Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Harris is "week-to-week" due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Harris entered Sunday as the Chargers' WR1 due to the absence of Quentin Johnston (chest) while Ladd McConkey (foot) was available only as an emergency option, per Insdorf. Harris caught two of four passes for 16 yards before sustaining a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to not return. Given Harbaugh's update, coupled with the Chargers' bye scheduled for Week 7, it seems likely that Harris will be held out for Week 6 against the Chiefs, with an eye toward being available for Week 8 against the Rams on Sunday, Nov. 1. Given the Chargers' injuries to the wide receiver position, the team will need to lean more heavily on Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Theo Wease, Derius Davis and tight ends Charlie Kolar and Oronde Gadsden in the passing game.

Nubin (neck) is considered day-to-day ahead of the team's Week 6 matchup with the Saints, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Nubin was forced to exit Sunday's 27-27 overtime tie with the Commanders in the fourth quarter with a neck injury. The safety appears to have avoided a major injury, and his status at practice Wednesday will provide more clarity towards his availability for Week 6 versus New Orleans.

Sills (hamstring) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Buccaneers on Monday, Scott Smith & Brianna Dix of the team's official website reports.

Sills has been on injured reserve since late August while nursing a hamstring injury, but he will now have the chance to return to practice. The wide receiver played in all 17 of the Falcons' regular-season contests in 2025, and once healthy, he'll provide Tampa Bay with another veteran option on offense.

Lake (hip) is active for Monday's game against the Bills, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Lake has been cleared to play through a hip injury after going through pregame warmups. The fifth-year pro has played every single defensive snap through Rams' first four games of the regular season, accumulating 29 tackles (18 solo), seven pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble in that span.

Simpson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback against the Bills on Monday, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Simpson will continue to operate as the Rams' emergency QB3, which means he cannot play Monday unless both Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Jackson (knee) is inactive against the Rams on Monday.

Jackson was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for the second-year pro to miss his first game of the regular season. Greg Gaines and DeWayne Carter are in line for more rotational reps on the Bills' defensive line due to Jackson's absence.

Alford (ankle) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams.

Alford drew the questionable tag for Monday night's game after logging a limited practice Saturday, but he'll end up missing his first game of the season due to an ankle injury that he sustained against the Patriots in Week 4. Damar Hamlin should see some more defensive snaps at the slot corner position in Alford's absence.

Moore (shoulder) is listed as inactive Monday at the Rams.

After suffering a shoulder injury in Week 4, Moore wasn't expected to be tending to a long-term issue, and head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News on Thursday that the wide receiver was "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week." Moore then managed just one limited session (Saturday) during Week 5 prep, which wasn't enough for him to gain clearance to play Monday. With both Moore and Joshua Palmer (shoulder) unavailable, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Greg Dortch, Skyler Bell and Trent Sherfield will handle WR reps for the Bills.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Juszczyk (knee) could return for the Week 6 matchup against the Commanders next Monday night, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Juszczyk's practice participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether the veteran fullback will return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury he sustained during the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Broncos. The 49ers will continue to rely on tight ends like Brayden Willis for more snaps as blockers in Juszczyk's absence.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Bosa (calf) "has a chance" to play against the Commanders next Monday night, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Bosa has missed the 49ers' last three games while tending to a calf injury. While he could return against Washington, Bosa's practice participation during Week 6 prep will ultimately determine whether he's cleared by medical staff to suit up. Mykel Williams and Romello Height will continue to get more reps at defensive end for as long as Bosa is sidelined.
