Jabrill Peppers FS | PIT
Steelers' Jabrill Peppers: Still sidelined Wednesday
Peppers (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.comreports.
Peppers was held out of Sunday's win over the Colts after suffering the quad injury during practice. It's concerning that he's still sidelined, but he'll still have two days to increase his participation and have a chance to suit up in Week 10 against the Chargers.

Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Returns to practice
Morris (groin) was a full participant in Jacksonville's practice Wednesday.
Morris returned to practice after missing the past two games with a groin injury. The 26-year-old has yet to record a catch this season and should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Josiah Deguara TE | ARI
Cardinals' Josiah Deguara: Back with Cards
Arizona signed Deguara on Wednesday.
Deguara was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but with the passing of the trade deadline, he'll rejoin the 53-man roster just one day later. He'll serve as a depth tight end and should have a role on special teams for the Cardinals in this Sunday's game in Seattle.

DaVon Hamilton DT | JAC
Jaguars' DaVon Hamilton: Dealing with back injury
Hamilton (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Hamilton may have tweaked his back during Jacksonville's Week 9 overtime win over Las Vegas, when he played 41 snaps (37 on defense, four on special teams) without recording a tackle. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's game against Houston. The 2020 third-rounder has 17 tackles (seven solo) through eight regular-season games.

Tim Patrick WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Patrick: Good to go for Week 10
Patrick (groin) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Patrick appears to be all set to return to action in Week 10 against the Texans after missing the team's Week 9 win over the Raiders due to a groin injury. With Brian Thomas (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion) banged up and Jakobi Meyers still acclimating himself with the Jaguars, it's possible that Patrick steps into a larger role versus Houston on Sunday.

Cole Holcomb LB | PIT
Steelers' Cole Holcomb: Still no practice
Holcomb (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Holcomb missed the Steelers' Week 9 contest with the same illness. It's not a great sign that he's still sidelined, though he'll still have two days to log some practice activity ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
-
Dennis Gardeck LB | JAC
Jaguars' Dennis Gardeck: Nursing chest injury
Gardeck (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Gardeck likely picked up the injury during the Jaguars' Week 9 overtime win over the Raiders, when he logged five tackles (three solo) while playing 35 snaps (19 on defense, 16 on special teams). The injury wasn't severe enough for him to miss Wednesday's practice entirely, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice in full and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC South tilt against the Texans.

Alex Highsmith LB | PIT
Steelers' Alex Highsmith: Ankle injury pops back up
Highsmith (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Highsmith had a big performance in Sunday's win over the Colts, logging 2.0 sacks and a forced fumble. However, he was sidelined to begin the week of preparation for a Week 10 matchup against the Chargers. Highsmith missed two games earlier in the season with an ankle issue, so it's possible the injury was aggravated, or he could simply be getting a veteran's day off.

Chuck Clark DB | PIT
Steelers' Chuck Clark: Gets in full practice Wednesday
Clark (illness) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.
Clark missed Sunday's game versus the Colts with an illness, but it seems like he's on track to return to action in Week 10. However, with the Steelers' recent acquisition of safety Kyle Dugger via trade, it's not totally clear what role Clark will have against the Chargers on Sunday.

Scott Miller WR | PIT
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Still working through finger injury
Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday.
Miller has missed the Steelers' last two games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury, and he's unlikely to play against the Chargers on Sunday if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days.
