Brown missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, but he's on track to play this Sunday against the Giants, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

A return to practice Thursday would support the notion that Brown's hamstring injury is minor. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.

Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones was cleared of a rib injury to play in the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Steelers, when he played two snaps on special teams and recorded a fair catch on a punt. He's still nursing the injury, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track toward being available for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hudson (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hudson's limited session Wednesday is a positive sign, given that he wasn't able to practice during Week 7 prep while in the league's concussion protocol. The next step for the seventh-year tight end would be to log a full practice, which would get him closer to clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hendrickson (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hendrickson is considered day-to-day due to a lingering hip injury, but he would give himself a better chance to play against the Jets on Sunday if he were to practice in full Thursday or Friday. The veteran pass rusher has recorded 4.0 sacks through six regular-season games, which is well behind the 17.5 sacks he logged in both 2023 and 2024.

Goedert was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury.

It's a new injury, though likely not a major one, with Goedert managing a limited practice on a day when four other starters were held out. WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) was one of those starters, which means Philadelphia's subsequent injury reports will need to be monitored. Brown didn't have much production in 2025 prior to Sunday's win over Minnesota, but he's leading the Eagles in targets again, with his 7.3 per game accounting for 27.4 percent of the team total. Goedert, meanwhile, has accounted for 21.7 percent of Philadelphia's targets in his six active games, averaging a career-high 6.0 targets per contest even after a quiet Week 7 with just 18 yards on three looks.

Landry (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Landry was cleared to play through an ankle injury during the Patriots' Week 7 win over the Titans, when he logged three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, while playing 37 of 53 defensive snaps (69.8 percent). He had his snaps limited in Wednesday's practice session, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track to play against the Browns on Sunday. The 2018 second-rounder has 5.5 sacks through seven regular-season games, which is tied for sixth most in the NFL.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

It's the first time this season he's missed practice due to an injury. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of offensive snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.

Penix (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that Penix came out of Sunday's 20-10 loss in San Francisco with a bone bruise in his foot/ankle, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site. Morris then told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Penix was "day-to-day" before the Falcons listed him with a knee injury on the first Week 8 practice report. No matter the nature of the issue, Morris feels good about the second-year quarterback ahead of the weekend, according to Raimondi, but Kirk Cousins is waiting in the wings in the event Penix isn't able to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins.

Woodson did not practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Woodson logged just one tackle while playing every defensive snap during the Patriots' Week 7 win over the Titans. The rookie fourth-rounder appears to have picked up an ankle injury during that game, which was severe enough for him to sit out of Wednesday's practice. Woodson will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of the Patriots' Week 8 home clash against the Browns on Sunday. Woodson has started in each of the first seven games of the regular season and has accumulated 21 tackles (13 solo), one pass defense and one fumble recovery.

Hawkins (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

A hamstring injury sidelined Hawkins for the Patriots' last two games, but the 2020 fourth-rounder is on track to return for Week 8 against the Browns on Sunday. Hawkins' return will mean less snaps at safety for Kyle Dugger, though rookie fourth-rounder Craig Woodson is nursing an ankle injury that prevented him practicing Wednesday.
