London didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

After being held out of the end zone through the first three games of the season, London has responded with TDs in four of his last five appearances on his way to a 37-532-6 line on 58 targets during that span. He's now dealing with an illness at the start of Week 11 prep, but he at least has two more practices this week to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Moore secured both of his targets for nine yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Moore continues to handle a depth gig in Buffalo's pass-catching corps, and he figures to reprise a similar role at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Across three regular-season appearances since the Bills' bye, Moore has tallied four grabs for 51 yards on seven targets.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (toe) will be a limited but "aggressive" participant at Wednesday's practice with the intention to start Sunday's game at Arizona, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

On the heels of Purdy's eighth absence of the season this past Sunday against the Rams, Shanahan told David Lombardi of SFStandard.com on Monday that the 49ers "want three aggressive practices, and we want to hear from him and make sure he feels good after them, too." Wednesday's development indicates that Purdy isn't completely past the turf toe injury that has bothered him since Week 1, but he's at least putting himself in a position for his first game action since Week 4. Mac Jones has been filling for Purdy during his extended absence.

Kmet (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Kmet cleared the concussion protocol in time to suit up for Chicago's comeback win over the Giants in Week 10, but he appears to have sustained a back injury during that contest. If the veteran tight end is able to resume handling full reps Thursday and/or Friday, he'll have a solid chance to avoid carrying an injury designation entirely for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. Kmet has drawn two or fewer targets in four consecutive appearances, with most routes for the tight end position instead going the way of rookie Colston Loveland.

Gadsden (quadriceps) is slated to practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Gadsden was forced out of Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers in the third quarter after logging 38 snaps in the contest. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the tight end is viewed as day-to-day with a quad bruise, but Gadsden's looming participation in practice Wednesday -- in any capacity -- is a positive sign ahead of this weekend's game against the Jaguars.

Godwin (fibula) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

According to Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Godwin wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's session, but his activity level implies he was able to get in some on-field reps for the first time since coming out of a Week 5 win against the Seahawks with a fibula injury. Coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times on Monday that he didn't expect Godwin to be available Sunday at Buffalo, so the veteran wide receiver may be merely increasing his activity level with the aim to return Week 12 or beyond.

Odunze (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Odunze has regularly had his reps managed by Chicago to begin practice weeks, so as long as he's able to resume handling at least limited activity during Thursday's session, it will bode well for his odds of gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. The second-year pro bounced back with six grabs for 86 yards and a touchdown (on 10 targets) during the Bears' win over the Giants in Week 10, proving that he retains a valuable fantasy ceiling despite the unpredictable nature of Chicago's passing attack. He had previously been held without a catch Week 9.

Irving (foot/shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Irving has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a shoulder subluxation and also a sprained left foot. Coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site on Monday that the shoulder issue is the one that's kept Irving out of game action to this point, but at the same time Bowles added that he didn't expect Irving to be available Sunday in Buffalo, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. As such, Irving may be ramping up his activity level with the aim to return Week 12 or beyond. For as long as Irving is sidelined, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will continue to pace Tampa Bay's backfield.

Samuel secured his only target for 21 yards during Buffalo's loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

Samuel has now logged a total of five catches (on six targets) for 62 yards and one touchdown across five regular-season appearances. He figures to continue contributing as a depth option within the Bills' wide receiver corps at home against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Aside from the deepest of formats, Samuel can safely be left off the fantasy radar as managers make lineup decision for Week 11.

Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Moore briefly exited this past Sunday's win against the Giants due to a shoulder issue but was able to return early in the third quarter. He proceeded to finish with no catches on four targets, his first time getting blanked in the box score since the Panthers made him a first-round pick in the 2018 Draft. Moore will have two more chances to practice this week before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Week 11 action on Friday's injury report.
