Frazier (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

Frazier has missed the Lions' first eight games this season due to a knee injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The Lions now have 21 days to activate the rookie offensive lineman to the active roster before he reverts to the reserve/PUP list, and he's likely to operate as one of Detroit's top reserve guards once fully healthy.

Stevenson (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, has two more chances to practice before injury designations are assigned for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In his absence versus Atlanta, TreVeyon Henderson started and logged a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times and recording one target.

Smith (undisclosed) was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The 2025 third-round pick from USC played 33 total snaps (25 on special teams, eight on defense) and recorded two total tackles in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, but he appears to have sustained an injury in the process. Smith will now be forced to miss the team's next four games on IR. Expect Tremon Smith to operate as Houston's top reserve boundary corner while the rookie is sidelined.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
