Key (thigh) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Key exited Tennessee's Week 5 win over Arizona with the same thigh injury. The severity of the issue still isn't clear, but his inability to practice in any capacity is at least mildly concerning.

Johnson (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Johnson played through the groin injury in Week 5 versus the Titans, but it still appears to be hampering him as Arizona begins a new week of practice. He'll get two more opportunities to practice in full before the Cardinals release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Simmons (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Simmons got a rest day Wednesday of last week, but this is his first time appearing on the injury report with a true issue this season. He still has plenty of time to recover ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders, so there shouldn't be concern about his status at this point in the week.

Davis (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

A knee injury has prevented Davis from playing in the Chargers' last two games, which has resulted in Tarheeb Still and KeAndre Lambert-Smith taking over as returners on punts and kickoffs. Davis would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Carson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Carson opened the season on injured reserve after hyperextending his knee in late July during training camp. His 21-day practice window to be reinstated from IR opened Oct. 1, but he wasn't cleared to play against the Jets in Week 5 after being limited in practice all week. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a step in the right direction for Carson, who could make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Panthers on Sunday if he continues to practice without limitations.

Flowers (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It's a new injury for the Ravens' top wide receiver and his first time on the injury report this season. Starting the week limited isn't too much of a concern at the moment unless Flowers was injured in Wednesday's practice. If Flowers is unable to play Sunday against the Rams, Baltimore would roll out a wideout group of Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker (oblique).

Jefferson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Jefferson played a season-low 12 offensive snaps (18 percent) in Tennessee's Week 6 win over Arizona, but that may have been caused by his ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to practice and clarify his status ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

Thomas was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Thomas was one of 18 Cowboys players listed on Wednesday's injury report. He likely sustained the ankle injury during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he logged 10 tackles (five solo) while playing every defensive snap. Thomas would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road clash against Carolina if he were to practice in full over the next two days.

Melton (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Melton sat out in Week 5 versus the Titans after hurting his hamstring during practice, and now his availability for Week 6 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Wilson did not practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Wilson was on the field for 77 of 82 defensive snaps (93.9 percent) during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, finishing with eight tackles (three solo). The 2019 sixth-rounder appears to have sustained an elbow injury in the process, and he'll have to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Panthers on Sunday. Juanyeh Thomas is working through an ankle injury, so Alijah Clark and Markquese Bell could see increased snaps at safety if Wilson or Thomas are unable to play against Carolina.
