Fehoko was signed to the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

The 2021 fifth-round pick joined the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, with the injury to key special-teamer Joey Blount (neck/concussion), Fehoko has been added to the active roster. The Stanford product is expected to contribute on special teams and as a depth piece in Arizona's wide receiver corps as the season continues.

The Cardinals placed Blount (neck/concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters earlier Wednesday that Blount would miss the remainder the season due to a neck injury, so his move to IR comes as no surprise. Kitan Crawford will likely see increased snaps as a rotational safety and special-teamer while Blount remains sidelined.

Royals (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Coach Andy Reid noted that Royals -- who was inactive Week 1 -- is doing better and making progress but acknowledged that at this stage it's too early to know if the wideout will be able to play Sunday against the Eagles, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. For now, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton are Kansas City's top healthy/available WRs.

Worthy (shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

According to coach Andy Reid, Worthy -- who suffered a right shoulder injury during Week 1 action -- is doing better and making progress, while surgery currently isn't under consideration for the wideout. As this stage, however, Worthy's status for Sunday's game against the Eagles remains cloudy, and in that context Hollywood Brown is the Chiefs' top healthy and available WR. In the event that both Worthy and Jalen Royals (knee) are sidelined this weekend, added snaps would be available for JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton.

Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters Wednesday that McFadden (foot) won't play in the Giants' Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

This news comes as no surprise, as McFadden's foot injury will require surgery, and he was expected to miss "significant time." While McFadden remains sidelined Sunday, Darius Muasau is expected to start alongside Bobby Okereke in New York's inside linebacker corps.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Wednesday that Blount (neck/concussion) will be placed on injured reserve and miss the remainder of the season, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Blount was originally ruled out for the remainder of Arizona's Week 1 win due to a concussion, but it now appears he also sustained a neck injury serious enough to end his 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old from Virginia has appeared in 27 games for the Cardinals over the past three seasons, recording 12 total tackles as a key special-teamer. With Blount out for the year, Kitan Crawford could see additional reps as a rotational safety as the season progresses.

Thomas (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Raanan added that this is part of head coach Brian Daboll's plan for Thomas' recovery, and he will practice both Thursday and Friday. The 2020 first-round pick is still working back from a foot injury that limited him to just six games in 2024. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 2, when the Giants play the Cowboys.

The Dolphins are preparing to be without Jackson (toe) in Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jackson exited the Dolphins' Week 1 loss to the Colts due to a toe injury, and it's starting to appear as if he can't play through the issue Sunday. With Jackson likely out and James Daniels (pectoral) being placed injured reserve, Miami is expected to start Larry Borom and Kion Smith and right tackle and guard, respectively.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Robinson (ankle) will not practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Robinson played 76 percent of New York's offensive snaps during the Giants' 21-6 loss to the Commanders in Week 1, in which he secured six of eight targets for 55 yards, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury in the process. Daboll downplayed the severity of Robinson's injury, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, so as long as the No. 2 receiver is able to return to practice Thursday and/or Friday he should have a good chance to suit up Sunday on the road against Dallas. Russell Wilson has been confirmed as the starter again for Week 2, but if the Giants' offense isn't able to improve notably after having been limited to just 168 passing yards Week 1, the team could soon consider a shift to rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart.

The Jets signed Williams off the Bengals' practice squad Wednesday.

The second-year wideout spent time with the Bengals and Lions in 2024, catching two of his three targets for six yards and recording 169 kick-return yards over eight total appearances. With New York waiving Xavier Gipson on Wednesday and Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) potentially sidelined, Williams now will be an option to return kicks in the Jets' Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.
