Brown (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Brown, who's dealing with a bone bruise in his knee, sat out the Titans' Week 2 win over the Jaguars, and it's unclear if he'll be back in time to suit up this weekend against the Vikings. In Brown's absence last weekend, Corey Davis and Adam Humphries headed the Titans' wide receiver corps, while Cameron Batson and Kalif Raymond saw added work at the position.

The Eagles are expected to place Reagor on injured reserve after he was diagnosed Wednesday with a UCL tear in his thumb, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Such an injury requires surgery and rehab, so it's safe to say Reagor is in line for a multi-game absence. Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer speculates the rookie first-rounder will return in late October or early November, which jibes with the five games Drew Brees missed last season with a similar injury. It's been a tough start to Reagor's first season, as his status for Week 1 also was in jeopardy due a left shoulder issue. He ended up playing in both of the Eagles' first two games but picked up the thumb ligament tear this past Sunday versus the Rams. With Alshon Jeffery (foot) still sidelined, the Eagles' receiving corps is composed of DeSean Jackson, Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and John Hightower.

Jeudy will be limited at practice Wednesday due to a rib injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

That said, Jeudy noted that his ribs are "feeling better day-by-day," while adding that the contact that led to the injury wasn't the result of a big collision, but rather a case of him getting hit "in the right spot." At this point, there's no reason to think that Jeudy's Week 3 status is in doubt, and assuming he plays Sunday against the Buccaneers, an expanded opportunity awaits him with top wideout Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL.

Reagor was diagnosed Wednesday with a UCL tear in his thumb, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Reagor was merely a spectator at Wednesday's practice, and the reason for his absence now is clear. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Reagor played through the injury in Sunday's loss to the Rams, but the rookie wideout is now a candidate to miss some time. How much time is the question, but Reagor seems to be trending toward an absence for at least the Eagles' Week 3 game versus the Bengals.

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians labeled Watson as day-to-day after he missed practice Wednesday with a shoulder injury sustained in this past Sunday's win over the Panthers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Watson's day-to-day label is encouraging, but he'll likely need to up his practice participation as the week progresses to have a realistic chance of suiting up this weekend in Denver. With Chris Godwin having cleared the concussion protocol earlier this week, Watson isnn't expected to play a major role Week 3, regardless of his health. Scotty Miller still appears locked in as Tampa Bay's No. 3 receiver behind Godwin and Mike Evans.

Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Jeudy will be limited in Wednesday's practice due to an injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Jeudy appears to have emerged from Sunday's loss to the Steelers nicked up, though it's encouraging to see him on the practice field in some capacity. The nature of Jeudy's injury will be revealed when the Broncos' first official practice report of the week is posted later Wednesday. Given that Denver has already lost Courtland Sutton (knee) for the season and Drew Lock (shoulder) for multiple weeks, Jeudy will take on an even more important role in the Broncos passing game for at least the next couple of games.

Crowder (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cimini also points out that Crowder still isn't running seven days since injuring his hamstring, and head coach Adam Gase remains non-committal on the slot receiver's status for Sunday's game against the Colts. The injury-riddled Jets offense could use all the help it can get with starting running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on injured reserve and outside receiver Breshad Perriman (ankle) looking doubtful for Week 3. Crowder will need to show improvement quickly to have a chance of providing quarterback Sam Darnold with a much-needed weapon come Sunday.

Jets head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that he isn't optimistic about Perriman's (ankle) chances of playing Week 3 versus the Colts or Week 4 versus the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Gase commented on Perriman's status after the wideout was a non-participant in the Jets' first practice session of Week 3. At this stage, the Jets haven't officially ruled him out from playing Sunday in Indianapolis, but Perriman will face an uphill battle to shake off the sprained ankle ahead of that contest. Additionally, the Jets will be facing a quick turnaround from the Colts game with a Thursday night matchup with Denver in Week 4, likely setting Perriman up for a multi-game absence. With Jamison Crowder (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday either, quarterback Sam Darnold could very well have to make do without his two top receivers this weekend.

Reagor wasn't practicing Wednesday due to an unspecified issue, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Instead, Reagor took in the session from the side. It's unclear if the left shoulder injury that he picked up Aug. 30 is to blame, but the rookie first-round pick has made appearances in both of the Eagles' games to date, accruing five catches (on eight targets) for 96 yards. Wednesday's injury report will clarify where Reagor stands this week.

Sims isn't practicing Wednesday due to a toe injury, Kyle Stackpole of Washington's official site reports.

Sims played 91 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals, catching three of five targets for 53 yards while losing a fumble on a punt return. His usage in that game suggests the toe injury isn't serious, or else he suffered it at the very end of the game. A return to practice Thursday would put Sims on track to suit up Sunday in Cleveland.
