Cross (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

It's unknown what kind of issue Cross is dealing with or if it will result in a stint on injured reserve. For now, he will at least be unavailable versus Seattle in Week 3. Without Cross on the field, Quan Martin could be in line for more snaps.

Coleman (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Earlier Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Coleman was tending to an ankle sprain, which added insult to injury to a banged-up Denver backfield. In addition to Coleman, J.K. Dobbins (hip) and RJ Harvey (hamstring, inactive Week 2) were limited at Wednesday's session, leaving plenty of murkiness at the position ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Rams. Coleman likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to suit up Week 3.

Harvey (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Harvey sat out this past Sunday's win versus the Jaguars due to a hamstring injury, but going back to last week, he's now logged three straight 'limited' listings on Denver's practice reports. Meanwhile, J.K. Dobbins (hip) also was limited Wednesday, while Jonah Coleman sat out due to a sprained ankle. Considering the team's top three running backs currently are banged-up, the situation will continue to be monitored to get a sense of who among the three may be available Sunday against the Rams.

Smith (knee) underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Smith suffered a knee injury during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He will finish the 2026 campaign without a catch (one target), adding four carries for 13 yards. With Smith, Omar Cooper (ankle) and Tim Patrick (groin) out of the equation, Isaiah Williams could be in line for more opportunities behind Adonai Mitchell and Garrett Wilson. The Jets also signed Malik McClain off the practice squad Tuesday, which will help fill some of the void left by the injuries within the receiving corps.

Dobbins (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

As for the other injured Broncos running backs, RJ Harvey (hamstring) also was a limited participant, while Jonah Coleman didn't practice due to a sprained ankle. Dobbins himself suffered what was termed a hamstring injury during the team's Week 2 win against the Jaguars, but it was reclassified as a hip issue on Denver's first Week 3 practice report. He'll now have two more practices to prove his health ahead of the weekend.

Bowers (knee) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Bowers did not get a full session in Wednesday, but his participation alone bodes well for his chances of making his season debut Sunday against the Saints. Further updates on Bowers are still to come before the Raiders potentially assign him an injury designation for Week 3.

Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Onyemata was injured during the 20-17 overtime loss to Green Bay in Week 2. He was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, and while that means he will miss at least four games, he is anticipated to be out longer, though head coach Aaron Glenn expects him back before the end of the season. While Onyemata is out of commission, Darrell Jackson, Jowon Briggs, T'Vondre Sweat and Harrison Phillips will presumably see more snaps in each game moving ahead.

Nacua (groin) will not practice Wednesday, but head coach Sean McVay indicated he could practice later this week, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua sat out the final two practice sessions the Rams held prior to Monday's victory over the Giants and ultimately missed Week 2, and he remained unavailable Wednesday. If Nacua is able to get some work in for either or both of the next two days as McVay hopes, he has a chance to return to the field in Week 3.

Pollard was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

The Titans' top two running backs are both managing sore ankles to begin Week 3 prep, as Tyjae Spears was also sidelined for Wednesday's session. Head coach Robert Saleh didn't indicate that either back is at major risk of sitting out Sunday's game against the Giants, but Pollard will nonetheless need to upgrade to full practice participation by Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.
