Taylor (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

Taylor suffered a quad injury in the first half, and his day will ultimately come to a premature end. The cornerback operates primary as a special-teams option, so his absence won't have much of an impact on Miami's defense.

Watson secured all three targets for 47 yards in the Packers' 17-14 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Watson led the Packers in receiving yards on an afternoon when Jordan Love threw for only 197 yards. The speedy wideout's reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all season lows, but Watson has still enjoyed a productive start to the campaign with a 20-331-4 line on 32 targets and good health throughout. Watson and the Packers' air attack as a whole will look for a boost in production at the expense of the division-rival Bears in a Week 5 home matchup next Sunday.

Johnson was inactive for Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams due to a personal issue, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Johnson was declared inactive ahead of Sunday's meeting with Los Angeles. While head coach Nick Sirianni indicated the veteran is dealing with a personal matter, he didn't elaborate. It appears there's a chance Johnson's absence will extend beyond Week 4. If that's the case, Markel Bell, who started versus the Rams, could continue to fill the void in the lineup.

Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 269 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding eight rushes for 54 yards in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday. He threw a two-point conversion pass and committed three fumbles, losing one and recovering the other two.

Maye's eclectic stat line was reflective of New England's topsy-turvy win, one where the Patriots overcame a 17-7 halftime deficit and recorded the game-winning touchdown with 1:50 remaining to seal the comeback victory. The previously embattled 2024 first-round pick's day started off in positive fashion with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs to cap off New England's first possession, and he went back to Doubs from two yards out in the third quarter to bring New England within three. However, the Patriots were in danger of falling to 1-3 on the season when they found themselves down 26-21 as late as the two-minute warning, but Maye was able to connect with Efton Chism for a 23-yard scoring strike that the young receiver snared with one hand down the right sideline with 1:50 remaining. Maye's performance was a much needed bounce-back effort after he went into the game having thrown for no more than 208 yards in any of his first three games while generating a 1:6 TD:INT, and he'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 5 home showdown against the surprisingly resurgent Raiders next Sunday.

Smith completed eight of 15 pass attempts for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Smith threw for just 18 yards in the first half as the Jets took a 13-3 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get much better offensively after halftime, except for Smith's 58-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter. Smith has a 5:0 TD:INT and is averaging 226 passing yards heading into a Week 5 home game against the Browns.

Sadiq (back) didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Sadiq played through a questionable tag and tied Garrett Wilson for the team lead in targets, but the rookie first-round pick failed to record a catch as Geno Smith completed only eight passes. The Jets' banged-up offense will try to bounce back when they return home for Week 5 against the Browns. Sadiq had 105 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Lions but has recorded only 38 receiving yards across the other three outings of his young NFL career.

Allen rushed 14 times for 59 yards and caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Allen accounted for all 14 of the Jets' rushing attempts in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps), who is considered week-to-week. The Bears dominated time of possession as Geno Smith completed just eight passes in the loss. If Hall isn't ready to return in Week 5 against the Browns, Allen would retain the lead role in the backfield for the Jets.

Wilson caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 23-12 loss to the Bears.

Wilson accounted for two of Geno Smith's three completions in the first half, and the star wide receiver finished with a team-high three catches as Smith completed only eight passes in a forgettable performance from New York's offense. Heading into Sunday's loss, Wilson had been averaging seven catches for 81 receiving yards per game. Wilson and the Jets will try to bounce back from this dud in Week 5 against the Browns.

Allen completed 23 of 33 passes for 253 yards with a touchdown and an interception and added five carries for four yards and another score in the Bills' 29-26 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Allen lost No. 1 receiver DJ Moore to a shoulder injury in the first half, but he still put together a serviceable passing line that included a 34-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman with just over four minutes remaining that erased a 21-20 deficit. That scoring play was preceded by Allen's two-yard touchdown run late in the first half, already his seventh rushing score of the campaign. However, Allen was also responsible for snuffing out Buffalo's last chance at a comeback after New England had answered his touchdown pass with a score of their own, as he threw an interception on a deep pass intended for Joshua Palmer with 1:14 remaining. The star signal-caller will aim to atone in a tough Week 5 road showdown against the Rams on Monday night, Oct. 12.

Darrisaw (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Miami.

Darrisaw managed to walk off the field, though it's unknown if he will return Sunday. If not, Ryan Van Demark could be looking at more snaps.
