Armstead (back) isn't on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday.

Armstead appears to be past the back issue that kept him from taking part in any preseason contests. The veteran defensive lineman played in all 17 regular-season games with Jacksonville last year and is slated for a prominent role again in 2025.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.

Jones appeared on Wednesday's initial injury report ahead of Week 1, dealing with an apparent hamstring injury. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice in a full capacity prior to Sunday's regular-season opener against the Giants.

Berrios did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It's unclear when Berrios sustained the injury, but it was severe enough for him to miss Wednesday's practice. He'll have two more days to return to practice and fade an injury tag heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Rams in Los Angeles. Berrios signed a one-year deal with the Texans in March and is slated to see most of his playing time on special teams as a returner.

Kirk was held out of practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Houston acquired Kirk from the Jaguars in early March for a 2026 seventh-round pick, after which he and the Texans reworked his contract by the end of that month. He seemingly locked up the No. 2 WR role behind Nico Collins by mid-August, but a new health concern now may threaten his availability for Week 1 and beyond. Getting back on the practice field Thursday and/or Friday will be key for Kirk's potential to play Sunday at the Rams, but if he's limited or out this weekend, rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel would be in line for more targets from QB C.J. Stroud.

Armstrong (knee) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.

Armstrong popped up on the injury report with an apparent knee injury after Wednesday's first practice of the week. The defensive end will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Giants.

Williams (undisclosed) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report.

Now that he's cleared for Week 1 action, Williams should settle into a role in the Patriots offense out of the gate this season, but it may take some time before the 2025 third-rounder sees steady volume in a wideout corps that also includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Efton Chism. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN, to kick off the 2025 campaign, Diggs projects as a starter alongside Boutte, with Douglas in the slot and Hollins next on the depth chart, followed by Williams.

Hill (foot) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hill was dealing with a foot injury throughout training camp and the preseason, but he is now all set to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against Cleveland. The 30-year-old is expected to operate as one of the team's starters at defensive tackle to open the 2025 campaign.

Campbell (undisclosed) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Campbell was limited to individual drills over the last two weeks of training camp due to an undisclosed injury that he suffered in the Jaguars' preseason opener against the Steelers. The 2021 second-rounder appears to be past the issue and should play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Panthers, when he's expected to start alongside Jarrian Jones and Jourdan Lewis at corner.

Horton (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Taken in the fifth round of the 2025 Draft, Horton was working with Seattle's first-team offense early in training camp before tweaking his ankle in preseason Week 2. Despite missing practice until Wednesday's uncapped session, he won the No. 3 WR job when Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released during roster cuts, but Horton likely will be a distant third in terms of targets at the position with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp ahead of him on the depth chart.

Turner (undisclosed) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Turner was sidelined for a portion of training camp with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be all set to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Browns. The 24-year-old is expected to operate as one of the team's starting cornerbacks to open the 2025 campaign.
