Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Prior to his departure, Williams recorded just one quarterback hit. Jarran Reed and Rylie Mills should see more snaps alongside Byron Murphy while Williams nurses his injury.

McBride caught seven of 12 targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants.

White the star tight end saw double-digit targets for a fourth straight game to begin the season, McBride couldn't turn the volume into meaningful production, with backup TE Elijah Higgins instead connecting with Jacoby Brissett on a two-yard score in the third quarter. McBride will carry a 33-242-2 line on a whopping 46 targets into a Week 5 clash at home with the Lions.

Stout (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

With Stout injured, Jack Jones is the only other healthy cornerback on the roster behind Renardo Gren and Deommodore Lenoir. Prior to exiting Sunday, Stout recorded six tackles (four solo). He handles slot cornerback duties for the Niners.

Reed (ribs) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Panthers.

Reed will ultimately be able to give it a go after operating as a limited participant a practice throughout the week with a rib injury that he suffered in Week 3. The cornerback will likely be tasked with trying to hold Tetairoa McMillan in check during Sunday Night Football.

Thornton exited Sunday's game agains the Raiders with a left ankle injury and will not return.

Thornton was injured at the end of a long catch in the fourth quarter when he was tackled from behind, as the defender fell on his ankle. It was an obviously serious injury, with Thornton's foot pointing the wrong direction. He was put in a cast and carted off the field. Thornton was having a career game in Las Vegas, catching five of eight targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns prior to his injury. Jalen Royals is next up at wideout alongside Xavier Worthy after Rashee Rice (hamstring) left with an injury earlier in the day Sunday.

Jackson (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions.

Jackson will be forced to miss Week 4 as he nurses a knee injury. In his absence, Lee Hunter will handle the lion's share of snaps at nose tackle versus Detroit.

Bryant (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Bryant was injured at the tail end of a catch in the second half and had to be carted to the locker room. That he's being considered questionable to return may suggest it's not a serious injury for Bryant. Prior to leaving, he caught all three of his targets for 47 yards. Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin are next in line for snaps behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Juszczyk (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Juszczyk was injured at the end of a catch in the second half when he was chopped down at his knees on a tackle. Prior to departing, Juszczyk caught both of his targets for 28 yards.

King (coach's decision) is inactive but will operate as the Panthers' emergency third quarterback Sunday night versus Detroit.

King will remain the team's No. 3 QB for the fourth straight week to open the 2026 campaign. The rookie will only be eligible to enter the game if both starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett are removed with injuries.

Daniels completed 19 of 27 passes for 148 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed eight times for 55 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

The undrafted rookie was thrust into his first NFL start much sooner than expected thanks to Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, and all told, Daniels acquitted himself reasonably well. He unsurprisingly had his share of struggles as a passer, and in addition to his pair of picks, he also took three sacks. Daniels' two turnovers did lead to 10 total points for the Packers, but the Kansas product also provided plenty of valuable production on the ground and fired his first career touchdown to Kenny Gainwell from 10 yards out to open the fourth quarter. Daniels won't get the benefit of another full week of practice before taking the field for his second start, however, as the Bucs pay a visit to the Cowboys for a Week 5 matchup Thursday night.
