Flott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Flott was unable to participate in Friday's practice, causing the starting cornerback to sit out Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles. The 25-year-old is back at practice but will need to upgrade to full participation by Friday's session to avoid any injury designation ahead of the Titans' Week 3 game against the Giants.

Raridon (thigh) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Raridon was forced to leave Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers in the first half with a thigh injury, and he was unable to return to the game. The tight end's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before the team faces the Jaguars in Week 3.

The Rams placed Rivers (calf) on their injured reserve list Wednesday.

Per Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site, coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Rivers' calf injury is expected to keep him sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks. McVay also said the team plans to elevate either undrafted rookie Dean Connors or Jordan Waters from its practice squad for Sunday's game at Denver.

The Cardinals signed Thomas to the active roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Thomas appeared in 17 games for Arizona during the 2024 campaign and logged 47 tackles (31 solo) and a forced fumble, but he missed the entirety of last season due to a torn ACL. With Will Johnson expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a neck injury, Thomas should provide additional depth at corner to help fill the void.

Williams (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Williams was inactive for the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles in Week 3 due to an elbow injury. The linebacker has recovered from the issue and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Giants, barring any setbacks.

Gilliam (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.

Gilliam appears to have left Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers a little worse for wear, picking up a knee injury at some point during the contest. The fullback will have two more chances to log a full practice before the team's Week 3 matchup with Jacksonville.

Davis (neck) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Davis was unavailable for the team's Week 2 win over the Steelers as a result of a neck injury, but he now appears to be healthy ahead of Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. The 29-year-old will slot in as a starting cornerback versus Jacksonville.

Allen (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

It's not immediately clear when Allen picked up the knee injury, but his availability for Week 3 is now in question. He'll probably need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have a realistic chance of suiting up Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Nwangwu (back) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Nwangwu did not practice at all leading up to Week 2 and missed the Jets' overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday. The running back and kick returner has missed every practice and game since sustaining a back injury on Sept. 11. Nwangwu was not placed on IR after the injury, so it is reasonable to expect the 28-year-old to return to the field by Week 4, even if he cannot increase his practice participation soon enough to play in the team's Week 3 contest against the Lions.

The Panthers signed Simmons to the active roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Simmons had been elevated for each of the team's first two games, playing 49 snaps on special teams and five on defense, but he failed to record any stats. The 28-year-old will likely continue to serve a similar role going forward.
