DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bears' DJ Moore: DNP on Wednesday
Moore (hip/groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
During Monday's 25-24 win at Washington, Moore paid a visit to the sideline tent but played through whatever was bothering him, logging 60 of 64 offensive snaps (94 percent) and hauling in three of five targets for 42 yards and two carries for 10 yards. Afterward, he was admitted to a local hospital for a precautionary medical evaluation, and coach Ben Johnson relayed to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network on Tuesday that Moore was dealing with a groin injury. The Bears listed hip and groin issues as the reasons for Moore's DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough, so his status bears watching in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Jason Brownlee WR | KC
Jason Brownlee: Returns to KC on practice squad
The Chiefs signed Brownlee to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Brownlee had been on Kansas City's active roster until he was waived Monday. Rather than explore an opportunity elsewhere, the 26-year-old wideout is returning to the Chiefs as a member of the practice squad. Brownlee has played in five of the team's six games so far this season but has drawn just one target on offense while doing most of his work on special teams.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited practice Wednesday
Johnston (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Johnston approached Week 6 action with a questionable tag after logging limited practices Wednesday through Friday, and he was ultimately deemed inactive for the Chargers' 29-27 win over the Dolphins. Johnston now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of this Sunday's game against the Colts, but the wideout will likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid a Week 7 injury designation.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Oliver (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Oliver has been sidelined for the Titans' last four games due to a knee injury he sustained against the Rams in Week 2. He would have a better chance of being cleared to play against the Patriots on Sunday if he were to log a full practice over the next two days. Julius Chestnut and Chimere Dike will continue to serve as the Titans' top return options on kickoffs and punts if Oliver is not given the green light to suit up against New England.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Misses practice Wednesday
Meyers (knee/toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
After being on the field for 90 percent of the Raiders' snaps on offense in the team's Week 6 win over the Titans, a game in which Meyers caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, the wideout is managing a pair of injury issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Meyers now has two more chances to practice before Las Vegas assigns final Week 7 injury designations.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Dealing with chest injury
Dulin did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.
Dulin likely picked up the injury during the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals in Week 6, when he returned two kickoffs for 59 yards while playing just one snap on offense. The 28-year-old wideout will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chargers.

Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Jets' Allen Lazard: Not on injury report
Lazard (personal) is not listed on the Jets' Week 7 injury report.
Lazard didn't travel with the Jets to London last week due to a personal matter and missed the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday as a result. As this weekend's game against the Panthers approaches, Lazard is not on the Jets' injury report, while fellow WRs Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip) are. With that in mind, Lazard could see added opportunities in Week 7 if both Wilson and Reynolds end up on the team's inactive list.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Chance to play vs. Pittsburgh
Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones was able to overcome an Achilles injury to play in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, but he picked up a rib injury in the process. He was able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, giving him a chance to play in Thursday's AFC North bout. Jermaine Burton and Samaje Perine would likely serve as the Bengals' returners on kickoffs and punts if Jones is not cleared to suit up.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: No activity at walkthrough
Jones (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones took advantage of the early exit of Marvin Harrison in the second quarter of Sunday's defeat in Indianapolis due to a concussion. Overall, Jones' 79 percent snap share represented a season high, and he parlayed a campaign-best eight targets into five catches for 79 yards and no touchdowns. Jones was limited in all three Week 6 practices due to a knee issue, so his absence Wednesday could be related to maintenance. With Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Michael Wilson (foot) also tending to health concerns this week, the trio will be monitored closely to get a sense of who among them may be available Sunday against the Packers.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Limited in practice
Brown (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
It's presumably the same shoulder injury that Brown played through in Jacksonville's past two games (after missing Week 4). He has just 18 receiving yards on nine targets since returning to the lineup, perhaps leaving the door open for Parker Washington to get more snaps alongside Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter.
