Oliver (hip) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Oliver suffered a hip injury in pre-game warmups before the Bills' Week 2 Thursday Night Football win over the Lions. The defensive tackle is considered day-to-day with the injury, meaning a limited or full participation day in the Thursday and Friday practice sessions could be enough for the 28-year-old to earn the right to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Kinchens (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's estimated practice session, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Kinchens has not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The starting free safety does not appear to have progressed significantly in his recovery since last week's string of DNPs. Unless Kinchen can upgrade his practice participation to at least limited by Friday, he will likely be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Tomlinson (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Tomlinson is expected to miss some game action after hurting his hamstring during Sunday's loss versus the Raiders, so his absence from Wednesday's practice doesn't come as a surprise. Unless he returns to practice ahead of schedule later in the week, he's trending toward being unavailable in Week 3.

Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's estimated practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Landman logged limited sessions in the lead-up to the Rams' Week 2 win over the Giants. The linebacker was able to play through a shoulder injury in the contest, logging seven tackles (three solo) over 49 defensive snaps. Landman is set to undergo a similar process in Week 3 and will likely remain limited all week before avoiding an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos anyway.

Parrish (back) was full participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.

Parrish was unable to play in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns due to a back injury that he suffered Week 1 versus Cincinnati. The cornerback now appears to be back to full health, and he is on track to return to action against Minnesota in Week 3.

Molden (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Molden was forced to miss Sunday's loss versus the Raiders due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1 versus the Cardinals, and now his status for Week 3 is also in question. He'll likely need to manage at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday to give himself an opportunity to suit up Sunday at Buffalo.

Whittington (quadriceps) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Whittington has failed to practice since sustaining a quadriceps injury during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. The wide receiver has missed four consecutive practices and appears no closer to suiting up for the team's Week 3 showdown with the Broncos on Sunday.

James (finger) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

James was also marked with a "rest" designation on the official injury report Wednesday, so his absence may not be an indicator he's at risk of missing game action in Week 3. He suffered a broken pinky finger in Sunday's loss versus the Raiders, and the Chargers' official injury reports Thursday and Friday should provide some clarity on whether he'll be able to play through that Sunday at Buffalo.

Bain (groin) was a non-participant at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.

Bain recorded no stats while playing 35 defensive snaps in the team's 23-19 loss to Cleveland in Week 2, but he may have picked up a groin injury along the way. The 22-year-old will have two more opportunities to return to practice prior to Sunday's contest versus Minnesota.

Trotter (shoulder) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Wednesday.

Trotter is coming off of a 13-tackle performance in the team's 23-19 loss against the Browns on Sunday, and he may have suffered a shoulder injury during the game. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice prior to the team's Week 3 matchup with Minnesota.
