Wilson gathered in one of four targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-13 win at New Orleans.

Wilson was on the field for 44 of 66 offensive snaps (67 percent), but his 26 routes run yielded little, while top wide receiver Marvin Harrison's 32 routes resulted in a 5-71-1 line on six targets on an 89 percent snap share. At the same time, No. 3 WR Zay Jones (1-4-0) nearly matched Wilson's output on one target and a 47 percent share of plays. The Cardinals consolidate most of the targets among TE Trey McBride (nine on Sunday), Harrison and RB James Conner (four), so Wilson has his work cut out for him to produce weekly.

Okudah is in concussion protocol and was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Okudah logged 14 defensive snaps Week 1 against Chicago on Monday but was evaluated for a concussion after the contest. He hasn't yet cleared protocol, and he won't be able to practice until he does so. If Okudah is unable to play Sunday against Atlanta, Dwight McGlothern may be asked to log some rotational snaps at cornerback.

Norman-Lott (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Norman-Lott was forced to miss Kansas City's regular-season opener due to an ankle injury he's been dealing with since training camp, but he now appears to be back to full strength. He's on track to make his NFL debut in Week 2 versus the Eagles.

Decker (shoulder) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

Decker had been dealing with undisclosed injury prior to the team's Week 1 loss to Green Bay, but it's unclear if that's related to the shoulder injury that sidelined him Wednesday. If he ends up being unable to play in Sunday's game versus Chicago, Giovanni Manu would likely get the start at left tackle in his place.

Gordon (hamstring) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Bears' walkthrough Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Gordon did not play in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings in Week 1 after being a late addition to the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury. The cornerback had a previous hamstring issue that sidelined him for a chunk of time during the preseason, and it's possible that he aggravated the issue late last week. Gordon will likely have to return to practice in some capacity this week in order to potentially play Sunday versus the Lions.

Smith (illness) was estimated as limited in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Smith missed time during training camp due to a personal issue and then was reported to be dealing with an illness last week, though it's unclear if the two events are related. The Vikings have so far decided not to put the veteran safety on injured reserve, so the expectation is that he'll be able to return by Week 4. Smith affirmed that belief Wednesday, saying that he expects to be back within a four-week window and describing his health issue as "physical," per Alec Lewis of The Athletic. With Smith sidelined for the Week 1 win over the Bears, Theo Jackson started at safety and logged 100 percent of the Vikings' defensive snaps. Jackson is expected to make another start Sunday versus the Falcons in Smith's stead.

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Brown missed all of training camp and the Jaguars' regular-season opener against the Panthers this past Sunday due to an ankle injury that he suffered in late July. However, his ability to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday is a sign that he is progressing in his recovery. Brown will have two more chances this week to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag heading into the Jaguars' Week 2 clash against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday.

Thomas (hand) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

Thomas has seemingly recovered from the hand injury he suffered during the first quarter of the team's Week 1 loss to the Packers. The 27-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Bears, where he will likely serve as a backup safety behind Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch once again.

Rousseau was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Rosseau played 35 of 51 defensive snaps during the Bills' Week 1 win over the Ravens and finished with three solo tackles and a pass defense. He may have picked up a knee injury during the victory, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's AFC East clash against the Jets.

Johnson (groin/calf) was estimated to be a full participant at the Bears' walkthrough Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Johnson was sidelined Week 1 while dealing with both a groin issue and a calf injury, but he appears to be on track to return to action Sunday against the Lions. Head coach Ben Johnson was optimistic that the cornerback will be able to play in Week 2, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, but Johnson's status at practice the rest of the week will be worth monitoring.
