Brisker (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Brisker was unable to participate in the preseason due to a persistent undisclosed issue. The starting free safety appears to have overcome the injury just in time for the first official week of regular-season practice and is all set to go for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Bako-Bewele (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Bako-Bewele is working his way back from offseason surgery to repair a partially torn patellar tendon. While he isn't a lock to suit up for the NFC North clash with the Vikings, his limited participation in Wednesday's practice keeps the door open for Week 1.

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

Skowronek was placed in concussion protocol at the end of August after the wide receiver suffered a head injury in the Steelers' 28-27 preseason loss to the Bills. The 29-year-old progressed through the entirety of the league's five-step protocol and was cleared by an independent neurologist before Wednesday's first official practice.

Mays (wrist) is looking to return from injured reserve by mid-October, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Mays was placed on IR during the Aug. 30 cutdown day. The center fractured his wrist during the preseason, but is eyeing a quick month and a half of downtime before being able to return to protecting Jared Goff. While Mays remains on IR, Juice Scruggs will be the starting safety for the Lions.

Tuipulotu (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Tuipulotu is still recovering from a hip injury he suffered during the preseason. The linebacker's designation as limited in Wednesday's first official practice is a good sign for his eligibility for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals. The 24-year-old will likely need to log two more practices, preferably full, to be cleared and ready to suit up for the contest.

Garrett (knee) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Garrett was contained to work on the side with the Rams' training staff, at best, during training camp due to swelling in his knee. He recently mixed into drills this past weekend as the team prepared for the trip to Melbourne, Australia, and while he was listed as a DNP on Tuesday, he was listed as FP on L.A.'s injury report Wednesday, setting the stage for him to make his Rams debut Thursday against the 49ers.

Bates (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's practice.

Despite dealing with a hamstring issue throughout the preseason, Bates is not listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of the Week 1 meeting with the Eagles. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Commanders, most recently catching 11 passes for 103 yards and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.

Thompson (undisclosed) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Thompson returned to practice Monday after missing the last two weeks with an undisclosed issue. The wide receiver's designation as limited in Wednesday's first official practice means he may be able to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals.

Sinnott (oblique) practiced in full Wednesday.

Sinnott has been battling an oblique injury since the preseason. However, his full participation in Wednesday's practice suggests he is cleared to suit up for the Week 1 meeting with the Eagles. The 24-year-old appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Commanders in 2025, totaling 11 catches for 114 yards and one touchdown.

Dicker (undisclosed) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Dicker was working through an undisclosed issue toward the tail end of training camp, but his absence from the Chargers' first injury report of the week indicates that he's fully healthy for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals. Dicker was a top-5 kicker in fantasy last season, connecting on 38 of 41 field-goal attempts (including 12-for-13 on attempts from 50-plus yards) while making 34 of 35 extra-point tries across 17 regular-season games. His scoring output could increase this season if the Chargers' offense levels up under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
