Verse (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, coach Todd Monken said Wednesday that he gave Verse the day off and expects him to play Sunday at Pittsburgh. With that said, his activity at practice Thursday and Friday might still be worth keeping an eye on.

Oliver (knee) returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Oliver missed both games of the team's west coast road trip prior to the Week 7 bye, and the Bills certainly felt it by giving up 64 points over those two games. His presence, should he be able to return for Week 8, would go a long way in trying to slow down a Ravens offense that expects to get Lamar Jackson back this week.

Kacmarek (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Kacmarek may have picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, when he logged 34 snaps (29 on offense, five on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. The rookie third-rounder will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity before Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Brents (neck/concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Brents reported concussion symptoms following the Dolphins' Week 7 win over the Jets, per Alain Poupart of SI.com. Brents will have two more opportunities to practice this week, but he would not be eligible to play against the Patriots on Sunday unless he's cleared from the league's concussion protocol by an independent neurologist.

Trotter (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Trotter is battling through an illness that prevented him from participating in the first practice of Week 8 prep. He'll have two more opportunities to return to the practice field and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Falcons. Through six regular-season games, Trotter has accumulated 62 total tackles, which is seventh-most in the NFL.

Davis (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Davis has finally returned to full participation after missing three consecutive games with a neck injury. The starting cornerback should be able to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins as long as he maintains full participation through Friday's practice session.

Allgeier (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Allgeier wasn't present for the media-access portion of Wednesday's session, and a toe injury was the reason for his absence. Fellow RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) returned to drills Wednesday as a limited participant, so question marks abound in the Cardinals backfield as the team kicks off Week 8 prep.

Gardner (calf) was estimated as a limited participant on the Colts' official injury report Wednesday.

Indianapolis held only a walk-through practice Wednesday, but the team gave indication Gardner may have made progress in his recovery from the calf issue that sidelined him in Week 7. He'll still likely have to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Ogletree (knee) was estimated as a limited participant on the Colts' official injury report Wednesday.

Ogletree presumably picked up the knee injury during Sunday's game at Minnesota, but his status indicates it's probably not too severe. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he could still avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Wilson (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Wilson was seen wearing a yellow non-contact jersey Wednesday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Afterward, Wilson told Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that he emerged from this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos with sore ribs, hence the reason for the jersey. Wilson will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Cardinals potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.
