Mingo (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Mingo was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He sprained his PCL during the preseason. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) injured, Mingo is missing out on a chance to see some playing time on offense.

Davis (knee) is not present at the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Davis sustained a knee injury Week 3 versus the Broncos and was held out of the Chargers' loss to the Giants in Week 4 as a result. For any chance of retaking the field Sunday versus the Commanders, Davis will need to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity Thursday and/or Friday. He hasn't yet been targeted this season but has carried the ball twice for five yards and contributed in the return game.

Young (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Young has yet to play this season, and it's curious as to why the Saints haven't placed Young on injured reserve at this point. Getting ruled out this early in the week would suggest Young isn't particularly close to a return. Chris Rumph will continue to see increased playing time on the Saints' defensive line.

Chaisson (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Chaisson played through his knee injury Week 4 against the Panthers, though he handled a season-low 49 percent of defensive snaps. The standout pass-rusher nonetheless managed to record two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, bringing his totals to nine tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, across four regular-season appearances this year. Chaisson logged a DNP-LP-FP practice slate before suiting up versus Carolina, and he'll attempt to gain clearance for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills via a similar practice pattern.

Jones (Achilles) was estimated as a DNP Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

The Bengals held a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so Jones' lack of participation is an estimate. It's a new injury for Jones, who has played in all four games this season. He's seen just four snaps on offense for the Bengals, but Jones handles return duties for Cincinnati.

Arnold (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Arnold was injured in last Sunday's win over the Browns, but he avoided a major injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday. With D.J. Reed (hamstring) sent to injured reserve Wednesday, the Lions need Arnold to turn up his game in the coming weeks. He'll do battle with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in Week 5.

Hawkins (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Hawkins played just 57 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 after essentially being an every-down starter the first three weeks of the regular season. It appears that change in workload was due to injury, making Hawkins' status unclear for Sunday's road divisional matchup against the Bills. He'll likely need to get back on the practice field Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance at playing Week 5.

Collins (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Collins was also limited by a listed knee issue last Wednesday before practicing fully both Thursday and Friday and approaching Week 4 action without an injury designation. With no reported setbacks in this past Sunday's 26-0 win over the Titans -- a game in which Collins handled an 86 percent snap share and caught four of his six targets for 79 yards -- there's a decent chance he'll follow the same pattern ahead of this weekend's contest against the Ravens.

Joseph (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Joseph dealt with the knee issue in practice last week but played last Sunday against the Browns. However, he aggravated the injury against Cleveland but was able to return to the game. It's unclear if he experienced a setback. Joseph's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will provide more information.

McNeill (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

The Lions officially opened McNeill's 21-day practice window Wednesday, and it's no surprise for him to be limited in his first on-field activity since suffering a right ACL tear Week 15 of the 2024 season. Once fully healthy, McNeill is expected to join DJ Reader as a starter along the interior of Detroit's offensive line. It's unclear whether he could have a chance to be activated to the 53-man roster in time to play Sunday versus Cincinnati.
