Dotson (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Dotson suffered a sprained ankle in the team's 14-9 victory over the Texans in Week 1, and his status for Week 2 is now in doubt. If Dotson can't play Sunday against Tennessee, Beaux Limmer is the top candidate to draw the start at right guard.

Kelly was estimated as a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a toe issue.

Kelly logged all 56 of the Vikings' offensive snaps versus Chicago on Monday but hurt his toe in the process. His participation level (or lack thereof) throughout the rest of the week should provide more insight on whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Falcons. If Kelly can't play in that game, Michael Jurgens may be asked to start at center.

Avila (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Avila suffered a sprained ankle in the team's 14-9 win over the Texans in Week 1, and he has now opened the week of practice on the sidelines. The offensive guard will have two more chances to return to practice this week before Sunday's matchup with the Titans. If Avila does end up missing Week 2, Justin Dedich is the top candidate to start at left guard in his place.

Williams (hamstring) was deemed a full participant in a practice walkthrough Wednesday.

Williams didn't play Week 1 against the Bears on Monday due to a hamstring issue, but he seems to be clear of the injury. As such, he may be able to suit up Sunday versus Atlanta.

Dickerson (back) was a limited participant in the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Dickerson is still dealing with the back injury that he suffered during last week's win over the Cowboys. While he will look to be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs, Brett Toth will likely get the start at left guard should Dickerson end up being unable to play.

Havenstein (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Havenstein popped up on the injury report with an ankle injury to open the week. It's unclear what the severity of the injury is, and it's possible that he just received a day off, but his status at Thursday's practice will provide more clarity to his availability for Week 2 against Tennessee.

Higgins corralled one of two targets for three yards and had a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory in New Orleans.

Higgins was third among Cardinals tight ends in offensive snap share (30 percent) behind standout Trey McBride (97 percent) and Tip Reiman (52 percent). All three recorded receptions, with McBride making six and Reiman and Higgins notching one apiece. Reiman showed up as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a foot injury, which, if it limits or sidelines him, may afford Higgins a few more opportunities to produce.

Woods (groin) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Woods was unavailable for the team's 20-13 loss to the Raiders in Week 1 due to a groin injury but he now appears to be a full go ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. The cornerback could potentially even start in place of Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) versus Miami.

Darrisaw (knee) was estimated as a a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Darrisaw's estimated full participation isn't necessarily a guarantee he'll suit up Week 2; he was also listed as a full practice participant twice last week but was inactive for Monday's win over the Bears. With that said, head coach Kevin O'Connell indicated Wednesday that Darrisaw is ramping up, so the veteran offensive lineman seems to have a chance of playing Sunday against Atlanta. Darrisaw is working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered last October.

Fuaga (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Fuaga was forced out of New Orleans' season debut early after suffering a knee injury, and now it's threatening his status for Week 2. If he can't manage to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he probably won't have much chance of suiting up Sunday versus the 49ers.
