Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Following the first two walkthroughs of Week 6 prep, Thomas was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday and will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. It's not exactly clear who will start alongside Ernest Jones at inside linebacker in Thomas' absence, but Tyrice Knight and Patrick O'Connell figure to be the top candidates to do so. Thomas' next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Stowers (quadriceps) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Stowers officially made his return to practice Wednesday as continues to recover from a quadriceps injury that has sidelined him for the first five weeks of the 2026 campaign. The tight end was previously also dealing with a hamstring issue, but he appears to have moved past that injury. Stowers will have two more chances to log a full practice before potentially making his NFL regular-season debut against the Panthers on Sunday.

Edwards (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on the Bears' official injury report Wednesday.

Edwards is expected to miss at least one game as a result of the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's game at Green Bay, so it's no big surprise he couldn't participate in Chicago's walk-through practice Wednesday. Unless he's able to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, it's unlikely he'll suit up in Week 6 at Atlanta.

Oliver (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Oliver has not practiced since picking up a knee injury in the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Patriots. The defensive tackle will likely sit for the Week 6 game against the Raiders, giving the 28-year-old the team's Week 7 bye to put the finishing touches on his recovery ahead of the Week 8 game against the Ravens.

Boerkircher (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Boerkircher appears to have picked up a back injury after the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Eagles in London. The tight end will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's practice to avoid any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Durant (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Durant has not practiced or played since tweaking his hamstring during the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Commanders. He would likely miss a fourth unless he's able to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days. Once he's cleared to play, Durant will give the Cowboys depth in the secondary behind starting outside cornerbacks Joey Porter (illness) and DaRon Bland.

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant at the Eagles' practice Wednesday.

Brown has been sidelined for each of the team's last three contests while nursing an ankle injury, but his limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction. The wide receiver will have two more chances to log a full practice and officially move past the ankle issue prior to Sunday's matchup with the Panthers.

Porter (illness) was limited in Wednesday's practice session, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

An illness prevented Porter from playing against the Buccaneers in Week 5, but he was cleared to return to on-field activities during the first practice of Week 6 prep. A full practice over the next two days would likely be enough for Porter to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's road game against the Packers. He figures to start opposite DaRon Bland at outside cornerback, with Cobie Durant (hamstring) and Ameer Speed (knee) providing depth at the position.

Nixon (groin) did not participate at the Packers' practice Wednesday.

Nixon is dealing with an apparent groin injury to open the week after recording six total tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during the team's 31-7 win over the Bears in Week 5. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday night's contest against the Cowboys.

Brown (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Brown exited the Jaguars' Week 5 win over the Eagles early with a hamstring issue. The cornerback likely aggravated his prior injury and it is unclear how long the repercussions will affect the 27-year-old.
