#Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) and WR Chris Olave (hamstring) -- both of whom are questionable -- are both expected to play, sources say. The OL is banged up, but Kamara and Olave should be out there.

Joe Mixon Injury Update
Update: Multiple sources, including ESPN's Adam Schefter, are reporting that Joe Mixon will be OUT today.
Mixon (ankle) is considered a game-time decision for Week 4. While he faces an uphill battle to play, the veteran running back wants to contribute and will use pregame warmups as an opportunity to test his injury. If he can't suit up Sunday, Cam Akers would lead the Houston backfield.
Texans RB Joe Mixon, listed as questionable for today due to a sprained ankle, is out today vs. the Jaguars.
Another week of Texans RB Cam Akers leading the way.

Herbert (ankle) has avoided any additional setbacks and is now preparing to play in Week 4 despite being listed as questionable. He ranks as a mid-range fantasy QB2 ahead of a clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.
#Chargers QB Justin Herbert successfully finished the work week without any setbacks and feels better this weekend than last, per sources, once again setting the stage for him to play Sunday, barring something unforeseen.
