Jalen Coker WR | CAR
Panthers' Jalen Coker: Limited with ankle issue Wednesday
Coker (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
An ankle injury slowed Coker in practice last week as well, but he was able to play through it and register eight grabs in the win over the Falcons. He was limited Wednesday, and this could be the norm for Coker during the week until he's back to 100 percent. At this stage, his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns does not appear to be in question.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Practicing, but not taking contact
Moore (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, logging just 23 snaps while finishing with no targets and one carry for minus-1 yard during his limited time on the field. Though he appears set to go down as a limited practice participant on the Bills' first Week 3 injury report, Moore's presence on the field is generally a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Not seen at practice
Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Since injuring his hamstring at practice last Wednesday, Collins hasn't logged any notable on-field work, which lines up with a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston that the wide receiver may miss two games as a result. Collins likely will need to mix into drills at some point by week's end in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday at Indianapolis.

Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN
Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Needs thumb surgery, bound for IR
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Iosivas tore a ligament in his thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Iosivas will require surgery to address the injury and is expected to need 4-to-6 weeks to make a full recovery. The Bengals' No. 3 wideout, Iosivas played more than half of the team's offensive snaps in both of the first two games of the season but has totaled just three receptions for 19 yards on four targets.
-
Zay Flowers WR | BAL
Ravens' Zay Flowers: Not involved in Wednesday's practice
Flowers (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
On Monday, head coach Jesse Minter said that Flowers had a "good shot" at playing in Sunday's game against the Cowboys in Brazil, after the star wideout missed the Ravens' Week 2 loss to the Saints due to the hamstring injury. However, with Flowers opening Week 3 prep as a spectator, his availability to return to action this Sunday now appears to be more uncertain. If Flowers ends up missing a second straight game, Rashod Bateman would be line for another turn as the Ravens' No. 1 receiver.

Caleb Douglas WR | MIA
Dolphins' Caleb Douglas: Not ready to practice
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Douglas (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Douglas sustained an ankle injury late in Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco, and the injury puts his availability for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Chiefs in question. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Hafley was non-committal on the rookie wideout's availability for the weekend, so Douglas may need to return to full practice participation by Friday to have a realistic chance of playing against Kansas City. Through his first two NFL games, Douglas has produced a 7-113-0 receiving line on 10 targets.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Steelers' Michael Pittman: Back at practice Wednesday
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Pittman (foot) will practice Wednesday and is likely to be a limited participant, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Pittman was limited to open Week 2 prep, then didn't practice in any capacity last Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. He was ultimately inactive for the Steelers' eventual 20-3 loss, but Pittman will take a step forward to begin Week 3 prep by getting back on the practice field. Pittman will likely need to upgrade to full activity by Friday to avoid carrying a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Bound for IR
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Pierce (heel) will be placed on injured reserve and is without a timeline for a return, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Pierce -- who had surgery on the same left heel and ankle in late March -- will avoid another procedure and will instead treat the injury with rest and rehab after he suffered an aggravation in this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. Pierce's impending move to IR means that he'll be sidelined for at least the Colts' next four games, with his availability beyond that set to be determined by how he responds to rehab. Given the recurring nature of the injury, the Colts could have Pierce take a conservative approach with his recovery program, especially after the team signed him to a lavish four-year, $114 million contract in the offseason.

Jalen Royals WR | KC
Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Scores touchdown in OT win
Royals caught both of his targets for six yards and a touchdown while logging two tackles on kick coverage in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.
Royals made an impact on his 12 offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps. The wide receiver scored the Chiefs' last touchdown of the game midway through the third quarter on a 1-yard pass. The fourth-round rookie may see an uptick in usage if coach Andy Reid finds new ways to use the speedy young player as the season develops.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Colts' Laquon Treadwell: Catches three targets in loss
Treadwell caught all three of his targets for 61 yards and made one tackle on kick coverage in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Treadwell played 48 of the Colts' 65 offensive snaps due to the injuries to Alec Pierce (heel, in-game injury) and Ashton Dulin (ankle). The wide receiver also logged 17 special-teams snaps, stepping up for the team in multiple phases even though it ultimately fell in a close game.
