  • Sam Ehlinger QB | DEN

    Sam Ehlinger: Back on Denver's practice squad

    The Broncos signed Ehlinger to the practice squad Wednesday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

    Ehlinger was released from the Broncos' active roster Tuesday to make room for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, but the former has returned to Denver as a member of the team's practice squad. Ehlinger would be in line to be elevated to the active roster if Bo Nix or Jarrett Stidham miss time due to injury, illness or suspension.

  • Cordale Flott CB | NYG

    Giants' Cor'Dale Flott: Unable to practice Wednesday

    Flott (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Flott sustained a concussion during Sunday's game at Philadelphia, and now he's sitting out practice as the Giants begin preparations for Week 9. He'll probably need to get back to practice Thursday or Friday to have a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

  • Paulson Adebo CB | NYG

    Giants' Paulson Adebo: Not practicing Wednesday

    Adebo (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Adebo was already expected to miss multiple weeks with the sprained MCL he suffered in Week 7 at Denver, so it's not a surprise to see he's still not in football shape just yet. Unless he manages to return to practice Thursday or Friday, he figures to be sidelined in Week 9 versus the 49ers.

  • Jakob Johnson RB | HOU

    Texans' Jakob Johnson: Designated to return from IR

    The Texans designated Johnson (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Johnson has been on IR for the four-game minimum due to a hamstring injury he sustained in late September. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, and he would likely have to log full practices before being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

  • Beaux Collins WR | NYG

    Giants' Beaux Collins: Dealing with quad issue

    Collins (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    It's not immediately clear when Collins picked up the injury, but his activity at practice at least suggests it's not severe. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to a full practice before the Giants' final practice report of the week is released Friday.

  • Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: Logs limited session

    Stevenson (shoulder) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

    Stevenson missed Sunday's loss to Baltimore with the shoulder injury, so it's positive to see him return to the field. His status for the Bears' Week 9 matchup against the Bengals remains unclear.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Dealing with neck injury

    Skowronek (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Skowronek may have tweaked his neck during the Steelers' Week 8 loss to the Packers, when he played 39 snaps (11 on offense, 28 on special teams) while hauling in his lone target for a 13-yard catch. He has mostly served on special teams this season but would have a slightly expanded role on offense for as long as Scotty Miller is sidelined due to a broken finger. Skowronek's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Colts on Sunday.

  • Mac Jones QB | SF

    49ers' Mac Jones: Full practice Wednesday

    Jones (knees) practiced in full Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jones sustained a knee contusion this past Sunday at Houston, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Jones then was listed with both knees to begin Week 9 prep, but neither issue impacted his practice reps Wednesday. Meanwhile, No. 1 QB Brock Purdy remained limited due to his lingering turf toe injury, which came on the heels of Shanahan telling Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com on Monday that he didn't "think it's a long shot" for Purdy to play Sunday at the Giants. Purdy likely will need to log a full practice Thursday or Friday in order to be cleared for game action, so the 49ers' next two injury reports will be of keen interest to get a sense of who between Purdy and Jones will be under center this weekend.

  • Scott Miller WR | PIT

    Steelers' Scotty Miller: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Miller broke his finger in practice during the Steelers' Week 8 prep, which prevented him from playing against the Packers on Sunday. He would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing in Week 9 against the Colts. Ben Skowronek (neck) will continue to see additional snaps at wide receiver for as long as Miller is sidelined.

  • Bears' Roschon Johnson: Still not practicing

    Johnson (back) did not practice Wednesday.

    Johnson missed the Bears' Week 8 loss with the same back injury, and it's not a positive sign that he was unable to take the field Wednesday. He'll likely need to increase his activity Thursday to have a chance to return in Week 9 against the Bengals.
