McDonald was not on Wednesday's injury report.

McDonald was evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's loss to Denver. He apparently cleared those checks and should be available for a Week 7 matchup against the Panthers.

The Chiefs signed Brownlee to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brownlee had been on Kansas City's active roster until he was waived Monday. Rather than explore an opportunity elsewhere, the 26-year-old wideout is returning to the Chiefs as a member of the practice squad. Brownlee has played in five of the team's six games so far this season but has drawn just one target on offense while doing most of his work on special teams.

Armstrong (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Armstrong sustained a hamstring injury during the Commanders' 25-24 loss to the Bears on Monday, which caused him to leave the game twice. Armstrong would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's NFC East road clash against the Cowboys. Jalyn Holmes and Jer'Zhan Newton would stand to see more snaps on the Commanders' defensive line if Armstrong is not able to play against Dallas.

Key (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday.

Key suffered the injury during Tennessee's Week 5 win over Arizona and then sat out Sunday's contest against the Raiders. It's not a great sign that he was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday, but he'll have two more days to increase his activity.

Sneed (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday.

Sneed recorded a season-high 10 tackles in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but he may have gotten hurt in the game. His participation the rest of the week should provide a better idea of whether he's in any danger of missing Tennessee's Week 7 matchup against New England.

Cooper was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.

Cooper likely picked up the injury during the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Jets, when he tallied 2.0 sacks. He would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants if he practices in full over the next two days. The 2021 seventh-rounder is up to 18 tackles (10 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and two pass defenses through the first six games of the regular season.

Landry (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Landry played 47 of the Patriots' 51 defensive snaps in Week 6 at New Orleans, so it's not immediately clear when he picked up the ankle issue. It will be worth monitoring whether he is able to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, as it's not likely he'd be able to play Sunday at Tennessee otherwise.

Elliss (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Elliss's injury designation for Wednesday's practice was for just a shoulder injury, which indicates the 2024 third-rounder is past a rib issue that he picked up during the Broncos' Week 5 win over the Eagles. He'll have two more opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity, which would give him a chance at being cleared to play against the Giants on Sunday.

Sanborn (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

This is a step in a positive direction for Sanborn, who didn't practice at all last week and missed this past Sunday's game against Carolina. However, the fourth-year linebacker will need to clear concussion protocol in order to be eligible to suit up in Week 7 against Washington. Sanborn was hurt in the first half of the game against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 5.

The Broncos designated Greenlaw (quadriceps) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Greenlaw has not played in a single regular-season game in 2025 due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained in the spring. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, and the 2019 fifth-rounder was a limited participant in Wednesday's session. Greenlaw would have to practice in a full capacity over the next two days to have a realistic chance at being reinstated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.
