Fries (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

The Vikings have suffered a number of injuries along their offensive line this season, with Fries being the latest. It's a positive sign that he was able to take the field Wednesday, though his status for a Week 11 matchup against the Bears is unclear.

Bergeron (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bergeron was sidelined for Week 10 with the ankle issue, and it's not a positive sign that he was unable to return to begin the new week. However, his status remains unclear for a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers.

Sewell (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Sewell dealt with a shoulder issue last week and logged a DNP/LP/FP practice progression before suiting up Sunday versus Washington. However, he picked up an ankle injury in that contest and has started Week 11 prep as a DNP. Sewell will likely need to return to practice in some capacity before the weekend to have a chance of suiting up Sunday versus Philadelphia.

Lindstrom (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Lindstrom initially suffered the foot injury in Week 9 but managed to play through the issue Sunday against the Colts. That suggests he'll be available for a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers, though his practice status will be worth monitoring for the next two days.

Davenport (pectoral) had his 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Davenport has missed the Lions' last seven games while on injured reserve. He has progressed enough in his recovery from a pectoral injury to return to practice Wednesday, during which he was a limited participant. Davenport likely will need to log full practices before the Lions activate him from IR.

Newman-Johnson (ankle) is questionable for the Jets' matchup versus the Patriots on Thursday.

Newman-Johnson was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice estimate but will still carry an injury designation into Thursday's game. The 26-year-old has only appeared in one game so far this season but should serve as a backup guard if he manages to play against New England.

Bredeson (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Bredeson hurt his hamstring Sunday against New England and didn't play after suffering the injury in the first quarter. It's obviously not a good sign that he was deemed a DNP to begin this week of prep, though he could have a chance to play this Sunday versus Buffalo if he's able to practice in some capacity before the weekend. If Bredeson is ultimately held out against the Bills, Michael Jordan could start at left guard.

Risner (illness) is practicing in full ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Risner missed the Bengals' previous two games before the Week 10 bye, but he appears to be past the illness. Risner was starting at left guard for Cincinnati prior to his absence.

Ingram (knee) was a limited participant in Houston's practice Wednesday.

Ingram sat out the Week 10 win over the Jaguars with a knee injury but managed to return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The 26-year-old should resume his role as the team's starting right guard during Sunday's matchup versus the Texans.

Johnston (foot) was waived from injured reserve by the Bills on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Johnston landed on injured reserve in late September, and he has since missed the required four games. He is eligible to return as soon as he proves to be healthy, and he could find a new opportunity around the league quickly.
