Godwin (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Godwin landed in the league's five-step concussion protocol Wednesday after absorbing a hard hit to the head in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Since he didn't report his concussion symptoms until Wednesday, his absence from practice later in the day comes as little surprise. The wideout is unlikely to be back on the field until Friday at the earliest, leaving the Buccaneers' receiving corps in shaky condition heading into a Week 2 matchup with Carolina. With fellow starter Mike Evans (hamstring) listed as limited Wednesday, Scotty Miller and Justin Watson begin the week as Tampa Bay's top healthy receivers.

Evans (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Despite his uncertain status prior to the Buccaneers' Week 1 loss at New Orleans, Evans suited up and played 65 of 70 offensive snaps while scoring a touchdown among his four targets. Clearly, his status will be one to watch as this week goes on, but his ability to take part in the first practice of Week 2 is a sign that he's attempting to gut out his hamstring injury and continue to suit up on game days.

Coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Dorsett (foot) will participate in practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Dorsett wasn't able to suit up in the Week 1 win over the Falcons due to foot soreness. The Seahawks' first Week 2 injury report will be released later Wednesday and reveal whether Dorsett was a limited or full participant, but any activity can be considered a step in the right direction as he looks to gain clearance for Sunday's game against New England.

Pascal (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

This is a new injury for Pascal, so it will be worth monitoring his practice participation as the week goes on. Pascal just edged out Michael Pittman for third in snaps among the Colts' receivers in Week 1, so Pittman could see his role grow if Pascal is out or limited on game day against Minnesota.

James (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

James missed San Francisco's season opener due to his hamstring injury, and it's keeping him off the practice field as the team begins to prepare for a Week 2 clash with the Jets. The depth receiver will need to up his practice participation as the week goes along to have any chance of suiting up Sunday.

Grant was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Grant appears to have picked up a calf injury during Miami's season-opening loss to the Patriots, but there's not yet any reason to worry about his availability for Week 2. In the event that DeVante Parker (hamstring) ends up limited or unavailable during Sunday's game against the Bills, Grant could see a slight uptick in targets.

Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wedneday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Parker's ability to begin the week on the practice field in some fashion is evidence that he avoided a major setback after aggravating a left hamstring injury during Miami's season-opening loss. Ensuring Parker makes it through the entire 16-game slate will be a top priority for the Dolphins, so the team could be cautious with his usage in practices over the next few weeks to aid his recovery. If Parker's condition regresses as the week rolls along and he's forced to miss Sunday's game against the Bills, Preston Williams would be called upon to step in as Miami's de facto No. 1 wideout.

Davis isn't on the field for the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

Davis could just be taking a rest day coming off a 101-yard receiving performance during Monday's win over Denver. The Titans' first practice report of the week will be released later Wednesday, at which point the extent of Davis' participation in the session will become known. Fellow wideout A.J. Brown was also absent during the early portion of practice.

Brown wasn't on the field for the early portion of Wednesday's practice, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

The Titans' first practice report of the week will be released later Wednesday, at which point the exact extent of Brown's participation will be revealed. Given that the wideout is just two days removed from Monday's win over the Broncos, he could simply be receiving a rest day.

Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Sutton (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Sutton's limited session will mark his first return to the practice field since suffering a sprained AC joint in his shoulder last Thursday. The starting wideout wasn't able to suit up Week 1, but the fact that his status came down to a game-time decision bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against Pittsburgh.
