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

A foot injury has prevented Bland from playing in the Cowboys' last two games, but Todd Archer of ESPN.com relayed Tuesday that the 2022 fifth-rounder is trending toward a Week 4 return against the Packers. Bland will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full practice participant heading into Sunday's tilt.

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

The rookie seventh-rounder likely picked up the injury during the Cowboys' 31-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Dallas' Week 4 home clash against Green Bay. Bridges' availability would be crucial for the Cowboys if Trevon Diggs (knee) is unable to play Sunday, as the former would likely start opposite Kaiir Elam at outside corner.

Vele (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Vele was unable to play in Week 3 due to a nagging hip issue, and now his status for Week 4 is up in the air. If he's able to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Diggs (shoulder/knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Diggs was limited to 39 defensive snaps after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He was unable to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more opportunities to participate in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday night's game against the Packers. Rookie seventh-rounder Trikweze Bridges (knee) would be -- if healthy -- the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Kaiir Elam if Diggs is not cleared to play.

Terrell (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Terrell suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota and didn't practice at all last week before missing this past Sunday's matchup versus Carolina. Coach Raheem Morris said last week that Terrell is considered "week-to-week," so he's iffy, at best, for this coming Sunday's game against Washington. If he's unable to play again, Dee Alford would likely get another start at cornerback.

Fulton (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Fulton did not practice last week before sitting out against the Giants with an ankle injury, but it now appears he could be on track to return to game action soon. He'll probably need to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Muhammad (knee) was considered a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Muhammad popped up on Wednesday's estimated injury report with an apparent knee injury, which he may have suffered in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens. The defensive lineman registered four total tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, in the contest, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

Danna (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Danna sat out practice all week last week before being sidelined in Week 3 with a quadriceps issue, but it now looks like he's making progress toward returning to game action. If he can log a full practice Thursday or Friday, he might be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Barnes (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Barnes was able to compile seven total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens, but he may have left the contest a little worse for wear. The linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Sunday's contest against the Browns.

The Saints placed Dekkers (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dekkers has bounced on and off the Saints' practice squad early this season. He'll now be ineligible to be elevated to the active roster for at least the next four games.
