Sanders (groin) is expected to play Sunday versus the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sanders missed Friday's practice with the groin injury and is officially listed as questionable, but the health concern doesn't look as though it'll be significant enough to prevent him from playing Sunday. The Panthers will make Sanders' status official when they release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Last week versus Seattle with Andy Dalton under center and logging 58 pass attempts, Sanders had nine carries for 24 yards and a touchdown to go with five catches for 38 yards. The Panthers will get rookie No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young back from a one-game absence to start under center Week 4.

Chubb (knee, IR) underwent surgery to repair his torn MCL and meniscus Friday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The Browns announced Friday's surgery also repaired damage to Chubb's medial capsule. The star running back was injured back in Week 2 and will require a second surgery "in the coming months" to repair his ACL, per Kelsey Russo of the team's official site. The team believes Chubb will be able to return to play "at some point" in 2024. Cleveland recently brought back Kareem Hunt to work with Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong in its backfield. Deon Jackson also signed with the practice squad.

The Broncos elevated Washington to the active roster Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Since this is the third time the Broncos have called Washington up from the practice squad, the team will have to sign him to the active roster if it wishes to play him beyond Sunday's contest against the Bears. Washington has played 39 snaps in two contests -- all on special teams -- and is likely to reprise that role should he see the field in Week 4.

Clement was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The move corresponds with Keaontay Ingram (neck) being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the 49ers. If Ingram is ruled out, Clement could fill a depth backfield role behind James Conner and Emari Demercado.

Gordon was elevated to the Ravens' active roster Saturday.

Gordon saw his first action of the season in Week 3 against the Colts, and he rushed for 32 yards on 10 carries while adding two catches for 23 yards. This is the third time he has been elevated from the practice squad, which means that the Ravens would have to sign Gordon to their active roster if they wish to play him for the rest of the season. He's set to take on the RB3 role for Sunday's contest against the Browns, with Gus Edwards out of the NFL's concussion protocols and Justice Hill (foot) trending toward playing in a crucial divisional matchup.

The Commanders elevated Gore to the active roster Saturday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

The move corresponds with running back Chris Rodriguez (illness) ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. If Gore is active, he should fill in as the RB3 behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson

The Rams elevated Freeman to their active roster Saturday.

This is the third time Freeman has been elevated by the Rams this season, meaning that the team will have to sign him to their active roster if it wishes to play him for the rest of the season. The 2018 third-round pick has played exclusively on special teams in his two appearances and would figure to reprise that role against the Colts on Sunday if he sees the field.

Barkley (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Head coach Brian Daboll left the door open Saturday for Barkley to make a quick return despite a reported high-ankle sprain, but it appears as if the Pro Bowl back will not play Monday after a smattering of LP tags throughout the week. As a result, Matt Breida figures to be set up for a prominent role against Seattle, with Gary Brightwell likely also mixing into the rotation.

Ingram (neck) has drawn a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game in San Francisco, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Ingram popped up on the injury report as a limited participant Thursday. He subsequently missed Friday's practice, so he is not trending in the right direction. Still, final confirmation on his status is not likely to come until Sunday morning. Emari Demercado would be in line to back up James Conner in the backfield if Ingram is ultimately unable to suit up.

Hill (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, is trending toward playing against the Browns, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Hill was a full participant in Friday's practice, which does give some hope to fantasy managers that the running back will be active come Sunday. Expect Gus Edwards and Hill to split time in the backfield, with likely practice-squad callup Melvin Gordon also mixing in occasionally on passing downs. Expect the Ravens to confirm the status of the 25-year-old Hill prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
