Demarcus Robinson WR | SF
Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Limited by hip injury
Robinson practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a hip injury.
Just as head coach Sean McVay told Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site on Monday, Robinson is operating with a cap on his practice reps this week, only the listed injury is to his hip and not his groin. In any case, Robinson's status will be one to watch as the week goes on to see if he may head into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Jacob Cowing WR | SF
49ers' Jacob Cowing: Absent from practice
Cowing (shoulder) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice.
Cowing injured his shoulder during the 49ers' Week 4 win against the Patriots. The rookie fourth-round pick is considered day-to-day with the injury, and he'll have two more chances to practice in some capacity ahead of Sunday's NFC West showdown against the Cardinals.

Chris Conley WR | SF
49ers' Chris Conley: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Conley (oblique) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session.
Conley picked up an oblique injury during Sunday's 30-13 win over New England. He'll have two more opportunities to practice this week ahead of the 49ers' Week 5 game against the Cardinals on Oct. 6. Cowing has just one catch (on three targets) for four yards through the first four games of the regular season.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Unlikely to play Week 5
Adams isn't expected to play Sunday against the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams -- who didn't practice Wednesday -- is viewed as week-to-week with his injury and is also a candidate to be traded by the Raiders, per Schefter. Regardless of what happens on the latter front, however, Adams is trending toward remaining sidelined this weekend. If that's the case, Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and DJ Turner would be in line to lead the Raiders' receiver corps versus Denver.

Brandon Powell WR | MIN
Vikings' Brandon Powell: Nursing chest injury
Powell (chest) was limited during Wednesday's practice.
Powell briefly exited Sunday's win over the Packers after taking a hard hit to the midsection while attempting to make a catch. He was able to return to the game, but he appears to be dealing with the lingering effects of that hit. His practice participation over the next two days should provide clarity on his status for Week 5 against the Jets.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Ready to rock
Johnson (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
After logging a full practice session Wednesday, Johnson has moved past his ankle issue enough to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup. Expect the Barton College product to serve as a depth piece in Tampa Bay's wide receiver corps while also contributing on special teams in Week 5.

Tank Dell WR | HOU
Texans' Tank Dell: Limited in return to practice
Dell (chest) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
His return to practice, even in a limited capacity, lends credence to reports from earlier this week suggesting Dell is expected to return for Sunday's game against Buffalo. He didn't practice last week and ended up missing a win over the Jaguars, which allowed Robert Woods to fill in as a seldom-targeted No. 3 receiver alongside Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. The No. 3 role demands more usage when Dell is filling it, but he's seen his volume suffer considerably while sharing the field with Diggs and Collins this year, drawing targets on just 16.5 percent of his routes, down from 24.5 percent as a rookie.

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Logs limited session Wednesday
Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The rookie wideout played through his quadriceps issue in Week 4's loss to the Titans, hauling in his only target for eight yards across 14 offensive snaps. Washington is projected to continue playing through this quadriceps injury in Week 5 unless his practice participation is downgraded either Thursday or Friday.
-
Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Limited practice Wednesday
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Unionreports.
Davis was limited at practice last week and listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans, but the wideout suited up and logged a 79 percent snap share while catching one of his five targets for minus-2 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Davis' limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.
