Week 4 Sunday Inactives: Daniels, Hall and Goedert Out

Jayden Daniels, Breece Hall, Caleb Williams, Dallas Goedert and Terry McLaurin are inactive. Nacua, Collins and Flowers are go. Late-window calls still pending.

Ruled out this morning

Confirmed inactive: Caleb Williams (hamstring, Bears), Breece Hall (quad, Jets), Dallas Goedert (MCL, Eagles), Jayden Daniels (elbow, Commanders), Terry McLaurin (hamstring, inactive for the London game), Rachaad White (shoulder) and Baker Mayfield (thumb). Emari Demercado is a healthy scratch, coach's decision.

Already ruled out before today: Justin Jefferson (ankle) sits against Miami, with Minnesota hopeful for Week 5. DeVonta Smith is out with a hamstring and Garafolo calls him "at very best, questionable" for the London game, so plan past this week too. Jalen Coker is unlikely to suit up Sunday night per Schefter, though his official status is still questionable.

On IR and not walking back into your lineup: De'Von Achane (ACL, season), Jaxson Dart (knee surgery, season), A.J. Brown, Jadarian Price, Jayden Reed, Travis Etienne, Jordan Mason, Jalen McMillan, Alec Pierce, Jonathon Brooks, Jonah Coleman, De'Zhaun Stribling. Zach Charbonnet is still on PUP and ineligible. Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List.

Active, go ahead

Puka Nacua has no designation and Schefter reports no expected workload limits at Philadelphia. Start him. Nico Collins practiced fully Friday with no designation after missing two games: he is Stroud's lead outside target again. Zay Flowers is listed active against Tennessee with no expected snap restriction.

D'Andre Swift is clear of the knee issue with no designation and gets the Jets, and he is the one Bears piece unaffected by Williams sitting. Bucky Irving (glute) and Tony Pollard (foot) both practiced without limitation and carry no designation. Jakobi Meyers' thumb is off the report. Drake Maye and Lamar Jackson are both clean.

Ladd McConkey is questionable with a foot issue but Rapoport says he is likely to suit up; the Chargers kick at 4:25 ET, so confirm him on the inactive list before locking.

The pivot by position

QB: if you had Daniels, Williams or Mayfield, the healthy, well-ranked options are Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Drake Maye. Marcus Mariota starts for Washington, which is a real downgrade for that offense.

RB: losing Hall hurts most. The best healthy names on the board are Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry, James Cook, Ashton Jeanty and Kenneth Walker. Rico Dowdle was out Thursday, which left Jaylen Warren as Pittsburgh's lead back: Warren went 17 for 93 against Cleveland. Quinshon Judkins is every-down in Cleveland now.

WR: with Jefferson out, Jordan Addison is Minnesota's top receiver per the team site. With McLaurin inactive, Stefon Diggs is Washington's No. 1, though Mariota is throwing. Davante Adams works as the Rams' WR2 with Nacua cleared. Top healthy plays: Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Drake London, Malik Nabers, Nico Collins.

TE: Goedert's absence makes Grant Calcaterra Philadelphia's top tight end by our read, but that is a projection, not confirmed usage. Healthy starters: Trey McBride, Colston Loveland, Dalton Kincaid, Brock Bowers, Isaiah Likely, George Kittle.

The late games

Mike Evans (ribs) is the one genuine game-time decision left. One limited practice, and both Evans and Shanahan point to a pregame workout. That inactive list lands before the 4:25 ET kickoff against Denver. Do not lock him in blind.

The 4:25 ET window also covers Chargers at Seattle, where McConkey's active status is reported as likely but not yet official. I do not have inactives for those games.

Sunday night, Lions at Panthers: Coker's final status is not confirmed beyond Schefter's "unlikely." Sam LaPorta has no designation; the only news on him is contract talks breaking off, which does not change his role this week.
