Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Still working through finger injury
Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday.
Miller has missed the Steelers' last two games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury, and he's unlikely to play against the Chargers on Sunday if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days.

Kristian Wilkerson WR | BUF
Kristian Wilkerson: Returning to Buffalo
The Bills signed Wilkerson to the practice squad Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Wilkerson has returned to Buffalo's practice squad one day after being cut, and he will continue to provide wide receiver depth for the Bills. He appeared in three regular-season games for the Raiders in 2024 and logged two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards and one touchdown.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: Remains limited
Jones (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones again is dealing with the knee injury that has lingered since Week 6 prep (in advance of Arizona's last three games). He's suited up for all three and combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 146 yards and no touchdowns while working with QB Jacoby Brissett. With Kyler Murray's (foot) placement on IR on Wednesday, Jones will be on the receiving end of passes from Brissett for at least the next four contests, assuming the wide receiver is healthy enough to be active himself.

D'Wayne Eskridge WR | MIA
Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: No practice Wednesday
Eskridge (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Eskridge suffered the shoulder injury in Week 8, but managed to suit up on short rest in Week 9. That should create optimism for his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Bills, though his participation in practice will be worth monitoring.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Remains sidelined at practice
Gould (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Gould was absent from the team's 27-20 loss to the Steelers in Week 9 while dealing with a knee injury. The wide receiver has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice, but he'll have two more chances to return to the field prior to Sunday's matchup with the Falcons.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: No practice Wednesday
Kupp (hamstring/heel) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Coach Mike Macdonald told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Kupp would be limited to begin Week 10 prep, but instead he didn't log any work. Kupp now has been listed as DNP on back-to-back injury reports dating back to last week as he tends to hamstring and heel issues, but he'll have two more chances to practice this week before the Seahawks potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Since Kupp was sidelined this past Sunday in Washington, Tory Horton stepped up behind No. 1 WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and notched four catches (on four targets) for 48 yards and two touchdowns, and Seattle then acquired Rashid Shaheed from the Saints before Tuesday's trade deadline, so the pecking order at the position seemingly will be different once Kupp is healthy enough to play.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Limited in practice
Brown (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Brown suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Raiders, exiting shortly before Brian Thomas (ankle) suffered an injury of his own. The Jaguars then traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday and got Tim Patrick (groin) back to full practice participation Wednesday, adding to the long list of potential starters at WR for Sunday's game against Houston. Much will depend on the health of Thomas and Brown.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Limited to begin Week 10 prep
Coach Sean McVay said that imaging on Nacua's ribs returned negative, and while the wide receiver will be limited at Wednesday's practice, he should be able to play Sunday at San Francisco, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Nacua exited early from this past Sunday's win against the Saints with what initially was termed a chest injury, but McVay clarified afterward that he hurt his ribs. McVay then told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times on Monday that he felt "optimistic... in regard to where we're potentially heading." There's a decent chance Nacua has practice restrictions all week, with Friday's injury report to reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game.

Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Won't play Thursday
Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Las Vegas.
The Broncos listed Mims as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, hinting at a degree of practice and potential return for Week 11 against Kansas City on Nov. 16. With Mims out for the past game and a half, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant took on more snaps alongside Courtland Sutton. It'll likely be the same story Thursday night, with Trent Sherfield also having a role as the No. 4 receiver.
-
Cedric Tillman WR | CLE
Browns' Cedric Tillman: Full practice participant
Tillman (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said last Monday that Tillman was expected back after the Week 9 bye. A full practice confirms the wideout is on track to make that happen, and he'll likely step back in as a starter for an offense that's gotten just 632 cumulative receiving yards from its wide receivers this season. Poor QB play and an emphasis on the RBs/TEs are part of that, but it's also fair to say that neither Tillman nor Jerry Jeudy has shown the form that contributed to their respective hot streaks last season. Jeudy figures to continue starting anyway, with Tillman more likely to take snaps that have been going to Isaiah Bond (foot) and Jamari Thrash.
