Nacua, who was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, doesn't appear to be making much progress in his recovery from a groin injury and could be trending toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Rams are taking a cautious approach with the star wide receiver, whom head coach Sean McVay noted Wednesday isn't dealing with a hernia and isn't facing a long-term absence, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. Nacua's participation level will bear monitoring when the Rams hold practice Thursday, but at this point in the week, the wideout may be trending toward sitting out that session, as well as the Rams' next game Sunday. While Nacua was sidelined for the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday, Davante Adams moved into the No. 1 wideout role and stepped up with 195 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Whittington (quadriceps) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Whittington has failed to practice since sustaining a quadriceps injury during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The wide receiver has missed four consecutive practices and appears no closer to suiting up for the team's Week 3 showdown with the Broncos on Sunday.

Miller (hip/back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

It's not clear when Miller suffered the injury, but his availability for Week 3 is now in doubt. If he's not able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'll end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Valdes-Scantling was signed to the Chargers' active roster Wednesday.

Valdes-Scantling inked a deal to join the practice squad with Los Angeles on Sept. 15, and he will now get a shot with the active roster. The 31-year-old will provide the team with another veteran option at wide receiver ahead of Week 3 versus the Bills.

Moore (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Moore likely suffered the ankle injury in the Ravens' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday. The wide receiver played 32 offensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps in the contest as the team's No. 4 option at wide receiver. If Moore cannot upgrade to a full practice participant by Friday's session, he will likely be stuck with an injury designation ahead of the Ravens' Week 3 matchup with the Cowboys.

Kupp (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The veteran receiver dealt with the back issue in practice last Wednesday before being upgraded to full work Thursday. He could follow a similar path this week. Kupp has just four catches for 55 yards on five targets through two games, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba has dominated the targets and big plays for Seattle.

Mims (foot) was a limited participant at the Broncos' practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Mims was forced to miss the team's 20-13 win over the Jaguars in Week 2 after suffering a foot injury in the regular-season opener versus Kansas City. The wide receiver is primarily a special-teams asset, but if he is able to play Sunday, he'll provide the team with an additional dynamic option versus the Rams' impressive secondary.

Jennings (personal) was not listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday.

Jennings was unable to practice all week before ultimately sitting out Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears while dealing with a personal matter. The 29-year-old returned to practice Wednesday, and he'll stand to operate as Minnesota's No. 3 option at wide receiver in the return of quarterback Kyler Murray against the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Dulin (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Dulin was unable to suit up for the Colts' 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Sunday due to an ankle injury. The wide receiver and kick returner was listed as week-to-week with the issue, meaning if Dulin cannot upgrade to at least limited practice participation by Friday, there is a strong chance the 29-year-old will miss the Week 3 game against the Texans as well.

Coleman didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

DJ Moore was believed to be the Bills wide receiver dealing with a health concern this week after he suffered an AC joint sprain last Thursday against the Lions. Instead, Moore was a limited participant Wednesday, while Coleman didn't log any practice reps at all to kick off Week 3 prep. Coleman's status thus bears watching Thursday and Friday to see whether or not he's trending toward an absence Sunday versus the Chargers.
