Harry (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Commanders.

Harry opened the season on injured reserve after undergoing ankle surgery in early August, missing the Bears' first four games before returning to practice last week. He's now been cleared to play in a game for the first time all season, and it's possible he handles a significant role given how little production the Bears have gotten from their wide receivers this season. The possibility also exists that the 2019 first-round pick doesn't play or barely plays, given the long layoff and his lack of prior success in the NFL during his time with New England.

Gray was limited during Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Gray returned to action in Week 5 following a one-game absence due to a hip injury but failed to haul in either of his targets across seven offensive snaps. It appears the depth wideout has moved past the hip issue completely, but his availability for Week 6 may be impacted by his current aliment. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team has to make a decision on his status for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

Bateman (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he hoped to have Bateman back this Sunday against the Giants, but it isn't a great sign that the wideout still hasn't practiced since injuring his foot in a Week 4 loss to Buffalo. The Ravens relied on tight end Mark Andrews and wideout Devin Duvernay more heavily with Bateman out of the lineup for the team's 19-17 win over Cincinnati in Week 5, while receivers Demarcus Robinson, Tylan Wallace and James Proche all played more snaps than usual but didn't see many targets. Bateman has two more chances to practice before Sunday's road game.

London (knee) is present for practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London limped off the field late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay and never had a chance to return after the Buccaneers sealed the game with three first downs. The rookie's 33.9 percent target share is good for the second-best mark in the NFL, but only the Bears have attempted fewer passes than the Falcons. Moreover, London has caught just nine of 20 passes for 106 yards the past three games after starting his career with 160 yards over the first two weeks. He at least seems to have avoided a serious injury and appears on track to play this coming Sunday against a stout 49ers defense.

Higgins (ankle) is in line to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Higgins was limited to 10 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens after aggravating an ankle sprain that had limited him in practice last week. Given that the wideout is slated to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- Higgins has a chance to play this weekend against the Saints, but he'll need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday.

Robinson (knee) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Robinson has missed four straight games due to a lingering knee injury. Last week, the rookie second-round pick was limited in two straight practices before sitting out entirely Friday, but it's unclear whether he experienced a setback in hsi recovery from the knee issue. Robinson's return to the field Wednesday in some capacity is at least somewhat encouraging, and he appears to have better odds of playing Sunday against the Ravens than the likes of Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring), who aren't practicing to begin the week.

Toney (hamstrings) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Toney had been working his way back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury before he strained his other hamstring while practicing last week. He ended up missing his third straight game in the Giants' win over the Packers, and his absence from practice doesn't bode well for his early chances of avoiding another absence this weekend against the Ravens. Kenny Golladay (knee) also isn't practicing Wednesday, while Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will be a limited participant.

Colts head coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that Dulin, who's currently on injured reserve with a foot injury, is expected to return this season, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Dulin was placed on IR on Tuesday after suffering the injury during the team's overtime win at Denver last Thursday. He'll be forced to miss at least four games and could be sidelined beyond that, but he should be back before the 2022 campaign concludes. Dulin had recorded at least one catch in all five of his appearances this season, but he secured just four receptions for 43 yards over the past three games after recording eight catches for 125 yards during the first two contests. In his absence, Mike Strachan and Parris Campbell are candidates for increased snaps behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

McKenzie has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be a full practice participant Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

McKenzie was inactive for the Bills' Week 5 win over the Steelers, but he's in line to return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. In his return to the lineup, McKenzie should reclaim a share of the team's slot work alongside Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, with rookie Khalil Shakir a candidate to mix in after catching three of his five targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the win over Pittsburgh.

Adams was charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a credentialed media worker following the Raiders' loss to Kansas City on Monday, ESPN.com reports.

According to court records released Wednesday, the wideout was cited for an "intentional, overt act" that inflicted "bodily injury." Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Adams could be facing discipline from the league, possibly including a suspension. With the Raiders on bye Week 6, Adams could be at risk of missing an Oct. 23 matchup with the Texans in Week 7.
