Johnson (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Johnson caught two of three passes for 35 yards during the Giants' 27-27 tie against the Commanders in Week 5, but he may have tweaked his neck at some point during the game. He would avoid an injury tag for Sunday's contest against the Saints if he can log a full practice in one of the next two days of practice.

Tremble (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Tremble played a reduced role at tight end in Week 4 versus Detroit before the Panthers' bye in Week 5, and it seems plausible that whatever rib injury he's dealing with now could also have been the reason for that. In any case, he'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Moore (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

The Bills conducted a walkthrough Wednesday after playing Monday night, but Moore would not have gotten any work in had the Bills decided to practice. Moore will have a couple chances to practice before the week comes to a close, but with Buffalo on bye in Week 7, the team could decide to hold him out again Sunday in an effort to maximize the recovery time.

Winfield (ribs) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.

Winfield suffered a rib fracture in Week 4 against the Packers, and he was sidelined for the team's Week 5 win over the Cowboys as a result. The safety has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice, and he'll have two more chances to return to the field prior to Sunday's matchup with the Steelers. If Winfield remains sidelined in Week 6, Ifeatu Melifonwu would stand to draw a second consecutive start at free safety.

Mooney (neck) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Mooney may have tweaked his neck during the Giants' 27-27 tie to the Commanders in Week 5, when caught two of seven targets for 14 yards. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Mooney has just eight catches (on 17 targets) for 109 yards through five games and has taken a back seat in the passing game behind Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely.

Martin-Robinson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Martin-Robinson logged his first practice since sustaining a hamstring injury in last Thursday's session. The tight end's limited participation suggests he is still working through the injury. It is unclear whether the 26-year-old will be back to playing shape in time for the Titans' contest against the Colts on Sunday.

Etienne (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

The Panthers designated Etienne for return to practice from their injured reserve list Tuesday, and it seems like there's a chance he could be officially activated for Week 6. With free-agent acquisition AJ Dillon also tending to an ankle issue and Jonathon Brooks (abdomen) on IR, a significant role could be in store for Etienne come Sunday if he does suit up at Philadelphia.

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

Slayton popped up on Friday's injury practice due to a knee issue, which ultimately led to him being sidelined for the Colts' 34-22 loss to the Steelers this past Sunday. However, his ability to practice in full puts Slayton on track to make his Colts debut this Sunday against the Titans. The veteran wide receiver may see a decent workload in his Indianapolis debut, given that Josh Downs is working through a hamstring issue.

Hooker (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Hooker did not participate in a single Week 5 prep session as he dealt with a concussion sustained against the Ravens in the Titans' Week 4 loss. The strong safety's upgrade to limited participation to start the week is a strong sign that he should be able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the team's Week 6 showdown with the Colts.

Dillon (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

It's not clear when Dillon suffered the ankle injury, but it puts his availability for Week 6 in doubt. He'll likely have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to put himself back on track to play Sunday at Philadelphia.
