Engram (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Engram played 26 snaps in the Broncos' season-opening win over the Titans before exiting the contest with a calf injury. While the tight end's official limited listing Wednesday is encouraging, he'll presumably need to work fully by Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Colts without an injury designation.

McKee (right thumb) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

McKee hasn't practiced since he was diagnosed with a fractured thumb on his right throwing hand Aug. 24. Until he's able to return to practice, he'll likely continue to yield backup QB duties to Sam Howell behind starter Jalen Hurts. Nonetheless, McKee will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to return to action Sunday in Kansas City.

Shipley was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an oblique injury.

When Shipley exited last Thursday's win against the Cowboys, the Eagles deemed him questionable to return due to a rib injury, which has been reclassified on the team's first Week 2 practice report. He was acting as Saquon Barkley's primary backup before his departure, but Philadelphia traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday to give it another option aside from AJ Dillon out of the backfield if Shipley isn't able to suit up Sunday in Kansas City.

Goedert (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

Per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia, Goedert is dealing with a knee sprain in the wake of the Eagles' season-opening win against the Cowboys, leaving his status uncertain for Sunday's showdown on the road with the Chiefs. The injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, but the Eagles clearly are exercising caution with their No. 1 TE. Goedert will have two more chances to mix into drills this week before Philadelphia potentially makes a ruling on his status for Week 2. Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson are the current healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Rodgers (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle.

Rodgers told reporters Wednesday that back tightness impacted his mobility during a 34-32 win over the Jets this past Sunday. He's apparently moved past it, healthy for Week 2 and hoping to build on a four-TD showing in his Steelers debut.

Hill, who was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday, is not listed on the Dolphins' Week 2 injury report, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports.

Hill managed oblique and calf issues leading up to Week 1 action, but he didn't carry an injury designation ahead of Miami's 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday and is now off the injury report altogether. Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, on the subject of recent domestic violence allegations pertaining to Hill -- that are being reviewed by the league, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network -- coach Mike McDaniel noted Wednesday, "we've been in communication with the NFL and will let the process play out." In Miami's regular-season opener, Hill was on the field for 62 percent of the team's snaps on offense and caught four of his six targets for 40 yards.

Renfrow (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Renfrow finished Week 1 second on the Panthers in route share (81 percent) and third in targets (six), but with just 11 yards to show for it. He took 74 percent of his snaps in the slot, which is where he'll likely be again this Sunday if he's healthy enough to suit up at Arizona, squaring off with Cardinals slot corner Garrett Williams.

Thompson (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Thompson also missed practice last Wednesday but was ultimately cleared to suit up for Buffalo's win over the Ravens in Week 1. The veteran linebacker is likely simply having his workload similarly managed heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. It's notable, though, that Thompson played exclusively on special-teams Week 1. Even once fully healthy, the 31-year-old may not see enough work on defense with the Bills to be included on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

Reiman didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury that he sustained early on during this past Sunday's win at New Orleans, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Reiman handled 34 of 66 offensive snaps (52 percent) Week 1, which ranked behind top TE Trey McBride (97 percent) and ahead of fellow reserve Elijah Higgins (30 percent). While starting off this week with a DNP is cause for concern, Reiman also may be operating under a maintenance program for the health concern. In the end, his status may gain some clarity by week's end ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Johnson (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.

Johnson played 66 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's narrow Week 1 win over the Ravens, recording two solo tackles, but he's now emerged from the contest with a quadriceps injury. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his activity level at practice before the Bills assign him a preliminary injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets. On a positive note for Buffalo's cornerbacks corps, Tre'Davious White (groin) returned to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday.
