Nacua, who has missed the past two games with a hip and groin issue, "looked sharp" in practice, according to head coach Sean McVay and will likely be on a snap count."It's exciting," Nacua told reporters after a full practice on Thursday. "That's my safe space out there, and to be out there with the guys, I think that's been the most important thing, feeling that camaraderie and then also the ability to put my foot in the ground."Justin Jefferson will not play Sunday as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Miami Dolphins. The four-time All-Pro wide receiver suffered a left ankle sprain during the opening drive in Week 3 and will miss his first game since the 2023 season.Despite being out the majority of the Vikings' Week 3 victory against the Bucs, Jefferson still leads the team with 179 receiving yards. He's amassed that yardage on 13 receptions, two of which have resulted in touchdowns.Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Basketball league for the 2026-27 NBA seasonCaleb Williams (hamstring) will sit another week after being ruled out on Friday. Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said, "We'll find out on Sunday" regarding the team's starting quarterback. Case Keenum, who started Week 4, and Tyson Bagent are the two candidates to play.Other Week 4 injuries to monitor:Jayden Daniels (elbow) has been ruled out of the Washington Commanders' London matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The quarterback practiced this week in a limited capacity, wearing a brace on his left arm. He may potentially need surgery in the offseason, but the brace will provide protection for the remainder of this season.The Eagles will likely be without wideout DeVonta Smith on Sunday night against the Rams. Smith has not practiced all week after suffering a hamstring injury on Monday night against the Bears. Smith leads the team with 19 receptions and 235 receiving yards through three games. With Smith likely out, along with A.J Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon and the returning Zach Ertz will be Jalen Hurts' main targets.It will be the Braelon Allen show with Jets running back Breece Hall ruled out with a quad injury suffered in Week 3. Allen has been getting most of the first-team reps in practice this week as the team prepares to face the Bears. "Nothing really changes for me in terms of preparation or my mindset, anything like that. I've always prepared to be in that position," Allen said.A rib injury knocked San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans out of Week 3. As the team prepares for the Denver Broncos, Evans remained out of practice on Thursday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said the veteran "will make every attempt" to be on the field Sunday afternoon.
