  • Justin Joly TE | MIA

    Dolphins' Justin Joly: Good to go for Week 7

    Joly (concussion) did not appear on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Joly was inactive for the team's Week 5 loss to the Bengals while recovering from a concussion, but he now appears to be back to full health after Miami's bye week. The tight end will be back in his depth role behind starter Greg Dulcich on Sunday against the Jets.

  • Jevon Holland SAF | NYG

    Giants' Jevon Holland: Recovering from concussion

    Holland (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Holland presumably suffered the concussion during Sunday's game versus the Saints, and now his status for Week 7 is up in the air. He'll need to clear league concussion protocol before being allowed to return to game action, and his activity at practice Thursday and Friday could offer some insight into any progress he makes as the week continues.

  • Nate Landman LB | LAR

    Rams' Nate Landman: Enters concussion protocol

    Landman (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Landman likely sustained his concussion in the Rams' Week 6 loss to the Cardinals. The linebacker has enterted the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will need to upgrade his practice participation with the approval of an independent neurologist before being cleared for game-day activities. If Landman cannot clear the league's protocol by Sunday's game against the Raiders, veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks could be called up to the active roster in his place.

  • Matthew Hibner TE | BAL

    Ravens' Matthew Hibner: Limited participant Wednesday

    Hibner (hand) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Hibner had not practiced since sustaining a hand injury in the Ravens' Week 5 overtime win over the Falcons. The tight end's upgrade to limited practice in Week 7 prep is a significant improvement and could signal a return to the field as soon as Sunday's game against the Bengals.

  • Colbie Young WR | CIN

    Bengals' Colbie Young: Past knee injury

    Young (knee) was not listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

    Young missed each of the Bengals' two games prior to the Week 6 bye due to a knee injury. The extra rest has paid dividends for the rookie fourth-rounder, who is on track to be available for Sunday's AFC North showdown against the Ravens. He's operated in a minimal role offensively this season, having logged only two catches on as many targets for nine yards across three games.

  • Michael Taaffe SAF | MIA

    Dolphins' Michael Taaffe: Healthy ahead of Week 7

    Taaffe (chest) did not appear on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Taaffe suffered a chest injury in Week 5 versus the Bengals, but he appears to be back to full health after the team's bye week. The 23-year-old is all set to operate in his role as a primary reserve option at safety Sunday against the Jets.

  • Giants' Tremaine Edmunds: Still dealing with shoulder issue

    Edmunds (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Edmunds hurt his shoulder on the final play of Sunday's game versus the Saints, and now his availability for Week 7 is in question. Any chance he has of suiting up at Houston will likely hinge on whether he's able to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday.

  • Tyler Badie RB | DEN

    Broncos' Tyler Badie: Absent from Wednesday's practice

    Badie (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Badie sustained a thumb injury during the first half of the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Seahawks this past Thursday and did not return to the contest. He's opened the week with a DNP, and he'll have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Cardinals.

  • Theo Johnson TE | NYG

    Giants' Theo Johnson: Back at practice Wednesday

    Johnson (neck) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Johnson was practicing in a limited capacity in the leadup to the Giants' matchup versus the Saints in Week 6, but he ultimately downgraded to missing practice later in the week before sitting out that contest. He'll likely have to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to dodge taking an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Packers' Brandon Cisse: Limited in Wednesday's walkthrough

    Cisse (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Cisse suffered a stinger during the Packers' Week 6 win over the Cowboys, but he expressed optimism Tuesday that he'll be available for this Sunday's road tilt against the Lions, per Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Cisse has now been tagged with a shoulder injury, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation to avoid an injury designation ahead of Week 7.
