Shakir (undisclosed) isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

Shakir now will miss a second consecutive exhibition due to an undisclosed injury that has sidelined him for the past week. Fellow position mates Keon Coleman (foot/toe) and Tyrell Shavers (knee, active/PUP) also aren't suited up Thursday. Shakir will set his sights on getting healthy for the Bills' Week 1 road matchup with the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Jacobs (groin), who was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors stemming from his May arrest, is scheduled for an initial court appearance Nov. 17, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs is facing misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property charges, with NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy saying in a statement Thursday, "We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review." Demovsky notes that Jacobs could be subject to a suspension by the NFL, which is conducting its own investigation on the matter, adding that it's up to the league to decide whether or not to wait until the legal process is completed before any determination is made. In a statement Thursday, the Packers said, "We are aware of the charges brought against Josh Jacobs. We will continue to cooperate with the NFL as we work through the process. We will have no further comment at this time."

Coleman (right foot/toe) isn't in uniform for Thursday's preseason game against the Steelers, but he wasn't wearing a walking boot, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.

Coleman has been tending to a sprained right foot/toe that he sustained in the Bills' exhibition opener, which forced him to don a low walking boot since then. Shedding the boot is a positive sign in his recovery effort, but Coleman will join Khalil Shakir (undisclosed) and Tyrell Shavers (knee, active/PUP) as injured Buffalo wide receivers that won't suit up Thursday. Coleman will turn his focus to getting completely healthy for the team's regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 13 at Houston.

Jacobs (groin) was formally charged with two misdemeanors Thursday related to his May arrest, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Jacobs was arrested on five charges in May, and he has officially been charged with "misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property." Per the report, "The NFL has been monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review."

Atwell was traded to the Rams on Thursday in exchange for running back Jarquez Hunter, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Atwell joined the Rams over the offseason after spending five seasons with the Rams, but he will return to his old stomping grounds before the regular season gets underway. He will compete with the likes of Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield for snaps behind starters Puka Nacua (groin) and Davante Adams.

Price will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Price has practiced for over a week since recovering from a lower-body injury, so Friday's absence will not be injury-related. However, it is notable that the rookie will not make his first appearance in an NFL uniform until Week 1. It remains to be seen what Seattle's depth chart will look like heading into the regular season, but with Zach Charbonnet (knee) unavailable Price figures to fill a key role out of the gate in a Seattle backfield that also includes George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring).

Robinson is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hard hit in Thursday's joint practice with the Bears, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Robinson, per the report, was able to walk off the field under his own power, but he will still undergo tests to determine if he sustained a concussion. Another update on his status figures to be released after the results of the exams have been read.

Allen will make his first appearance with the Colts in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Allen began practicing with the Colts a week ago, and he is now set to see action in a game setting for the first time since joining Indianapolis earlier this month. Fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf) are both banged up, but both have a chance to take the field in Week 1, so Allen will presumably open the regular season as the third option at the wideout spot for the Colts.

Pacheco's knee injury, per head coach Dan Campbell, is not a concern, but he is now dealing with a back injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Pacheco has been out of action with an MCL sprain, and although he seems to have moved past the knee issue he is now dealing with another injury. Campbell noted that Pacheco was feeling better Wednesday, but further details were not provided, so it's unclear if the latest setback will affect his availability for Week 1.

Smith is signing a one-year contract with the Packers, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Smith has been without a team since being released by the Steelers in March, but he has found a new home in Green Bay. Tucker Kraft (knee) is the established top tight end for the Packers, but the team lacks depth behind him -- particularly with Luke Musgrave (neck) on the Active/PUP list -- and Smith immediately becomes the second most intriguing tight end on the roster for fantasy purposes.
