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.

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.

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.

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.

Nwangwu (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Nwangwu likely picked up his back issue during the six special-teams snaps he played in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Patriots. It remains unclear how significant the running back's injury is and whether he will be able to suit up for Week 7 against the Dolphins.

Melton (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Melton may have tweaked his back during the Packers' Week 6 win against the Cowboys, when he played 34 snaps (18 on offense, 16 on special teams) and drew a 37-yard pass interference penalty late in the second quarter before adding a tackle on kickoff coverage. He'll have two more practices to increase his participation to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Ogletree (ankle) did not participate at the Colts' practice Wednesday.

Ogletree appears to have picked up an ankle injury during the team's 26-20 loss to the Titans in Week 6. The tight end will have two more opportunities to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

McCollum (illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

It's not clear at this point what kind of sickness McCollum is dealing with, but there's still a good amount of time for him to get right ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Winfield (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Winfield has been out for the Buccaneers' last two games because of a rib injury he sustained back in Week 4 versus the Packers, but he was able to get back on the practice field for the first time since then Wednesday. He'll still probably need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

The Lions listed Branch as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

The Lions did not practice for their first session following the Week 6 bye, but it's a promising sign to see Branch listed as a full participant. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a torn Achilles that he suffered in December of 2025, and he could be activated from the Lions' reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Packers.
