Adkins (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Adkins has been held back to some extent since he underwent a tightrope procedure to address a sprained ankle back in July, but it now appears he's finally back to full strength and ready to make his 2025 debut. If starting tight end Evan Engram (back) is unable to play Sunday against the Chargers, Adkins could be in line for an expanded role.

Smith (illness) was a limited participant at the Vikings' practice Wednesday.

Smith has been sidelined for the first two weeks of the season while dealing with an illness. The safety has now recorded a handful of limited practice sessions in a row, dating back to last week, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

McKee (thumb) was limited in practice Wednesday.

McKee was limited in practice last week but was inactive as the Eagles' QB3 behind Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell in last Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Once healthy, McKee has a chance to usurp Howell for QB2 duties.

Shipley (oblique) did not practice Wednesday.

Shipley was injured in the Week 1 opener against the Cowboys 13 days ago and has yet to return to practice. His role once healthy is unclear after the Eagles traded for Tank Bigsby last week.

The Seahawks signed White off the practice squad Wednesday.

With Tory Horton dealing with a groin issue that limited him in Wednesday's practice, White finds a spot on the 53-man roster with Seattle. The 26-year-old White has appeared in 21 career regular-season games and has secured eight of 10 targets for 79 scoreless yards. He'll provide wideout depth for the Seahawks.

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

Oliver was able to play through an ankle injury in the team's 22-6 Week 2 loss to the Falcons, so his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday seems to suggest he'll be good to go for Week 3. The tight end will have two more chances to be a full participant at practice before Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

The Saints placed Broughton (hip) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Broughton was injured in last Sunday's loss to the 49ers and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Monday. The third-round rookie recorded three tackles on 24 defensive snaps against San Francisco prior to getting hurt.

Hobbs (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Hobbs was able to play in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday, recording one solo tackle, while playing 31 defensive snaps and four snaps on special teams. The cornerback had been sidelined since early August following a procedure on his knee. Hobbs will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns in Cleveland.

The Saints released Dekkers from the practice squad Wednesday.

Dekkers was signed and cut by New Orleans multiple times over the offseason and has already bounced on and off the practice squad three times since the start of Week 1.

Young (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Young has yet to play this season after suffering a calf injury in practice leading up to Week 1. Carl Granderson, Chris Rumph and Jonah Williams are in line to handle edge-rushing duties for the Saints if Young needs to miss another contest this coming Sunday versus Seattle.
