Bowman (Achilles) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bowman sat out Week 1, as he was still recovering from the Achilles tear he suffered in November of last year, but it looks like he should end up being available in Week 2. He figures to play a major role in Atlanta's secondary in 2026.

Oluokun (wrist) participated in a limited capacity during Wednesday's practice.

Oluokun likely suffered the wrist injury in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. The linebacker was dominant in the contest, recording four tackles (three solo) and an interception. Oluokun will need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to avoid an injury designation ahead of next Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Terrell (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell was able to return to Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh after hurting his shoulder while defending a pass, so Atlanta may just be exercising an abundance of caution. He could still avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend if he practices in full Thursday or Friday.

Luvu (groin) did not participate at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.

Luvu suffered a groin injury in the team's 24-22 loss to the Eagles in Week 1, and as result, he was unable to give it a go at Washington's first practice of the week. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to the practice field prior to Sunday's contest in Dallas.

Lane (groin) was a limited participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.

Lane is dealing with an apparent groin issue to open the week at practice, and as a result, he wasn't able to be a full participant Wednesday. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup on the road against the Cowboys.

Gray (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Gray suffered a concussion on Sept. 7 during a UTV accident and ended up sitting out the Titans' season-opening loss to the Jets. The linebacker appears to have made some positive strides in his recovery heading into Week 2, as his full participation in practice means that he's at least reached the fourth phase of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Gray can receive clearance from an independent neurologist in the coming days, he should be available to make his 2026 debut Sunday versus the Eagles.

Bishop (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions.

Bishop was listed as a limited practice participant on all three injury reports due to a groin injury, and his status for Thursday's game may not be officially known until about 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Damar Hamlin would likely draw the start at safety alongside C.J. Gardner-Johnson if Bishop is not cleared to play.

Milroe will be more involved in practice ahead of Sunday's game versus Arizona, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Sam Darnold (glute) won't suit up in Week 2, meaning Drew Lock will be the team's starting signal-caller. Milroe will occupy the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, so head coach Mike Macdonald wants to be sure he is ready to go in case Lock gets injured.

Collins is undergoing tests on a hamstring injury that limited him at Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Collins showed up out of the blue on the Texans' first Week 2 practice report, and the aforementioned testing will determine the severity of the injury. He previously missed five games during the 2024 season due to a hamstring issue, so Houston's decision to look into the current concern further is a prudent one. Collins' status will continue to be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his ability to play Sunday versus the Bengals.

Bernard (calf) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Lions.

Bernard was listed as a limited participant on all three injury reports during the Bills' short week, but the fifth-year pro has been cleared to play in Buffalo's home opener Thursday. He logged 12 tackles (six solo) and one fumble recovery during the Bills' 36-31 win over the Texans on Sunday.
