Edwards is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report with a foot injury.

Edwards appears to have emerged from Monday's win over the Saints with the injury, though his "limited" designation may not mean that much since Wednesday's injury report is only an estimation. The rookie wideout will have two more opportunities to log a full practice session ahead of Sunday's contest in New England.

Miller was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with hip and groin injuries.

Miller got more run than expected Weeks 1 and 2, with the latter game coinciding with Chris Godwin's absence due to a concussion. Godwin cleared the protocol for head injuries as of Monday, so it'll be interesting to see if Miller can continue to receive 60-to-70 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps. To date, Miller has hauled in seven of nine targets for 84 yards, but Godwin's return and Miller's own hip and groin issues could result in a decreased workload Week 3 in Denver.

Thomas (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Thomas was given a 2-to-4 week timetable to return after suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 1, so it's no surprise that he's not back on the practice field just yet. While the Saints have two days of prep to go this week, it'll be mildly shocking if Thomas joins his teammates Thursday or Friday. If he does, though, he could begin putting himself in a position to play as soon as Sunday against the Packers.

Smith-Schuster (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Smith-Schuster also sat out last Wednesday's practice before returning to a full session Thursday. He then proceeded to play 59 of the Steelers' 65 offensive snaps in the team's Week 2 win over the Broncos, hauling in seven of eight targets for 48 yards. If he follows last week's pattern and advances to full participation in practice this Thursday, he'll be on track to play this weekend against the Texans.

Johnson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

Fellow starting wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) also sat out practice. Both players ended up missing practice last Wednesday with the same injuries, but returned to full sessions Thursday and entered the Steelers' eventual Week 2 win over the Broncos minus designations. That pattern won't necessarily be repeated Week 3, but at this point, it would be surprising if Johnson's toe issue keeps him out of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Kirk didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.

Kirk has got off to a slow start this season, hauling in a 49-yard catch and otherwise totaling 11 yards on his three other touches through two games. His offensive snap count decreased from 77 percent Week 1 to 61 percent this past Sunday against Washington. Perhaps the groin issue is to blame, but his status nonetheless should be watched closely as the weekend draws closer.

Cooks (quadriceps) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

This quad injury has limited Cooks in practice all season, but he's gained clearance to play ahead of both of Houston's first two contests. There's little reason to expect anything different this week, so look for Houston's leading Week 2 receiver (95 yards) to be out there Sunday against the Steelers, barring any new developments in practice this week.

Parker (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's contest against the Jaguars, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Parker was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after having kicked off the week with back-to-back limited sessions. After aggravating his hamstring injury against the Patriots in Week 1 and playing through the issue versus Buffalo in Week 2, Parker now looks primed to suit up at full health for the first time this season. Parker and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look to re-establish the lethal connection they showcased down the stretch in 2019.

Beasley didn't practice Wednesday due to hip and thumb injuries.

Beasley is making his first appearance on the injury report this season after catching nine balls in his first two weeks. His absence could be mostly for precautionary purposes, but those considering the slot receiver in fantasy lineups for his Week 3 matchup with the Rams will still want to track his participation in practices Thursday and Friday.

Chark (chest/back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Chark has been participating in practice on a limited basis this week, but the prevailing thought is that he'll be available Week 3. Either way, confirmation of the wideout's status will arrive upon the release of the Jaguars' inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
