Werner (neck) is active for Monday night's matchup with Atlanta.

Werner suffered a neck injury during the team's Week 3 loss to Las Vegas, but he is all set to play Monday. The linebacker has registered 21 total tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over three contests so far this season.

Greenard (ankle) is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Greenard played just 19 defensive snaps against Los Angeles before suffering his injury. If he needs to miss time, Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa would be next in line for snaps off the edge opposite Nolan Smith. Greenard is still looking for his first sack of the season after recording just 3.0 sacks with Minnesota in 2025.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Saints but will serve as the emergency quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Rush started the Falcons' first two regular-season games before being sidelined due to the return of Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa from their respective knee and oblique issues. The quarterback will remain the emergency third option behind the two active players, entering the game only if both Penix and Tagovailoa cannot continue.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Saints' emergency third quarterback for Monday night's contest against the Falcons.

Wilson will operate as the team's No. 3 QB for the fourth game in a row to begin the 2026 campaign. Wilson will only be eligible to enter the contest if both starter Tyler Shough and top backup Spencer Rattler are forced out of the game.

Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Lane (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season.

Lane suffered a gruesome ankle injury returning a kickoff in Sunday's loss to the Colts in London and had to be carted off. It was clear at the time that he wasn't going to be back this season. Dyami Brown took over as the Commanders' primary kick returner following Lane's injury.

Fant (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons.

Despite being a limited practice participant during Week 4 prep, Fant will miss his first contest of the campaign due to an abdominal injury. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch thus will serve as the reserve tight ends behind starter Juwan Johnson on Monday. Fant's next chance to play is this coming Sunday versus the Vikings.

McConkey (foot), per head coach Jim Harbaugh, is "week-to-week," Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

McConkey suited up for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks despite dealing with a foot injury throughout the week, but he was forced from the game with the same issue, and Harbaugh's comment Monday indicates he could miss some time. More about McConkey's status will be known when the Chargers next release an official injury report Wednesday, but should McConkey wind up sidelined, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris would presumably be Justin Herbert's clear top two options at the wideout spots.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that White (shoulder) "should" practice this week, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

White sat out the entirety of Week 4 prep before being ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Colts in London as he deals with a shoulder injury. The Commanders resume practicing Wednesday, after which his activity level, if any, will become known. In three contests this season, White has 31 touches for 151 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders continue to assess what McLaurin (hamstring) may be able to do at Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Washington added McLaurin to its Week 4 practice report Friday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which ultimately sidelined him for Sunday's loss to the Colts in London. Quinn said afterward that McLaurin "pushed to play" in that contest, but the team ended up exercising caution with the wide receiver, per Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. McLaurin thus seems to be the "day-to-day" category with his health concern, and Wednesday's injury report will unveil how much work, if any, he's able to handle.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders are aiming for Daniels (left elbow) to have a full practice week and then start Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

The timing of Daniels' likely return to action is fortuitous for Washington after fill-in QB Marcus Mariota was knocked out of Sunday's defeat to the Colts in London and eventually diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee, per Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. Daniels has missed the last games after dislocating his left elbow for the second time in as many seasons back in Week 2. Wednesday's injury report will reveal if Daniels indeed is kicking off Week 5 prep with a full practice.
