The NFL lifted its suspension of Jones on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones was suspended by the league for the first three games of the regular season due to a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy. The Maryland product will be available for the Vikings' Week 4 home tilt against the Dolphins on Sunday, though Jones' playing time figures to be limited to special teams rather than on offense.

Young (knee) is not expected to play in Week 4 against the Jaguars, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Young suffered a left knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Steelers, and he was forced to miss the remainder of the contest. Head coach Zac Taylor provided an update Monday, explaining the wide receiver isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but he will be sidelined for at least one game. The Bengals are expected reevaluate the injury after Week 4 and then determine the next steps for Young.

The Lions signed Kitselman (leg) to the practice squad Monday.

Kitselman reached an injury settlement with the Lions during training camp in mid-August due to a leg injury he sustained in practice. He's since been medically cleared to sign with a team, and he's opted to return to Detroit as a member of the practice squad. Kitselman would be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if one of the four tight ends on the Lions' 53-man roster were to miss time.

Carlson made three of his four PATs and attempted no field goals in the Saints' 35-27 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Carlson's missed PAT on the Saints' second drive of the contest was blocked by Thomas Booker. The point was a relevant one, impacting decisions throughout the contest that ended up as an eight-point game. Carlson moves to 7-of-8 on PATs and remains 4-of-5 on field-goal attempts through three regular-season games.

Sanders converted on a 42-yard field goal and made his lone extra-point try during the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Sanders' field goal in the third quarter reduced the Jets' deficit to 17-10, though he didn't end up attempting an extra point following each of the Jets' two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Through three regular-season games, the veteran kicker is 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries. Sanders has been elevated from the practice squad three times, so he would have to be signed to the Jets' active roster in order to suit up for the team against the Bears in Week 4.

Slye missed his only field-goal attempt and made a PAT during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Giants.

Slye missed his first kick of the young season, pushing a 59-yard field-goal try wide left late in the second quarter. The contest took place in the midst of a nor'easter, making the playing conditions rather treacherous, so his long miss doesn't come as a surprise. The kicker has now gone 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts while making all four of his extra-point tries through three games this season.

Lutz missed his one field-goal attempt and went 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Rams.

With the Broncos trailing 16-0 in the first half, coach Sean Payton went for two after each of the team's first two touchdowns instead of using Lutz for the point-after attempts. Prior to that, Lutz missed a 43-yard field goal try when he hit the left upright. On the season, Lutz has attempted just four field goals and five extra points, making him an uninspiring fantasy kicker.

Patterson made his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Patterson finished off the Dolphins' first possession of the second half, converting a 37-yard field-goal try to narrow the deficit to 14-10. He didn't attempt another field goal during the contest, making it the first game this year during which he did not have multiple field-goal tries. Through three games, the kicker has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts, including 0-for-1 from 50-plus yards, and he may not get many opportunities when Miami squares off with Minnesota's impressive defense in Week 4.

Borregales converted two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 35-6 loss to the Jaguars.

Borregales accounted for New England's scoring with 35- and 40-yard field goals but missed one from 38 yards in the third quarter. The second-year kicked has had a bit of a shaky start to the 2026 season, making just five of seven field-goal tries while going 3-for-3 on extra points. Kicking in an offense that is struggling to score points, Borregales isn't a recommended fantasy kicker ahead of next Sunday's date with the Bills.

Szmyt made both of his field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Szmyt made field goals from 45 yards and 48 yards during the contest, with the 45-yarder coming in the fourth quarter to take a 13-12 lead over the Panthers. The kicker moves to a perfect 6-of-6 on field goals and 4-of-4 on PATs through three regular-season games in 2026.
