Mooney (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Mooney is kicking off Week 2 prep where he left off last week, with a cap on his reps. He wasn't able to suit up this past Sunday against the Buccaneers due to the shoulder injury that has plagued him since the early days of training camp. Coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that the Falcons will "get a look and see toward the end of the week what he's got going on." Friday's practice report thus will be key for the wideout's odds to suit up Sunday in Minnesota.

London (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London suffered a shoulder injury late in this past Sunday's loss to the Buccanners, and the issue was clarified as a sprain afterward, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. During a media session earlier Wednesday, coach Raheem Morris said that he believes London will be available Sunday at Minnesota. "Drake is Drake," Morris noted. "He's ultimately tough. I do expect him to play. That's not saying he is." That last point from Morris leaves some uncertainty surrounding London's status, so his activity level will be one to watch as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up this weekend.

Jennings (shoulder) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Jennings left Sunday's win in Seattle early in the fourth quarter due to a left shoulder injury and wasn't able to return. After undergoing an MRI on Monday, he doesn't appear to have a serious health concern, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but he'll focus on treatment versus on-field work during the 49ers' first practice of Week 2 prep. Jennings will have two more opportunities to mix into drills this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans. If he's able to suit up, the wide receiver likely will be working with backup QB Mac Jones, as starter Brock Purdy (toe/left shoulder) is trending towards an absence.

Golden (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

After being listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, Golden was a full participant at Tuesday's walkthrough and then was tagged as full again Wednesday. With his status, along with fellow WRs Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf), confirmed for Week 2 action, Green Bay's receiving corps again will be at full strength. In his pro debut this past Sunday against the Lions, Golden handled a 48 percent snap share, ran 13 routes and tallied two catches (on two targets) for 16 yards.

Wicks (calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest against the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks was listed as limited on all three Week 2 practice reports, but he'll continue to play through the calf injury that has bothered him since late July. Fellow WRs Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (ankle) also have been cleared for Thursday's game, so a similar workload to Week 1 for Wicks may be on tap. During Sunday's 27-13 victory versus the Lions, Wicks earned a 46 percent snap share, ran nine routes and finished with two catches (on two targets) for 30 yards.

Reed (foot) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Despite Reed and fellow WRs Matthew Golden (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) being listed as limited at least once during Week 2 prep, all three will be available to Green Bay's offense Thursday. Reed himself is attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his left foot, but he was able to log a 38 percent snap share and run 12 routes on his way to a receiving 3-45-1 line on five targets during Sunday's 27-13 win versus the Lions.

Brown (knee/rest) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's road matchup against the Packers.

Brown didn't practice Wednesday after having been listed as limited on Washington's walk-through practice reports Monday and Tuesday, but the team simply appears to be following the same maintenance protocol that was required for the No. 3 receiver to suit up Week 1. He was targeted three times while playing 46 percent of offensive snaps during the Commanders' regular-season opener against the Giants, securing two of those targets for 27 yards. Brown looks set for a similar workload versus Green Bay, contributing at wide receiver behind top options Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Hunter will get more snaps on defense in Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

In the Jaguars' Week 1 win over Carolina, Hunter played 64 percent of his team's snaps on offense but only nine percent on defense, catching six passes for 33 yards on a team-high eight targets. He ran a route on 77 percent of Trevor Lawrence's dropbacks, flirting with full-time status in his NFL debut. Additional playing time on defense doesn't necessarily mean fewer snaps on offense, especially when Hunter is starting at such a low point with the former. He should remain a key part of Jacksonville's offense, regardless of what his weekly role on defense looks like in the coming games.

Fehoko was signed to the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The 2021 fifth-round pick joined the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, with the injury to key special-teamer Joey Blount (neck/concussion), Fehoko has been added to the active roster. The Stanford product is expected to contribute on special teams and as a depth piece in Arizona's wide receiver corps as the season continues.

Royals (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Coach Andy Reid noted that Royals -- who was inactive Week 1 -- is doing better and making progress but acknowledged that at this stage it's too early to know if the wideout will be able to play Sunday against the Eagles, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. For now, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton are Kansas City's top healthy/available WRs.
