Fehoko (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Fehoko suffered the injury in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. He'll now be out until at least Week 15. The Cardinals' wide receiver corps has taken a significant hit recently, with Zay Jones (Achilles) out for the year and Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) out for at least Week 11.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Deablo (forearm) could return from injured reserve ahead of the Falcons' Week 12 clash against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Deablo was placed on injured reserve in late October after fracturing his forearm during the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the 49ers. Sunday's game against the Panthers will mark his fourth game missed due to his injury, which is the minimum number of games a player has to spend while on injured reserve. Deablo was an every-down linebacker when active, so his return would likely revert JD Bertrand to a rotational role on defense.

Washington designated Harris (ankle) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

Harris has spent the last seven weeks on the Commanders' injured reserve list with a fractured fibula he suffered in Week 3 versus the Raiders, but it now appears he could be on track to returning to game action soon. His availability at practice during the week will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game at Miami, and he began the week with a limited practice Wednesday.

Thomas (ankle) returned to a limited practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Thomas didn't practice last week before being ruled out for this past Sunday's loss to the Texans, so his return to a limited session Wednesday offers hope that the wideout can play this weekend against the Chargers. However, unless Thomas is able to practice fully by Friday, he figures to carry a Week 11 injury designation. Meanwhile, fellow WR Parker Washington -- who has been targeted 26 times in his last three games -- missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

The Steelers waived Sermon on Wednesday.

Sermon was signed off the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the fifth-year running back has been let go by Pittsburgh just four days later. He should garner interest on the waiver wire from teams looking for another contributor on special teams who can provide depth out of the backfield.

The Eagles activated Bennett (pectoral) from injured reserve Wednesday.

Bennett missed the Eagles' last six games due to a pectoral injury that he sustained in Week 3 against the Rams. He was able to practice in full during Week 10 prep, and his activation from IR means he'll be available to play Sunday against the Lions. The move corresponds with the Eagles placing Jaire Alexander (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list.

The Eagles placed Alexander (undisclosed) on the reserve/retired list Wednesday.

Alexander was acquired by Philadelphia from Baltimore in early November, but the 28-year-old corner informed the Eagles on Tuesday that he's stepping away and considering retirement, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Alexander has elected to step aside to "focus on getting right physically and mentally," which leaves the door open for the 2018 first-rounder to return to the NFL if he's ready to do so. The move corresponds with the Eagles activating fellow corner Jakorian Bennett (pectoral) from injured reserve.

Wilson will take on the No. 1 WR role in the Cardinals offense for at least Sunday's game against the 49ers following Marvin Harrison's appendectomy Monday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Wilson is in sole possession of third in most receiving categories among Arizona's skill-position players behind TE Trey McBride and Harrison. With Harrison's 6.9 targets per game now up for grabs for the foreseeable future, Wilson stands to benefit along with Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver (ankle) and Andre Baccellia. Wilson has averaged 10.5 yards per catch and 6.1 yards per target this season, so even with the expected bump in volume he may not produce enough on game days to be a consideration in many fantasy formats.

Knight (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Knight and Emari Demercado have been splitting the majority of the RB snaps since the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, with both players earning 22 touches over the last two games. Demercado has been far more effective with those reps, accruing 182 yards from scrimmage to Knight's 80 total yards. Knight exited this past Sunday's loss at Seattle with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, and he likely will need to log a full session Thursday and/or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Mims (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

It's his first full practice since suffering a concussion in the Week 8 win over Dallas. Mims is trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, but he'll likely be a part-time player behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps/routes.
