Morris (groin) was a full participant in Jacksonville's practice Wednesday.

Morris returned to practice after missing the past two games with a groin injury. The 26-year-old has yet to record a catch this season and should continue to see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Arizona signed Deguara on Wednesday.

Deguara was cut by the Cardinals on Tuesday, but with the passing of the trade deadline, he'll rejoin the 53-man roster just one day later. He'll serve as a depth tight end and should have a role on special teams for the Cardinals in this Sunday's game in Seattle.

Washington (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Washington played 52 snaps (41 on offense, 11 on special teams) and logged four catches (on six targets) for 43 yards during the Steelers' Week 9 win over the Colts, but the third-year pro appears to have sustained a foot injury in the process. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Adkins (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Denver's game against the Raiders on Thursday.

Adkins is set to miss his second straight game. He has been unable to practice in any capacity since originally suffering the injury, so it's unclear when he may be able to return. Adam Trautman played a season-high 73 percent of offensive snaps in Adkins' absence in Week 9, and he should see an expanded role once again.

Barner was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Barner has earned at least an 80 percent snap share in six of eight games this season, but the cumulative results in the box score (21 catches for 236 yards on 26 targets) have been tepid aside from his penchant for getting in the end zone, which he's done four times. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Smartt (quadriceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Smartt sat out Week 8 at Cincinnati with a quadriceps injury prior to the Jets' bye in Week 9, but he's now on track to suit up in Week 10 versus the Browns. Of his 46 snaps so far this season, 45 have come on special teams.

Schultz (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Schultz, who continues to manage knee and shoulder issues, didn't practice either Wednesday or Thursday last week before logging a full practice Friday and playing in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, a game in which he caught six of his eight targets for a team-high 77 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday are presumably maintenance-related.

Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Johnson has taken full advantage of his 33 targets over the last six games, hauling in 20 for 190 yards and five touchdowns. All of them have come with rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart directing the offense, but Johnson now is dealing with a health concern. Johnson's status will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday in Chicago.

Bellinger (neck) practiced fully Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Bellinger dealt with a neck injury during Week 8 prep, and while he was cleared to face the Eagles that week, he left that game due to a neck concern. He proceeded to miss every practice last week before being inactive this past Sunday against the 49ers. Now with a full session under his belt, Bellinger appears on pace to return to action Sunday at Chicago.

Hill (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill is practicing for the first time since sustaining an ankle injury that's forced him to miss back-to-back contests. If he's able to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Bills, Hill will get a chance to operate as the No. 1 tight end for Miami, with Darren Waller (pectoral) still on IR. In Hill's absence, Greg Dulcich has shown flashes as a pass catcher while working alongside Tanner Conner.
