Both teams lose key contributors as they prepare for Sunday’s matchups, raising the stakes for their offensive production and line protection. CBS Sports reports that wide‑out Justin Jefferson is ruled out and that Washington’s Terry McLaurin is sidelined with a hamstring injury, a fact echoed by NBC Sports. Yahoo Sports adds Breece Hall and DeVonta Smith to the out list and notes that Puka Nacua is set to return.

ESPN lists DeVonta Smith and Price as inactive while marking McConkey and Coker as questionable. Additional reports from CBS confirm Luke McCaffrey’s Week 4 inactivity and detail the Commanders‑Colts inactives. Several players remain listed as questionable, and coverage does not yet specify whether they will be cleared before kickoff.

The status of McConkey, Coker and any late‑week injury updates could alter starting lineups, meaning roster moves are still possible as teams finalize their Week 4 squads.
