Meyers (hamstring/ankle) does not carry an injury designation going into Thursday's game at the Ravens.

Though Meyers was limited in practice, the Jaguars are not listing him on the injury report going into Thursday's game. The veteran has battled through bumps and bruises throughout the season but has yet to miss a game. He'll be good to go for Week 9 in Charm City.

The Jets signed Manjack to the practice squad Wednesday, Amanda Vogt of the Jets' official site reports.

Manjack last spent time in Denver, appearing in all three preseason games, catching three of four targets for 40 yards. The undrafted rookie now has a fresh start with New York as a depth option.

The Texans signed Sobkowicz to the practice squad Wednesday.

Sobkowicz was on Houston's practice squad for the first five weeks of the season before being cut in October. The 24-year-old has yet to make a regular-season appearance for the Texans. Landing back on the team's practice squad, the undrafted rookie has a long way to go before making his NFL debut.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, but the wide receiver was able to run on a side field, and the Buccaneers will see how he feels Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Egbuka was able to clear ths concussion protocol last Friday, but he still missed this past Sunday's win against the Falcons due to a foot injury, marking a second absence in a row. Seemingly, Wednesday's bit of running is a test to get a sense of where Egbuka stands, health-wise, so Thursday's session could be revealing for his chances to return to action Sunday at Chicago.

Brown (ankle/knee) won't practice Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Brown was sidelined for New England's Week 8 win over Miami, and with another 'DNP' - his third straight -- on tap, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Packers is cloudy. On the plus side for the Patriots, Mack Hollins (calf) could return from IR this weekend to bolster a WR corps that also includes DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams.

When asked Wednesday when Pierce (heel) might be able to resume to practice, Colts head coach Shane Steichen noted that he "can't put a timetable on it right now," Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Steichen said that Pierce, who has been on IR since Sept. 26, is currently rehabbing his injury, but the wideout's return is clearly not imminent. At 2-6, the Colts, who are already sellers ahead of the NFL trade deadline, have little incentive to rush Pierce back. Meanwhile, fellow WR Josh Downs has asked to be dealt, a situation that further clouds the team's pass-catching corp ahead of Week 9.

Wilson, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, is considered day-to-day, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

As a result, Wilson's status for Sunday's road game against the Chiefs will need to be tracked closely in the coming days. The wideout is coming off a six-catch, 83-yard effort in the Jets' Week 8 loss to the Raiders, and if Wilson ends up sidelined this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Omar Cooper, Adonai Mitchell and Isaiah Williams.

Egbuka (foot) was spotted running on the side with a trainer Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Egbuka, who last suited up for game action in Week 6, was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday before logging a 'DNP' on Friday. It remains to be seen what his participation level will be as the week unfolds, but if Egbuka remains sidelined Sunday night against the Bears, Chris Godwin, Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson would be in line to lead Tampa Bay's Week 9 WR corps.

Tyson (hamstring) is slated to resume practicing with the Saints on Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The Saints are expected to officially open the wide receiver's 21-day evaluation window as they kick off Week 9 prep ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Given that the strained right hamstring has kept him off the field since Aug. 13, Tyson may need more than one week of practices to get himself back into playing shape, but the Saints haven't necessarily ruled the rookie first-round pick out from making his NFL debut against Cleveland. Whenever he's deemed ready to play, Tyson could immediately push Devaughn Vele for the Saints' No. 2 receiver job.

Aiyuk, who who is currently is on the 49ers' Reserve/Left Squad list, has turned in paperwork to be reinstated, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Aiyuk "is healthy and ready to get back on the field. Meanwhile, Schefter adds that once the wideout officially reports back to the 49ers, the team's options are to keep Aiyuk under his current contract, release him or look to move him ahead of this coming Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. Given the moving parts involved, it remains to be seen when Aiyuk might return to the field in any locale, but depending on his health and conditioning level, the 2020 first-rounder could represent an intriguing option for a team looking to add WR depth to consider.
