Jackson (ankle) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Jackson was sidelined for a fourth consecutive practice, after his sprained left ankle kept him from logging any on-field reps in Week 5 before he was ruled out ahead of the Ravens' eventual 30-23 overtime win over the Falcons last Sunday. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, head coach Jesse Minter said after Wednesday's session that Jackson is considered day-to-day, and the Ravens aren't yet ruling him out from starting this Sunday against the Browns. If Jackson ends up missing another game, Tyler Huntley would direct the Baltimore offense for a second straight week.

Sampson (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

Despite being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Sampson didn't end up logging any reps after having his 21-day practice window opened. Prior to the Browns' first Week 6 practice, head coach Todd Monken told Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram that Sampson has a chance at being activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year back would likely need to put in a full workout Thursday or Friday to make that a reality.

Odeyingbo (quadriceps) is expected to miss time, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

Odeyingbo isn't anticipated to land on injured reserve, though he could end up missing a few games, starting with the Week 6 meeting with the Falcons. With Montez Sweat (suspension) also sidelined for the next two contests, Daniel Hardy and James Lynch could see more snaps alongside Austin Booker for the foreseeable future.

Concepcion (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Just three days after sustaining a concussion when he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from the Jets' Minkah Fitzpatrick, Concepcion was able to make enough progress through the five-step protocol to open Week 6 prep on the field, albeit in a limited fashion. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation and will then need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. If Concepcion can't play Sunday against the Ravens, Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond would be in line for added reps alongside Denzel Boston (foot) in two- and three-receiver sets.

Boston was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

The rookie second-round pick is making his first career appearance on the injury report, but his ability to practice on at least a limited basis to begin Week 6 prep is a good sign for his chances of playing Sunday against the Ravens. The current betting favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, Boston has opened his career with a 16-330-3 receiving line on 29 targets through five games.

Kamara (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

For a second straight week, Kamara is dealing with a back injury, but he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a 27 percent snap share and turning five touches into six yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the backfield, Kendre Miller had 31 percent and 10 touches, while CJ Donaldson paced the group with 42 percent and logged five touches. None of the trio has stood out since Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on IR after Week 3, and Kamara's continued health concerns make him even less reliable for fantasy purposes on top of the current timeshare at the position.

Henderson (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Henderson exited Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens due to a groin injury. He didn't practice Wednesday. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't ruled the 28-year-old out for the Week 6 meeting with the Bears. If Henderson can't get on the field versus Chicago, Avieon Terrell would presumably see more snaps alongside Mike Hughes.

Judkins (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com noted that Judkins was spotted Wednesday walking around the locker room without a walking boot on his right foot, but the running back ultimately wasn't able to mix into any drills during the Browns' first Week 6 practice session. Judkins will need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday for fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Ravens. At least for the time being, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are the healthy running backs on the Browns' active roster.

Penix (ribs) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Penix suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, which didn't allow him to take the field for the Falcons' only possession of overtime. Head coach Kevin Stefanski told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com that Penix was slated to be limited at Wednesday's practice, but afterward the quarterback himself relayed to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, "We're good, and I feel good to go this week, so that's the plan. ... It's not always comfortable, but I made every throw out there today." Penix's subsequent full listing indicates as much, and he'll remain Atlanta's QB1 for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Ossai (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Ossai suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's meeting with the Browns. While he managed to return to the contest, it doesn't appear he will be on the field in Week 6 versus the Patriots. Ossai's absence could potentially last longer than that, considering head coach Aaron Glenn classified the 26-year-old as week-to-week.
