Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Brown has been sidelined for each of the team's last three contests while nursing an ankle injury, but his limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice and officially move past the ankle issue prior to Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Porter (illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice session, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

An illness prevented Porter from playing against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was cleared to return to on-field activities during the first practice of Week 6 prep. A full practice over the next two days would likely be enough for Porter to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's road game against the Packers. He figures to start opposite DaRon Bland at outside cornerback, with Cobie Durant (hamstring) and Ameer Speed (knee) providing depth at the position.

Nixon (groin) did not participate at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Nixon is dealing with an apparent groin injury to open the week after recording six total tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during the team's 31-7 win over the Bears in Week 5. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Brown (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Brown exited the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Eagles early with a hamstring issue. The cornerback likely aggravated his prior injury and it is unclear how long the repercussions will affect the 27-year-old.

Deablo (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Deablo was able to play through his hamstring injury in Sunday's game versus the Ravens, but it still appears to be bothering him as Atlanta begins its preparations for Week 6. With that said, barring any setbacks, it still seems at this point that he's on track to play come Sunday versus the Bears.

Overshown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Overshown has missed the Cowboys' last four games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Giants. He's also been held out of practice since picking up his injury, so he would have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic shot at returning for this Sunday's road game against the Packers.

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

Thompson has returned to limited practice after logging consecutive DNPs in the lead-up to the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. The wide receiver did not participate in the contest and the weekend of rest appears to have boosted his recovery process. Thompson will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's session to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Williams (illness) was a limited participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Williams is dealing with an illness to open the week, and he was unable to be a full participant at practice as a result. The safety will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday night's matchup with the Cowboys.

The Ravens signed Moore to the practice squad Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Moore opened the regular season on the Ravens' practice squad before signing to the team's active roster in mid-September. He was released from the 53-man roster Tuesday, but the veteran wideout has elected to stay in Baltimore as a member of the team's practice squad. Moore could be elevated for Sunday's game against the Browns if Rashod Bateman (shoulder) is not cleared to play.

Hendrickson (finger) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Hendrickson has been sidelined for the past two games as he's been recovering from surgery on his finger, but he's now on pace to return to game action in Week 6. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that he doesn't believe Hendrickson will be limited by the wrap he plans to wear during Sunday's game against the Browns.
