Dallas designated Beebe (ankle) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday.

Beebe hasn't been able to participate in football activities since hurting his ankle in Week 2 versus the Giants, but it now looks like he's nearing a return to action as the Cowboys begin Week 8 preparation. His level of activity at practice during the week will be worth keeping an eye on as Sunday's game at Denver approaches.

Booker (knee) participated in practice fully Wednesday.

Booker is still on injured reserve, though he was designated to return Oct. 7. He has until Oct. 28 to be activated or else be forced to miss the remainder of the season. Booker was able to log a trio of full practices last week, so he seems to be closing in on a return.

Ham (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Ham was a DNP at practice during the condensed week due to a left hand injury that he sustained against the Eagles on Sunday, and the veteran fullback will be sidelined for Thursday's game as a result. The Vikings don't have another fullback on the roster, but they could use tight ends such as Josh Oliver, Ben Yurosek and practice squad member Nick Vannett as blockers out of the backfield for Week 8. Ham's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

The Broncos signed Rowan to their practice squad Wednesday, Jon Heath of Broncos Wire reports.

Rowan originally signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent back in May but he ultimately was waived during August roster cuts. Now he's back with the team as a member of the practice squad but probably won't get see snaps anytime soon barring an injury to a wideout on the active roster.

Jarrett (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Jarrett has missed each of Chicago's past three contests while dealing with a knee injury. He did return to a limited practice last Friday but wasn't cleared to suit up in this past Sunday's win over New Orleans. Jarrett has a chance to make his return this Sunday against Baltimore, though how he does in practice the next two days could ultimately determine whether he'll suit up.

Jones (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Jones suffered the injury in Week 1 and has been sidelined since. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return for the Colts' Week 8 matchup against the Titans, but he did turn in a limited practice Wednesday.

The Broncos signed Ehlinger from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Ehlinger opted to stay in Denver on the practice squad after being cut Friday, and he's back on the active roster in the spot vacated by Dre Greenlaw (suspension). Ehlinger will serve as the Broncos' QB3 behind starter Bo Nix and backup Jarrett Stidham.

Detroit placed Cunningham (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Wednesday, Jacob Richman of mlive.com reports.

Cunningham returned to action in Week 7 versus the Buccaneers after a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue, but he aggravated the injury during that contest, and now he'll have to miss at least the next four games, too. Most of his snaps this year have come on special teams, so the Lions will have to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in the meantime.

Schultz (back/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

While logging a 75 percent snap share in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks, Schultz racked up nine catches on 10 targets for a team-high 98 yards. However, with the tight end managing a pair of injuries, his status will need to be monitored ahead of this weekend's contest against the 49ers. If Schultz is available, he could remain busy in Week 8, with WRs Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both banged up and having missed Wednesday's practice.

The Ravens placed Robinson (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

The move comes after Robinson broke his foot during the Ravens' Week 6 loss to the Rams. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four games and would be eligible to return from IR for the Ravens' Week 12 contest against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 23. Robinson was given a six- to eight-week timeline to recover from his foot injury, so he'll likely stay on IR past the four-game minimum.
