What happened: Puka Nacua is set to play in Week 4 while dealing with a hip issue. Justin Jefferson has been ruled out with an ankle injury, and Jayden Daniels will miss the week with an elbow issue. The update turns three major availability questions into firm weekend decisions.

Why it matters: Puka Nacua's Week 4 return restores one of the weekend's biggest missing pieces, while Jefferson and Daniels being sidelined remove two focal points from Sunday. That combination shifts usage expectations and fantasy lineup calls across multiple games in the same slate.

What to watch: Watch the final inactive lists and any pregame workload hints on Nacua after the decision to play. Jefferson and Daniels now move into the next practice cycle ahead of Week 5.
