Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Lane (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season.

Lane suffered a gruesome ankle injury returning a kickoff in Sunday's loss to the Colts in London and had to be carted off. It was clear at the time that he wasn't going to be back this season. Dyami Brown took over as the Commanders' primary kick returner following Lane's injury.

Fant (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons.

Despite being a limited practice participant during Week 4 prep, Fant will miss his first contest of the campaign due to an abdominal injury. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch thus will serve as the reserve tight ends behind starter Juwan Johnson on Monday. Fant's next chance to play is this coming Sunday versus the Vikings.

McConkey (foot), per head coach Jim Harbaugh, is "week-to-week," Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

McConkey suited up for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks despite dealing with a foot injury throughout the week, but he was forced from the game with the same issue, and Harbaugh's comment Monday indicates he could miss some time. More about McConkey's status will be known when the Chargers next release an official injury report Wednesday, but should McConkey wind up sidelined, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris would presumably be Justin Herbert's clear top two options at the wideout spots.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that White (shoulder) "should" practice this week, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

White sat out the entirety of Week 4 prep before being ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Colts in London as he deals with a shoulder injury. The Commanders resume practicing Wednesday, after which his activity level, if any, will become known. In three contests this season, White has 31 touches for 151 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders continue to assess what McLaurin (hamstring) may be able to do at Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Washington added McLaurin to its Week 4 practice report Friday as limited due to a hamstring issue, which ultimately sidelined him for Sunday's loss to the Colts in London. Quinn said afterward that McLaurin "pushed to play" in that contest, but the team ended up exercising caution with the wide receiver, per Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. McLaurin thus seems to be the "day-to-day" category with his health concern, and Wednesday's injury report will unveil how much work, if any, he's able to handle.

Coach Dan Quinn said Monday that the Commanders are aiming for Daniels (left elbow) to have a full practice week and then start Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

The timing of Daniels' likely return to action is fortuitous for Washington after fill-in QB Marcus Mariota was knocked out of Sunday's defeat to the Colts in London and eventually diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee, per Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. Daniels has missed the last games after dislocating his left elbow for the second time in as many seasons back in Week 2. Wednesday's injury report will reveal if Daniels indeed is kicking off Week 5 prep with a full practice.

Coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that Mariota has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL in his right knee, and the quarterback's recovery timeline is to be determined, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

Meanwhile, Quinn expects Jayden Daniels (left elbow) to have a full week of practice and return to action this coming Sunday against the Giants, per Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site. When it comes to Mariota, the knee injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Colts in London typically is a multi-week injury, meaning seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis likely will be the backup signal-caller to Daniels in Week 5 and even beyond that point.

The Seahawks are expected to sign Mixon to a contract, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

With Jadarian Price (chest) on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL) not yet ready to practice, Seattle is bringing in RB reinforcements in the form of Mixon, who is in line to join the practice squad once he passes a physical, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Emanuel Wilson likely will continue to handle a large workload out of the backfield for the foreseeable future, and George Holani is serviceable as a change-of-pace option, but Mixon could find himself called upon if one of Wilson or Holani gets banged up at any point before Charbonnet is able to make his season debut.

Coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that Love is dealing with an ankle issue that's not related to the high-ankle sprain he tended to in August, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Love came out of preseason Week 1 with the previous ankle issue and missed the rest of exhibition season. Through four games to begin his career, the third overall pick in this year's draft has had an oscillating workload from week-to-week, with his 66 touches going for 259 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. Love did cede the Cardinals' last four offensive snaps of Sunday's loss at the Giants to fellow RB Tyler Allgeier, which came after the former limped off the field after one of QB Jacoby Brissett's three interceptions, according to Darren Urban of the team's official site. Wednesday's practice report should provide a sense of where Love stands with the current health concern.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that Winfield was diagnosed Monday with a "slight rib fracture" and will miss 2-to-4 weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Bowles officially ruled Winfield out for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, and the seventh-year safety would seemingly face an uphill battle to make it back for a Week 6 matchup with the Steelers on Oct. 18 after suffering the rib injury in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Packers. Through Tampa Bay's first four games, Winfield had 24 tackles and one forced fumble. Ifeatu Melifonwu is slated to replace Winfield in the starting lineup Week 5.
