Delpit (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Delpit still has ample time to recover before Sunday's game against the Bears, but his practice participation will bear monitoring the rest of the week. The starting strong safety has yet to miss a game in the 2025 regular season.

Ward (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Ward will miss the remainder of the regular season, but he will be eligible to return for the playoffs, should the Colts make it. He would need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to resume playing at that point. Ward finishes the 2025 regular season with 25 tackles (17 solo) and seven passes defensed in seven appearances.

Jackson (undisclosed) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

As Hensley notes, this marks the fifth straight week that Jackson has missed at least one practice as he manages different injury issues. In the previous four weeks, the QB has gone on to start for the Ravens. The team's upcoming practice report will reveal whether Jackson is listed with an ankle injury, as he was in Week 14.

Cincinnati signed Johnson (hand) to the practice squad Wednesday.

Johnson spent the offseason with Houston but was placed on IR due to a broken hand and subsequently cut before the start of the regular season. Now full healthy, Johnson will work to carve out an emergency depth role at wide receiver with the Bengals.

The Commanders signed Edmonds from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Edmonds will provide depth in a Washington backfield that also includes Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. He was previously elevated from the practice squad by the Commanders to play Week 11, a game against the Dolphins in which Edmonds did not play on offense but handled seven snaps on special teams.

Cook will get all the first-team reps at Wednesday's practice, while neither Tyrod Taylor (groin) or Justin Fields (knee) will practice in any capacity, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Cook is the only healthy quarterback on the roster for the Jets as they begin preparing for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, though New York added Adrian Martinez to the mix Wednesday by signing Martinez to the practice squad. If Taylor and Fields are both unavailable Sunday, Cook would be in line to make his first NFL start. Cook saw his first regular-season NFL action in this past Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins after Taylor exited in the first half. The undrafted rookie out of Missouri completed 14 of 30 passes for 163 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions against Miami.

Martinez signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Martinez was cut by the Jets in August after spending the 2024 season on their practice squad. He had been with the 49ers organization for most of the 2025 campaign prior to getting cut from San Francisco's practice squad Tuesday. If neither Tyrod Taylor (groin) nor Justin Fields (knee) gain clearance to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Martinez would likely be elevated to back up undrafted rookie Brady Cook.

Wilson (knee) won't have his window to resume practicing opened Wednesday, and head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that a decision on Wilson's status moving forward will be made by team doctors, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson has been on injured reserve since aggravating a knee injury in Week 10 against the Browns. He is eligible to have his practice window opened at any point moving forward, but it's unclear when or if that will occur. Glenn's answer to the media Wednesday regarding Wilson's status didn't differ from the information Glenn offered Monday. At this point, the Jets are preparing to move forward with John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell as their top two wide receivers for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Higgins (concussion) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

After experiencing concussion-like symptoms Sunday night and Monday morning, Higgins is back in the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout's looming participation -- albeit in a limited capacity -- in Wednesday's practice is a positive indicator, but given that Higgins sustained a concussion Week 12 against the Patriots and sat out a Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens, the Bengals figure to proceed cautiously with him ahead of this weekend's contest against Baltimore.

Hall (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Per Cimini, Hall is dealing with some knee soreness as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches. The running back has two more chances to log practice reps before Week 15 injury statuses are revealed, but if Hall is limited or out this weekend, Isaiah Davis would be in line for added backfield touches, with Kene Nwangwu and Khalil Herbert available to mix in.
