Woods (shoulder) exited Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He finished with two tackles (one solo).

Ethan Hurwitz of Patriots on SI reported Woods suffered a stinger, though the 24-year-old stated, "he's feeling great." However, despite the positive update, he could carry an injury designation heading into the Week 5 meeting with the Raiders. Woods had 16 total tackles (13 solo) and one pass defended in the first three games of the 2026 campaign.

Adams caught four of nine targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles.

Adams took a back seat to Puka Nacua (hip), who caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards and scored a two-yard rushing touchdown in the latter's return from a two-game absence. In two games alongside Nacua, Adams has just 58 receiving yards, compared to 332 yards and two touchdowns across the two games Nacua missed. With Nacua available, Adams is likely to play second fiddle again in Week 5 against the Bills.

Tuten rushed 17 times for 73 yards and brought in both targets for 18 yards in the Jaguars' 22-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Tuten filled his usual role as the clear lead option in Jacksonville's ground attack with aplomb, grinding out tough yards on many of his carries and also contributing a 20-yard run. He also recorded multiple receptions for the third consecutive game, and although he saw backfield mate Chris Rodriguez score the Jaguars' only rushing touchdown of the day, that came on a breakaway run from 25 yards out as opposed to in close. Tuten has at least 15 carries in three of his first four games heading into a Week 5 showdown against the Eagles in London next Sunday.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said that Johnson is dealing with a biceps injury after Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants, Darren Urban of the team's official sitereports.

Johnson was also seen wearing an arm sling in the postgame locker room Sunday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. The 25-year-old started all 43 of his regular-season appearances over the previous three seasons. The starting left tackle will look to get healthy before the Week 5 contest versus Detroit on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Rice officially sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.

Rice grabbed at his hamstring at the end of a seven-yard catch that was negated due to a penalty on the Raiders defense, limping to the sideline before the Chiefs ruled him questionable to return. For as long as Rice is off the field, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen figure to pick up the slack in the WR corps.

Burrow completed 39 of 54 passes for 428 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for six yards and another score in the Bengals' 22-17 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Cincinnati.

Burrow's passing yardage total was made all the more noteworthy by the fact he lost Ja'Marr Chase to a concussion in the first half. The prolific 2020 first-round pick put up new season highs in completions, pass attempts and passing yards, while also generating his first multi-interception tally of the campaign. The first of Burrow's picks came right after the two-minute warning in the first half at the Jaguars' 37-yard line and led to a Jacksonville touchdown. Nevertheless, he continued to battle as the Bengals trailed throughout the rest of the contest, and despite also losing Tee Higgins to an adductor injury with just under six minutes remaining, Burrow drove Cincinnati all the way down to the Jags' nine-yard line before losing the ball on downs with 56 seconds remaining. Prior to that point, Burrow had put his team in position for a potential game-winning touchdown via a 15-yard scoring toss to Mike Gesicki in the third quarter and a one-yard QB sneak with just over three minutes remaining for his first rushing score of the season. Burrow and the Bengals will look to regroup and get Chase and Higgins back for a Week 5 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Cisse suffered a neck injury and was also evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Buccaneers, Zach Jacobson of the team's official site reports. He finished with six total tackles (five solo).

The Packers defense took a beating Sunday, with Cisse exiting the contest due to multiple injuries. The 2026 No. 52 overall pick could carry an injury designation ahead of the NFC North clash with the Bears in Week 5, assuming he's not ruled out altogether before then. If Cisse can't suit up for that one, Carrington Valentine could continue to see more snaps.

Rice suffered an apparent hamstring injury during Sunday's game in Las Vegas, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

Rice exhibited a limp while clutching at his hamstring while going to the sideline in the first quarter. The precise nature of the issue isn't known, but he wasn't targeted before his exit.

Irving rushed 16 times for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Irving was surprisingly held without a single target in the narrow loss, despite rookie quarterback Jaydon Daniels being under center and the third-year running back being a highly trustworthy safety valve out of the backfield. Irving worked hard for his yards on the ground as well, with his longest run of the day going for only seven yards. Irving has yet to eclipse 89 rushing yards in any of his first four games, and with reports Baker Mayfield may be in line for close to a two-month absence due to his thumb injury, the former may have to get accustomed to running against loaded defensive fronts for the foreseeable future.

Winfield exited Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers with an abdomen/ribs injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Winfield logged six tackles (five solo) before departing in the fourth quarter, and he did not appear to return before the end of the contest. The 2023 All-Pro has been a significant piece of Tampa Bay's defense for the last seven years, and he recorded 93 tackles and eight passes defended, including two interceptions, over 16 regular-season games last season. Winfield will have to recover on a short turnaround with the Buccaneers playing on Thursday Night Football against Dallas in Week 5.
