Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Misses practice Wednesday
Meyers (knee/toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
After being on the field for 90 percent of the Raiders' snaps on offense in the team's Week 6 win over the Titans, a game in which Meyers caught all four of his targets for 39 yards, the wideout is managing a pair of injury issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Meyers now has two more chances to practice before Las Vegas assigns final Week 7 injury designations.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Dealing with chest injury
Dulin did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.
Dulin likely picked up the injury during the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals in Week 6, when he returned two kickoffs for 59 yards while playing just one snap on offense. The 28-year-old wideout will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chargers.

Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Jets' Allen Lazard: Not on injury report
Lazard (personal) is not listed on the Jets' Week 7 injury report.
Lazard didn't travel with the Jets to London last week due to a personal matter and missed the team's 13-11 loss to the Broncos on Sunday as a result. As this weekend's game against the Panthers approaches, Lazard is not on the Jets' injury report, while fellow WRs Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip) are. With that in mind, Lazard could see added opportunities in Week 7 if both Wilson and Reynolds end up on the team's inactive list.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Chance to play vs. Pittsburgh
Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones was able to overcome an Achilles injury to play in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers, but he picked up a rib injury in the process. He was able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, giving him a chance to play in Thursday's AFC North bout. Jermaine Burton and Samaje Perine would likely serve as the Bengals' returners on kickoffs and punts if Jones is not cleared to suit up.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Cardinals' Zay Jones: No activity at walkthrough
Jones (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Jones took advantage of the early exit of Marvin Harrison in the second quarter of Sunday's defeat in Indianapolis due to a concussion. Overall, Jones' 79 percent snap share represented a season high, and he parlayed a campaign-best eight targets into five catches for 79 yards and no touchdowns. Jones was limited in all three Week 6 practices due to a knee issue, so his absence Wednesday could be related to maintenance. With Marvin Harrison (concussion) and Michael Wilson (foot) also tending to health concerns this week, the trio will be monitored closely to get a sense of who among them may be available Sunday against the Packers.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Limited in practice
Brown (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
It's presumably the same shoulder injury that Brown played through in Jacksonville's past two games (after missing Week 4). He has just 18 receiving yards on nine targets since returning to the lineup, perhaps leaving the door open for Parker Washington to get more snaps alongside Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter.

Dalevon Campbell WR | LAC
Dalevon Campbell: Gets opportunity with Bolts
The Chargers signed Campbell (hamstring) to the practice squad Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Carolina waived Campbell from injured reserve Friday, but the 23-year-old wideout appears to be past his hamstring issue. He was originally signed by the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in April but was waived at the end of training camp in late August, which led to the Panthers claiming the South Carolina product off waivers.
-
Michael Wilson WR | ARI
Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Tending to foot issue
Wilson was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a foot injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Wilson made a brief exit from this past Sunday's loss in Indianapolis due to a finger injury but was able to finish out the contest en route to four catches (on five targets) for 44 yards. The reason for his practice limitations Wednesday thus is a new health concern that will need to be watched as the week continues. Aside from Wilson, Arizona's receiving corps is banged-up at the moment, as Marvin Harrison (concussion) also was limited Wednesday, while Zay Jones (knee) didn't take part at all.
-
Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited in practice
Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Wicks suffered an ankle injury during this past Sunday's win against the Bengals, but his ability to handle some reps to kick off Week 7 prep generally is a good sign that it isn't a long-term concern. Having said that, he likely will need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid heading into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's road matchup with the Cardinals.
-
Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Another limited session
Watson (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Watson now has strung together four consecutive capped sessions going back to last week since the Packers designated him to return from the reserve/PUP list. He wasn't cleared to suit up this past Sunday against the Bengals, and his status remains up in the air in advance of a Week 7 visit to Arizona. Considering he hasn't logged a full practice yet, Watson may need to do so in order to have a chance to play on gameday.
