Sorrell (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Sorrell suffered a knee injury during the Packers' second preseason game at Indianapolis, and it's still bothering him wth the regular-season opener less than a week away. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Hobbs (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Hobbs underwent surgery a couple weeks into training camp to address a partially torn meniscus, and his availability for Week 1 is now in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday versus the Lions.

Wirfs (knee) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Wirfs is expected to miss the first few games of the season while he continues to recover from arthroscopic right knee surgery, so his absence Wednesday isn't a major surprise. Charlie Heck will likely draw the start at left tackle in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons.

Mullings (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Mullings had been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during the Titans' preseason finale against the Vikings. The rookie sixth-rounder's absence from Wednesday's injury report indicates that he is past the issue and primed to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sunday. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) on injured reserve, Mullings and Julius Chestnut are slated to handle complementary snaps out of the backfield behind starter Tony Pollard.

Bobo (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bobo entered the concussion protocol during the Seahawks' preseason finale at Green Bay when a teammate was blocked into him on a punt return, causing him to fumble. Coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune on Wednesday that Bobo still was in the protocol, but he was spotted fielding punts during Monday's unpadded practice. Considering he has a cap on his reps, Bobo likely has a few hurdles to get past in order to make himself available Sunday versus the 49ers.

Arnold (hamstring) was not listed on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Arnold did not play in any of the Lions' preseason games due to a hamstring injury. However, his absence from Wednesday's estimated report indicates he's fully recovered from the injury and is on track to play in Sunday's NFC North clash against the Packers at Lambeau Field. The 2024 first-rounder played a prominent role in the Lions' secondary during his rookie campaign, finishing with 60 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass defenses and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games.

Morrison (quadriceps) was a limited participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Morrison was able to return to practice Wednesday after missing the entirety of the preseason with a hamstring injury, but he is now dealing with an apparent quadriceps issue ahead of Week 1. The cornerback will have two more chances to log a full practice this week before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Falcons.

McKinney (calf) was not listed on Green Bay's injury report Wednesday.

McKinney missed all of training camp with a calf issue, but it looks like he's on track to suit up in Week 1. He figures to play a near-every down role at safety Sunday versus the Lions and beyond.

Tomlinson (knee) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Tomlinson missed some time during training camp due to a knee injury, but he was never expected to be in line for an extended absence. His absence from Wednesday's injury report suggests the defensive tackle will be ready to go Week 1 against New Orleans. Tomlinson is slated to start along the Cardinals' defensive line after spending that past two campaigns in Cleveland.

Vea (foot) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

Vea popped up on the injury report with an apparent foot injury Wednesday, ultimately sitting out the entirety of practice. The defensive tackle will have two more opportunities to return to practice before Sunday's regular-season opener against Atlanta.
