Higgins (groin/neck) did not practice Wednesday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

It was reported earlier Wednesday that Higgins would be limited in that session, but Higgins was ultimately held out completely. Fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) also did not practice, while Colbie Young returned in limited fashion. Higgins' status will be under the microscope as the week progresses.

Skattebo was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Skattebo has yet to hit 100 rushing yards in a game this season and currently is sitting on 302 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 76 touches through four contests. As the Giants kick off prep for a Week 5 road matchup with the Commanders, he's dealing with a health concern and likely will need to practice fully Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of the weekend.

Sinnott (ribs) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

With Chig Okonkwo back from his hamstring injury last Sunday against the Colts, Sinnott logged just 24 of 64 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the passing game. Lightyears from fantasy relevance, Sinnott has one catch for six yards across four appearances this season.

Kamara (back) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran was not at practice Wednesday after picking up a back injury during the Monday Night Football loss to the Falcons. Kamara has a couple more days to get back on the practice field before his status for Week 5 comes into question, but the back issue will be one to monitor. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) already out, Kendre Miller or CJ Donaldson may be more involved if Kamara is unable to go Sunday against the Vikings.

Okonkwo (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

In two games this season, Okonkwo has four catches for 21 yards on seven targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end until he shows more upside or a stable floor in the box score.

Nabers didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

After Wednesday's session, Nabers relayed to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv that he did "as much as I could," and now the nature of that discomfort has been revealed. It's a bit concerning that Nabers went down as a DNP with a knee issue to begin Week 5 prep, especially since he's a year removed from tearing his right ACL. He also told Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com that his shoulder is "a little sore," but the team didn't list that as the reason for his absence. In any case, Nabers' status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at Washington.

Olave had a rest day at Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

The Saints had a walkthrough Wednesday after having played Monday night against the Falcons. Olave was given a rest day, and according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, it was unrelated to a hard shot he took during the loss to the Falcons. Olave does not appear to be dealing with an injury, and should return to practice later in the week.

Diggs was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Diggs wasn't spotted on the field during the portion of Wednesday's session open to the media, and now the reason for his absence is known. Both he and fellow WR Terry McLaurin weren't able to mix into drills to begin Week 5 prep due to hamstring issues, leaving massive question marks for the state of the Commanders' passing game ahead of Sunday's contest against the Giants. Practice reports Thursday and Friday ultimately will be telling for the statuses of McLaurin and Diggs.

White (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of FoxSports.com reports.

After missing Week 4 with a shoulder injury, White is trending in the right direction. He wasn't a full-go Wednesday but was able to practice in a limited fashion. His status becomes all the more important now that Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) was limited to begin the week.

Pittman (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Pittman sat out the Steelers' Week 2 loss to the Patriots due to a foot issue, but he proceeded to suit up for the team's subsequent two games, playing north of 70 percent of snaps in both contests while producing a combined 4-31-0 receiving line on nine targets. The Steelers haven't indicated that Pittman is dealing with any major setback coming out of this past Thursday's loss to the Browns, even though he was spotted moving around the locker room Wednesday with a one-legged scooter and no shoe on his left foot, per Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. Pittman's ability to practice in some fashion to kick off Week 5 prep suggests that he remains likely to play this Sunday against the Colts.
