Campbell (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Campbell was the team's No. 3 receiver Week 1 before sitting out the Week 2 loss to the Rams with an abdominal injury. He could make it back this weekend for a favorable matchup against the struggling Tennessee defense, but potentially with Jacob Eason or Brett Hundley starting at quarterback for the Colts rather than Carson Wentz (ankles).

Pascal missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

The good news is that Pascal wasn't placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Assuming that doesn't change, he'll have a good chance to suit up in Sunday's game against the Titans, looking to build on a strong start to the season (three touchdowns on 11 targets in two games). Pascal may have to catch passes from backup quarterback Jacob Eason instead of banged-up starter Carson Wentz (ankles), who missed practice Wednesday and looks questionable -- at best -- for Week 3.

Johnson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

After Johnson was injured on the final play of last week's loss to the Raiders, head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that the wideout is "looking better, not to be confused with great," per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. Johnson's status thus appears shaky for Sunday's game against the Bengals, with Thursday and Friday representing his remaining two chances to return to the practice field. James Washington should step up as the No. 3 receiver if Johnson is ruled out this week, with the Steelers potentially using more multi-tight end looks as well.

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

Grant is looking iffy for Week 3 due to an ankle sprain, but it's at least encouraging to see that he's able to handle limited practice reps. With quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, the Dolphins will need all the help they can get at the skill positions.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Eskridge (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Carroll provided a glimmer of hope for Eskridge on Monday, telling Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that the rookie wide receiver could put himself into a position to return Sunday against the Vikings, depending on how he fares in practice. But with Wednesday's absence, Eskridge hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion in the season opener. He'll have two more chances this week to get back on the field before the Seahawks decide whether he'll take a designation into the weekend.

Campbell (abdomen) was present for practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

After being added to the Colts' Week 2 injury report this past Friday, Campbell was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Rams. The wideout's presence on the field Wednesday, however, suggests that he could return to action this weekend against the Titans. Wednesday's injury report will reveal his official level of practice participation.

Patrick will be limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Patrick will have two more opportunities to ramp up his practice activity ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jets. In last week's win over the Jaguars, Patrick managed three catches for 37 yards and a touchdown on four targets, while operating as the No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton (12-159-0). With Jerry Jeudy (ankle) still on injured reserve, the 27-year-old is primed to once again handle an increased role Week 3, though his hip issue will warrant monitoring.

Sutton was a limited practice participant Wednesday with a hip injury, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Sutton is coming off a monster game one week after fellow Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy suffered a high-ankle sprain. The 6-foot-4 wideout caught nine of 12 targets for 159 yards last week, seeing a league-high 249 air yards in Denver's blowout of the Jaguars. While he may have gotten banged up in the process, Sutton's participation Wednesday -- even on a limited basis -- suggests he's on track to play Sunday against the Jets.

Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said that Higgins won't practice Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

The wideout is thus considered day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Steelers approaches. Wednesday's upcoming injury report will reveal what sort of injury Higgins is dealing with, but if he's out or limited this weekend, more targets would be freed up for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.

Coach Bruce Arians said that Mickens (hip) was held out of Wednesday's practice and is considered day-to-day, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Mickens was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Falcons after picking up a hip injury. The 27-year-old has been Tampa Bay's primary return man so far this season. Giovani Bernard and Scotty Miller each returned kicks against Atlanta after Mickens left the contest, so expect them to share the return duties in Week 3 if he is unable to suit up.
