  • Tory Horton WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tory Horton: Dealing with groin issue

    Horton was limited at practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    After going without a target in his pro debut Week 1 against the 49ers, Horton got in the act this past Sunday at Pittsburgh, recording a 21-yard touchdown among his two catches and five targets. As Seattle begins Week 3 prep, though, he's operating with a cap on his practice reps, giving him two more chances to get back to all activity before the end of the week.

  • Falcons' Casey Washington: Gets in limited practice

    Washington (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Washington missed last Sunday night's win over the Vikings with the concussion, but his limited start to the practice week suggests he has a chance to play Week 3 versus Carolina. With Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud healthy, Washington is unlikely to have much of a role on offense against the Panthers if he's cleared to play.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Misses Wednesday's practice

    McConkey (biceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

    McConkey was on the field for 74 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in the team's 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday en route to catching all five of his targets for 48 yards. However, with a DNP in the books Wednesday, the wideout's status needs to be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Through two games, he's tied with fellow WR Quentin Johnston for second on the team with 14 targets, which is three shy of the 17 targets that Keenan Allen has logged thus far.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Spotted running

    Aiyuk (knee) did some running while his teammates were practicing Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Aiyuk remains on the PUP list, out through at least Week 4 and unable to practice with his teammates. Neither player nor team has said much about the situation of late, but coach Kyle Shanahan did suggest in mid-August that Week 6 (against Tampa Bay) was a reasonable target for Aiyuk's 2025 debut.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Logs full practice

    Thomas (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union previously reported that coach Liam Coen acknowledged Monday that Thomas approached Week 2 action with a wrist injury, but the wideout still managed to record a 94 percent snap share in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Bengals. With a full practice under his belt Wednesday, Thomas is slated to face the Texans this weekend and in the process maintain his key role in the Jaguars passing attack. Through two games to date, Thomas has been targeted 19 times (including 12 times versus Cincinnati) but has caught just five passes for 60 yards in that span. While the 2024 first-rounder's slow start is mildly concerning, assuming he's not hampered by his wrist issue, a spike in production and efficiency seems inevitable for the talented 22-year-old, who compiled a 87/1,282/10 receiving line (on 133 targets) in 17 regular-season games last year.

  • Texans' Braxton Berrios: Starts week limited

    Berrios (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Berrios has missed both of the Texans' first two games of the season but is expected to return for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. It remains to be seen what his role will be with the team, but he'll provide depth at wide receiver and as a return man.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Listed as limited

    Turpin (neck) is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    The Cowboys merely held a walkthrough, which means Turpin's participation level is an estimate. He never rejoined Sunday's win over the Giants after leaving in the third quarter, but the 'limited' listing Wednesday suggests Turpin may have some hope for Week 3 at Chicago. If he can't suit up, Jalen Tolbert likely will take on more work as the No. 3 receiver rather than sharing the role with Turpin again.

  • Christian Kirk WR | HOU

    Texans' Christian Kirk: Limited in return to practice

    Kirk (hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Wednesday.

    Per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN, coach DeMeco Ryans noted Tuesday that he expects Kirk -- who missed the first two games of the season -- to return to action Sunday against the Jaguars. The wideout's participation in his first regular-season practice supports that notion, though Kirk will likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid a Week 3 injury designation. If available versus Jacksonville, Kirk will have an opportunity to secure a key role in a Houston WR corps that's led by Nico Collins and also includes Jayden Higgins and Xavier Hutchinson, with Jaylin Noel and Braxton Berrios (hamstring) also in the mix.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: DNP on Wednesday

    Oliver (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    The second-year wideout has played a total of 11 offensive snaps through two games, recording one catch for eight yards on one target. He's a deep reserve in Tennessee's wideout room.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Picks up minor injury

    Legette was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

    Participation of any kind at the start of the week is a good sign for Sunday availability. Legette showed no clear sign of injury in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, logging an 81 percent snap share and an 81 percent route share, but he caught just one of eight targets for minus-two yards on a day when Carolina's other wideouts combined for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Legette's role could come into question soon, especially if Jalen Coker (quad) comes back from injured reserve at some point in October.
