The Redskins signed Sims to the active roster Wednesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Sims suited up for one game with the Redskins last year and played one snap on special teams. He'll add depth to the wideout corps with Terry McLaurin (hamstring) limited in Wednesday's practice, but he's not expected to have an immediate impact on offense Sunday versus the Patriots.

Perriman (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Perriman was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Rams with a hamstring injury and didn't return. Being sidelined for the first injury report of the week isn't a favorable sign for his chances of playing Sunday versus the Saints. The Buccaneers could be thin at receiver if Perriman can't go since Chris Godwin (hip) also missed Wednesday's practice, but both will have two more days to get back onto the field.

Hill (shoulder) was officially limited at practice Wednesday.

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Hill "got a good report on his most recent shoulder checkup," so the Chiefs elected to see how he looked at practice Wednesday. Schefter adds that the team "will not rush (Hill) back," so the wideout's Week 5 status remains cloudy, but Hill obviously has taken a big step in his recovery, and the playmaker's return to game action doesn't seem far off.

Bellamy (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Bellamy has dealt with a lingering shoulder injury since mid-September, and he wasn't able to get fully healthy during the Jets' bye week. He's consistently played through the injury thus far, which may indicate that his status for Sunday's tilt against the Eagles isn't in jeopardy. In any case, Bellamy has only been targeted three times this season, and if he were to miss any time, New York's offense would emerge largely unscathed.

Cooper (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper's practice reps were limited last week as well by an ankle injury, but he took the field Sunday night in New Orleans and put up five catches (on eight targets) for 48 yards. On Wednesday, he told Jon Machota of The Athletic, "I'm fine. Healing up. I'm healthy enough to go out there and perform." Because he's already done so once, Cooper wouldn't surprise us if he gets rid of his designation by the end of the week.

Gallup (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Gallup had a cap on his reps, but he took another step by taking part in some team drills, per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News. The development spurred Gehlken to report that Gallup is expected to return from a two-game absence Sunday against the Packers. Gallup will have two more chances to shed his designation before the weekend, or the Cowboys otherwise will take his status down to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Foster (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Foster sat out Week 4 with this injury, but he's in line to suit up Sunday versus the Titans. The second-year pro hasn't hauled in any of his three targets through three games, so his fantasy value is negligible unless that volume increases.

Diggs missed Wednesday's practice with a non-injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

On a positive note, Diggs isn't dealing with a health concern. Conversely, there's no telling what he's dealing with, making his status one to monitor closely as the week goes on. Next up for reps on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart are Bisi Johnson, Laquon Treadwell and Davion Davis.

McLaurin (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic repots.

McLaurin wasn't able to suit up during Sunday's loss to the Giants, but his involvement in the first practice of Week 5 offers hope that he'll be back in action this weekend versus the Patriots. In order to bolster his odds of avoiding a designation heading into the matchup with New England, McLaurin will likely to upgrade to full participation in practice Thursday and/or Friday.

Godwin didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

Godwin missed a pair of practices last week due to the hip issue, but he managed to play through the injury en route to a masterful 172-yard, two-score performance in the Buccaneers' win over the Rams. If the 23-year-old is able to practice in some capacity by the end of the week, it'll bode well for his availability heading into Sunday's tilt in New Orleans.
