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.

Ridgeway (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Ridgeway has been on injured reserve since late August and is eligible to return as soon as he's healthy. A full practice is a step in the right direction, but he'll need to be activated from injured reserve before he can return to game action.

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

Wilson played all 67 of Arizona's defensive snaps in Week 5 versus the Titans, and it's not clear when he picked up the ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice before the Cardinals release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Kneeland (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

An ankle injury prevented Kneeland from playing against the Jets in Week 5. He has two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against Carolina. James Houston (knee) and Jadeveon Clowney (hip) would continue to see more snaps at defensive end if Kneeland is not cleared to return.

Yiadom (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday.

Yiadom was sidelined for New Orleans' Week 5 win over the Giants. His inability to practice Wednesday isn't encouraging, but he'll have the chance to ramp up his activity as the week progresses toward Sunday's matchup against New England.

Houston was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Houston played 27 defensive snaps during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets but still managed to produce with three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks. He had his practice reps limited during Wednesday's session, but he has two more opportunities to increase his participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's road bout against the Panthers.
