Anderson (knee) was placed on the reserve/injured list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Anderson has appeared in nine games for the Steelers this season, but he suffered a knee injury in Week 13 that could cost him the rest of his season. He won't be eligible to be activated until the postseason, if Pittsburgh qualifies.

Tuttle (concussion) was a full participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday.

Tuttle has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a concussion but is now closer to returning. However, the 30-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's game versus the 49ers.

Jackson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson continues to work through a neck issue that has sidelined him for the Vikings' last two games. He would be on track to return against the Cowboys on Sunday if he were to practice in full over the next two days. Jackson's return would lead to less defensive snaps being available for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward.

Fant (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Fant missed Washington's Week 14 matchup against the Vikings with a knee injury, but it appears he's made a quick recovery. He should return to a depth tackle role in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Metellus (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Metellus played every single defensive snap during the Vikings' Week 14 win over the Commanders, but he appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. His ability to practice Wednesday indicates that the injury isn't considered serious, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Cowboys.

Ezeudu (calf) was a full participant in the Giants' practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

Ezeudu has been sidelined all season due to a calf injury but appears closer to making his return. The team will still have to activate the 26-year-old off injured reserve before he's eligible to play. Once healthy, Ezeudu should provide additional depth at offensive tackle.

Chandler (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Chandler continues to progress in his recovery from a knee injury that he sustained in the Vikings' regular-season opener against the Bears. He would have to be activated from injured reserve in order to play Sunday against the Cowboys, and if he is cleared to play, he would serve as the Vikings' RB3 behind Aaron Jones (shoulder) and Jordan Mason.

Van Roten (shoulder ) didn't participate in the Giants' practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

Van Roten popped up on the injury report Wednesday and is now in danger of missing his first game of the season. If the 35-year-old ends up being unable to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Commanders, Aaron Stinnie would likely start at right guard in his place.

Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Dissly likely picked up the injury during Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles, when he played 40 snaps (27 on offense, 13 on special teams) and caught a one-yard pass on his only target from Justin Herbert (left hand). Dissly will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's AFC West tilt against the Chiefs.

Pipkins (ankle) didn't participate in the Chargers' practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Pipkins is still battling the ankle injury he sustained during the Week 14 win over the Eagles. If the 29-year-old ends up being forced to miss Sunday's matchup versus the Cowboys, Trevor Penning should serve as the team's primary backup tackle.
