Campbell (abdomen) didn't practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Campbell's Week 5 status gains added import, with T.Y. Hilton still dealing with a quadriceps injury and also unable to practice Wednesday. Campbell recorded five catches for 25 yards on a season-high eight targets in this past Sunday's loss to Oakland.

Coach Anthony Lynn noted Wednesday that Williams' back is feeling better, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Williams, who missed Week 4's win over the Dolphins, might practice Wednesday, but even if he doesn't, the fact that his back issue appears to be calming down suggests that the wideout could play Sunday against the Broncos.

Gallup (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Initially, Gallup was trending toward a game-time decision for Week 5, but his performance at Wednesday's practice seems to have improved his odds. In particular, the Cowboys only expected him to take part in individual work, but he felt well enough that he fit in some team drills as well, according to Gehlken. It's unclear yet whether Gallup was a limited or full participant, which will be revealed upon the release of the injury report.

McLaurin (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

McLaurin was held out of Sunday's loss to the Giants due to a hamstring injury sustained in last Thursday's session. While he was going through individual drills to kick off Week 5 prep, his activity level won't be known until the release of the Redskins' first injury report later in the day.

Samuel sat out Wednesday's practice for maintenance purposes, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

The Panthers merely termed Samuel's absence as "rest," so there's little worry about his ability to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Look for the third-year wide receiver to return to the practice field before week's end.

Diggs (undisclosed) didn't attend practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Tomasson relayed that a Vikings official was unable to specify the reason for Diggs' absence. All the way back in Week 1, Diggs tended to a hamstring injury but played 60 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to two catches for 37 yards. Wednesday's injury report will shed light on his current standing.

Adams (toe) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Instead, Adams was spotted working with the training staff, performing lateral lunges and squats, per Schneidman. There's a chance Adams doesn't press his luck and take part in practice this week as he tends to the toe injury that he suffered last Thursday against the Eagles. On the other hand, an appearance would provide a glimmer of hope as it pertains to his availability this weekend at Dallas.

Godwin was held out of practice Wednesday due to an unspecified issue, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Godwin missed practices Wednesday and Thursday last week due to a hip injury, though it's uncertain if the same issue is behind his absence for the first session of Week 5. The wideout managed to shake off the injury and gain an active status for Sunday's upset win over the Rams, busting out for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs' offensive explosion. The Buccaneers will reveal what is affecting Godwin this week when they release their initial injury report later Wednesday.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Byrd (hamstring) "looks unlikely" to suit up Sunday in Cincinnati, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

With both Byrd and Christian Kirk (ankle) trending toward inactive status Week 5, it appears that the Cardinals' receiving corps will be headed by Larry Fitzgerald, Trent Sherfield -- Byrd's direct backup -- and KeeSean Johnson. Meanwhile, rookie Andy Isabella and even Pharoh Cooper will be on hand for additional offensive snaps.

Kirk (ankle) is expected to miss Sunday's tilt against the Bengals but isn't nursing a major injury, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

According to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Kirk will participate in Wednesday's practice on a limited basis, a welcome sign after coach Kliff Kingsbury didn't seem to express much optimism about the wideout's health when he met with the media Monday. Still, the Cardinals aren't counting on Kirk making enough progress to suit up Week 5 versus the Bengals, which could leave the team with a depleted receiving corps given that Damiere Byrd (hamstring) is also likely to miss the contest, per Bordow. Expect Arizona to sign at least one wideout to the 53-man roster to compensate for the anticipated absences of Kirk and Byrd.
