Bentley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

The rookie seventh-rounder has yet to suit up for a regular-season game. His next chance to do so is Week 5 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 11.

O'Connell (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Raiders' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

As the emergency QB3, O'Connell is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Uiagalelei (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus Seattle, though he is listed as the team's emergency quarterback.

Trey Lance (groin) is available to suit up in Week 4, meaning Uiagalelei will be a healthy scratch. However, if Lance and Justin Herbert exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection, Uiagalelei will serve as the team's emergency signal-caller.

Humphrey (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Humphrey injured his calf in the first half, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran corner to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Chidobe Awuzie will continue to operate in an elevated role defensively in Humphrey's absence.

Downs caught three of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders.

Even with Alec Pierce (heel) and Keenan Allen (groin) on the shelf, Downs wound up getting a season low in targets as Indianapolis didn't need to pass the ball much against a Washington team that lost Marcus Mariota (knee) in the first quarter, putting seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis under center. Through four games, Downs is still looking for his first trip to the end zone, posting a 17-202-0 line on 28 targets. He figures to be busier in Week 5 on the road in Pittsburgh.

Lance (groin) is active for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Lance was listed as questionable but will shed the tag and suit up in Week 4. With Lance cleared to play, DJ Uiagalelei is inactive, though he will serve as the team's emergency signal-caller if necessary.

Jones completed 19 of 34 passes for 143 yards and an interception in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Commanders. He added two yards and a rushing touchdown on four carries while committing a fumble.

The two turnovers came in the first half, sandwiched around three possessions that ended in punts, but Jones settled down the rest of the way and put points on the board on six of the Colts' final seven drives. His fourth-quarter rushing TD was Jones' first of the year, but his 3:4 TD:INT remains poor, especially when combined when three lost fumbles in four games. He'll try to find some consistency and reduce his mistakes in Week 5 on the road in Pittsburgh.

Vorhees (foot) won't return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Vorhees made his first start of the 2026 campaign Sunday. However, his day is now finished due to a foot injury. With Vorhees ruled out, Emery Jones took over and will handle things the rest of the way.

Waddle (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Following the Broncos' Week 3 win over the Rams, Waddle was spotted with his walking boot on his right foot, but he wasn't inhibited by the injury during Week 4 prep. He was a full participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, clearing the way for him to head into the weekend without a designation. Waddle isn't expected to face any restrictions with his snaps Sunday.

Evans (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Evans managed just one limited practice this week after exiting the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals due to an injury that's been characterized as both fractured ribs and a rib strain, but he'll attempt to play through any discomfort this Sunday. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports noted earlier Sunday that Evans will be wearing a protective covering over his ribs, and assuming his injury doesn't worsen during the contest, the wideout will be slated to play his normal allotment of snaps.
