Justin Herbert, QB, Chargers

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert exited his match against the Pittsburgh Steelers and underwent X-rays. Fortunately, those tests on his right ankle returned negative, but his status remains uncertain for this pivotal Kansas City Chiefs game.

Skylar Thompson, QB, Dolphins

Meanwhile, a quarterback crisis is looming over the Miami Dolphins, cycling through three different starters in three weeks already. The team has seen backup Skylar Thompson take the place of starter Tua Tagovailoa who left the game due to an injury, and he suffered a rib injury during the Dolphins' loss against the Seattle Seahawks. Tim Boyle took over after Thompson's exit. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Thompson is "day-to-day," but the team is weighing its options, including playing newly acquired Tyler Huntley on Monday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans.

Jordan Love, QB, Packers

Green Bay is dealing with the rehabilitation of quarterback Jordan Love from a knee injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated Love will be a limited participant in practice leading up to the game against the undefeated Minnesota Vikings.

Najee Harris, RB, Steelers

Najee Harris suffered a right arm injury but Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin is of the opinion that Harris would be geared up and ready to play this week as they prepare to face the Indianapolis Colts.

Joe Mixon, RB, Texans

Joe Mixon from the Texans hurt his ankle in Week 2. He missed the Week 3 game against the Vikings because of it.

DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles

DeVonta Smith of the Eagles had to leave the game against the Saints early. A hard hit to the head caused a concussion.

Trey McBride, TE, Cardinals

Tight end Trey McBride from the Cardinals entered concussion protocol. A helmet hit from Lions player Brian Branch in Week 3 led to the injury.

Teams probably really watch their players closely before Week 4.
