Jon Bostic - Likely out for season Bostic (pectoral) will likely miss the remainder of the season, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bostic underwent an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, and coach Ron Rivera revealed that the linebacker will likely miss the rest of the year. Rivera said Khaleke Hudson will see increased opportunities while the 30-year-old is sidelined, while Jared Norris should also see additional playing time.

Impact The rookie UDFA hasn't played through the first four games of the season, but he could be active Week 5 with Logan Thomas (hamstring) potentially sidelined. Reyes is unlikely to offer much fantasy value and figures to fill a reserve role at tight end.

Torry McTyer - Tears ACL, out for season McTyer tore his ACL during Sunday's contest against the Falcons and will miss the rest of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact McTyer was competing for the nickel corner spot throughout camp, but ultimately lost the job and was reverted to a reserve role. With Benjamin St-Juste (concussion) unavailable, the 26-year-old saw his first extended action of the season in Week 4. If St-Juste is still sidelined for Week 5, then Darryl Roberts and Troy Apke will be the most likely candidates to step up.

Dustin Hopkins - Misses two extra points Hopkins made one field goal and went 1-for-3 on extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-30 win over the Falcons.

Impact Hopkins' only miss of the season before Sunday was a 50-plus yard attempt in Week 1. His extra-point struggles are concerning, but Washington will likely let the seven-year veteran work through his woes. The 31-year-old kicker has never made less than 92 percent of his extra-point attempts, so expect him to bounce back in Week 5.

His status for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Saints depends on his participation in practice this week, but Ricky Seals-Jones and John Bates are in line for increased roles if the 30-year-old is forced to miss additional time.
