Moore (shoulder) "felt great" after getting in a limited practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Moore did not take contact Wednesday and officially did not get in a full session, but he was optimistic about his status when asked about it afterward. While Moore is taking the positive path and there is reason to believe he will suit up Sunday against the Chargers, it remains to be seen if he will do so.

The Cardinals placed Johnson (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Johnson suffered a neck injury in the 31-7 loss to the Seahawks in Week 2. He was placed on injured reserve, so he is guaranteed to miss at least four games. However, the 23-year-old isn't expected to play again this season. If that's the case, he will finish the year with eight total tackles (three solo), one fumble recovery and one pass defended. Without Johnson, Garrett Williams (Achilles), who has yet to play this season, could take on a larger role upon his return. Max Melton (toe), Kei'Trel Clark and Starling Thomas, the latter who was promoted from the practice squad, may also be more involved.

Ferguson was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Ferguson earned a 51 percent snap share during a Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, but didn't haul in his only target. With Puka Nacua (groin) inactive Monday versus the Giants, Ferguson played second fiddle to WR Davante Adams (8-195-2 on 10 targets), hauling in six of nine targets for 54 yards and one touchdown. Nacua remained sidelined Wednesday, and if he requires more time to recover, Ferguson could be among QB Matthew Stafford's favored pass catchers this Sunday at Denver, assuming the tight end's own ankle issue doesn't impact his availability.

Cross (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

It's unknown what kind of issue Cross is dealing with or if it will result in a stint on injured reserve. For now, he will at least be unavailable versus Seattle in Week 3. Without Cross on the field, Quan Martin could be in line for more snaps.

Coleman (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Earlier Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Coleman was tending to an ankle sprain, which added insult to injury to a banged-up Denver backfield. In addition to Coleman, J.K. Dobbins (hip) and RJ Harvey (hamstring, inactive Week 2) were limited at Wednesday's session, leaving plenty of murkiness at the position ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Rams. Coleman likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to suit up Week 3.

Harvey (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Harvey sat out this past Sunday's win versus the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, but going back to last week, he's now logged three straight 'limited' listings on Denver's practice reports. Meanwhile, J.K. Dobbins (hip) also was limited Wednesday, while Jonah Coleman sat out due to a sprained ankle. Considering the team's top three running backs currently are banged-up, the situation will continue to be monitored to get a sense of who among the three may be available Sunday against the Rams.

Smith (knee) underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith suffered a knee injury during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He will finish the 2026 campaign without a catch (one target), adding four carries for 13 yards. With Smith, Omar Cooper (ankle) and Tim Patrick (groin) out of the equation, Isaiah Williams could be in line for more opportunities behind Adonai Mitchell and Garrett Wilson. The Jets also signed Malik McClain off the practice squad Tuesday, which will help fill some of the void left by the injuries within the receiving corps.

Dobbins (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

As for the other injured Broncos running backs, RJ Harvey (hamstring) also was a limited participant, while Jonah Coleman didn't practice due to a sprained ankle. Dobbins himself suffered what was termed a hamstring injury during the team's Week 2 win against the Jaguars, but it was reclassified as a hip issue on Denver's first Week 3 practice report. He'll now have two more practices to prove his health ahead of the weekend.

Bowers (knee) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Bowers did not get a full session in Wednesday, but his participation alone bodes well for his chances of making his season debut Sunday against the Saints. Further updates on Bowers are still to come before the Raiders potentially assign him an injury designation for Week 3.

Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Onyemata was injured during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, and while that means he will miss at least four games, he is anticipated to be out longer, though head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back before the end of the season. While Onyemata is out of commission, Darrell Jackson, Jowon Briggs, T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips will presumably see more snaps in each game moving ahead.
