Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Wicks (calf) will not practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Wicks is working his way back from a calf injury suffered Week 7 versus Arizona, and he didn't practice at all Week 8 en route to being ruled out versus the Steelers. He appears to now be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Panthers. That said, Wicks will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before Green Bay decides whether to assign him a game-day injury designation for Week 9.

Simmons (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The 28-year-old has not returned to practice since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Titans' Week 7 loss to the Patriots. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at playing in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

The Seahawks signed Jones to their practice squad Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

The 2022 third-round pick from Tennessee was dropped from the Saints' active roster on Oct. 24, but he's already found a new home in Seattle. Jones appeared in five games for the Saints this season, recording 183 kick-return yards across 76 total snaps (74 on special teams, two on offense). Now with the Seahawks, he could be elevated to the active roster at some point this season as a return man.

Jordan was cut from the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

The 2024 sixth-round pick from Louisville landed with the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, the team has now decided to move in another direction. Jordan has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 1,374 total yards and 14 touchdowns on 202 touches during his final collegiate season in 2023.

Keene signed with the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

Following a successful workout with the Texans on Oct. 23, Keene has joined the team's practice squad. The addition comes on the same day that starting tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) was unable to practice Wednesday. Keene last played for Houston in 2023, failing to record an offensive stat across 22 total snaps (14 on special teams, eight on offense).

Milano (pectoral) will practice in full Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The 31-year-old had missed Buffalo's last two games due to a pectoral injury that he aggravated in the Week 5 loss to the Patriots, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Milano has appeared in three games for the Bills this year, recording 15 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 100 defensive snaps. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Terrel Bernard in the Bills' linebacker corps.

Bernard (ankle) will practice in full Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Bernard was active for the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers but didn't play a snap due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior. His full practice participation Wednesday suggests he's completely moved past the issue and will be ready to face the Chiefs in Week 9. Expect Bernard to reassume his duties as one of the Bills' top inside linebackers Sunday.

Jones (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

The veteran defensive lineman has been sidelined for the Bills' last two games and has yet to return to practice since sustaining a calf injury. Jones likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at playing in Sunday's contest against Kansas City. If he's inactive again, expect Deone Walker to play an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line.

Davis (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Davis appears to have come down with an illness that's holding him out of Wednesday's practice. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs. If the second-year pro is inactive, expect Ty Johnson to handle all of Buffalo's reserve running back duties.

Davis (knee) moved to active practice squad status and will practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

The veteran wideout was placed on the Bills' practice squad injured list in early September, but it now appears he's recovered from the issue. Davis appeared in 10 game for the Jaguars in 2024, catching 20 of 42 targets for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Now fully healthy, he could find his way back onto Buffalo's active roster down the stretch, as he's very familiar with the team's offense.
