Wilson (ribs/toe) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Wilson has been dealing with a toe injury since Week 1, but he also injured his ribs in Week 2 against the Ravens. Despite being a limited participant in practice last week, Wilson still suited up for Sunday's victory over the Bills. However, he played a season-low five snaps and failed to see a single target. With it being a short week and the Dolphins playing Thursday against the Bengals, his status is worth monitoring for single-game DFS contests, especially after Jaylen Waddle (groin) also showed up on this week's injury.

Higgins (toe) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Dolphins, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Higgins popped up on the Bengals' injury report with a toe issue during Monday's walkthrough, but that now does not seem to be an issue of concern. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old looks on track take on his usual workload against Miami.

Waddle (groin) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

The Dolphins estimated Waddle as a non-participant Monday, so he's seemingly trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Bengals. According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, head coach Mike McDaniel intimated earlier Tuesday that he expects Waddle to play Thursday, but whether the wideout approaches the contest with or without a designation will likely be determined by what he's able to do in practice Wednesday. Waddle paced the Miami pass catchers Week 3 with 102 yards on four receptions and is sitting on a 19-342-3 receiving line on 30 targets through three games.

The Chargers placed Guyton (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Guyton suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Jaguars and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. The speedster was a solid deep threat for the Chargers over the prior two seasons, but he'd only seen 29 snaps and four targets through three games this year as Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter had surpassed him on the depth chart, so his absence won't have much of an impact on the team's passing game.

The Buccaneers signed Geiger to their practice squad Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Geiger was let go by Tampa Bay on Monday, but he signed with the team's practice squad Tuesday after he cleared waivers. The 24-year-old receiver played four offensive snaps (six percent) during Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Packers, while he was also active for the team's Week 2 contest against New Orleans. However, Geiger's recent opportunities came at the expense of fellow WRs Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) all being held out Week 3. Once the team's receiver corps returns to full health, the 180-pounder will likely have a difficult time competing for snaps.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Gallup (knee) will "get a bunch of work" Wednesday and "is close" to making his season debut, adding he's "hopeful" the wideout will suit up Sunday against the Commanders, Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports.

Gallup logged a few days of practices ahead of the team's Monday night contest against the Giants, but he was ultimately held out. However, barring a setback, it appears like he'll have a good shot at making his season debut in Week 4. Noah Brown has emerged as a solid target for Cooper Rush, who continues to fill in for Dak Prescott (thumb), but when Gallup eventually returns, he'll likely slide into the No. 2 spot behind CeeDee Lamb.

The Lions signed Johnson to the practice squad Tuesday.

Johnson dealt with an undisclosed injury during the preseason and was ultimately waived by the Lions with an injury settlement in mid-August. However, the undrafted wideout is presumably healthy now and will likely provide insurance while Detroit waits to see how Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (ankle) handle practice ahead of Week 4.

Reynolds was tending to a minor ankle injury in the aftermath of Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Reynolds briefly checked out of Sunday's contest on account of the injury, but he was able to return and finished the game with six receptions for 96 yards on 10 targets. Top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown also picked up an ankle injury, but neither he nor Reynolds are believed to be dealing with anything significant. Even so, the statuses of both receivers for the Lions' Week 4 game against the Seahawks won't be known until the team's training and coaching staffs get a chance to evaluate them during practice. Detroit signed Josh Johnson to its practice squad Tuesday, which will give the team some extra coverage at the position if one of Reynolds or St. Brown can't play Week 4.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't express much optimism Tuesday that Toney (hamstring) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Daboll noted that both Toney and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) are showing improvement after they missed Monday's Week 3 loss to the Cowboys, but the quick turnaround may make it difficult for either wideout to gain clearance for game action. Toney likely has a better chance of suiting up in Week 4 than Robinson, as he's thus far sat out only one game to the rookie's two and was listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game, whereas Robinson was officially ruled out. In any case, the potential absences of the duo would loom even larger than usual for the Giants, as top wideout Sterling Shepard (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear to further deplete the team's receiving corps.

Daboll noted that both Robinson and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) are showing improvement after they missed Monday's Week 3 loss to the Cowboys, but the quick turnaround may make it difficult for either wideout to gain clearance for game action. Robinson may face a tougher battle to suit up in Week 4, as he didn't practice in any capacity this past week, while Toney saw some limited practice participation and was given a doubtful designation ahead of the contest against Dallas.
