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

Oliver has missed the Titans' last six games due to a lingering knee injury, but a full practice over the next two days would put him in line to return against the Chargers on Sunday. Oliver would likely serve in a return role on special teams if he's cleared to play Week 9, though he could also see some snaps on offense if Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is cleared to play.

McConkey (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

While recording a 58 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Vikings, McConkey caught six of a team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. The wideout has put up a 43-468-3 receiving line in eight contests to date and now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.

Chubb (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Baltimore, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Chubb ended the shortened week with a limited practice Wednesday to earn the questionable tag for Week 9. Fellow veteran defensive end Matthew Judon would be in line for an increased snap count on defense if Chubb is not cleared to play against the Ravens. Chubb logged 4.0 sacks through the first five games of the regular season but has failed to record a sack over the Dolphins' last three games.

Eskridge (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Eskridge increased his practice participation over the shortened week, culminating in a full session Wednesday to earn him the questionable tag for Thursday night's game. His official status for Week 9 may not be officially known until the Dolphins announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Eskridge is not cleared to play, then Malik Washington and Ollie Gordon would likely handle most of the return duties on kickoffs and punts while Cedrick Wilson and Tahj Washington would be in line for more rotational snaps at wide receiver.

Davis (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Davis was listed as a DNP on all three practice reports during Week 9 prep and has an uphill battle to climb in order to suit up Thursday. Ifeatu Melifonwu (thumb) is listed as questionable, but he would be in line to start at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick if Davis is in fact inactive, with Elijah Campbell being the other option if Melifonwu is also ruled out.

Schultz didn't practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Per Warren, Schultz didn't appear to be hurt at any point in the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers and played until the game's final snap. Meanwhile, coach DeMeco Ryans noted Wednesday that the team is expecting the tight end "back as the week goes on...he's doing well, progressing just fine.'' Assuming Schultz is available Sunday against the Broncos, he could be working alongside wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), who both returned to limited practices Wednesday.

The Patriots signed Jennings off the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

The Patriots elevated Jennings for the practice squad three times this season, so his addition to the active roster ensures that the second-year pro will continue to play with New England this season. He has served as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, and Jennings has turned seven carries into 33 yards over his last two games. Jennings has also worked on special teams and should continue to serve that role while providing backfield depth now that he is on the 53-man roster.

Bowers (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bowers last saw game action in Week 4, but following the Raiders' bye week, the tight end is poised to return to the team's lineup Sunday against the Jaguars. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, coach Pete Carroll noted Wednesday that Bowers has looked great of late and has been working at full speed, while the star tight end himself said he's "ready to roll" ahead of Week 9 action. In four games this season, Bowers (who caught 112 passes as a rookie in 2024) compiled a 19/225/0 receiving line on 27 targets.

Brown (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Brown has been working through a shoulder issue since sustaining the injury in Week 3 against the Texans. He'll continue to have his practice reps monitored to avoid aggravating the injury, and he'll likely be cleared to play against the Raiders on Sunday unless he suffers a setback. The 2021 third-rounder logged six catches (on 13 targets) for 78 yards and one carry for seven yards across his last three games.

Moore (Achilles) did not practice Wednesday.

Moore missed three games due to an Achilles issue, but he has managed the injury to play in the Colts' last two games. He'll continue to have his practice snaps monitored and should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers unless he suffers a setback. The veteran corner has logged 23 tackles (14 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses (including a pick-six) and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.
