Winston (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Winston did not play in the Titans' Week 6 win over the Colts due to a quadriceps injury. The safety remains constrained by the injury and will need to upgrade to full participation by Friday's practice to head into Week 7 against the Browns without any injury designation.

Kansas City cut Carter from its practice squad Wednesday.

Carter landed on the Chiefs' practice squad in September after missing the cut for the Falcons' initial 53-man roster for 2026, but now he's set to become a free agent again. Over seven games with Atlanta in 2025, he took nine carries for 60 yards, but he also lost a fumble.

Waddle was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Waddle missed a brief spell in last Thursday's win against the Seahawks due to a shoulder injury, finishing Week 6 with four catches (on seven targets) for 24 yards. Almost one week later, he's tending to a chest issue, meaning his status will be watched closely as the weekend draws closer.

The Giants designated Adebo (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Adebo was placed on the Giants' injured reserve following the team's Week 1 win over the Cowboys due to a knee injury. He's been sidelined for the last five games, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. Adebo would need to be activated from IR by Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Ossai (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report.

Ossai was unable to play against the Patriots in Week 6, and Rich Cimini of ESPN.com notes that the veteran defensive end is still considered week-to-week due to an ankle injury. If Ossai is not cleared to return for Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Dolphins, then Will McDonald (toe) and Nate Lynn would be the Jets' depth options at defensive end behind Kingsley Enagbare and 2026 second-overall pick David Bailey.

Schwesinger (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Schwesinger was able to play through his lingering ankle injury in Week 6 versus the Ravens, recording a season-high 13 total tackles in that game. The Browns may simply be exercising an abundance of caution, but Schwesinger's activity at practice as the week continues will still be worth keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's contest at Tennessee.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Dalton is in a "ramp-up period" and will be inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Dalton was cut by the Eagles on Oct. 9, but it didn't take long for the veteran quarterback to find work with another team, as he signed with the Falcons on Monday. He's tracking toward being available for Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nov. 1, and Dalton could supplant Tua Tagovailoa for Atlanta's backup role behind Michael Penix.

Daniels (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Daniels spent a night in the hospital after being carted off the field in the third quarter of the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears. The linebacker has improved greatly since the collision and is already back to full participation in practice. If Daniels can continue to string full practices together, he should have no problem suiting up for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Terrell (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official website reports.

Terrell has been on injured reserve since Sept. 22 while recovering from a groin injury that he suffered in Week 2 versus the Panthers. The Falcons have now opened the cornerback's 21-day practice window, and if he is not activated before the end of that period, he will remain on IR for the rest of the season.

The NFL announced Wednesday that Franklin has received a one-game suspension without pay due to an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

The suspension stems from Franklin allegedly spitting at an opponent late in the fourth quarter during a successful extra-point attempt by the Raiders. The veteran defensive back has denied the allegation by the league and will appeal the ruling, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Franklin has played solely on special teams this season, but with C.J. Gardner-Johnson also handed a one-game suspension, the Bills' secondary could be thin for their Week 8 game against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1.
