Daniels (illness) was limited at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

While Daniels was sidelined this past Sunday due to a bout with COVID-19, Maxx Williams, the Cardinals' No. 1 tight end, sustained a major injury to his left knee in that contest that forced him to injured reserve. After Arizona activated Daniels from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, he's suddenly the top tight end on the team, with Demetrius Harris behind him on the depth chart and Ross Travis on the practice squad. Daniels has just 12 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown in 50 career games, but merely getting to work with Kyler Murray could result in some utility at some point this season.

Jordan (illness) isn't listed on the injury report Wednesday.

Jordan was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Patriots due to an illness, but he's absent from the injury report a few days later. The rookie fifth-round pick is still looking to make his NFL debut for the Texans.

Kelce (neck) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Following Sunday's 38-20 loss to Buffalo, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid relayed that Kelce suffered "a little bit of a stinger" during the contest, but the star tight end's name wasn't on on the team's initial Week 6 practice report. That's a welcome development for the team, with running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) having landed on injured reserve following the loss to Buffalo and with Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) having failed to practice Wednesday.

Tonyan was limited in practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Tonyan has had a muted start to the season, with four outings of two or fewer catches and no more than eight yards. His only somewhat productive outing came in Week 2 against the Lions, when he hauled in all three targets for 52 yards and one touchdown. There's been no indication Tonyan's knee issue is threatening his odds to play Sunday at Chicago, but the next two days of practice could shed light on how he's trending.

Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Brown apparently picked up the injury during the Texans' loss to the Patriots on Sunday, when he caught two of four targets for 22 yards while playing 64 percent of the offensive snaps. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up this weekend against the Colts.

Hockenson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Hockenson was listed as questionable with the same injury Week 5, ultimately playing 81 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps but catching just two passes for 22 yards on three targets in a 19-17 loss to Minnesota. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track to play again this Sunday against the Bengals.

The Packers have designated Dafney (hip) for return from IR, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Dafney has missed three games due to his hip injury, making him eligible to come off IR as early as Sunday's contest against the Bears. He handled a key depth role as a blocker during the first two weeks of the season.

Waller wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Waller wasn't visibly injured during Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears, though he may have managed to pick up some sort of health concern. He played 96 percent of the available offensive snaps in the contest, catching four of eight targets for 45 yards.

The Cowboys have designated McKeon (ankle) to return from IR, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Dallas will have 21 days to evaluate McKeon at practice and make a decision on whether to bring him back to the active roster. As a rookie last season, McKeon appeared in 14 games but failed to draw a single target.

Bell (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

It's unclear when Bell picked up the injury, but it's worth monitoring throughout the week. Travis Kelce (neck) also is questionable for Week 6, so Noah Gray and Jody Fortson could be in line for extended work against Washington.
