Thompson (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Thompson drew three targets in the Chargers' loss versus the Raiders in Week 2, but it appears he may have picked up a quad injury during that contest as well. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play in Week 3 at Buffalo.

Meiga was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Seattle hosted Meiga for a tryout Tuesday, and he will now get a chance to prove himself with the team moving forward. The wide receiver was waived after reaching an injury settlement with Carolina on Aug. 12, but he has now fully recovered from an undisclosed injury.

Moore (shoulder) "felt great" after getting in a limited practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Moore did not take contact Wednesday and officially did not get in a full session, but he was optimistic about his status when asked about it afterward. While Moore is taking the positive path and there is reason to believe he will suit up Sunday against the Chargers, it remains to be seen if he will do so.

Smith (knee) underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith suffered a knee injury during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He will finish the 2026 campaign without a catch (one target), adding four carries for 13 yards. With Smith, Omar Cooper (ankle) and Tim Patrick (groin) out of the equation, Isaiah Williams could be in line for more opportunities behind Adonai Mitchell and Garrett Wilson. The Jets also signed Malik McClain off the practice squad Tuesday, which will help fill some of the void left by the injuries within the receiving corps.

Nacua (groin) will not practice Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay indicated he could practice later this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua sat out the final two practice sessions the Rams held prior to Monday's victory over the Giants and ultimately missed Week 2, and he remained unavailable Wednesday. If Nacua is able to get some work in for either or both of the next two days as McVay hopes, he has a chance to return to the field in Week 3.

Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Nabers exited Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury but was able to return to the contest, finishing with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Granted, Jameis Winston took over for an injured Jaxson Dart after the first series of the contest, and now Nabers will be working with Winston for the foreseeable future with Dart slated for surgery on his injured left knee. Nabers will have two more opportunities to get back to full participation this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Collins was not spotted by reporters prior to Wednesday's session, and he officially did not get any work in at Houston's first session of the week. It was reported Saturday that Collins could miss two games with his injury, and after sitting out Week 2, he could miss Week 3 unless he is able to get some work in either or both of the next two days.

The Colts signed Pancol to the practice squad Wednesday.

Pancol participated in the Colts' training camp this summer but was waived by the team on Aug. 30. While the signing is a step in the right direction for Pancol's NFL career, he might not get an opportunity to appear in a regular-season game for Indianapolis anytime soon. The wideout appeared in 57 games for Duke from 2019-2024, amassing 130 catches for 1,710 yards and 14 touchdowns, adding 40 yards and two scores off seven carries.

Bell was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald, Bell was spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins haven't revealed whether Bell's limitations to begin Week 3 prep are related to the torn ACL he suffered last December, but he'll now have two more practices to prove his health this week ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Through two games to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick has tallied one catch (on three targets) for 25 yards.

Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.

The veteran has been held back in practice for much of the season due to a thumb issue, but it hasn't prevented him from suiting up on Sundays. Look for the Jaguars to continue to manage Meyers' injury cautiously in practices to keep him fresh on gamedays. The wideout still looks to be on track to play Week 3 versus the Patriots.
