Jones didn't participate in Indianapolis' practice Wednesday.

Jones is still dealing with the hamstring injury that he suffered during the first half of last week's victory over the Dolphins. If he ends up being able to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, the 23-year-old would likely see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Edwards (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Edwards missed the team's regular-season opener against the Vikings on Monday while nursing a hamstring injury. The linebacker will look to increase his participation at the Bears' two remaining practices prior to Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Head coach Ben Johnson said Wednesday that he's optimistic that Edwards will be able to play in Week 2, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, but time will tell.

Nwosu (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Nwosu spent the offseason recovering from knee surgery in March. He was unable to play in the preseason and was ruled out for Week 1 against the 49ers, but his ability to log a full practice Wednesday indicates that he is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. Nwosu was limited to just six regular-season games in 2024 due to multiple lower-body injuries and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defense.

Allen (knee) was a limited participant in the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

Allen is one of two of the team's tight ends to be dealing with an injury, as Colby Parkinson sat out practice due to a sprained AC joint. Allen caught one of his two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown during the team's Week 1 win over the Texans, and it remains to be seen if he'll be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Titans.

Reed was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Reed may have picked up the injury during the Seahawks' 17-13 loss to the 49ers this past Sunday, when he played 43 snaps (38 on defense, five on special teams) and logged five tackles (two solo) and two quarterback hits. He doesn't appear to be in great jeopardy of missing Seattle's Week 2 contest against Pittsburgh this Sunday, but his practice participation over the next two days will determine whether he enters the weekend with an injury tag.

Gross-Matos (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Gross-Matos played 16 defensive snaps and failed to record any stats in the team's 17-13 win over the Seahawks in Week 1. The defensive end missed practice last Wednesday and Friday, while logging a limited session Thursday before playing against Seattle. He'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Ekwonu (appendectomy) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Per Gantt, coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Ekwonu was asking for more work, a positive sign as he continues to recover from an appendectomy he underwent prior to Week 1. If he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday, he might avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Love was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Love led the Seahawks with 10 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, in their Week 1 loss to the 49ers this past Sunday. He appears to have picked up a groin injury during the contest, and his practice participation over the next two days will determine his status heading into Seattle's Week 2 contest against the Steelers on Sunday. Love has logged 100-plus tackles in each of the past three seasons.

Parkinson (shoulder) didn't participate in the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

Parkinson was sidelined due to the sprained AC joint he suffered during the team's Week 1 win over the Texans. While the 26-year-old tight end will look to be good to go for Sunday's game versus Titans if he ends up being unable to play, Davis Allen (knee) and Terrance Ferguson would be in line for increased playing time.

Banks (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Banks did not participate at practice at all during the week after picking up an ankle issue in Week 1, which suggests he might be closer to the "doubtful" end of the questionable tag. If he can't suit up in Week 2, 2024 first-rounder Jordan Morgan could end up getting the start at left guard.
