Ebukam (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Ebukam was not able to practice during the week, and he'll now have to miss at least one game as he recovers from the hamstring injury he suffered during Atlanta's loss versus the Panthers in Week 2. In his absence, Jared Ivey figures to see increased reps on the edge.

Ward (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Ward exited Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs early due to groin tightness. The starting cornerback will likely need to upgrade his practice participation to at least a limited level by Friday to have a chance of playing in the Colts' Week 3 divisional matchup against the Texans.

Phillips (back) did not practice Wednesday.

Phillips was forced to sit out the team's first practice of the week as he nurses a back injury. The 27-year-old likely suffered the injury during the team's 34-3 win over Atlanta in Week 2, a game during which he registered two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks. Phillips will have two more opportunities to practice before the Panthers travel to face Cleveland in Week 3.

Bowman (Achilles) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Green Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Atlanta only held a walkthrough practice Wednesday, but Bowman was estimated as a full participant, so it seems he's trending in a positive direction ahead of Thursday's contest. If he's not able to make his 2026 debut in Week 3, however, rookie second-rounder Avieon Terrell could continue to see an expanded role in the secondary.

Giddens (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Giddens has yet to participate in a regular-season game this season. The running back missed the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Ravens as a healthy scratch before missing the Week 2 overtime loss to the Chiefs with a knee injury. The No. 3 back is now healthy and should be available for the Week 3 game against the Texans.

Coleman didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

DJ Moore was believed to be the Bills wide receiver dealing with a health concern this week after he suffered an AC joint sprain last Thursday against the Lions. Instead, Moore was a limited participant Wednesday, while Coleman didn't log any practice reps at all to kick off Week 3 prep. Coleman's status thus bears watching Thursday and Friday to see whether or not he's trending toward an absence Sunday versus the Chargers.

Scott (ribs) did not participate at the Panthers' practice Wednesday.

Scott suffered an abdominal injury in the team's 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday, and it is now understood to be an injury to his ribs. The 31-year-old will have two more chances to return to practice prior to traveling to face Cleveland in Week 3.

The 49ers placed West (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday.

It remains unclear what issue is sidelining the second-year player. West will now need to miss at least four games on IR before becoming eligible to return to the active roster. The defensive tackle has logged five tackles (one solo) over 49 defensive snaps in the 49ers' first two regular-season games.

Campbell (ankle/hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Campbell played through his ankle issue during Sunday's win at Tampa Bay, and it's a generally encouraging sign that the hip injury that took him out of that contest early isn't keeping him off the practice field entirely. He'll likely need to quickly recover from both injuries and log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Lloyd (calf) did not participate at the Panthers' practice Wednesday.

Lloyd popped up on the injury report with a calf issue to open the week. The injury occurred during the first half of Sunday's 34-3 win over Atlanta, but the linebacker is not too concerned about it, per Joe Person of The Athletic. Lloyd will have two more chances to return to practice before the team travels to face the Browns in Week 3.
