Palmer (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Palmer has yet to play this season, and it's unclear if he'll be active Sunday against Buffalo, though it's worth noting Devaughn Vele has a hip injury that has him questionable to play.

Washington (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Washington missed the previous two games but will be back in the lineup as a depth wideout behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud. Washington has three catches for 33 yards this season.

Agnew (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Agnew is set to make his 2025 season debut after missing the first three games of the season. Look for Agnew's main contributions to come on special teams as the Falcons' return man.

Hodge (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hodge was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a groin injury in the Falcons' Week 3 loss to the Panthers, so his absence Sunday comes as no surprise. The 31-year-old has played 59 total snaps (40 on special teams, 19 on offense) through three games this season, failing to catch his lone target. While Hodge is sidelined in Week 4, Jamal Agnew could see increased reps as a depth wide receiver.

Lamb (ankle) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lamb is expected to be ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers, as he's logged a trio of DNPs this week following last Sunday's ankle injury against the Bears. Expect the Cowboys to rely on George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy at wide receiver while Lamb is out.

Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The Youngstown State product sustained a knee injury in Tennessee's Week 2 loss to the Rams and hasn't practiced since, making it no surprise that he'll remain out Sunday. Julius Chestnut is expected to serve as the Titans' second kick returner while Oliver is out in Week 4.

With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mitchell is expected to see increased playing time on offense.

Mitchell has played just 23 percent of the offensive snaps through three games as the Colts' fourth WR, but with Pierce sidelined, Mitchell figures to play a prominent role in two- and three-wide sets on the outside opposite Michael Pittman with Josh Downs manning the slot. Mitchell has been targeted eight times on his limited playing time this season, catching four passes for 41 scoreless yards. Mitchell has all the physical traits to be a difference-making wideout, and he'll get a chance to show it in a possible shootout against Los Angeles.

Pierce (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

At this stage, Pierce remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, so his next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 5 against the Raiders. In Pierce's absence Sunday, Adonai Mitchell figures to see an expanded Week 4 role alongside fellow WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Brown (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

With Brown missing a second straight game and Terry McLaurin (quad) now unavailable, the Commanders are left with Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane, Luke McCaffrey and Chris Moore as the healthy wide receivers on their active roster.

Legette (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Patriots.

Legette, who was unable to practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 5 against the Dolphins. In Legette's absence this weekend, David Moore, Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne are candidates to see added Week 4 snaps alongside fellow WR Tetairoa McMillan (calf, questionable).
