Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Won't practice Wednesday
Rams coach Sean McVay said Corum (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Corum is considered day-to-day due to an ankle injury he sustained during Los Angeles' win over Baltimore in Week 6. He was able to retake the field versus the Ravens after being evaluated, but Corum's status for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars nonetheless looks uncertain and figures to be reliant on the extent of his activity at practice Thursday and Friday. If Corum misses any time, rookie fourth-rounder Jarquez Hunter will likely get a chance to handle added reserve opportunities behind Kyren Williams.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Misses practice Wednesday
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Nacua (ankle) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
McVay previously labeled Nacua "day-to-day" due to the left low-ankle sprain the star wideout suffered during the Rams' win over the Ravens this past Sunday, but his status remains uncertain for a Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars. In order to have any chance of suiting up this Sunday, Nacua will likely need to log at least limited practice activity Thursday and/or Friday. The Rams have an upcoming Week 8 bye, however, so it's possible that the team could simply allow Nacua to rest and target a tentative return in Week 9 against the Saints on Nov. 2.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Practicing Wednesday
Wicks (ankle) took part in practice Wednesday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks made an early exit from Sunday's win against the Bengals due to an ankle injury and didn't return to action. Getting back on the practice field just three days later generally is a good sign of health, but Wednesday's injury report ultimately will reveal his activity level to begin Week 7 prep.

Chuba Hubbard RB | CAR
Panthers' Chuba Hubbard: Seen at practice Wednesday
Hubbard (calf) was present for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Hubbard initially came down with a calf injury during Week 4 prep but was able to suit up Sunday, Sept. 28 against the Patriots and log a 51 percent snap share en route to 13 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage. He then didn't practice at all the past two weeks due to the same health concern and was inactive Weeks 5 and 6, allowing fellow RB Rico Dowdle to rip off back-to-back monster performances on the ground. Hubbard taking part in drills Wednesday will be a step in the right direction, but it's unclear if he'd take on the largest share of Carolina's backfield reps whenever he's cleared for game action considering how well Dowdle has performed.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Steelers' Calvin Austin: Sitting out Thursday's game
Austin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live reports.
He hasn't practiced since a Week 5 bye and will now miss as second straight game. Austin's absence from win over the Browns this past Sunday left more playing time available for Scotty Miller (50 percent route share) and Roman Wilson (27 percent), but they combined for just one target -- a 12-yard reception by Wilson. Pittsburgh's passing game will likely run through wideout DK Metcalf along with the tight ends and running backs.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Slated to practice Wednesday
Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Turpin (foot) is expected to practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Turpin didn't practice at all in advance of sitting out Weeks 5 and 6 due to a foot injury, so his return in some capacity Wednesday is a sign of progress in his recovery. His activity level will be confirmed once the Cowboys post their first Week 7 practice report.

DeMarvion Overshown LB | DAL
Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Return in play after bye
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Wednesday that Overshown (knee) could return Week 11 versus the Raiders, after Dallas' bye, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Overshown remains on the reserve/PUP list while working his way back from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee suffered last December. Early in the regular season, Overshown said that he anticipated returning to action before Thanksgiving, a timetable that seems to still be realistic. Once cleared to retake the field, Overshown's presence will provide a notable boost for the Cowboys' defense, which has struggled significantly to open the 2025 campaign.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: In line to practice Wednesday
Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Lamb (ankle) is expected to practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After Schottenheimer said Monday the Cowboys were "hopeful" to get Lamb back on the practice field this week, his comments two days later were a bit more definitive, implying that the team's No. 1 WR is drawing closer to his first game action since he suffered a high left-ankle sprain during a Week 3 loss at Chicago. Assuming Lamb does practice Wednesday, he likely will go down as a limited participant.

Alim McNeill DT | DET
Lions' Alim McNeill: Expected to debut Week 7
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday in a radio interview with 97.1 The Ticket Detroit that he expects McNeill (knee) to be ready to make his season debut in Monday's game against the Buccaneers.
The standout defensive lineman had his 21-day practice window opened Oct. 1, and he was a full participant at every practice Detroit held Week 6 while working his way back from an ACL tear in his right knee, which he suffered last December. Assuming McNeill steers clear of any setbacks in practice this week, expect him to be officially activated from the reserve/PUP list in advance of Monday's matchup. He concluded the 2024 campaign with 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble over 14 games.

Tay Martin WR | DET
Tay Martin: Returns to practice squad
Martin reverted to the Commanders' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transactions log.
Martin played seven offensive snaps and three snaps on special teams during Monday's loss to the Bears, though he wasn't targeted. With that having been the third consecutive game Martin was elevated for, Washington will have to sign him to the 53-man roster in order to have him play in any future contests, including Sunday's road matchup against the Cowboys. The placement of Noah Brown (groin/knee) on Wednesday may pave the road for exactly such a transaction.
