Jack Conklin OT | CLE
Browns' Jack Conklin: Ready for return
Conklin (concussion) did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Conklin missed Cleveland's Week 7 win over the Dolphins. He appears to have cleared concussion protocol, and should be set to suit up and start at right tackle in Week 8 against the Patriots.

Nate Hobbs CB | GB
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Back on injury report
Hobbs (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Hobbs was a late addition to Green Bay's injury report due to a knee injury last Friday but was able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. He ended up playing all of the Packers' defensive snaps in that game, finishing with six tackles. With that in mind, Hobbs' limited participation Wednesday may have been for maintenance reasons, though his status the remainder of the week should shed some light on whether he's at any risk of missing Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Shavon Revel Jr. CB | DAL
Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Logs limited practice
Revel (knee) turned in a limited practice Wednesday,Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Revel was a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, though he slipped further than anticipated due to a torn ACL. He's closing in on his NFL debut, but he'll likely use up some additional portion of his ramp-up period before being active for game day.

Upton Stout CB | SF
49ers' Upton Stout: Still nursing ankle issue
Stout (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Stout spent Week 7 on the sideline after injuring his ankle at practice during the week, and now his availability for Week 8 is in question, too. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Deommodore Lenoir CB | SF
49ers' Deommodore Lenoir: Tending to quad injury
Lenoir (quadricep) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Lenoir was on the field for 65 defensive snaps in Week 7 versus the Falcons, so it's not immediately clear when he suffered the injury. In any case, he'll likely have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play in Week 8 at Houston.
-
Kenny Clark NT | DAL
Cowboys' Kenny Clark: Limited Wednesday
Clark (elbow) turned in a limited practice Wednesday, Clarence Hill Jr. of AllDLLS.com reports.
Clark suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's win over the Commanders, and he was unable to return. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive, but his status for the Cowboys' Week 8 matchup against the Broncos is unclear.

Derek Barnett DE | HOU
Texans' Derek Barnett: Limited by ankle injury
Barnett was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Barnett logged 27 tackles (21 on defense, six on special teams) without recording a tackle during the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Seahawks on Monday. It appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process, and his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the 49ers on Sunday. The 2017 first-rounder has just three tackles (one solo) through six regular-season games.

Lukas Van Ness DE | GB
Packers' Lukas Van Ness: Sits out practice again Wednesday
Van Ness (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.
Van Ness is dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in Week 6 against Cincinnati. He didn't practice at all last week before missing Sunday's game against the Cardinals and still wasn't able to take the field to begin Week 8 prep. Van Ness was logging around half of Green Bay's defensive snaps on a weekly basis before getting hurt.

Brenden Bates TE | HOU
Texans' Brenden Bates: Dealing with wrist injury
Bates was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a wrist injury.
Bates likely picked up the injury during the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday, when he played nine snaps (one on offense, eight on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Devonte Wyatt DT | GB
Packers' Devonte Wyatt: Returns to practice
Wyatt (knee) participated in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Wyatt hurt his knee in Week 4 versus Dallas and hasn't played since. He hadn't been practicing before this week, so his return to the field -- albeit in limited fashion -- Wednesday is an encouraging sign. When asked about Wyatt's status Wednesday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said, "Wyatt, he'll get out there for practice today. We'll see how he practices this week," per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site.
