Smith (knee) underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith suffered a knee injury during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He will finish the 2026 campaign without a catch (one target), adding four carries for 13 yards. With Smith, Omar Cooper (ankle) and Tim Patrick (groin) out of the equation, Isaiah Williams could be in line for more opportunities behind Adonai Mitchell and Garrett Wilson. The Jets also signed Malik McClain off the practice squad Tuesday, which will help fill some of the void left by the injuries within the receiving corps.

Dobbins (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

As for the other injured Broncos running backs, RJ Harvey (hamstring) also was a limited participant, while Jonah Coleman didn't practice due to a sprained ankle. Dobbins himself suffered what was termed a hamstring injury during the team's Week 2 win against the Jaguars, but it was reclassified as a hip issue on Denver's first Week 3 practice report. He'll now have two more practices to prove his health ahead of the weekend.

Bowers (knee) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Bowers did not get a full session in Wednesday, but his participation alone bodes well for his chances of making his season debut Sunday against the Saints. Further updates on Bowers are still to come before the Raiders potentially assign him an injury designation for Week 3.

Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Onyemata was injured during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, and while that means he will miss at least four games, he is anticipated to be out longer, though head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back before the end of the season. While Onyemata is out of commission, Darrell Jackson, Jowon Briggs, T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips will presumably see more snaps in each game moving ahead.

Nacua (groin) will not practice Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay indicated he could practice later this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua sat out the final two practice sessions the Rams held prior to Monday's victory over the Giants and ultimately missed Week 2, and he remained unavailable Wednesday. If Nacua is able to get some work in for either or both of the next two days as McVay hopes, he has a chance to return to the field in Week 3.

Pollard was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

The Titans' top two running backs are both managing sore ankles to begin Week 3 prep, as Tyjae Spears was also sidelined for Wednesday's session. Head coach Robert Saleh didn't indicate that either back is at major risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Giants, but Pollard will nonetheless need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

The Seahawks signed Thomas from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Despite being signed to the practice squad, Thomas was elevated to the 53-man roster versus New England in Week 1 and Arizona in Week 2. In those two games, the 28-year-old accumulated four total tackles (three solo) and two passes defended while appearing in nearly all of Seattle's defensive snaps. With Ty Okada (hamstring) sidelined, Thomas could continue to see regular action for the foreseeable future.

Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Nabers exited Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury but was able to return to the contest, finishing with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Granted, Jameis Winston took over for an injured Jaxson Dart after the first series of the contest, and now Nabers will be working with Winston for the foreseeable future with Dart slated for surgery on his injured left knee. Nabers will have two more opportunities to get back to full participation this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Collins was not spotted by reporters prior to Wednesday's session, and he officially did not get any work in at Houston's first session of the week. It was reported Saturday that Collins could miss two games with his injury, and after sitting out Week 2, he could miss Week 3 unless he is able to get some work in either or both of the next two days.
