Ridley (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley was inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing Thursday or Friday, but the wideout's presence for Wednesday's session offers hope that he may be available this weekend against the Bengals. The Titans' upcoming practice report will reveal Ridley's official participation level in his return to the practice field.

Wilson said Wednesday that he won't ask to be traded from the Jets, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Trade talks are heating up across the league and teams in the Jets' position are being looked at as potential sellers at the deadline. Wilson, who has been a Jet since 2022, will not seek a trade from the club, however. The fifth-year wideout is off to a strong start this season, drawing a 25.8 percent target share and averaging 1.98 yards per route run.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Allen will "get a little bit more [snaps]" during Sunday's game against the Broncos, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

While the Chiefs have been without top wideout Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) in the past two games, Allen has seen only a modest uptick in playing time. After logging no more than five offensive snaps in each of his first four NFL contests, Allen has played 25 total offensive snaps over the last two weeks while recording three receptions for 45 yards. Even if Reid sticks to his promise to find more work for Allen, it's unclear how much larger his role would grow if Rice is able to put an end to his absence this weekend. Rice took a step in the right direction toward playing in Denver by returning to the practice field Wednesday, per Taylor.

Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said McConkey remains in concussion protocol but will practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

McConkey was knocked out of the Chargers' Oct. 18 loss to the Chiefs after sustaining a concussion but appears to have made some progress through the five-step protocol following the team's Week 7 bye. He was spotted practicing Monday during the Chargers' bonus session coming out of the bye week and looks on track to participate in at least a limited fashion Wednesday in the Chargers' first official practice of Week 8.

Golden (shoulder/foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Golden opened Week 8 prep as a listed non-participant both Monday and Tuesday due to shoulder and foot injuries, but he was able to upgrade to limited at Wednesday's walkthrough and thus put himself in a position to play Thursday. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff

Moore (shoulder) was spotted on the field for the open portion of Wednesday's practice but was donning a no-contact jersey, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Moore has been sidelined for the Bills' last two games due to an AC Joint sprain, but coming out of a Week 7 bye, head coach Joe Brady seemed to express optimism Wednesday about the receiver's chances of playing this Sunday versus the Ravens, per Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo. While Moore's presence on the field to begin Week 8 prep is an encouraging sign, he'll likely need to resume taking contact at some point Thursday or Friday to put himself on track to suit up Sunday. The shoulder issue has led to early exits for Moore in two of his four appearances on the season, but he's been productive in both of his two full games with 11 receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets between those contests.

Chase wasn't spotted during the stretch portion of Wednesday's practice, Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com reports.

Chase previously dealt with a concussion this season, but he was able to play a full allotment of snaps in either side of the Bengals' Week 6 bye, totaling an 11-139-2 line on 17 targets in those contests. It's unclear if he's tending to a health concern to begin Week 8 prep, or if he's merely getting a veteran rest day.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Egbuka (concussion/foot) took part in individual drills Wednesday, but the wide receiver will need to do more Thursday to progress toward a return to action, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Egbuka sat out this past Sunday at Carolina due to a concussion and a foot injury, which capped him to just one limited session last week (Friday). It appears as if he'll go down as limited again this Wednesday, especially considering he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. In the end, Egbuka will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to be eligible to play in an actual game.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring/knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Rice will mix into drills for the first time since exiting the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the pair of injuries. Reid provided no assurances that Rice is in line to play Sunday in Denver, but as long as the Chiefs' No. 1 wideout responds well to practice and avoids any setbacks as the week rolls along, he could put an end to his two-game absence.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Diggs won't practice Wednesday due to an unspecified issue but is expected to be a full participant Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Though Diggs isn't on the practice field coming off of a Week 7 bye, Quinn noted that the wideout's absence wasn't related to his prior hand injury nor any other health concern, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Instead, Diggs appears to be getting more of a veteran's rest day, which Quinn added will likely be the norm for the receiver to begin practice weeks moving forward. With Terry McLaurin sustaining a season-ending knee injury in a Week 6 loss to the 49ers, Diggs should be locked in as Washington's No. 1 wideout for the rest of the season, though players such as Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks and Chig Okonkwo could be greater beneficiaries of McLaurin's absence in terms of seeing their respective target shares increase.
