Wilson (rest/ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

After Wilson continued to wear a yellow non-contact jersey at Wednesday's session, his ensuing activity level mimics what transpired last week, when he initially donned the jersey. He relayed after this past Sunday's win at Dallas that he has two broken ribs, but the addition of rest on the injury report this week indicates he's preparing to continue to play through the issue. Friday's practice report will reveal if Wilson has a designation for Sunday's game in Seattle.

Lock (right elbow) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The Seahawks ruled out Sam Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, which places Lock in line for his second start of the campaign. However, Lock suffered a right elbow injury during Week 7 prep that left him as Seattle's emergency third quarterback the last two games. Assuming he gains clearance to suit up in Week 9, he'll be under center for Sunday's NFC West matchup.

Winters (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Winters was injured in Week 6 against Green Bay and has missed the past two contests. Shemar James and Demarvion Overshown handled linebacker duties last Sunday against the Cardinals.

Gainwell (hip) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report.

Gainwell sustained a hip injury during the Buccaneers' Week 7 win at Carolina, but he played through the issue en route to 14 carries for 88 yards. He then followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen last week before being listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Falcons, for which he was active. Gainwell then reeled off a career-best 140 yards on 25 carries while working in tandem with fellow RB Bucky Irving. With a capped session under his belt to begin this week, Gainwell seems to be in a better spot than he was a week ago, but Friday's practice report will reveal if he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Dallas was signed to the Vikings' active roster Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official website reports.

Dallas will return to the active roster after playing in the first five contests of the year with the Vikings before being released and ultimately returning to the team as a member of the practice squad in late October. The running back has rushed four times for 14 yards and caught all four of his targets for 34 yards over seven contests with Minnesota this year, and he figures to operate in an extreme depth role behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason on Monday night versus Buffalo.

Okereke (foot) didn't participate in Carolina's practice Wednesday.

Okereke popped up on the injury report due to a foot injury and is now in danger of missing his first game of the season. If the 2019 third-round pick ends up being unable to play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tyrel Dodson would likely get the start in his place.

Chicago signed Carlson from its practice squad to its 53-man roster Wednesday, Brendan Sugrue of USA Today reports.

When Cole Kmet went to the Bears' injured reserve list with a season-ending knee injury following Week 7, it left the team with just two healthy tight ends on its active roster, so the move gives the club some much-needed depth at the position. As long as starter Colston Loveland and rookie third-rounder Sam Roush remain available, though, Carlson's role will likely be limited as the season progresses.

The Raiders activated Runyon (foot) from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Runyon has been on Las Vegas' injured reserve list since August with a foot injury, but it looks like he's finally on track to make his 2026 regular-season debut in Week 9. Over 13 games in 2025, the vast majority of his snaps came on special teams.

Rivers (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

Rivers made his return to practice Wednesday, operating as a full participant at the team's first session of the week, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. The running back has been on injured reserve since late September after suffering a calf injury in Week 2 against the Giants, but he could be back in action as soon as Sunday versus the Commanders.

Monangai (thumb/toe) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Monangai continues to be listed as a DNP due to the turf-toe injury that's held him out of the last four games. It doesn't bode well for his odds to return to action Sunday against the Buccaneers that he remains sidelined, and the Bears have a Week 10 bye, so the team may be focused on getting him healthy for the final eight contests of the campaign. D'Andre Swift will continue to lead Chicago's backfield for as long as Monangai is out, with Roschon Johnson picking up the scraps behind Swift.
