Harty (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Harty played 11 offensive snaps and caught his lone target for nine yards during Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay. He was the only wideout outside of the team's starting trio of Michael Thomas, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry to record a catch, but he appears to have come away from the contest with a foot injury. Harty has been competing with Marquez Callaway for the No. 4 wideout spot while Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) is sidelined, but Harty's potential absence would have a greater impact on New Orleans' return game. Regardless, Harty still has two practices to clear his foot issue before the team has to make a decision on his status for Week 3.

Jones (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

The Bears so far have filed seven injury reports this season, and Jones has been listed as a non-participant on six of them, only practicing last Wednesday in a limited capacity. A hamstring injury has thus far delayed his pro debut, and it's uncertain if he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Renfrow (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

In the coming days, Renfrow will look to gain clearance to play in Sunday's game against the Titans as he works his way through the five-step concussion protocol. If Renfrow can't play this weekend, Tyron Johnson and Keelan Cole would be candidates to see added reps at receiver behind Davante Adams and Mack Hollins.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Jefferson (knee) to practice this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson thus seems likely to miss a third straight game to open the season, giving Ben Skowronek another chance in the No. 3 receiver role Sunday against the Cardinals. Jefferson still hasn't practiced since undergoing minor left knee surgery in early August.

Smith (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Prior to missing a second consecutive game to start the campaign, Smith also was limited in all three sessions, so he may have to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to be cleared for game action as he continues his recovery from a preseason shoulder injury.

Watkins didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Watkins has been the definition of hit or miss this season, going without a target Week 1 before striking for a 53-yard touchdown on two targets Week 2. He earned at least 56 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests, but he's clearly behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at wide receiver for the Eagles. Now, Watkins will have to get past an illness to be able to play Sunday at Washington.

Pierce (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Pierce still has to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before exiting the NFL's concussion protocol, but his full practice to begin the week suggests he's on track to do so ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Meanwhile, top wideout Michael Pittman (quadriceps) returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up this weekend.

Pittman (quadriceps) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

The wideout reportedly looked good during the open portion of practice, with Zak Keefer of The Athletic noting that Pittman is on track to return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The Colts played without both Pittman and Alec Pierce (concussion) in a 24-0 loss to the Jaguars in Week 2, but quarterback Matt Ryan could have his full complement of pass catchers available for the Week 3 matchup with Kansas City.

Allen (hamstring) is in line to do some individual work during Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

An update on Allen's status will be provided later Wednesday, when the Chargers will disclose whether the wideout was a non-participant or limited participant in practice. In any case, the wideout's ability to work in some fashion to start the week is a positive indicator ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Davis (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Though Davis was inactive for this past Monday's win over the Titans, his limited participation Wednesday is a sign that the wideout could be back in action this weekend against Miami. If, however, Davis is out Sunday, Jake Kumerow would be on tap for more snaps alongside Isaiah McKenzie and Stefon Diggs.
