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.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Cashman (hamstring) is expected to miss time.

Cashman exited early from Monday's season-opening win over Chicago and subsequently underwent an MRI on his hamstring. Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that there was an initial expectation that Cashman would miss "several" weeks, and that still seems to be on the table given O'Connell's comments Wednesday. Eric Wilson steeped up with five tackles following Cashman's departure Monday and figures to take on a starting role during the latter's absence.

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

Despite a lingering knee issue, Alexander was able to suit up for the Ravens' Week 1 loss against the Bills this past Sunday, when he finished with three tackles (two solo) while playing 33 of 85 defensive snaps. He'll likely remain limited in practices to manage the injury, and there's no indication that he will miss the Ravens' Week 2 AFC North clash against the Browns on Sunday, barring a setback. Even so, Alexander could be deployed on a part-time basis early in the season, which means Chidobe Awuzie -- who played 67 defensive snaps Week 1 -- should continue to see additional work at outside corner opposite Nate Wiggins.

Jones didn't participate in Indianapolis' practice Wednesday.

Jones is still dealing with the hamstring injury that he suffered during the first half of last week's victory over the Dolphins. If he ends up being able to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, the 23-year-old would likely see the majority of his playing time on special teams.

Edwards (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Edwards missed the team's regular-season opener against the Vikings on Monday while nursing a hamstring injury. The linebacker will look to increase his participation at the Bears' two remaining practices prior to Sunday's matchup with the Lions. Head coach Ben Johnson said Wednesday that he's optimistic that Edwards will be able to play in Week 2, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, but time will tell.

Nwosu (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Nwosu spent the offseason recovering from knee surgery in March. He was unable to play in the preseason and was ruled out for Week 1 against the 49ers, but his ability to log a full practice Wednesday indicates that he is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. Nwosu was limited to just six regular-season games in 2024 due to multiple lower-body injuries and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defense.

Allen (knee) was a limited participant in the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

Allen is one of two of the team's tight ends to be dealing with an injury, as Colby Parkinson sat out practice due to a sprained AC joint. Allen caught one of his two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown during the team's Week 1 win over the Texans, and it remains to be seen if he'll be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Titans.

Reed was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Reed may have picked up the injury during the Seahawks' 17-13 loss to the 49ers this past Sunday, when he played 43 snaps (38 on defense, five on special teams) and logged five tackles (two solo) and two quarterback hits. He doesn't appear to be in great jeopardy of missing Seattle's Week 2 contest against Pittsburgh this Sunday, but his practice participation over the next two days will determine whether he enters the weekend with an injury tag.
