Young logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Young has yet to play this season, so his availability for any portion of practice is encouraging. Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Young began practicing later in the session, but he was wearing pads and participating in all activities.

Norman-Lott (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Norman-Lott sat out in Week 5 at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury, but it now looks like he's back to 100 percent for Week 6. He projects to start on the defensive line Sunday against a run-heavy Lions squad.

Sanborn (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Sanborn entered concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets. The fourth-year linebacker would have to return to practice this week and be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday. Rookie fifth-rounder Shemar James logged 15 tackles in Week 5 and would be in line to start against Carolina if Sanborn is not cleared to play.

Reid (concussion) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Reid suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Giants and is in the league's protocol. He'll need to practice in full at some point this week to be available in Week 6 against the Patriots, but this was a positive start.

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

Diggs continues to have his practice participation limited due to a lingering knee injury from the 2024 season. He hasn't missed a single regular-season game this year and played every defensive snap during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets, when he logged four tackles (one solo). Diggs will likely play against the Panthers on Sunday unless he suffers a setback over the coming days.

Stewart (biceps) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Stewart left Sunday's win versus the Raiders in the third quarter after suffering an injury to his bicep, but it doesn't look like it will threaten his availability in Week 6. He should start Sunday against a Cardinals team that likes to drop back to pass.

Brown (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Brown, who has been managing a shoulder issue, logged a 66 percent snap share in Monday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs, en route to catching two of his four targets in the contest for 15 yards. With no reported setbacks since then, chances are the wideout's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Alt (ankle) is doing "really well," Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Alt did not participate at practice Wednesday, but his coach's words signal optimism he could return to the field soon. He'll have two more chances to mix back into team activities before the Chargers publish their final practice report of the week Friday.

Bland was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Bland played 70 snaps on defense during the Cowboys' Week 5 win over the Jets and finished with seven tackles (six solo). He may have picked up a shoulder injury in the process, which limited his practice participation Wednesday. Bland's practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Panthers on Sunday.

Tagovailoa (hip/left thumb) was limited at practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Tagovailoa, who is coming off a 256-yard, three-TD effort in the Dolphins' 27-24 loss to the Panthers this past Sunday, is now managing two injury concerns ahead of this Sunday's contest against the Chargers. While so far there's nothing to suggest that the QB's Week 6 status is in any danger, Tagovailoa will likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
