NFL Week 4 preview flags key absences and Nacua’s expected return

Yahoo Sports’ preview of the NFL’s Week 4 Sunday slate listed game times and US broadcasters alongside player availability updates. The information is pre-game reporting and does not confirm who ultimately played or the results.

Puka Nacua was set to return for the Los Angeles Rams against the Philadelphia Eagles after a two-week absence with a hip injury. The preview did not confirm his participation.

Justin Jefferson was ruled out for Minnesota with an ankle injury. The New York Jets ruled out running back Breece Hall with a quad injury, while Philadelphia was without wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who had a hamstring injury.

Hall’s replacement was not confirmed. Yahoo Sports said Braelon Allen had taken most of the first-team practice reps and was presumed likely to start.

The Sunday schedule included 11 games, beginning with eight listed for 1 pm US Eastern time, followed by three afternoon kick-offs. Broadcasters named in the preview were CBS and Fox.
