Hinton (undisclosed) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

The rookie offensive lineman from Michigan now has 21 days to be added to the Eagles' active roster before reverting to IR. Once fully healthy, Hinton will likely operate as one of the team's top reserve tackles.

Sherfield signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday.

The veteran wideout from Vanderbilt was cut by the Broncos on Saturday, but he's already found a new home in Arizona. Sherfield appeared in all of Denver's first 10 games this season, catching three of four targets for 21 yards across 311 total snaps (164 on offense, 147 on special teams). He could be added to the Cardinals' active roster at some point this season, especially with Marvin Harrison (appendix) currently sidelined.

Coach Andy Reid noted that Worthy tweaked his ankle, which leaves the wideout's status for Wednesday's practice uncertain, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Worthy was on the team's Week 11 injury report after being limited by an ankle issue Thursday, but he practiced fully Friday and approached the team's loss to the Broncos on Sunday without an injury designation en route to recording a 76 percent snap share in the contest. Worthy has logged back-to-back three-catch efforts for a combined 48 yards over his last two outings.

Adebo (knee) will not practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Adebo has missed the Giants' last four games due to a sprained MCL, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing the Week 12 matchup against the Lions. The Stanford product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up Sunday. If Adebo is sidelined for the fifth consecutive game, expect Korie Black to have an expanded role in the Giants' secondary.

Thibodeaux (shoulder) will not practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

The 24-year-old missed the Giants' Week 11 loss to the Packers due to a shoulder injury, and his absence Wednesday suggest that he's still dealing with the issue. Thibodeaux likely needs to log at least a limited practice session Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at playing in the Week 12 matchup against the Lions. If he's inactive for the second consecutive game, Abdul Carter will likely draw another start at outside linebacker.

Pacheco (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Pacheco last saw game action in Week 8, but the running back's looming return to practice has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Colts approaches. The Chiefs' upcoming practice report will clarify Pacheco's official participation level Wednesday after he missed six consecutive sessions dating back to Week 9.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Godwin (fibula) is "ramping up" his activity at practice in order to have his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Rams evaluated, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Bowles said the same of second-year running back Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), who like Godwin returned to practice as a limited participant in Week 11 but was ruled out for Tampa Bay's loss to the Bills. Godwin hasn't played since Week 5 due to a fibula injury. If he's able to retake the field in time to suit up on the road during Sunday Night Football, Godwin will figure to join rookie Emeka Egbuka as one of the clear top targets for quarterback Baker Mayfield. In the event that Godwin is cleared to play but needs time to ramp up his snap count, however, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard will continue to handle expanded roles.

Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Wednesday that Thomas will be cleared from concussion protocol, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

It's unclear whether Thomas has already cleared protocol following Glenn's comments Wednesday, but it appears as if he'll return for the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens on Sunday. The rookie corner from Florida State has recorded 12 total tackles and four passes defensed across just nine appearances this season. He's likely to have a larger role on the Jets' defense with Sauce Gardner being dealt to the Colts in early November.

Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed that Gray (knee) will be designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

The third-year pro from Oklahoma has missed all 11 of the Giants' games this season after tearing his MCL in the spring, but it now appears that he's nearing a return. Gray now has 21 days to be added to New York's active roster before reverting to the reserve/PUP list. Once fully healthy, he could see touches in a crowded Giants' backfield, especially with Cam Skattebo (ankle) sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Irving (shoulder/foot) is "ramping up" his reps at practice to test his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Irving managed to return to practice as a limited participant in Week 11, so it's possible he'll upgrade to 'full' reps ahead of Sunday's road matchup. As Smith notes, the extent of Irving's on-field activity Thursday and Friday will be most telling. The second-year pro hasn't played since Week 4 due to a shoulder subluxation and also a sprained left foot, and it remains possible that he's eased in upon being cleared to return to the lineup. Rachaad White had led Tampa Bay's backfield during the majority of Irving's time on the sideline, though in Week 11 it was Sean Tucker who broke out with 140 yards from scrimmage and three total TDs.
