Thompson (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Wednesday's practice was Thompson's first since Week 2 prep, with the rookie fourth-rounder missing the Chargers' last two games due to a quadriceps injury. However, he told reporters after Wednesday's session that he's unsure whether he'll be cleared to return for Sunday's AFC West showdown against the Broncos, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. A full practice over the next two days would put Thompson on track to play in Week 6, and his return would be a welcome one for the Chargers, given that top wideout Ladd McConkey is considered week-to-week due to a foot injury.

Brown (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Brown didn't practice to begin the week after missing the Eagles' last two games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also missing Wednesday's practice, Jalen Hurts may need to rely on Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks once again in Week 5 versus Jacksonville. There's a chance Dallas Goedert (knee) will be back as well.

White (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

It's not clear when White picked up the injury, but that he got in some activity at practice Wednesday suggests it's probably not overly serious. As long as he can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, there's a solid chance he'll be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Thornton (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

The Raiders designated Thornton for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, and it appears he may be close to being officially activated. The fact that free-agent acquisitions Jalen Nailor (concussion) and Cody White (ankle) are tending to injuries could give Las Vegas additional incentive to get Thornton ready for game action sooner than later.

The Eagles signed Ezukanma to the practice squad Wednesday.

Ezukanma originally signed with the Eagles on June 16, then was released in August. The wide receiver now returns to the franchise as depth after injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) weakened the Eagles' pass-catching options.

The Giants placed Berrios (foot) on their injured reserve list Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Berrios was already determined to have sustained a season-ending foot injury during Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals, so the move comes as no surprise. His being out could create more opportunities at wide receiver and as a returner for Charlie Jones, who was signed to the Giants' active roster from their practice squad in late September.

Moore (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice.

Moore has been battling an ankle injury for at least a few weeks. While he has played with the issue, it finally kept him off the field in Week 4 versus the Titans. The 33-year-old has three catches for 63 yards and one touchdown during the 2026 campaign, so another absence wouldn't have a significant impact on the offense.

Wallace (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Wallace sat out Cleveland's contest versus the Steelers in Week 4 due to a knee injury, and now his availability for Week 5 is up in the air too. He'll probably need to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Jets.

Dulin didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Dulin missed two consecutive games due to an ankle injury before being cleared to play against the Commanders in Week 4, when he caught three of six targets for 29 yards. He's now working through a different lower-body injury, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's road game against the Steelers.

Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Young was unable to play against the Jaguars this past Sunday due to a knee injury that he picked up against the Steelers in Week 3. He's opened the week with a limited session, and if he can upgrade to a full practice participant over the next two days, then the rookie fourth-rounder would be in line to return against the Dolphins this Sunday. Young's availability would be even more crucial if one or both of Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) or Tee Higgins (groin) were unable to play against Miami.
