Egbuka (concussion/foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Head coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the team's official site earlier Wednesday that Egbuka participated in individual drills at practice, but the wide receiver will need to increase his activity level Thursday to progress toward a return to action. Egbuka already has missed one game due to a concussion and a foot injury, and he requires clearance from an independent neurologist to have a chance to play again.

Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Though Chase was absent to kick off Week 8 prep, Jay Morrison of SI.com notes that the star wideout was presumably held out for maintenance-related reasons rather than out of concern about his ankle. As long as Chase is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he should be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Meyers (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Meyers had previously made appearances on Jaguars injury reports earlier in the season due to a thumb issue, but he's nursing a different health concern coming out of the team's Week 7 bye. Unless the hamstring injury was something that cropped up during Wednesday's practice, Meyers' ability to begin Week 8 prep on the field in some capacity is generally a good sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Colts.

Spears (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

After he sat out last week's loss to the Browns, Spears' absence to kick off Week 8 prep doesn't inspire much early confidence in his chances of playing this weekend against the Bengals. Tony Pollard took on a workhorse role while Spears was sidelined in Week 7 and could be ticketed for another sizable workload if Spears needs to miss another game.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was on a stationary bike during warmups but wasn't on the field during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, Adam Jahns of AllCHGO.com reports.

Monangai has missed the last three games due to a turf toe injury, and until he's able to mix into drills in some capacity, he likely isn't a candidate to return to action. Thursday's injury report will reveal his activity level to begin Week 8 prep, but if he doesn't practice, he'll have two more chances to do so ahead of Monday's game at Seattle.

Ridley (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Ridley sat out the Titans' final two practices of Week 7 before sitting out an eventual 27-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday, but he was able to take a step forward in terms of activity for the start of Week 8 prep. If the veteran receiver is able to upgrade to full participation Thursday and/or Friday, he should be in line to suit up this weekend versus the Bengals. Before sitting out against the Browns, Ridley had put together a 5-81-0 receiving line on 10 targets through the Titans' first six games.

Warren (groin) returned to practice as a limited participant Wednesday.

This is a good sign for Warren, who has missed the last two games and did not practice at all leading up to Week 7. The Colts kept him limited in his return Wednesday, but he could ramp up as the week progresses. Indianapolis takes on Jacksonville in Week 8.

Robinson (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Robinson now hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, when he was limited, due to a hamstring injury. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday at Tampa Bay. If Robinson is inhibited or sidelined again this weekend, Khalil Herbert will serve as Atlanta's No. 2 RB behind top option Bijan Robinson.

Ridley (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley was inactive for this past Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing Thursday or Friday, but the wideout's presence for Wednesday's session offers hope that he may be available this weekend against the Bengals. The Titans' upcoming practice report will reveal Ridley's official participation level in his return to the practice field.

Wilson said Wednesday that he won't ask to be traded from the Jets, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Trade talks are heating up across the league and teams in the Jets' position are being looked at as potential sellers at the deadline. Wilson, who has been a Jet since 2022, will not seek a trade from the club, however. The fifth-year wideout is off to a strong start this season, drawing a 25.8 percent target share and averaging 1.98 yards per route run.
