DuBose (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

DuBose has appeared on the Dolphins' first injury report of the week with a shoulder issue. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation leading up to Sunday's game against the Seahawks. DuBose played 26 snaps on offense and caught one pass on three targets for 13 yards in Miami's Week 2 loss to Buffalo.

Washington (quadricep) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Washington was unable to play the first two games of the regular season due to the quad injury he sustained in early September. He missed all three practices leading up to Week 2 against the Bills, but the rookie sixth-round pick returned to the field Wednesday. If Washington can continue to make progress this week, then he could be cleared to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Seahawks. When healthy, Washington will likely operate in a depth role behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, though he could eventually push Braxton Berrios for the third spot on the depth chart.

Wilson (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

The 6-foot-7 rookie wide receiver played through his hamstring issue in Week 2's loss to the Falcons, but following Wednesday's estimated DNP, he could be in jeopardy of missing time. Wilson has had an underwhelming start to his NFL career, failing to haul in either of his targets while playing 28 offensive snaps across two games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect Britain Covey and Jahan Dotson to see even more work with Philadelphia's first-team offense.

Collins was held out of Wednesday's practice with hip and foot injuries, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Collins didn't provide any evidence of being limited by injury during Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago, as he logged 84 percent of the offensive snaps while leading the Texans in routes (36), targets (10) and receiving yards (135). He leads the league with 252 receiving yards through two weeks -- nobody else has more than 200 -- and he will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Vele (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Vele missed all three practices last week before being ruled out for ahead of last Sunday's loss to the Steelers. However, the wideout's return to a limited session Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Buccaneers. In Denver's season-opening loss to Seattle, the 2024 seventh-round draft pick caught all eight of his targets for 39 yards.

Weaver (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Weaver missed the first two games of the regular season after injuring his oblique in early September, but the 23-year-old wideout appears to be on track to make his NFL debut against the Lions in Week 3. Weaver provides depth for a Cardinals pass-catching corps headlined by Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride.

Whittington is preparing for a larger role with Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) likely out for multiple weeks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Whittington barely played Week 1 and didn't get much playing time in the first half of Sunday's 41-10 loss at Arizona, but he then played every snap on offense in the second half, finishing with two catches for 22 yards on two targets. He seems to be ahead of Tutu Atwell in the pecking order and may thus join Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson as full-time players this Sunday against the 49ers. While expectations for the rookie sixth-round pick should be modest for now, he drew considerable praise from teammates, coaches and beat reporters this summer. Additionally, Whittington will be a candidate to take some carries in addition to whatever targets he might garner.

Reynolds (Achilles) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Reynolds was on the field for 41 of 61 snaps on offense in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh, finishing with four receptions for 93 yards on five targets. The wideout continues to manage an Achilles injury that affected his practice participation last week, but with no reported setbacks on that front, his limitations Wednesday could well have been maintenance-related.

Johnson and the Rams' other wide receivers are preparing for larger roles with Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) expected to miss multiple games, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Apart from garbage time in this past Sunday's blowout loss to the Cardinals, Johnson has played nearly every snap on offense since Nacua injured his knee in the second quarter of the Rams' Week 1 contest. Johnson finished the opener with five catches for 79 yards on seven targets, before slumping to two catches for 20 yards (three targets) in the Week 2 loss at Arizona. He now appears locked in as a starter for at least the next few games, alongside Demarcus Robinson and Jordan Whittington/Tutu Atwell. A matchup with the 49ers this Sunday isn't ideal, and the Rams offense faces the added challenge of losing two starting linemen to injured reserve already.

The Packers signed Johnson to their practice squad Wednesday.

Johnson, a 2024 seventh-round pick out of Michigan, was dropped from the Chargers' practice squad earlier in September, but he's found a new opportunity in Green Bay. The 23-year-old wideout posted a 47-604-1 receiving line during his final collegiate season.
