Reed (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

This was merely a formality after Reed was placed on a backboard and carted off the field after the Packers' second offensive play of this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime win at the Jets. He remained in the New York area afterward for further evaluation, and upon Reed's return to Green Bay on Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that the wide receiver's injury was contained to his neck area, and it's "way too early" to tell if he has a chance to play again this season until he undergoes additional medical tests. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant will man the team's receiving corps Week 3 and beyond.

Pittman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Just as head coach Mike McCarthy suggested would be the case prior to Wednesday's practice, Pittman kicked off Week 3 prep with a cap on his reps. After sitting out this past Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots, Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid taking a designation into this weekend's matchup with the Bengals. If Pittman winds up missing a second straight game, the Steelers would have more reps available at receiver for Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard.

Nabers (shoulder) was seen participating in Wednesday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Nabers battled through a shoulder injury in Monday's loss to the Rams, and his presence at Wednesday's practice is a good sign for his trajectory heading into Week 3 against the Titans. That said, the Giants held only a walk-through Wednesday, so Nabers' status won't be solidified until later in the week.

Evans (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

Coach Kyle Shanahan already said Monday that Evans will be carefully managed this week, so the veteran's lack of participation in practice Wednesday is not overly surprising. Evans left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a hip issue. Friday's injury report will give the best intel on Evans' status for the Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals. The 49ers' receiver depth is being tested early, with Demarcus Robinson (ankle) joining De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Christian Kirk (calf) among the injured wideouts.

Coker (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

An ankle injury slowed Coker in practice last week as well, but he was able to play through it and register eight grabs in the win over the Falcons. He was limited Wednesday, and this could be the norm for Coker during the week until he's back to 100 percent. At this stage, his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns does not appear to be in question.

Moore (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, logging just 23 snaps while finishing with no targets and one carry for minus-1 yard during his limited time on the field. Though he appears set to go down as a limited practice participant on the Bills' first Week 3 injury report, Moore's presence on the field is generally a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Since injuring his hamstring at practice last Wednesday, Collins hasn't logged any notable on-field work, which lines up with a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston that the wide receiver may miss two games as a result. Collins likely will need to mix into drills at some point by week's end in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday at Indianapolis.

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Iosivas tore a ligament in his thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Iosivas will require surgery to address the injury and is expected to need 4-to-6 weeks to make a full recovery. The Bengals' No. 3 wideout, Iosivas played more than half of the team's offensive snaps in both of the first two games of the season but has totaled just three receptions for 19 yards on four targets.

Flowers (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

On Monday, head coach Jesse Minter said that Flowers had a "good shot" at playing in Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Brazil, after the star wideout missed the Ravens' Week 2 loss to the Saints due to the hamstring injury. However, with Flowers opening Week 3 prep as a spectator, his availability to return to action this Sunday now appears to be more uncertain. If Flowers ends up missing a second straight game, Rashod Bateman would be line for another turn as the Ravens' No. 1 receiver.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Douglas (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Douglas sustained an ankle injury late in Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco, and the injury puts his availability for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Chiefs in question. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Hafley was non-committal on the rookie wideout's availability for the weekend, so Douglas may need to return to full practice participation by Friday to have a realistic chance of playing against Kansas City. Through his first two NFL games, Douglas has produced a 7-113-0 receiving line on 10 targets.
