Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.

Jefferson wasn't able to practice this week due to the ankle injury that forced him out of this past Sunday's win at Tampa Bay. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday, Oct. 11 at New Orleans, but considering the Vikings have a Week 6 bye, the team could exercise caution with its top wide receiver with the second half of the campaign in mind. In any case, Jordan Addison is poised to serve as Minnesota's top pass catcher in the short term, with fellow WR Jauan Jennings, TE T.J. Hockenson and RB Aaron Jones likely next up for targets from QB Kyler Murray.

Morrison (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Morrison appeared on Tampa Bay's injury report Thursday as a limited participant with a quad injury. It's unclear if the injury is related to his lower snap count from Week 3 (11 snaps total), but he is unavailable for Sunday's game against Green Bay. Ayden Garnes and Jacob Parrish could see a higher snap count in his absence.

Kieft (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Kieft didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday with an elbow injury. With no upgrade in his practice status Friday, the 28-year-old is set to miss his first game of the season. Cade Otton and Payne Durham will continue to operate as usual.

Bain (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's games against the Packers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bain missed Week 3 after seemingly suffering a groin injury in the game prior. The 22-year-old was unable to practice all week and will now miss Sunday's game versus Green Bay. The first-round rookie only has one tackle on the season but has garnered starter reps in each of his two regular-season games played. Al-Quadin Muhammad is set to receive more snaps in Bain's place.

Sinnott (ribs) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Sinnott has no fantasy value, especially with Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) cleared to return against Indianapolis after missing the previous two contests. Sinnott has one catch for six yards on two targets across three appearances this season.

Okonkwo (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

The tight end was injured in the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Eagles and missed the previous two games. If Terry McLaurin (hamstring) is unable to play through a questionable tag against Indy, it will open up more targets for ancillary parts like Okonkwo, but he's likely little more than a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet.

Jefferson (ankle) remained absent from Friday's practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson hasn't practiced at all this week after twisting his ankle seven snaps into last Sunday's game against the Bucs. It's looking likely that Jefferson will now miss Week 4 against Miami. If so, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings and Tai Felton should see the bulk of the wideout snaps for the Vikings.

Allen (groin) was listed as a non-participant for Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After logging a limited practice Thursday, Allen moved the wrong direction Friday with a DNP tag and now carries a questionable designation into Sunday's contest in London. That leaves the Colts' veteran wide receiver with some added uncertainty for Week 4 availability. If Allen is unable to go, the Colts will dip even deeper into their wideout depth with Alec Pierce (heel) already on the shelf for multiple weeks. Josh Downs and Tyler Warren would be in line to soak up most of the targets.

White (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

White missed practice all week and won't suit up in London. Rookie Kaytron Allen and newly-signed Austin Ekeler will spell Jacory Croskey-Merritt out of the Washington backfield against Indianapolis.

McLaurin (hamstring) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

McLaurin appears to have injured his hamstring in Friday's practice, which is rarely a good sign for a player's availability Sunday. If McLaurin is unable to go against the Colts, Stefon Diggs, Dyami Brown and rookie Antonio Williams would be in line to absorb most of the wideout work for the Commanders. With this game kicking off early Sunday morning in London, fantasy managers will have options to pivot off McLaurin should he be deemed inactive.
