Ruiz (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Ruiz was sidelined in Week 5 versus the Giants due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 at Buffalo, and now it's unclear whether he'll be ready to go for Week 6. He'll likely have to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Belton (ankle) didn't participate in Green Bay's practice Wednesday.

Belton is still dealing with the ankle injury that sidelined him for the team's Week 4 tie with Dallas. The 24-year-old could be in danger of missing a second consecutive game if he's unable to return to practice Thursday or Friday.

Love (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Love was sidelined for the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers, and coach Mike Macdonald said a decision about Love's status for a Week 6 matchup against Jacksonville won't come until later this week. His lack of participation isn't a great sign, but he did participate in the walkthrough portion of Wednesday's session, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic .

Humphrey (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Humphrey suffered a calf injury during the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, which prevented him from playing against the Texans in Week 5. The veteran corner hasn't been able to practice since sustaining the injury, so he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday to have a shot at playing in Sunday's home game against the Rams.

Jones (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Jones played 100 percent of defensive snaps and logged seven tackles in Week 5 against Tampa Bay, so it's unclear when he suffered the injury. The issue shouldn't be overly concerning at this point in the week, though Jones' practice status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Booker (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Booker has sat out the Cowboys' last two games due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 3 at Chicago, and his availability for Week 6 is now in question, too. He'll probably need to return to the practice field Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to play Sunday at Carolina.

Morrison (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

The rookie second-rounder suffered a hamstring injury during Tampa Bay's Week 4 loss to Philadelphia. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury and was ruled out for Week 5 against the Seahawks. Morrison would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity in order to have a shot at playing against the 49ers on Sunday. He has logged five solo tackles and one pass defense through the first three regular-season games of his NFL career.

Banks (groin) was a limited participant in the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Banks sat out the Week 4 tie with Dallas but appears to be closer to returning after using the team's recent bye week to get healthy. If he manages to play Sunday versus the Bengals, the 28-year-old should reclaim his spot as Green Bay's starting left guard.

Guyton (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Guyton was forced to sit out in Week 5 against the Jets because of the concussion he sustained in Week 4 versus the Packers, but his activity Wednesday is a positive sign for his potential availability in Week 6. He'll have two more days to exit concussion protocol before the Cowboys release their last practice report of the week Friday.
