  • Hunter Long TE | JAC

    Jaguars' Hunter Long: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Long (hip/knee) is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.comreports.

    Long remains positioned as Jacksonville's incumbent top tight end with Brenton Strange (quadriceps) not expected to come off IR until Week 11 at the earliest. However, due to a pair of injuries, Long's status now also appears uncertain for Sunday's road matchup against the Texans. He briefly exited Jacksonville's narrow win over the Raiders in Week 9 as a result of his hip and knee injuries but managed to retake the field and finish with a 66 percent snap share on offense.

  • Darrell Taylor DE | HOU

    Texans' Darrell Taylor: Shifts to IR

    Taylor (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

    The 28-year-old sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, and his placement on IR on Wednesday suggests the issue is serious. Taylor will now be forced to miss the team's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs.

  • Alijah Huzzie CB | HOU

    Texans' Alijah Huzzie: Activated Wednesday

    Huzzie (knee) was activated from the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday.

    The North Carolina product has yet to make his NFL debut after missing the Texans' first eight games this season due to a knee injury. Now fully healthy, Huzzie is likely to operate as one of the Texans' reserve slot corners while potentially contributing on special teams as the season progresses.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Not seen at practice Wednesday

    Thomas (left ankle/shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Thomas, who had been managing a shoulder issue, is now dealing with what Adam Schefter of ESPN describes as a low-grade high ankle sprain. Per Schefter, the wideout has a chance to play Sunday against the Texans, but Wednesday's absence now gives Thomas two more opportunities to practice before the Jaguars' Week 10 injury designations are assigned. With Thomas banged up, Travis Hunter (knee) on IR, Dyami Brown having sustained a concussion this past Sunday, and Tim Patrick (groin) also injured, the Jaguars' WR depth is currently taxed, a situation the team addressed by trading for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday.

  • Tyler McLellan: Moves to injured list

    McLellan (undisclosed) was placed on the practice squad injured list Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    McLellan appears to have sustained an undisclosed injury that will sideline him for at least the Buccaneers' next four contests. He's yet to appear in an NFL game after going undrafted out of Campbell in 2024.

  • DaQuan Jones DT | BUF

    Bills' DaQuan Jones: Won't practice Wednesday

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    The 33-year-old has missed each of the Bills' last three games due to a calf injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he isn't nearing a return. Jones is one of Buffalo's top interior defensive linemen, recording eight total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over just five appearances this season. If he's sidelined again in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins, expect Deone Walker to have an expanded role on the Bills' defense.

  • Bills' Shaq Thompson: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Thompson (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Thompson was held out of the Bills' Week 9 win over the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined at Wednesday's practice. The 31-year-old likely needs to upgrade to at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in the Week 10 contest against the Dolphins. If Thompson returns Sunday, he's expected to operate as the Bills' top reserve inside linebacker.

  • Taron Johnson CB | BUF

    Bills' Taron Johnson: Sidelined Wednesday

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Johnson (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Johnson was sidelined for the Bills' Week 9 win over Chiefs due to a groin injury likely sustained in practice. The Weber State product is an integral part of Buffalo's secondary, recording 25 total tackles and two passes defended across six appearances this season. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Joey Bosa DE | BUF

    Bills' Joey Bosa: Won't practice Wednesday

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that Bosa (wrist) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Despite playing 44 defensive snaps and recording three total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Chiefs, the veteran defensive lineman appears to have sustained a wrist injury. Bosa's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the clearest indication on whether he can suit up for the Week 10 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.

  • Dalton Keene TE | HOU

    Dalton Keene: Out in Houston

    Keene was cut from the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

    Keene signed with the Texans practice squad just one week ago, but it now appears as if the team has decided to move in a different direction. In a corresponding move, Houston added veteran kicker Matthew Wright to its practice squad Wednesday after Ka'imi Fairbairn (lower body) suffered an injury.
