Houston cut Oliver from its practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Less than two weeks after signing Oliver to their practice squad, the Texans are now parting ways with him. Over three games with the Titans in 2025, he caught his only target for eight yards.

Nacua (hip) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Nacua thus upheld coach Sean McVay's expectations of the stud wide receiver as the Rams kicked off Week 4 prep. After missing the last two games due to a hip injury that McVay alternatively has called soreness in his groin, Nacua also is expected to play in Sunday's game at Philadelphia, as McVay told Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site on Wednesday. How Nacua fares at practice Thursday and Friday likely will determine if he heads into the weekend with a designation.

The Bengals signed Williams to the practice squad Wednesday.

The Bengals cut Williams from the active roster Tuesday after playing just nine special-teams snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers, where he muffed a crucial punt in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver has returned to the team on the practice squad and will likely be elevated for Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to injuries to Andrei Iosivas (thumb) and Colbie Young (knee).

Moore (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Moore was limited for two sessions before upgrading to a full participant Friday ahead of the Ravens' Week 3 win over the Cowboys in Rio. The wide receiver was able to play through the ankle injury before, meaning his practice participation during Week 4 prep will likely mirror that of Week 3. If Moore follows the same schedule, he will be set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Wallace (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

A knee injury prevented Wallace from practicing all week, so the sixth-year pro will observe Thursday's game from the sidelines, which means Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley are both in line to see a slight uptick in offensive snaps. Wallace's next opportunity to play is Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Smith missed Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury.

Smith also kicked off last week with a DNP on the Eagles' first practice report due to a hamstring issue, only to progress to full and no designation ahead of Monday's road matchup with the Bears. In the end, though, his status bears watching in the coming days to ensure he's also good to go for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

Mims (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Mims has missed the last two games with a foot injury, but his full practice Wednesday puts him track to play Sunday against the 49ers. Mims ran just nine routes in Week 1 against the Chiefs and is likely to remain in a bit role behind Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton and Pat Bryant at wide receiver.

McConkey was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

McConkey previously dealt with a rib issue this season, but he's been able to suit up for all three contests en route to a 12-183-1 line on 15 targets. He'll have two more chances this week to get back to full participation, and Friday's practice report ultimately will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Seattle.

Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Notably, Caleb Douglas (ankle) was absent from Wednesday's practice, which could allow Bell to play an increased role again in Week 4 after he caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Bell has been seeing his practice reps managed all summer after undergoing ACL surgery late last season.

Coleman (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Coleman dealt with the ankle injury in practice last week and was listed as questionable for Week 3 before suiting up and playing just 48.5 percent of the offensive snaps against the Chargers. He turned two targets into one catch for 37 yards. If Coleman is unable to play Sunday against the Patriots, Joshua Palmer would be in line for increased snaps.
