Adam Butler DT | LV
Raiders' Adam Butler: Misses practice Wednesday
Butler (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Coach Pete Carroll, however, said the Raiders expect Butler to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Butler was injured in the Raiders' pre-bye Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, though he didn't log a defensive snap in that contest. The veteran defensive tackle has 19 tackles (nine solo) and one fumble recovery across 282 defensive snaps this season.

Quintin Morris TE | JAC
Jaguars' Quintin Morris: Still dealing with groin issue
Morris (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Morris missed the Jaguars' last game before their Week 8 bye versus the Rams with a groin injury, and it's still bothering him even after the extra week of rest. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Terrion Arnold CB | DET
Lions' Terrion Arnold: Estimated as full participant
Detroit listed Arnold (shoulder) as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
The Lions didn't hold an official practice Wednesday, but Arnold's estimation as a full participant indicates that he is past a shoulder injury that caused him to miss the two games prior to Detroit's Week 8 bye. Unless he suffers a setback over the next two practices, Arnold is in line to make his return against the Vikings on Sunday. His return would bolster a Lions secondary that is dealing with injuries to Kerby Joseph (knee) and Avonte Maddox (hamstring).

Jalen Pitre SAF | HOU
Texans' Jalen Pitre: Nursing foot issue
Pitre (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Pitre was on the field for nearly all of Houston's defensive snaps during Sunday's game versus the 49ers, so it's not immediately apparent when he suffered the foot injury. In any case, he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Houston releases its final practice report of the week Friday.

Craig Reynolds RB | DET
Lions' Craig Reynolds: Estimated as DNP on Wednesday
The Lions listed Reynolds (hamstring) as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
The Lions didn't hold a practice Wednesday, so Reynold's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Vikings on Sunday. He sustained a hamstring injury against the Buccaneers in Week 7, but he's had extra time to recover thanks to the Lions' Week 8 bye. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his absence would mean the Lions would have less backfield depth behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Braxton Berrios WR | HOU
Texans' Braxton Berrios: Tending to chest issue
Berrios (chest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
It's not obvious when Berrios hurt his chest, but that he was able to practice in some capacity Wednesday signals it's not too serious. He'll get two more chances to practice in full before Houston publishes its last practice report of the week Friday.

John Rhys Plumlee WR | PIT
John Rhys Plumlee: Signs with Pittsburgh
Plumlee (undisclosed) signed with the Steelers' practice squad Wednesday.
Plumlee spent the offseason with the Seahawks but landed on injured reserve in late August prior to reaching an injury settlement. Plumlee will provide organizational depth behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.

Jevon Holland SAF | NYG
Giants' Jevon Holland: Returns to practice Wednesday
Holland (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, Holland expressed optimism Wednesday that he might be able to suit up in Week 9. With that said, he'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Evan Hull RB | NO
Evan Hull: Signs with New Orleans
Hull signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
The 25-year-old running back was a fifth-round pick in the 2023 Draft by the Colts but has appeared in just two career regular-season contests. With Kendre Miller (knee) done for the season, Hull provides the Saints organizational depth.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Officially limited in return to practice
Nacua (ankle) officially was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
After coach Sean McVay told Grosbard that Nacua would be limited in his return to practice Wednesday, the wide receiver was seen looking crisp while making cuts and running routes, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Nacua initially suffered a low left-ankle sprain Week 6 at Baltimore and then sat out a Week 7 matchup with the Jaguars in London, but with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, it appears he'll miss just one game as a result of the injury. He'll have two more chances to get back to full practice participation before the Rams potentially clear him ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.
