Deablo (forearm) was considered to be a limited participant at the Falcons' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Deablo has missed back-to-back games while nursing a forearm injury that he suffered in Week 6 against Chicago. The linebacker's ability to be limited Wednesday is a step in the right direction, but he will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and move past the forearm issue before Sunday's contest versus the Bengals.

McDuffie (back) did not participate at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

McDuffie suffered a back injury during the team's 24-9 win over the Chargers in Week 8, and he has now opened the week as a non-participant at practice. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice and prove his health prior to Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Newton (pectoral) practiced in full Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports.

Newton remains on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window was opened last week. He's closing in on a return to the lineup and is needed even more now that Javon Kinlaw (knee) and Daron Payne (toe) are on injured reserve.

Curl (foot) did not participate at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Curl notched four total tackles (one solo) during the team's 24-9 win over the Chargers in Week 8, but he may have picked up a foot injury during the contest. The safety will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Whittington (back) was a limited participant at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Whittington was questionable to play in Week 8 versus the Chargers due to a back injury, but he was able to give it a go, failing to catch his only target while securing one tackle on special teams in the contest. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Meiga was cut from the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

The wide receiver was let go to make room for Adrian Martinez. Meiga has never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.

Blankenship (concussion/hand) did not participate at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Blankenship was forced to miss the team's last contest in Week 7 against the Giants while recovering from a concussion, and he may still remain in concussion protocol ahead of Week 9. The safety is also working his way back from a left hand injury that required surgery in late October. Blankenship will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's contest versus the Chargers.

Al-Shaair (groin) was a limited participant at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Al-Shaair appears to be dealing with a groin injury coming out of Houston's bye week in Week 8. The linebacker's ability to practice in any capacity would suggest it's a minor issue, but he will have two more chances to practice in full and prove his health before Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

Pitre (shoulder) was a full participant in Houston's practice Wednesday.

Pitre is healthy again after missing the past two games due to an AC joint injury. The 2022 second-round pick should resume his role as the team's starting slot cornerback during Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Campbell (hamstring/quadriceps) did not participate at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Campbell was unable to play in the team's Week 8 loss to the Commanders while nursing hamstring and quadriceps injuries, and he appears to still be dealing with the injuries ahead of Week 9. The linebacker will have two more opportunities to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
