Darden did not participate during the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday due to a tooth issue.

It's unclear how or when Darden sustained this injury after playing just 15 total snaps during Tampa Bay's Week 5 win over Atlanta. Either way, this issue now leaves his availability for Sunday's game against the Steelers up in the air. Darden has caught just one pass over the first five weeks of the season, though his potential absence should vault Scotty Miller into a role as Tampa Bay's primary punt returner.

Kupp didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Head coach Sean McVay told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times earlier Wednesday that the Rams will "be smart" with Kupp and a few other key contributors during Week 6 prep. Indeed, Kupp wasn't on the field during the media-access portion of Wednesday's session, and now a foot issue is to blame for the absence. As a result, his status will be one to monitor as the week unfolds to ensure he isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Panthers.

Goodwin (knee/back) was a full practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Goodwin's practice reps were affected last week due to knee and back injuries, which resulted in his first missed game of the campaign this past Sunday in New Orleans. Now that he's logged all activity to kick off Week 6 prep, he's ready to go ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Even if he handles his typical 47-percent share of the offensive snaps, though, Goodwin is a distant third to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett among Seattle's wide receivers, with just eight targets in four appearances this season.

London (knee) wasn't listed on the Falcons' first Week 6 injury report released Wednesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

London was bothered late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay by a knee issue, which caused him to limp to the sideline at one point. He's managed to avoid the injury report entirely just three days later and thus should be ready to go for a Week 6 matchup with the 49ers, who have allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game (148) but just two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through five contests this season.

Olave currently is in the third of five stages of the concussion protocol as of Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave left the Saints' Week 5 win against the Seahawks in third quarter after his helmet hit the turf as he hauled in a touchdown. While he wasn't able to practice Wednesday, Olave took part in stretching before going to the side at the start of the session. His activity was consistent with the third stage of the protocol for head injuries, which allows for football-specific exercise. Next up will be non-contact drills, so Olave's status on Thursday's report may reveal that he's made additional progress.

Kupp wasn't practicing during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Earlier Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay told Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times that the Rams will "be smart" with Kupp, Tyler Higbee and a few other key players this week who are managing unspecified injuries. It's unclear what Kupp is dealing with at the moment, but Wednesday's injury report will be illuminating.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he expects the team to make Beckham (knee) another offer after the wideout expressed displeasure with the team's latest bid, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Beckham said he wants to play for the Rams but doesn't want to sign for less than what he's worth. Recent reports suggest he's aiming to be ready in mid-November and hopes to sign with a team before receiving medical clearance to play in a game. Potential suitors besides the Rams include the Packers and Bills.

Perriman (knee/hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.

Prior to missing the Buccaneers' last two games, Perriman first didn't practice at all Week 4 before being listed as limited in all three of the Buccaneers' Week 5 practices. Now that he's back to handling every practice rep to begin Week 6, he's a step ahead of fellow injured wide receivers Chris Godwin (hip/knee), Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (ankle) and Jaelon Darden (tooth), all of whom were listed as limited or non-participants Wednesday. In three appearances this season, Perriman has averaged 14.8 yards on his six catches while scoring one touchdown on 12 targets.

Hill (foot) was a full practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill apparently isn't having any issues with the foot injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Jets. He should be out there this weekend against the Vikings, albeit with either Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) or Skylar Thompson playing quarterback while Tua Tagovailoa (knees) misses another game.

Allen (hamstring) was limited to running off to the side during Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller notes that Allen seemingly would "have to advance pretty quickly over the next few days" in order to play in Monday's game against the Broncos. The wideout seems to be making progress, however slow, with head coach Brandon Staley calling Allen day-to-day earlier this week. Allen hasn't played since Week 1.
