Richardson (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

It's a new injury for Richardson, leaving his status for Week 2 against the Chiefs uncertain. If Richardson can't dress, Riley Leonard would serve as the Colts' QB2 behind Daniel Jones.

Tucker (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Tucker was inactive for Bucs' Week 1 loss to the Bengals last Sunday, allowing Bucky Irving to handle clear RB1 duties ahead of Kenny Gainwell. Irving contributed a touchdown, which should help give him a leg up on Tucker in the scoring area after Tucker siphoned some of those looks last season.

Parrish (back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Parrish sustained a back sprain during Sunday's loss at Cincinnati, but his presence at practice Wednesday signals it's not anything too severe. He could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend by managing a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Ponds (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Ponds strung together three consecutive limited practices during Week 1 prep, but he was not cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Titans this past Sunday. Ponds may remain sidelined for the Jets' Week 2 clash against the Packers this Sunday unless he's able to log a full practice over the next two days.

Rush split first-team reps with Michael Penix (knee) at Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Rush struggled his way to 143 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions in last Sunday's loss to the Steelers, completing just 12 of 22 passes in the process. Physically, he said he feels good after dealing with a minor back issue last week. "I think it's been a lot better since Sunday," Rush said. Penix practiced fully Wednesday and could draw the Week 2 nod against Carolina.

Fitzpatrick (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Fitzpatrick left Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans due to a groin injury. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz on Tuesday, the veteran safety is expected to miss two to three weeks, so he's unlikely to play against the Packers on Sunday unless he manages to practice in at least a limited capacity this week. Andre Cisco figures to start alongside Dane Belton at safety for as long as Fitzpatrick is sidelined.

Van Ness (concussion) was limited at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Van Ness recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the team's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but he appears to have suffered a concussion at some point in the contest. The 25-year-old's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign, but he will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday on the road versus the Jets.

Davis (neck) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Davis missed just one defensive snap of the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks last Wednesday, playing the other 49 and logging three tackles (two solo). The cornerback is dealing with a neck injury, and if he cannot upgrade to at least limited practice participation by Thursday, he will likely miss next Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Sherwood was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Sherwood may have tweaked his knee during the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans in Week 1, when he played 45 defensive snaps and finished with four tackles (two solo). The sixth-year pro will have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's home game against the Packers.

Cisse (cramps) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Cisse was dealing with cramps during the team's 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but he now appears to be back to full health. The 21-year-old will likely operate in his starting role at cornerback opposite of Keisean Nixon on Sunday against the Jets.
