Harris (undisclosed) was placed on Atlanta's practice squad injured list Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

The 22-year-old wideout signed with the Falcons' practice squad just over a week ago, and he's come up with some sort of injury. Harris was picked up by Atlanta as an undrafted free agent this offseason, but he failed to make the team's 53-man roster and was waived in August. The Falcons signed Damiere Byrd to their practice squad in response to Harris going on the practice squad IR.

The Falcons signed Byrd to their practice squad Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Byrd signed with the Panthers this offseason, but he dealt with a hamstring injury that led to his release in late August. He worked out with the Giants on Monday and subsequently agreed to join Atlanta's practice squad Thursday. The 30-year-old wideout spent his 2022 campaign with the Falcons, appearing in 14 games and recording 13 catches for 268 yards and two touchdowns.

Smith (hamstring) participated in Thursday's practice, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Smith's activity level Thursday won't be known until the Eagles post their second Week 7 injury report, but he appears to be taking a step in the right direction after sitting out Wednesday due to a hamstring issue.

Pierce (shoulder) was present for practice Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Pierce didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field a day later offers hope that he could be available Sunday against the Browns. Thursday's injury report will indicate the wideout's official participation level.

The Seahawks signed White to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

White will now get another opportunity after being waived from Pittsburgh's injured reserve with a settlement in August. The Seahawks are currently in need of help at receiver, as both DK Metcalf (ribs) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.

Bandy re-signed with Denver's practice squad Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Broncos released Bandy from their practice squad for the third time this season earlier in October, but the 25-year-old will now rejoin the team once again. Bandy has yet to appear in a game during the 2023 campaign but that could change in the near future as Denver only has five healthy receivers on their roster.

The Broncos signed Humphrey from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Humphrey will rejoin Denver's active roster where he spent time earlier this season before being released and signed to the practice squad last week. So far this year the 25-year-old has caught four of his five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in six games and will look to add to those numbers versus the Packers on Sunday.

Lockett was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice by a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Aside from getting a concussion check Week 1, Lockett has avoided health concerns this season. As the Seahawks begin Week 7 prep, he joined DK Metcalf on the team's injury report, though the latter was a non-participant due to rib and hip issues. Considering the two represent Seattle's top pass-catching options, the status of the duo will need to be watched closely as Sunday's game versus the Cardinals draws closer.

Metcalf (ribs/hip) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Metcalf's rib injury has followed him since Week 2, and he now has another health concern after hurting his hip Week 6 at Cincinnati. Despite the pair of issues, he logged 77 percent of the snaps in Sunday's loss and notched four catches (on nine targets) for 69 yards. Fellow wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday, so the status of the pair will be something to monitor as the Seahawks continue preparations for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Cardinals.

Adams (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Adams has been managing a shoulder issue over the last couple of weeks, but he approached this past Sunday's win over the Patriots without an injury designation and took on a 91 percent snap share in the contest. With no reported setbacks, Adams' listed limitations Wednesday were most likely maintenance-related, and the expectation is that he'll be available this weekend against the Bears.
