The Seahawks signed Thomas from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Despite being signed to the practice squad, Thomas was elevated to the 53-man roster versus New England in Week 1 and Arizona in Week 2. In those two games, the 28-year-old accumulated four total tackles (three solo) and two passes defended while appearing in nearly all of Seattle's defensive snaps. With Ty Okada (hamstring) sidelined, Thomas could continue to see regular action for the foreseeable future.

Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Nabers exited Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a right shoulder injury but was able to return to the contest, finishing with one catch (on four targets) for one yard. Granted, Jameis Winston took over for an injured Jaxson Dart after the first series of the contest, and now Nabers will be working with Winston for the foreseeable future with Dart slated for surgery on his injured left knee. Nabers will have two more opportunities to get back to full participation this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Collins was not spotted by reporters prior to Wednesday's session, and he officially did not get any work in at Houston's first session of the week. It was reported Saturday that Collins could miss two games with his injury, and after sitting out Week 2, he could miss Week 3 unless he is able to get some work in either or both of the next two days.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Dart (knee) will miss the rest of the 2026 regular season, but he didn't rule out a return for the playoffs if the Giants qualify, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Dart is set for surgery after suffering damage to the MCL, PCL and meniscus in his left knee during Monday's 28-6 loss at the Rams. While the meniscus injury is the primary concern for the second-year quarterback, fortunately for him the ACL in that knee is intact. While Dart is sidelined, Jameis Winston will direct the Giants offense Sunday versus the Titans and beyond.

The Colts signed Pancol to the practice squad Wednesday.

Pancol participated in the Colts' training camp this summer but was waived by the team on Aug. 30. While the signing is a step in the right direction for Pancol's NFL career, he might not get an opportunity to appear in a regular-season game for Indianapolis anytime soon. The wideout appeared in 57 games for Duke from 2019-2024, amassing 130 catches for 1,710 yards and 14 touchdowns, adding 40 yards and two scores off seven carries.

Bell was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald, Bell was spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins haven't revealed whether Bell's limitations to begin Week 3 prep are related to the torn ACL he suffered last December, but he'll now have two more practices to prove his health this week ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Through two games to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick has tallied one catch (on three targets) for 25 yards.

Head coach Kellen Moore said Etienne was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans reports.

Etienne has earned a shade more than 50 percent of the offensive snaps in both of his first two games as a Saint, but he's managed just 26 touches for 109 yards from scrimmage to date. Now with a health concern in tow, his status bears watching as the week goes on to get a sense of his ability to play Sunday against the Raiders.

Meyers (thumb) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.

The veteran has been held back in practice for much of the season due to a thumb issue, but it hasn't prevented him from suiting up on Sundays. Look for the Jaguars to continue to manage Meyers' injury cautiously in practices to keep him fresh on gamedays. The wideout still looks to be on track to play Week 3 versus the Patriots.

Monangai (undisclosed) was not present during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Monangai has been battling through multiple lower-body issues dating back to training camp, including a knee injury and a hamstring issue that limited him in practice last week. However, he has still been able to suit up and play well in both games so far. Saturday's injury report will be more telling for Monangai's status heading into Monday Night Football against the Eagles.

Reed (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Falcons, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

This was merely a formality after Reed was placed on a backboard and carted off the field after the Packers' second offensive play of this past Sunday's 20-17 overtime win at the Jets. He remained in the New York area afterward for further evaluation, and upon Reed's return to Green Bay on Tuesday, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that the wide receiver's injury was contained to his neck area, and it's "way too early" to tell if he has a chance to play again this season until he undergoes additional medical tests. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant will man the team's receiving corps Week 3 and beyond.
