Bell (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Bell will continue to be limited in practices until the Dolphins are willing to fully unleash him off last season's torn ACL. While he's had his reps managed during the week, Bell has been seeing extensive snaps on Sundays, especially since Caleb Douglas has been out with an ankle injury. Bell has reeled in just five of 14 targets this season for 92 yards.

Likely (knee/groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Likely is tending to a pair of health concerns as Week 5 prep begins, but he at least has two more chances to get back to full this week and avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Washington. Through four contests this season, he's been a key cog in the Giants' passing game, totaling 22 catches (on 35 targets) for 190 yards and two touchdowns.

Hall (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

Hall's continued absence from practice comes as little surprise after head coach Aaron Glenn said prior to Wednesday's session that the running back is week-to-week. With Hall looking likely to miss a second straight game Sunday versus the Browns, Braelon Allen should be in store for another turn as the Jets' lead back.

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.
