostly served in a special-teams role through the first two games of the regular season. He'll observe Monday's game in street clothes as the Lions roll with a four-man backfield of Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors. Reynolds' next opportunity to play is Week 4 against the Browns on Sunday.

Reed (knee) is active for Monday's game against the Ravens.

Reed popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Lions' Week 2 blowout win over the Bears. He was able to log a full practice Saturday and has been cleared to play in Monday night's interconference clash. The veteran corner has logged 10 tackles (nine solo) through the first two games of the regular season.

Joseph (knee) is active for Monday night's game against Baltimore.

Joseph was able to play through a knee issue during the Lions' Week 2 win over the Bears, and he has been cleared to do so again Monday after logging limited practices all week. The 2022 third-rounder has opened the regular season with four tackles (three solo) and an interception across two games.

Campbell (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the Ravens.

Campbell has been working through an ankle injury that he suffered during the Lions' Week 1 loss to the Packers but has been cleared to play in Monday night's contest. The third-year linebacker has logged 18 tackles (nine solo) and a fumble recovery through the first two games of the regular season.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that the Seahawks are expected to sign Herbert to the practice squad.

The Seahawks are operating on a short week in facing the Cardinals on Thursday. With Zach Charbonnet (foot) in danger of missing a second consecutive game, the addition of Herbert would give Seattle added backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker if Charbonnet is inactive. Herbert logged 36 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown and 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 25 yards across 14 regular-season games in 2024 between the Bengals (eight) and Bears (six).

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jones is day-to-day after aggravating a PCL sprain in his left knee during Sunday's 16-15 win against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jones got another spot start for Brock Purdy (left shoulder/toe) in Week 3, completing 27 of 41 passes for 284 yards, one touchdown and one interception and losing one yard on his only carry. Late in the contest, though, Jones was visibly hobbled, and he told reporters afterward about the lingering knee issue, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Meanwhile, Shanahan also relayed to Wagoner on Monday that Purdy will resume practicing this week after doing so in a limited fashion last week. The 49ers likely will roll with whoever is healthiest among Purdy and Jones on Sunday against the Jaguars considering practice-squad member Adrian Martinez currently is the only other QB in San Francisco that's eligible to be on the active roster for game days.

Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Monday that Bosa is out for the season with an ACL injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Shanahan noted that there was no additional damage to Bosa's knee beyond an ACL tear, but the star defensive end nonethless faces a lengthy recovery period. In Bosa's absence, Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams and Yetur Gross-Matos are candidates to see added roles in the 49ers defense going forward, according to Vic Tafur, Dianna Russini and Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
