Jeudy didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Jeudy's absence from practice comes after he played 61 of the Broncos' 73 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, finishing with seven receptions on 14 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown. With that in mind, Jeudy's absence from practice to begin Week 10 may have maintenance-related, but the Broncos' practice reports Thursday and Friday will ultimately provide more insight into his health. Assuming he's cleared to play Sunday against the Raiders, Jeudy would once again be in store for a major role in the Denver passing game after drawing double-digit targets in both of the past two contests.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he's hopeful Bourne (reserve/COVID-19 list) will be able to practice later this week, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bourne recently began his second term on the list, but the 49ers seemingly are confident that the latest stint was merely the result of false positives and not an actual bout with the coronavirus. While he'll have to be activated from the aforementioned list in order to get back on the field, he does have two more chances to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans.

The Chiefs placed Hardman on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Hardman's placement on the list indicates that he has either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with an infected person or persons.The Chiefs are on bye this week and won't play again until Nov. 22 against the Raiders.

Samuel (hamstring) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Samuel was ruled out ahead of the 49ers' Week 9 loss to the Packers beforehand due to a hamstring injury, but he also was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to being a "high-risk" close contact of Kendrick Bourne (illness). Removed from the list last Friday, Samuel still is unable to get on the field, a result of the aforementioned injury suffered Week 7. The 49ers have a Week 11 bye upcoming, so they may opt to hold him out Sunday at New Orleans with the hope he's healthy for a Nov. 29 divisional game with the Rams. In the end, though, Samuel does have two more chances to practice this week before San Francisco makes a ruling on his potential to play against the Saints.

Kupp (wrist) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay believes the wide receiver is "on track to play" Sunday versus the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Kupp is slated to partake in individual drills before sitting out the team portion of Wednesday's session. Ideally, he'll build up his reps as the week proceeds, but there's also no guarantee he'll log a full practice before the Rams release their final Week 10 injury report Friday. As such, Kupp will need to be monitored closely over the next few days.

Harry (concussion) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

Back on the practice field after missing two games, Harry will look to gain medical clearance in advance of Sunday's game against the Ravens. His potential return, as well as the addition of trade-deadline pickup Isaiah Ford, bolsters a wideout corps that's been led of late by Jakobi Meyers and Damiere Byrd. In six games to date, Harry has caught 19 passes (on 32 targets) for 172 yards and a touchdown.

Humphries (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts.

With Humphries still sidelined and now targeting a return to action Week 11 in Baltimore, Kalif Raymond and Cameron Batson are in line to see added work Thursday behind the team's top two wide receiver options, A.J. Brown and Corey Davis.

Miller (hip/groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Miller has been managing the two injuries for a good portion of the season, but he has yet to miss a game. The fact that he's beginning the week as a practice participant in any capacity bodes well for Miller's chances of playing Sunday in Carolina, but his fantasy utility has taken a major hit with the Buccaneers' addition of Antonio Brown. With Brown, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans all available during last week's loss to the Saints, Miller was limited to a 38 percent offensive snap share, his second-lowest rate of the season.

Godwin (finger) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

After undergoing surgery Oct. 27 on his left index finger, Godwin returned from a one-game absence in last week's blowout loss to the Saints, playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps while hauling in three of six targets for 41 yards. Despite his limitations to begin Week 10, the Buccaneers haven't provided any indication that Godwin suffered any sort of setback against the Saints. As a result, Godwin should be in store for another full snap load Sunday in Carolina, lining up alongside a loaded pass-catching group that includes Mike Evans, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski.

Smith-Schuster didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Smith-Schuster has regularly sat out Wednesday practices this season, and Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette relays that the wideout's absence this week can be considered a rest day, despite his injury designation. The 23-year-old is coming off a season-high 93-yard outing in last week's win over the Cowboys.
