Daniel Arias WR | ARI
Daniel Arias: Joins Kansas City
Arias signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Arias will join the Chiefs practice squad because the team is currently dealing with injuries at the receiver position. It is still unlikely that the 25-year-old will be elevated in the near future, as the team previously signed Montrell Washington to its active roster.

Chris Blair WR | ATL
Chris Blair: Headed to Atlanta
The Falcons signed Blair to their practice squad Wednesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
Blair had a tryout with Atlanta on Tuesday and impressed enough to earn himself a spot on the practice squad. With Penny Hart (concussion) on injured reserve and Josh Ali (ankle) questionable, Blair could have an opportunity to be called up for action against the Jaguars on Sunday'.

Montrell Washington WR | NYG
Chiefs' Montrell Washington: Signed to active roster
The Chiefs signed Washington from their practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
Washington was elevated from the practice squad ahead of last week's win against the Bears to serve as the team's returner and impressed enough to get a permanent spot on the roster. With Richie James (knee) on injured reserve, the 24-year-old will likely continue to serve as the primary returner for the near future.

Cody Thompson WR | TB
Cody Thompson: Waived by Seattle
The Seahawks waived Thompson on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Thompson will head to waivers after spending five years in Seattle both on the active roster and practice squad. The 27-year-old was not targeted a single time in the team's first three games and will now look to catch on with another team.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Estimated as non-participant
Jones (thumb) was listed as non-participant for Wednesday's estimated practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones had been expected to open Week 4 prep as a limited participant, but he ended up not taking part in the Bengals' walk-through session. The rookie receiver out of Purdue has played just three offensive snaps through the Bengals' first three games but has been an asset on special teams as a punt returner, taking one back 81 yards for a touchdown Week 2.

Erik Ezukanma WR | PHI
Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Still out for practice
Ezukanma (neck) did not participate at the Dolphins' practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ezukanma missed the team's 70-20 Week 3 win over the Broncos with a neck injury and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The wide receiver will have two more chances to return to the field this week prior to Miami's divisional matchup with the Bills on Sunday.

Josh Ali WR | ATL
Falcons' Josh Ali: Limited Wednesday
Ali (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
A deep reserve in Atlanta's wideout corps, Ali has been inactive for all three games this season. He has played 14 offensive snaps across two career appearances, failing to catch his only target.

Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Dealing with shin injury
Jennings was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Even tough Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) didn't play last Thursday against the Giants, Jennings didn't experience an appreciable jump in playing time and matched his season high in targets with three, which he turned into two catches for 31 yards. As the 49ers kick off Week 4 prep, Jennings and Deebo Samuel (ribs/knee) were sidelined, while Aiyuk was a limited participant. With the team's top three wide receivers all battling injuries to some extent, the position group will be one to watch as Sunday's game against the Cardinals approaches.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Still dealing with oblique injury
Nacua (oblique) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Nacua is no stranger to injury reports to begin his career due to a lingering oblique issue. The injury hasn't stopped him from producing on game days, as he's turned in a 30-338-0 receiving line on 42 targets through three contests. Nacua will have two opportunities to get back to full this week before the Rams potentially hand him a designation for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis.

Allen Robinson WR | DET
Steelers' Allen Robinson: Misses practice Wednesday
Robinson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Head coach Mike Tomlin previously noted that Robinson might be limited during the early portions of the week, so the wideout's absence from practice Wednesday wasn't entirely surprising. Robinson now has two more chances to return to the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. He'll presumably need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend with an injury designation.
