The Lions listed Rodriguez (knee) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

The Lions opened Rodriguez's 21-day practice window Monday as he enters the final stage of his recovery from torn ACL that he suffered last November. Wednesday's report was an estimate as a practice wasn't held, so Thursday's session will be his first opportunity for on-field reps since his injury. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, Rodriguez is gearing up to make his 2025 debut against the Eagles in Week 11.

The Lions listed Joseph (knee) as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Joseph is recovering from a knee injury he sustained during the Lions' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs, which prevented him from playing against the Buccaneers in Week 7. The Lions didn't hold a practice Wednesday, so the 2022 third-rounder will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Vikings. Joseph's return would mean less defensive snaps at safety for Thomas Harper and Erick Hallett.

Adkins (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Adkins suffered the knee injury in Sunday's win over the Cowboys and did not return. His status for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Texans is likely in doubt, though he'll still have two days to increase his practice activity.

Brinson was not listed on the Packers' injury report Wednesday.

Brinson has appeared in two games this season, though he was a healthy scratch for most of the campaign. He missed Sunday's win against the Steelers due to a hamstring issue but is back at full health heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Panthers.

Washington (back) didn't participate in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Washington popped up on the injury report after catching one pass for 25 yards in the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins. With Drake London (hip) and Darnell Mooney (hamstring) also dealing with injuries, the Falcons could be shorthanded at receiver for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

Taylor (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Taylor played nearly all of New Orleans' defensive snaps in Week 8 versus the Buccaneers, so it's not clear when he hurt his shoulder. He'll get two more opportunities to upgrade to full participation at practice before the Saints release their last practice report of the week Friday.

Van Ness (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Coach Matt LaFleur noted earlier Wednesday that Van Ness wouldn't practice, but that he is considered day-to-day. That marks some progress, as Van Ness has been sidelined for each of Green Bay's last two games. He'll likely need to turn in a limited practice Thursday to have a realistic chance to play in Week 9 against the Panthers.

Ya-Sin (lower body) was not listed on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Ya-Sin was forced to leave the Lions' Week 7 contest against the Buccaneers due to cramps, but the 2019 second-rounder has had extra time to recover thanks to the Week 8 bye. He started in the Lions' two games prior to the bye, though his playing time on defense likely will decrease, as Terrion Arnold (shoulder) appears to be on track to play against the Vikings on Sunday.

Lloyd (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Lloyd sat out the Jaguars' last game before their Week 8 bye versus the Rams due to a calf injury, and now he's in danger of being sidelined for Week 9 action as well. He'll likely need to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Wyatt (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Wyatt has been hampered by a knee issue since Week 4 but managed to return to game action in Green Bay's win over Pittsburgh. A limited session is likely just to limit his reps ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the Panthers, though his status will be worth monitoring throughout the week.
