Trey Palmer WR | NO
Saints' Trey Palmer: Manages limited practice Wednesday
Palmer (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Palmer sat out the latter two of the Saints' three practices last week before spending Sunday's game at Seattle on the sideline, so his participation Wednesday was a step in the right direction. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'd be able to make his 2025 debut at Buffalo.

Devaughn Vele WR | NO
Saints' Devaughn Vele: Still tending to hip injury
Vele (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Vele was unable to play in Week 3 due to a nagging hip issue, and now his status for Week 4 is up in the air. If he's able to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Casey Washington WR | ATL
Falcons' Casey Washington: Limited to begin Week 4
Washington (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Washington has been in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol since shortly after Atlanta's season-opening loss to Tampa Bay. He was able to log a trio of limited practice sessions last week and was limited again Wednesday, but he won't be able to return to game action until he clears protocol. Journeyman wideout David Sills logged 38 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps in Week 3 to help cover for Washington's absence.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Absent from practice
Oliver (knee) was estimated as a DNP Wednesday, as the Titans held a walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Oliver has yet to return to practice after suffering a knee injury in the team's Week 2 loss to the Rams. The wide receiver will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's contest in Houston.

Mike Evans WR | TB
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Not practicing
Evans (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Reports suggest Evans will miss multiple games, but neither team nor player has actually said anything besides acknowledging his absence from Wednesday's practice. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin (ankle) was a full participant for the first time in 11 months, potentially setting up his 2025 debut Sunday against the Eagles.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Logs full practice Wednesday
Godwin (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Between prep for Weeks 2 and 3, Godwin combined to log five limited practices in six chances to do so, including three straight to end last week. He was held out of each of the Buccaneers' first three games of the season due to the dislocated left ankle that he suffered Week 7 of the 2024 campaign. Coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site on Wednesday that Godwin upped his activity level "a lot" from last week, as indicated by his full session, but he added that the wide receiver will be an "end-of-the-week" evaluation, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. As a result, Godwin's listing on Friday's injury report may provide the first indication that he's cleared for his first game action in nearly one year ahead of Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Dealing with sore hamstring
Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a sore hamstring, but he doesn't believe the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Adams has been targeted early and often to start his stint with the Rams, racking up 29 targets through three games. Overall, he's hauled in 13 of them for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Now that he's tending to a health concern, though, Adams' stats bears watching this week to see if he's able to emerge without a designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Full practice participant
Worthy (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Worthy thus appears likely to return for Sunday's game against the Ravens. He was listed as a limited practice participant all of last week, getting a 'questionable' designation on the Friday injury report before downgrading to 'out' Saturday. Worthy's likely return to the lineup could mean less playing time for any or all of Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton and/or JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Limited at practice Wednesday
Collins (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Collins, who was on the field for 54 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, wound up catching eight of his 11 targets for 104 yards (with a TD and a fumble) in the contest. It's possible that the wideout's listed limitations Wednesday were indicative of load management as opposed to concern over his Week 4 status, with Thursday's practice/injury report destined to provide added context in that regard.
-
CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: No practice Wednesday
Lamb (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the high left-ankle sprain that he suffered early during this past Sunday's loss at Chicago. Since then, all of Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and coach Brian Schottenheimer haven't said anything definitive regarding Lamb's status for a Week 4 showdown with the Packers, but Schottenheimer told Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site on Wednesday, "We can beat the Packers without CeeDee [Lamb} and [RG Tyler Booker] and the guys we're missing." Dallas can rule out Lamb at any point, but the team may wait until it posts its final injury report of the week Friday before making a decision on that front.
