Here's The Latest On What's Happening Around The League Rntering Week 4

The San Francisco 49ers have confirmed that quarterback Brock Purdy will make his return in Week 4. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced the news on Friday, bringing relief to fans eager to see their starter back in action.

Purdy had been sidelined since Week 1, after sustaining both turf toe and a sprained shoulder. His absence forced San Francisco to turn to backup Mac Jones, who managed to guide the team to consecutive wins.

With Jones holding the line effectively, the 49ers enter Week 4 unbeaten at 3-0, comfortably sitting atop the NFC West. Purdy’s comeback now sets up a stronger push as the team prepares to face the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Los Angeles Rams face uncertainty over the availability of wide receiver Davante Adams. After missing two straight practices, Adams managed a limited return on Friday due to a hamstring concern.

At 32 years old, Adams is officially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Indianapolis Colts. His presence could be decisive in the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff in Los Angeles, but his final status remains unclear.

Over in New York, Jets quarterback Justin Fields has resumed practicing following his concussion. Fields trained on both September 25 and 26, marking his first full participation since suffering the injury in Week 2.

Head coach Aaron Glenn revealed that Fields will get the start against the Miami Dolphins if team doctors clear him for contact. Should he remain sidelined, veteran Tyrod Taylor will retain the starting role after covering in Week 3.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has finally logged a full practice session. On September 24, he practiced without limitations for the first time since sustaining a serious ankle injury last season in Week 7.

Godwin’s recovery comes at a critical time for the Buccaneers, who recently lost star wideout Mike Evans to a hamstring issue. His return should boost Tampa Bay’s receiving corps ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles, meanwhile, were forced to move three players to injured reserve. Linebacker Nolan Smith, cornerback Jakorian Bennett, and receiver Darius Cooper will all miss time, though each is expected back later in the year.

Smith has been a bright spot for Philadelphia’s defense, recording 10 tackles and forcing a fumble. His absence, along with Bennett’s and Cooper’s, will test the team’s depth in multiple positions.

In Washington, the Commanders received good news as quarterback Jayden Daniels returned to practice after a knee sprain kept him sidelined in Week 3. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Daniels was back on the field September 23.

While Daniels’ limited participation doesn’t guarantee his availability, his progress suggests he could suit up against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The rookie had been considered day-to-day after injuring his knee in Week 2.

On the other hand, star receiver Terry McLaurin was unable to practice this week. McLaurin exited last Sunday’s game early with a quad injury and is reportedly consulting multiple specialists to assess the severity.

The New York Giants are making a bold change under center. The team is benching veteran quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart, who was drafted 25th overall earlier this year.

 Wilson struggled through three games, completing under 60% of his passes with a disappointing 78.5 passer rating. At 0-3, the Giants hope Dart can inject fresh energy into the offense.

 Additionally, New York has addressed a special teams concern by signing kicker Younghoe Koo to the practice squad. Koo, recently released by Atlanta, joins after Graham Gano injured his hip in Week 3.

 In Tennessee, the Titans are shaking up their offensive approach. Head coach Brian Callahan has handed over playcalling duties to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree in hopes of sparking improvement.

The Titans rank near the bottom of the league in both points scored and total yards. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward has endured a rough start, completing just over half of his passes with a rating of 71.4.

Finally, Tampa Bay suffered a blow with confirmation that wide receiver Mike Evans will be sidelined for multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury. The six-time Pro Bowler had 14 catches for 140 yards and a touchdown before going down, leaving the NFC South leaders without their top weapon.
