Miller has been out since last season with a torn ACL and was put on the PUP list to start the year. He’s eligible to be activated, but the Bills will obviously want to see how he responds to practice before making a final decision. Miller himself has said that he wants to play this weekend in London, and the Bills would love to have him back. With cornerback Tre’Davious White lost for the season, the Bills will need to rely even more on their pass rush for the remainder of the season.

Per Bengals coach Zac Taylor, Higgins is considered day-to-day. Taylor’s comment gives Higgins a shot at suiting up on Sunday, but a fractured rib and a missed practice session to open the week suggest Higgins will be sidelined for at least one game. If the Bengals choose to sit Higgins for two games, they would also be able to rest him through their Week 7 bye. We will get a clearer picture of Higgins’ Week 5 outlook when the team releases their final injury report on Friday.

Barkley was seen running and cutting two weeks after sustaining a high ankle sprain that the team originally downplayed as a non-serious injury. He could return for the Giants’ Week 5 game against the Dolphins. At this point, in what is likely a lost season for the Giants, there’s no point in rushing Barkley back onto the field. None of the other New York backs are fantasy viable if Barkley remains sidelined this week.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Taylor is healthy, and probably could have played two weeks ago. The question remains: Will Taylor’s frayed relationship with the Colts prevent him from taking the field in Week 5 and beyond? Taylor likely has no choice in the matter beyond refusing to play. It’s a situation to monitor. Those who have Zack Moss on their roster should sit tight for now.

Hall appears fully recovered from his 2022 ACL injury and it appears the Jets are ready to let him cut it loose in the coming weeks, starting with a mouth-watering Week 5 matchup against the Broncos. Hall has 32 rushes to 30 for backfield mate Dalvin Cook through the season’s first four weeks. Outside of two long runs in Week 1 against Buffalo, Hall has done precious little with his opportunities. Zach Wilson showing signs of life should be a plus for Hall. Fantasy managers who drafted Hall can play him this week without dry heaving.

The Athletic’s Dianna Russini said Kupp’s hamstring issue “was not as serious as initially feared,” and that Kupp is “pushing to play” in Week 5. Kupp, who sustained a major hamstring injury in August, should be ready to go for Week 5 against the Eagles, though he could be on something of a snap count as Sean McVay eases him back into the offense. Kupp’s return is a boon for Matthew Stafford, but could be a hit to Puka Nacua’s target share. Kupp drafters should play Kupp if he suits up against the Eagles.

Berry added Watson’s injury — which kept him sidelined in Week 4 against Baltimore — probably won’t affect the quarterback going forward. Watson sat out against the Ravens after gaining clearance from the team’s medical staff. The Browns hope Watson can return after their Week 5 bye. If Watson remains sidelined, rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson would get another start.

Gonzalez tore his labrum and injured his shoulder in the team’s Week 4 loss to the Cowboys and will miss the rest of his rookie campaign. It’s a devastating loss for New England’s struggling defense, which has allowed the tenth highest completion rate (68 percent) to opposing quarterbacks through Week 4. The Patriots acquired J.C. Jackson from the Chargers to fill in for Gonzalez. Last year, Jackson was graded by PFF as the NFL’s worst cover corner.

Jackson returns to New England after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Pats, emerging as a shutdown corner in 2020 and 2021, when he combined for 17 interceptions and 37 defended passes. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said the Patriots traded for Jackson because they lost rookie CB Christian Gonzalez to a season-ending labrum injury. Jackson’s time with the Chargers was an abject disaster both for Jackson and the team. He’s been a healthy scratch of late while dealing with legal issues related to the alleged negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Jackson in 2022 was graded by Pro Football Focus as the league’s worst cover corner. He’ll join a New England defense allowing a 68 percent completion rate, the tenth worst in the NFL.

We wish the Panthers good luck in their endeavor. Schultz said Carolina “is all in on Bryce Young — the player and the person. They love him and want to support him. They believe they can push this season by adding another big time playmaker.” It’s hard to say which top-flight wideout would be available via trade, and who would want to go to a terrible Panthers team. Perhaps this means the Panthers will acquire the currently doghoused Chase Claypool and call him a WR1. Schultz said the team attributes Young’s massive struggles to his lack of a dominant No. 1 receiver. Through Week 4, only Zach Wilson has a worse EPA per drop back than Young.
