Lamb (ankle) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

As expected, Lamb had his reps capped while practicing for the first time since he suffered a left high-ankle sprain in the Cowboys' Week 3 loss at Chicago. Fellow Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (foot) also returned to practice Wednesday, potentially pushing Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy further down the depth chart. It isn't clear at this point if the Cowboys expect Lamb and/or Turpin to be ready to play in Sunday's home game against the Commanders.

Murray (foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prior to sitting out this past Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Murray managed one limited session Friday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported late Saturday that the quarterback was tending to a mid-foot sprain that may force him to sit out multiple weeks. Coach Jonathan Gannon told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com on Wednesday that Murray will need to "make sure he's healthy enough to play. We'll progress him along this week and see where he's at." Murray's activity level Thursday and Friday thus will be key for his chances to return Sunday against the Packers, but if he needs more time to recover, Jacoby Brissett is on hand to lead the Cardinals offense.

Johnston (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Johnston managed to log a trio of limited practice sessions before being ruled out for the Chargers' win over the Dolphins in Week 6, so he may need to resume practicing in full in order to gain clearance for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. If the third-year pro were forced to miss any more time, rookie second-round pick Tre' Harris would get another chance to step into an expanded offensive role alongside Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Jefferson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

With Calvin Ridley (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday, Jefferson's status is of added import ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Ridley was forced out of the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders with a hamstring injury after logging just six snaps, which led to Jefferson recording a season-high 74 percent snaps share en route to catching four of his six targets for 75 yards.

Slye (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Slye wasn't able to practice in any capacity before being ruled out for the Titans' loss to the Raiders in Week 6, so for him to now log limited activity is a tangible step in the right direction. If Slye can upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

Kamara (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara was limited in practice all of last week due to an ankle issue but still suited up this past Sunday against the Patriots, handling 62 percent of the snaps and turning 15 touches into 76 yards from scrimmage in that contest. Coach Kellen Moore told Terrell that Kamara will be on a maintenance plan for the injury for the time being, and the fact that the running back was a DNP to begin Week 7 prep doesn't mean the concern got worse, as Moore relayed to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Ultimately, Kamara may need to practice fully by Friday in order to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed Wednesday that Rice will play in Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Reid declined to discuss expectations for playing time, saying he isn't sure how many snaps Rice will take. Reid did say that the wideout is in good shape, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Chiefs won't ease Rice back into action. Rice's impressive production to this point in his career means most fantasy managers will want him in lineups, even if there are minor workload concerns for his first game in more than a year. He's coming back from a six-game suspension after completing his rehab from an LCL tear during the offseason. Rice also dealt with a groin injury during the preseason, but there's been no hint of any trouble there since August. He's been allowed at team facilities since Week 4, giving the Chiefs plenty of time to evaluate his conditioning and get him up to speed schematically.

Jeudy (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jeudy is listed on Cleveland's injury report for the first time this year, though the fact that he was able to practice on at least a limited basis provides reason for optimism that he'll be able to gain clearance for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Still, Jeudy has struggled notably with efficiency across two appearances with quarterback Dillon Gabriel under center, having totaled seven grabs for 58 yards (on 18 targets) in that span. Even if he's able to resume practicing in full and avoid an injury designation entirely for Week 7, fantasy managers may be motivated to pursue an option at the wide receiver position that has demonstrated greater upside. Across six regular-season appearances so far Jeudy has yet to score a touchdown, and he hasn't surpassed 50 receiving yards since Week 2.

The Cardinals placed Vokolek on injured reserve Wednesday due to a season-ending neck injury, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Vokolek was carted off the field during Arizona's loss to the Colts in Week 6 due to a neck injury and concussion suffered during kickoff coverage. He was evaluated at a local hospital before being released the same day, but head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that the third-year tight end won't be a candidate to return to action this season. Vokolek suited up for a career-high five regular-season games with Arizona in 2025, though he wasn't targeted on offense.

Hyatt was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt has settled into a modest role in New York's offense over the last three games, but it took him until last Thursday's win against the Eagles to make a mark in the box score (3-17-0 on five targets). With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) still not practicing, Hyatt is lined up to be involved on game days, assuming he makes it through Week 7 prep unscathed.
