Jackson (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson, who hasn't played since Week 4, was able to practice in a limited fashion last week, so his upgrade to full participation Wednesday is a significant development ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Assuming he's able to maintain that level activity Thursday and Friday, Jackson has a chance to approach Week 8 action minus an injury designation.

Moore (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

An AC joint sprain in his shoulder kept Moore from playing in Buffalo's past two games, but the wideout may be in a better spot on the health front coming out of a Week 7 bye. Per Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard, Moore was sporting a no-contact jersey during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, so he may need to take contact at some point in the next day or two in order for the Bills to clear him to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Bowers (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.

Bowers was listed with both hamstring and calf issues on the Raiders' Week 7 injury report, but he appears to have at least put the former injury behind him heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Jets. As long as he's able to make it through the Raiders' next two practices without incident, Bowers will likely head into the weekend without an injury designation.

The Eagles signed Blue from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Yet another Eagles RB landed on IR on Wednesday, with Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) joining Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot). Blue thus was called up as a reinforcement and could be in line for a decent amount of work right away with Saquon Barkley (back) dealing with another health concern. Blue hasn't played in 2026 but turned 38 carries into 129 yards and one touchdown to go with one catch (on one target) for five yards in five appearances as a rookie fifth-rounder for the Cowboys last season.

The Eagles placed Pierce (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday

Pierce thus is joining fellow RBs Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on IR, leaving Saquon Barkley and Jaydon Blue as the only players at the position on the Eagles' active roster. Pierce made a late exit from Monday's loss to the Cowboys, which followed Barkley's own earlier departure due to a back issue. Pierce's health concern is enough for him to miss at least four contests, meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 6, in Arizona.

The Texans placed Noel on injured reserve Wednesday.

Noel is dealing with a case of turf toe following this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Giants and will now be sidelined for at least the next four games after landing on IR. The second-year player had been one of the Texans' more productive wideouts on a per-play basis this season, notching 19 receptions for 331 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets over just 200 total snaps. With Noel out through Week 12, more opportunities in the passing game could open up for Marvin Harrison, Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte.

Rice (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday

Wednesday marked Rice's first practice since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win against the Raiders. He was limited this time, so it's unclear if he'll be able to ramp up to full practices by the end of the week. Rice's progress through the remainder of the week will be an indicator of his status going into Week 8 against the Broncos. Even if he's not quite ready Sunday, a return to action looks to be on the horizon.

Ferguson (ankle) won't return to practice this week, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

Coach Sean McVay revealed that Ferguson's practice window to return from injured reserve won't open during Week 8 prep. Ferguson has missed the minimum four games while on IR due to an ankle sprain, and for as long as he's sidelined, the Rams will continue to roll with Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen at tight end.

Head coach Mike LaFleur said Love (ankle) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

This doesn't come as a surprise, as LaFleur told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Monday that Love was slated to practice Wednesday. Now that Love's activity level is known, he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas. Love has missed the last two games due to a lingering ankle injury, which has allowed Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight to split the backfield reps during that span.

Waddle (chest) was present for Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The extent of Waddle's participation has yet to be revealed, but it's encouraging that he was with the team for Wednesday's session. Waddle is dealing with a chest injury that had him reported as uncertain to play this week as of early Wednesday. Things seem to be trending in the right direction, but Friday's injury report will give the firm answer on Waddle's status going into the big game against the Chiefs.
