Downs (hamstring) isn't listed on the initial injury report for Sunday's game against Miami.

He's apparently made a full recovery from the hamstring injury that kept him out of practice throughout the second half of August.With that out of the way, Downs gets a favorable matchup to start the season, facing a Miami secondary that has four players unavailable while on injury lists. One of those players is standout nickelback Kader Kohou, who might otherwise have matched up against Downs for much of Sunday's game. Fifth-round rookie Jason Marshall is the favorite to replace Kohou in the slot, although the Dolphins could also use 30-year-old Rasul Douglas or one of their safeties there. Either way, Downs should have the edge.

Meyers said Wednesday that he's unsure whether he and the Raiders will be able to reach agreement on a contract extension, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Meyers requested a trade from Las Vegas in late August due to dissatisfaction with his current contract situation, and he cited loyalty to his teammates Wednesday as the cause of his not holding out. Currently, Meyers is heading into the final year of his contract with the team and will be due $10.76 million for the 2025 season. The No. 1 receiver tallied the first 1,000-yard campaign of his career while playing 15 regular-season games in 2024, totaling an 86-1,027-8 receiving line on 129 targets. He's positioned alongside tight end Brock Bowers as one of Geno Smith's clear top options in the receiving game heading into Sunday's regular-season opener on the road against New England.

McMillan (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Panthers' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday.

McMillan first missed practice due to a hamstring injury on Aug. 18 but was back on the field on Aug. 26. Now more than a week later, he doesn't have any limitations at all, paving the way for him to make his pro debut Sunday in Jacksonville. With veteran WR Adam Thielen getting traded to the Vikings last week, McMillan is the unquestioned No. 1 option in Carolina's passing game for QB Bryce Young.

Nabers (toe/shoulder/back) wasn't listed on the Giants' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nabers thus will be available to the Giants offense Sunday at Washington after contending with multiple health concerns throughout the offseason and training camp, namely back tightness that sidelined him until Aug. 19. Last Wednesday, he told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the issue was "a minor thing" and wasn't going to be a problem moving forward, which has come to pass. In two matchups with the Commanders last season, Nabers combined for 19 catches (on 29 targets) for 186 yards and one touchdown.

Hill (oblique) has been ramping up his practice workload and will be a limited participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Hill returned to practice last Thursday after missing a little more than three weeks, with coach Mike McDaniel saying at the time that he expected the wideout to play Week 1. It sounds like Hill is still on track to face the Colts this Sunday, but he may need an upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday in order to get the go-ahead. McDaniel also mentioned that Hill would get some work in team drills Wednesday, and per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa dismissed concerns about his and the star wideout's relationship declining this offseason.

Reed (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Reed got back on the practice field last Wednesday and then took part in a competitive team scrimmage in pads Thursday, after which it was revealed that his absence for the preceding three weeks was due to a Jones fracture in his left foot, per Jason Wilde of CBS Madison. After last Wednesday's session, he acknowledged to Wood that he isn't able to run routes without discomfort, so his DNP this Wednesday may be just maintenance to ensure he's as healthy as possible for Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Reed's activity level, or lack thereof, Thursday and/or Friday may provide insight into his odds to suit up Week 1.

Coach Sean McDermott noted that Shakir (ankle) will practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Shakir -- who suffered a high-ankle sprain Aug. 1 -- thus has two more opportunities to practice fully ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Ravens. When available, the 2022 fifth-rounder is on track to reprise his role as a go-to passing target for QB Josh Allen. Given that he'll be able to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity, Shakir is trending toward suiting up this weekend, but until he logs a full session, his status will be worth monitoring.

Royals (knee) is ruled out for Friday's regular-season opener against the Chargers and will not travel with the team to Brazil.

Coach Andy Reid previously said he didn't expect Royals to be available Week 1, so his being ruled out doesn't come as a surprise. Kansas City didn't hold a practice session Wednesday, but he was a non-participant Tuesday due to lingering knee tendinitus. The rookie fourth-round pick's next chance to play will arrive Week 2 at home versus the Eagles. With Rashee Rice suspended the first six games of the season, Royals will have a path to compete with JuJu Smith-Schuster for snaps behind Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown once fully healthy.

Ayomanor was listed as a starting wide receiver on the Titans' unofficial depth chart released Tuesday.

Ayomanor slipped to the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he's since had strong showings in training camp and the preseason. He showed rapport with Cameron Ward, delivering long gains of 35 and 13 yards in Tennessee's second and third preseason games, respectively. Ayomanor may begin the season behind Tyler Lockett in priority for targets, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him ascend to complement Calvin Ridley as the season wears on.

The Broncos signed Thomas to the practice squad Tuesday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Thomas spent the offseason with Minnesota and the last two years on the team's practice squad, but he was cut late August and now gets an opportunity in Denver. The 27-year-old wideout is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut.
