Brown (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Brown didn't practice to begin the week after missing the Eagles' last two games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also missing Wednesday's practice, Jalen Hurts may need to rely on Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks once again in Week 5 versus Jacksonville. There's a chance Dallas Goedert (knee) will be back as well.

Kolar (forearm) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Kolar has missed the Chargers' last two games while recovering from a fractured left forearm that he sustained in Week 2 against the Seahawks. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice Wednesday, and his participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Broncos on Sunday. If Kolar is cleared to return, then he would likely split starting tight end duties with Oronde Gadsden, especially with David Njoku (knee) on injured reserve.

White (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

It's not clear when White picked up the injury, but that he got in some activity at practice Wednesday suggests it's probably not overly serious. As long as he can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, there's a solid chance he'll be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Thornton (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

The Raiders designated Thornton for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, and it appears he may be close to being officially activated. The fact that free-agent acquisitions Jalen Nailor (concussion) and Cody White (ankle) are tending to injuries could give Las Vegas additional incentive to get Thornton ready for game action sooner than later.

Holani (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Holani rushed seven times for 18 yards in the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Chargers. The running back played through a rib injury and looks to be on pace to do so again in Week 5. With limited practice in Thursday and Friday sessions, Holani will likely be free of any injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 26-year-old should continue to play second fiddle to Emanuel Wilson in the contest.

Raridon (ankle) was not listed in Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Raridon exited Sunday's win over the Bills due to an ankle injury. However, he's not listed on the injury report ahead of the Week 5 meeting with Las Vegas.

The Eagles signed Ezukanma to the practice squad Wednesday.

Ezukanma originally signed with the Eagles on June 16, then was released in August. The wide receiver now returns to the franchise as depth after injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) weakened the Eagles' pass-catching options.

Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that he does not expect Surtain (ankle) to spend time on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Surtain injured his ankle during the Broncos' Week 4 loss to the 49ers, but the initial tests ruled out a severe injury and estimated a two-game absence. The star defensive back did not practice Wednesday, and it seems like he won't be available for Sunday's AFC West showdown against the Chargers. Riley Moss (ribs) could also miss time, so the Broncos will likely start Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine at outside cornerback for the time being.

Cisse (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Cisse suffered a neck injury during the Packers' Week 4 win over the Buccaneers. The cornerback cleared an independent concussion check and was believed to have suffered a short-term issue. Cisse is now back to full participation and appears set to continue preparing for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Bears.

Reaves (finger) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Reaves injured his finger during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that the injury is not a serious issue and puts him on track to play against the Giants on Sunday. Reaves has 27 tackles (16 solo) and one pass defense through the first four games of the regular season.
