Addison (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Prior to the Vikings' last game Week 5 at New Orleans, for which Addision was inactive, he managed a pair of limited practices as he tended to a sore hamstring. After a Week 6 bye, his ability to handle every on-field rep has him in the clear for Sunday's game versus the Colts. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) still limited Wednesday, Addison may in line for a bit more reps this weekend if the former is at all inhibited.

Sampson (knee) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com previously noted that coach Todd Monken indicated that he was optimistic Sampson -- who last saw action in Week 1 -- will be able to come off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. The Browns may also welcome lead RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle) back to the lineup this weekend, and if both Judkins and Sampson are available versus Tennessee, Sampson figures to work as a pass-catching complement behind Judkins (ankle).

Surtain (ankle) was on the field for the start of practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The 2024 NFL Defensive Player of the Year hasn't practiced or played since spraining his ankle in an Oct. 4 loss to the 49ers, so his presence on the field Wednesday marks the first notable sign of progress in his recovery. Per James Palmer of Bleacher Report, the Broncos have been targeting their Week 8 game versus the Chiefs for Surtain's return to the lineup, but the star cornerback could put himself on a path to play this Sunday in Arizona if he looks better than anticipated in practice over the next few days.

Bateman (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Per Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, Bateman was sporting a no-contact jersey during the session, but his presence on the field in any capacity was a promising sign after he was unable to return to Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns. If he's able to take contact in practice at some point over the next two days, Bateman should be in good shape to play this weekend against the Bengals.

Coleman (ankle) was on the field for practice Wednesday after being designated for return from injured reserve, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The transaction opens up a 21-day window wherein the Broncos can evaluate Coleman for a return from the 53-man roster. Though Coleman is eligible to play as soon as Sunday against the Cardinals, the rookie running back may need more than a week of practice time before the Broncos are ready to bring him back from IR. Prior to being deactivated due to an ankle sprain, Coleman logged 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches for 19 yards on three targets through Denver's first two games.

Willis was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being listed on the Dolphins' injury report with a right thumb issue, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Willis wasn't spotted throwing in an informal practice during the Dolphins' Week 6 bye due to an unspecified reason, but the thumb issue provides an explanation. After a week off to rest and recover, Willis kicked off Week 7 prep with no limitations and will be ready to start in Sunday's game against the Jets.

Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

According to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Wright looked good in practice despite having his reps managed. Wright has been battling a nagging foot issue for a chunk of the season but has been able to play in both of the last two games. Miami is coming off a Week 6 bye, so Wright should be closer to full health when the team faces off against the Jets this Sunday. He'll likely work in a complementary role behind Ollie Gordon, who averaged 7.0 yards per carry on 27 totes over the past two weeks following De'Von Achane's season-ending knee injury.

Jackson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant Wednesday.

Earlier Wednesday, head coach Jesse Minter told Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site that Jackson was able to get in some "limited" work, and the team's first practice report of Week 7 confirmed as much. The limited session marked Jackson's first practice participation since sustaining a left ankle sprain in a Week 4 win over the Titans. Encouraging though it may be that Jackson was back on the field Wednesday, a decision has yet to be made regarding whether he'll be available this Sunday against the Bengals. Jackson's practice participation in the next two days will likely go a long way toward determining his status.

Douglas (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday and said afterward that his status is day-to-day heading into Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The rookie wideout was able to get back on the field in some capacity for the first time since exiting a Week 2 loss to the 49ers. After a three-game absence, Douglas will likely need to turn in at least one full practice during Week 7 prep in order for the Dolphins to clear him to play Sunday against the Jets.

Concepcion (calf, quad) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

The rookie is starting the week with a limited practice due to calf and quad issues. That he was able to participate is a good sign, however, even if Concepcion wasn't a full-go. Concepcion's status for Sunday's game against the Titans will become more clear with Friday's injury report.
