Jones (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Ryan Mink of the team's official website reports.

Jones popped up on last week's injury report and was unable to play in last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. With Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) on injured reserve and a laundry list of other injuries across the defense, getting back Jones would be a big boost to the Ravens' defensive line.

Dissly (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Dissly, who has missed the Chargers' last two games and had sat out all six of the team's practices since the start of Week 3 prep, is thus moving in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. The tight end will presumably need to practice fully by Friday, however, in order to avoid a Week 5 injury designation.

Nichols (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Nichols remains on the reserve/PUP list but was designated for return Monday, opening his 21-day practice window. His return to the lineup will be a big boost to the interior of Arizona's defensive line.

Robinson (pectoral) did not practice Wednesday.

Robinson was injured in the second half of last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks. The 2024 first-rounder has appeared in all four games to begin the season and has recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, on 53 percent of the defensive snaps.

Johnson (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Johnson has missed the Cardinals' past two contests, but a limited start to the practice week would seem to put the rookie cornerback in position to return this Sunday against the Titans. Kei'Trel Clark has been filling in at cornerback during Johnson's absence.

Fehoko (concussion) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Fehoko suffered a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Seahawks and remains in the league's protocol. Fehoko has yet to play an offensive snap this season but has logged 38 on special teams.

Brown (groin/knee) missed Wednesday's practice.

Brown hasn't practiced since sustaining a groin injury during a Week 2 loss at Green Bay, but he was spotted on the side working with a strength coach Wednesday, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Deebo Samuel (heel) also not practicing Wednesday, the Commanders' receiving corps is in flux in advance of Sunday's game at the Chargers.

Reid (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Reid has started all four games to this point and has played 96 percent of the defensive snaps. This is the first time he's been listed on the injury report. Reid has 16 tackles (13 solo) and one pass breakup across four appearances.

Samuel didn't practice Wednesday due to a heel injury.

With Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) inactive this past Sunday in Atlanta, Samuel hauled in all six targets for 72 yards and one touchdown and added three carries for nine yards on an 86 percent snap share. As the Commanders kick off Week 5 prep, though, Samuel has joined McLaurin and Brown as non-participants, leaving the top of the team's receiving corps in flux ahead of Sunday's contest at the Chargers.

Carter is positioned alongside Emari Demercado as one of Arizona's top backfield options with Trey Benson (knee) on IR and recovering from arthroscopic surgery, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Carter, who was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Monday, now has a significant backfield opportunity with Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting that Benson will miss 4-to-6 weeks and James Conner (foot) already out for the year. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said "we'll see how the week goes" when asked whether Carter or Demercado will start Sunday's matchup against the Titans, suggesting that reps remain up for grabs. Carter appeared in three regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2024, in which span he logged 35 carries for 131 yards (3.7 YPC) and one score, while securing all 11 of his targets for 57 yards. In theory, Carter projects more for early-down work while Demercado is more suited to a pass-catching role, but if either tailback demonstrates a hot hand he could secure the No. 1 gig until Benson returns.
