Witherspoon was unable to practice Wednesday due to a knee injury that he picked up during the Seahawks' 17-13 loss to the 49ers this past Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Witherspoon injured his knee midway through the fourth quarter on the same play that Josh Jobe picked off a pass from Brock Purdy (toe) on a pass intended for Ricky Pearsall, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Witherspoon was able to play for the rest of the game, but he's come out of the contest worse for wear and will need to participate in practice over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Steelers in Week 2.

Tom (oblique) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom was not able to practice at all during the week, which signals he may be on the "doubtful" end of the questionable designation. After Tom went down with his oblique injury in Week 1, Darian Kinnard came in at right tackle, so he'd be the favorite to start there Thursday in the event that Tom ends up being out.

Scott (ankle) was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Scott suffered an ankle injury in Minnesota's final preseason contest Aug. 22 and didn't play in Week 1 versus Chicago. However, he appears to be past the ankle issue given his estimation as a full participant Wednesday. If Scott is able to play Sunday against Atlanta, he'll likely be Minnesota's No. 3 RB since Ty Chandler isn't expected to play due to a knee injury.

Young (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Young was unable to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener against the 49ers this past Sunday due to a hamstring injury. He has two more chances this week to upgrade his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Seattle's Week 2 clash against Pittsburgh. The 2022 seventh-rounder worked mostly on special teams last year and will likely reprise that role this season.

James (finger) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

James was once again limited at practice to open the week as he continues to recover from a broken finger that he suffered in early August. The 21-year-old will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Cox (groin) is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Commanders, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Cox did not practice at all this week after leaving Green Bay's regular-season debut early with a groin issue, and now he'll have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. In his stead, Kingsley Enagbare projects to see an increased workload on the edge.

Hunt (hip) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.

Hunt popped up on the injury report after having racked up three tackles (one solo) during the team's Week 1 win over the Cowboys. While it's currently unclear how Hunt picked up the injury, he will look to be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs.

Mullings (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official website reports.

Mullings suffered a right ankle injury in the team's 20-12 loss to the Broncos in Week 1, and he has now opened the week of practice on the sidelines. The running back will have two more opportunities to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Tranquill (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Tranquill enjoyed a big Week 1 against the Chargers, logging 2.0 sacks while playing 82 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps. However, he's now dealing with a knee injury. Tranquill's practice status the remainder of the week should provide more clarity about whether he's in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia.

Porter (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Porter was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets early after he picked up a hamstring issue, and now his availability for Week 2 is in doubt. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up versus the Seahawks.
