  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Officially limited in return to practice

    Nacua (ankle) officially was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    After coach Sean McVay told Grosbard that Nacua would be limited in his return to practice Wednesday, the wide receiver was seen looking crisp while making cuts and running routes, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Nacua initially suffered a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 at Baltimore and then sat out a Week 7 matchup with the Jaguars in London, but with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, it appears he'll miss just one game as a result of the injury. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation before the Rams potentially clear him ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

  • Beaux Collins WR | NYG

    Giants' Beaux Collins: Dealing with quad issue

    Collins (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    It's not immediately clear when Collins picked up the injury, but his activity at practice at least suggests it's not severe. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to a full practice before the Giants' final practice report of the week is released Friday.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Dealing with neck injury

    Skowronek (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Skowronek may have tweaked his neck during the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Packers, when he played 39 snaps (11 on offense, 28 on special teams) while hauling in his lone target for a 13-yard catch. He has mostly served on special teams this season but would have a slightly expanded role on offense for as long as Scotty Miller is sidelined due to a broken finger. Skowronek's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Colts on Sunday.

  • Scott Miller WR | PIT

    Steelers' Scotty Miller: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Miller broke his finger in practice during the Steelers' Week 8 prep, which prevented him from playing against the Packers on Sunday. He would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing in Week 9 against the Colts. Ben Skowronek (neck) will continue to see additional snaps at wide receiver for as long as Miller is sidelined.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Limited to open week

    Oliver (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Oliver has missed the Titans' last six games due to a lingering knee injury, but a full practice over the next two days would put him in line to return against the Chargers on Sunday. Oliver would likely serve in a return role on special teams if he's cleared to play Week 9, though he could also see some snaps on offense if Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is cleared to play.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited by calf injury

    McConkey (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    While recording a 58 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Vikings, McConkey caught six of a team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. The wideout has put up a 43-468-3 receiving line in eight contests to date and now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.

  • Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Questionable for TNF

    Eskridge (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Eskridge increased his practice participation over the shortened week, culminating in a full session Wednesday to earn him the questionable tag for Thursday night's game. His official status for Week 9 may not be officially known until the Dolphins announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Eskridge is not cleared to play, then Malik Washington and Ollie Gordon would likely handle most of the return duties on kickoffs and punts while Cedrick Wilson and Tahj Washington would be in line for more rotational snaps at wide receiver.

  • Dyami Brown WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Opens week with limited practice

    Brown (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Brown has been working through a shoulder issue since sustaining the injury in Week 3 against the Texans. He'll continue to have his practice reps monitored to avoid aggravating the injury, and he'll likely be cleared to play against the Raiders on Sunday unless he suffers a setback. The 2021 third-rounder logged six catches (on 13 targets) for 78 yards and one carry for seven yards across his last three games.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Full practice after bye week

    Meyers (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    The Week 8 bye apparently did him good, following an absence for the Raiders' embarrassing Week 7 loss to Kansas City. There hasn't been much good to say about the Las Vegas offense this season, but QB Geno Smith will at least have his main weapons healthy for the first time in a long time when he faces the Jaguars this Sunday. TE Brock Bowers (knee) was also a full participant Wednesday.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Limited in practice

    Kirk (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    The same goes for Nico Collins, who also returned to practice after missing all of last week. Collins is still in concussion protocol but reportedly on track to gain clearance, which means Houston's WR room could be at full strength this Sunday against Denver. It remains to be seen if Collins and/or Kirk will progress to full practice participation Thursday.
