Both Dulin and slot receiver Josh Downs (concussion) were not present during the portion of practice that is open to the media. Dulin could still get on the field this weekend by returning to practice on Friday, but both players appear to be heading toward a Week 7 absence. Embattled second-year WR Adonai Mitchell could get a chance to rebound from his costly Week 4 fumble.

No real surprises here. Benford was listed as questionable heading into the day, but he didn’t practice at all this week so he was never likely to play. Rookie Davison Igbinosun is likely to step into his spot opposite Maxwell Hairston, which makes the Bills young and inexperienced on the boundary. Perhaps Drake Maye could finally take advantage of that on the way to his first truly good fantasy game of the season.

This is the second-straight week that Singletary has been made a healthy scratch for the Giants. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy will serve as the backups to Cam Skattebo. It’s also worth noting that QB J.J. McCarthy, who was acquired from the Vikings earlier this week, is active for Week 4.

The Texans are at near full strength and welcome back wide receiver Nico Collins, who was removed from the team’s injury report on Friday. Collins’ return comes at a time where Houston is seeking its first win of the season.

Cook (ankle), Dugger (quad), Bozeman (groin), Young (knee), and Hill (Achilles) are all injury inactives for the Bengals. An improved defense will be without a pair of safeties and depth in the front seven will be tested against the Jaguars.

Williams will miss another game, with Tyson Bagent likely to start for Chicago. D’Andre Swift, who missed some practice time this week, will suit up against a New York defense allowing the seventh lowest EPA per rush through three games.

Both Bain and Mayfield were ruled out earlier this week. UDFA rookie Jalon Daniels will make his starting debut against the Packers.

Sweat entered this week listed as questionable but is officially active. The veteran pass rusher has yet to tally a sack in his first three games this season but should have plenty of opportunities to get after Jameis Winston this week. The Cardinals declared QB Carson Beck, CB Starling Thomas V, S Rabbit Taylor-Demerson, OL Josh Fryar, and WR Reggie Virgil inactive for Week 4.

Parkinson’s absence with knee and shoulder issues at least comes as Puka Nacua returns, though the Rams are somehow down to only two healthy tight ends. Parkinson appears to be genuinely day to day, so we would assume he has a decent chance of returning for Week 5 against the Bills. Improbably, the Rams’ injury issues have made Tyler Higbee a legitimate streaming option.

Banks missed Week 1 with the knee issue. He suited up in Week 2 but aggravated the injury and has been out ever since. He is also dealing with a toe injury, per the injury report.

Every player on here was ruled out before the weekend. The Cowboys continue have lost several key defenders through the early part of the season and will now have to find a way to slow a Houston offense that will have Nico Collins back for the first time in two weeks.
