Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Reed will require season-ending surgery on his neck, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The Packers are expected to formally place Reed on injured reserve later Wednesday to open up a spot on the 53-man roster. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, LaFleur said that he doesn't believe the neck injury that Reed sustained in the Packers' Week 2 win over the Jets is career-threatening, but it's unclear what sort of timeline he might be facing for his recovery. LaFleur indicated that with Reed lost for the season, Skyy Moore -- who recorded three catches for 31 yards on seven targets in the Week 3 loss to Atlanta -- is the next man up to serve as the Packers' No. 3 wideout behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, per Ryan Wood of USA Today.

Sadiq (undisclosed) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear if Sadiq suffered an injury last Sunday against Detroit or if this is related to his offseason hernia surgery. Coming off a big Week 3 in which he posted a 7-105-1 receiving line on eight targets versus the Lions, Sadiq is poised for a significant pass-catching role Sunday against the Bears as long as he's healthy.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Mitchell (finger) won't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Mitchell sat out the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3 due to the finger injury, and his absence to begin Week 4 prep in addition to Glenn classifying him as week-to-week rather than day-to-day suggests that the receiver is trending toward another absence this Sunday versus the Bears. If Mitchell ends up sitting out a second straight game, Isaiah Williams would be in store for another elevated snap count as the Jets' No. 2 wideout behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Hall (thigh) won't practice Wednesday and confirmed the running back is being viewed as week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that an MRI on the quad injury Hall sustained in Sunday's loss to the Lions wasn't as significant as the Jets had feared, the running back appears likely to miss at least one game. Unless Hall is able to fit in some practice activity Thursday or Friday, the Jets will likely officially rule him out ahead of Sunday's contest in Chicago. Hall's expected absence would clear the way for Braelon Allen to serve as the Jets' lead option on the ground, while Isaiah Davis would likely be in store for added work in a change-of-pace role.

Taylor (thumb) will not practice Wednesday and remains week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Taylor appears set to miss a second straight game Sunday against the Bears. With Taylor out last Sunday against the Lions, first-round rookie Kenyon Sadiq played a season-high 57.6 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps and posted a 7-105-1 receiving line on eight targets. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) also week-to-week for Gang Green, Sadiq has a path to once again play a prominent pass-catching role versus Chicago.

Edwards (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Edwards was injured in Sunday's game against the Colts, and the 32-year-old will soon be headed to injured reserve. In three games this season, Edwards recorded six tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, as a rotational defensive lineman for Houston.

The Packers are expected to place Reed (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reed remains without a clear timeline for a return after sustaining a neck injury in the Packers' Week 2 win over the Jets that resulted in a brief stay in the hospital, but his impending move to IR ensures that he'll remain out for at least Green Bay's next four games. With Reed out indefinitely, second-year player Matthew Golden should be further insulated as the Packers' No. 2 receiver, while the likes of Skyy Moore, Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant should see more involvement in three- and four-wide sets.

The Panthers signed Moore off the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

With Xavier Legette (knee) missing last Sunday's loss to the Browns, Moore was elevated from the practice squad for his 2026 debut in Week 3. Now that Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is also dinged up, Moore gets a spot on the 53-man roster after playing five offensive snaps and another 13 on special teams against Cleveland.

The Panthers signed Tyus from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

The 23-year-old running back made his regular-season NFL debut in Sunday's loss to the Browns, logging 14 snaps on special teams. He returned a pair of kicks for 47 yards and will now slot in behind Chuba Hubbard and AJ Dillon on the backfield depth chart.

The Panthers placed Jackson (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Jackson was injured in Sunday's loss to the Browns, and will now miss at least the next four weeks. Carolina's secondary took a number of big hits in the injury department versus Cleveland, as Jaycee Horn suffered a torn quadriceps and will be out 6-to-12 weeks. Will Lee, Akayleb Evans and Chau Smith-Wade will handle cornerback duties for the foreseeable future.
