Williams is expected to see more playing time Week 2 versus the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com report.

Williams didn't garner a target over 11 offensive snaps in the team's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks in Week 1. Now with A.J. Brown (ankle) on injured reserve, the second-year wide receiver has a clear path to more opportunities against Pittsburgh on Sunday. Williams caught 10 of 21 targets for 209 yards and three touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests with New England last season.

Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports

Okada has now missed four consecutive regular-season practice sessions with a hamstring injury. The Seahawks' starting strong safety does not appear to have improved much since being ruled out ahead of last Sunday's 13-10 win over the Patriots. Okada will likely miss next Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, leaving Rodney Thomas to once again be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a role in the team's secondary.

Sanders will have the opportunity to work in an expanded role in the Browns' offense after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Petrak of BrownsZone reports.

Sampson injured his knee on a kickoff return during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars, and he'll be required to miss at least the next four games while on IR. Sanders finished that game with three catches on as many targets for 25 yards along with a one-yard carry, but moving forward, he should see more offensive snaps as the Browns' RB2 behind Quinshon Judkins, with Jaleel McLaughlin slotting in as the No. 3 backfield option. The Browns will stay on the road for a Week 2 tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense gave up 106 rushing yards and one touchdown on 27 carries (3.9 YPC) in a 33-27 loss to the Bengals in Week 1.

The Chiefs placed McDonald (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.

McDonald will now be forced to miss at least four games after sustaining a knee injury during Monday's win over the Broncos. Ashton Gillotte, R Mason Thomas and Jack Pyburn should be in line for increased playing time in McDonald's absence.

Williams (Achilles) was estimated to be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Williams was limited at practice all last week before sitting out Sunday's win against the Chargers. Until he's able to practice in full, he may continue to have to miss game action.

Emmanwori (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports

Emmanwori was unable to overcome his ankle injury and suit up for last Wednesday's 13-10 victory over the Patriots. The slot cornerback is one of the most important parts of coach Mike Macdonald's Seattle defense, meaning a potential return for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cardinals would be significant. Emmanwori will need to upgrade to full practice participation to dodge an injury designation ahead of the game.

Taylor-Demerson (ribs) was estimated to be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Taylor-Demerson missed Sunday's win against the Chargers due to a rib injury, but he's making progress toward potentially playing in Week 2. He'll still probably have to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Kupp was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Kupp may have tweaked his back during the Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots in Week 1, when he played 39 of 50 snaps on offense (78.0 percent) and finished with two catches on three targets for 35 yards. Kupp's status for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Cardinals doesn't appear to be in serious jeopardy, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 2. The Seahawks' pass catchers figure to see a downtick in production with Drew Lock starting at quarterback for the injured Sam Darnold (lower body).

Horton (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports

Horton was unable to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered during training camp in time for last Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots. The wide receiver was a full participant in the first practice of Week 2 and should be all set to suit up for next Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Sanders (knee/illness) is questionable for Buffalo's game against Detroit on Thursday.

Sanders is still battling the illness and knee injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 1 win over the Texans. If he ends up being good to go on Thursday, the 23-year-old will be in line to serve as one of the Bills' starting defensive linemen for the matchup versus the Lions.
