Davis (hip) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Davis, who was listed as a non-participant on each of the Jets' three practice reports this week, will almost assuredly be inactive Thursday and turn his focus to return to the lineup Nov. 14 against the Bills. In Davis' likely absence for Week 9, Jamison Crowder, Elijah Moore, Keelan Cole and Denzel Mims will headline New York's receiver corps, as they did in last Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Woods won't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

Woods has taken a back seat to Cooper Kupp this season with Matthew Stafford (back) directing the offense. Still, Woods has flashed at times en route to 38 catches (on 59 targets) for 458 yards and four touchdowns. Both Woods and Stafford are tending to injuries and will be held out of the first session of Week 9 prep, but they're expected to be available Sunday versus the Titans, per coach Sean McVay.

Lamb was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report due to an ankle injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

A 2020 first-round pick, Lamb has avoided practice limitations to this point in his career, and the fact he took part in some capacity at what the Cowboys called a "scaled-back" session bodes well for his chances to be available Sunday versus the Broncos. Still, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on, along with those of Dak Prescott (calf) and Amari Cooper (hamstring), who also were limited Wednesday.

Gage was limited at Wednesday's practice by a groin injury, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

Gage and Tajae Sharpe led Falcons wide receivers with respective 68 percent snap shares this past Sunday against the Panthers without Calvin Ridley, who missed his second game of the season due to personal reasons. The result was no targets for Gage, while Sharpe paced Atlanta with 58 yards receiving on five catches and six targets. Now, Gage is tending to a health concern, which could inhibit his viability in the short term.

Beasley (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Brown notes that Beasley did leave Sunday's win over the Dolphins briefly, but the Bills' slot man ended up logging 52 of a possible 73 snaps on offense while catching 10 of his 13 targets for 110 yards. Beasley's participation level in Thursday's practice should add a degree of clarity with regard to his status for this weekend's game against the Jaguars.

Samuel (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Samuel sat out last Wednesday, too, due to a calf injury before returning in a limited capacity Thursday and practicing in full Friday. He was able to suit up this past Sunday in Chicago and churn out 171 yards on six catches, but coach Kyle Shanahan relayed Samuel aggravated the issue in that contest. Shanahan expects him to return to drills Thursday and also play Week 9 against the Cardinals, per David Lombardi of The Athletic, but the wide receiver's status bears watching as this week goes on.

Marshall (concussion) practiced in full Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Marshall remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but considering his full activity to begin Week 9 prep, he's closing in on gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. He's been sidelined the past two games due to the head injury, but his absence hasn't had a trickle-down effect on depth receivers Shi Smith and Alex Erickson, who have combined for one catch and three targets during that stretch.

Toney (thumb) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Toney didn't play Week 7 due to an ankle injury but returned to action this past Monday in Kansas City. During that contest, he spent some time on the sideline and the locker room receiving treatment for what head coach Joe Judge later revealed to be a laceration on his hand. The injury won't keep Toney from practicing to kick off Week 9 prep, which is more than can be said for fellow wideouts Kenny Golladay (knee) and Sterling Shepard (quadriceps).

Shepard (quadriceps) was held out of practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The same can be said for Kenny Golladay (knee), while Kadarius Toney (thumb) was a limited participant. The top of the Giants' receiving corps has been hindered by injuries for most of the season, while Saquon Barkley has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a sprained ankle. Shepard has been heavily utilized when available, averaging 8.6 targets in his five outings this season en route to a 32-324-1 receiving line. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity over the next two days to make his sixth appearance of the season Sunday against the Raiders.

Koski was signed by the Rams on Wednesday.

Koski was waived by the Rams ahead of the initial 53-man roster deadline, but he has rejoined the team after they released DeSean Jackson. The 24-year-old hasn't played a snap in the NFL, so his role will likely be initially limited to special teams.
