Updates/analysis (most recent first)

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (8:55 a.m.): ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that the tight end, newly signed by the New York Jets but only able to get in two practices this week, will not be among the team's active players in Week 4.
Tavon Austin (8:50 a.m.): After getting in a full practice on Friday, it's expected that Austin will indeed suit up for the Rams today when they face off with the Cardinals, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Detroit Lions (8:45 a.m.): ESPN's Adam Schefter cites a source as telling him that both Marvin Jones and Eric Ebron will be active today for the Lions, despite the questionable tag that has been placed on both players.
Justin Forsett (8:40 a.m.): Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Ravens, in a "stunner," will bench their starting running back today. Terrance West is expected to start.

</article>Indianapolis Colts (8:30 a.m.): Reports are that the team may be starting three rookies on their offensive line. This does not bode well for the success of Andrew Luck and the rest of the Colts offense this morning.
Julius Thomas (8:10 a.m.): The tight end will not suit up for this early contests across the pond, leaving Marcedes Lewis as the likely beneficiary of any fantasy stats to be had at the position from the Jaguars offense today.
Phillip Dorsett (8:05 a.m.): The wide receiver is active for this week's game in London, which is good news for the Colts, as they've ruled out both Donte Moncrief and Devin Street for this contest, and could ill-afford to add a third WR to their inactives list.

Official Sunday inactives should begin coming in at approximately 11:30 a.m. ET for the early games, 2:30 p.m. ET for the later set and 7 p.m. ET for the Sunday night game.
