Starters hurt or already sidelined heading into the week:- Saquon Barkley, RB — hamstring. Week-to-week after leaving the Rams game after four snaps. Not viewed as long-term, but Week 5 is in doubt. Will Shipley is the only healthy back on the active roster.

- Quinyon Mitchell, CB — knee (possible bone bruise). Left the Rams game and did not return. Status TBD.
- Zack Baun, LB — concussion. Missed Week 4. Hope is he can clear protocol this week.
