Johnston (shin) was limited at practice Wednesday.

As was fellow wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle), which makes the duo's status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Johnston was on the field for 82 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in the team's Week 10 win over the Steelers en route to logging a team-high 10 targets, and at this stage it's unclear if his shin issue is something that occurred in that contest or popped up during Wednesday's practice.

McConkey (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

The same applies to fellow wideout Quentin Johnston (shin), with both players managing new injury issues ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. While recording a 71 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Steelers, McConkey had four catches on six targets for a team-high 107 yards and a touchdown while Johnston recorded a 5-42-0 receiving line on 10 targets.

Head coach Zac Taylor said that Stewart (knee) remains week-to-week Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Stewart got the same label to start last week following the Bengals' Week 9 loss to the Bears, so he doesn't appear to have made much progress over the bye. He looks unlikely to suit up in Week 11 against the Steelers, though his status is not official.

The Cardinals signed Baccellia from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Baccellia opted to stay in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. He hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2023, but his addition to the active roster comes after the Cardinals placed fellow wide receivers Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (wrist) on injured reserve. With Marvin Harrison (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers and Xavier Weaver (ankle) listed as questionable, Baccellia could play a meaningful role on offense in his 2025 regular-season debut.

Gadsden (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Previous reports indicated that Gadsden was dealing with a quad bruise, but he's listed with a knee issue on the Chargers' Week 11 injury report. In any case, the tight end's full participation Wednesday paves the way for him to play Sunday against the Jaguars, and in the process maintain his key role in Los Angeles' passing offense, a context that has kept Gadsden on the fantasy radar since his production picked up in Week 6.

Davis (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Davis has been sidelined for Miami's past two games due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 8 at Atlanta, and he's still not fully healthy to begin the new week of preparation. He'll likely need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Cleveland signed Davis to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, the Browns' official site reports.

The Browns are dipping into to the practice squad for Davis to provide insurance at wide receiver. Both Isaiah Bond (foot) and Cedric Tillman (glute) were limited at practice Wednesday as the team prepares for the Ravens in Week 11. In addition to the two injured wideouts, tight end Harold Fannin (hamstring) was a limited participant. Davis has appeared in one game for Cleveland this season.

Eskridge (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Eskridge was unable to practice at all last week before sitting out Sunday versus the Bills, so his activity Wednesday is a step in the right direction to start Miami's new week of preparation. With that said, he'll still probably have to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Epenesa (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Epenesa missed Buffalo's Week 10 loss to Miami with a concussion. While it's encouraging that he returned to practice, it remains unclear whether he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Epenesa will need to take that final step before being cleared for a Week 11 matchup against Tampa Bay.

Long (hip/knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Long didn't practice last week before being ruled out for Sunday's loss to the Texans, with another DNP now clouding his Week 11 status. Fellow tight end Brenton Strange (hip) was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd be in a position to reclaim his spot in the Jaguars' starting lineup.
