Jenkins (concussion) is officially listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Steelers.

Jenkins was unable to practice during the week after entering concussion protocol, and he'll now spend at least one game on the sidelines as he recovers. In his stead, Luke Wypler projects to start at center in Week 4.

Echols (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Browns, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reported Wednesday.

Echols cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Wednesday but remains questionable for Thursday's game. It is unclear why the cornerback may be held out of the contest, but it may have to do with the limited amount of prep the 28-year-old was able to achieve in a short week.

Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Lewis (elbow) may return to game action following Carolina's bye in Week 5, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Lewis sustained a UCL injury during Sunday's game at Cleveland, and it looks like he'll have to miss at least one game as a result. For now, Corey Bullock figures to start at left guard Sunday versus the Lions.

The Cowboys placed Bullard (calf) on injured reserve Wednesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Bullard suffered a calf injury during the Cowboys' Week 3 loss to the Ravens. The injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on IR, which means he'll have to miss at least the next four games and is eligible to return for Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1. Rookie fourth-rounder LT Overton could see a bump in rotational defensive snaps for as long as Bullard is on the shelf.

Parham is considered week to week due to a knee injury, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Parham is expected to sit out Sunday's matchup versus the Bears after suffering a knee injury during the Week 3 loss to the Lions. In his absence, James Meredith will likely start at left guard.

Baltimore signed James (undisclosed) to its practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jovaughn Gwyn fractured his fibula during Baltimore's contest against the Cowboys in Week 3 in Brazil, and veteran Ethan Pocic suffered a serious knee injury in that same game, prompting the Ravens to add some organizational depth at center. James primarily served as a backup at the position for the Chargers in 2025.

Simmons (back) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Simmons has a bulging disc in his lower back. Coach Andy Reid said the left tackle continues to make progress and regain strength but has not given any hints as to when the left tackle will return. The 2025 first-rounder played eight games in 2025 as a rookie but has been unable to suit up at all in 2026.

The Texans signed Braswell from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Braswell played 17 regular-season games with the Buccaneers in 2025, logging 30 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 281 defensive snaps and 204 special-teams snaps. The defensive end will now provide additional depth to a Texans line that may be without Will Anderson (ankle) and Jadeveon Clowney (knee) in Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Taylor-Demerson (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Taylor-Demerson is still dealing with the back injury that forced him to miss the Week 3 loss to the Commanders. He will likely have to participate in either Thursday or Friday's practice session in order to have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

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

Campbell likely suffered his knee injury during the Eagles' Week 3 loss to the Bears. The linebacker practicing in a limited capacity despite the new injury is a good sign. Campbell should be able to avoid any injury designation by upgrading to a full participant in practice by Friday.
