Barmore (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Barmore sustained a shoulder injury during the Patriots' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars in Week 3, finishing with only two tackles (one solo) while playing a season-low 28 defensive snaps. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. If Barmore is not cleared to play, then Joshua Farmer and Jeremiah Pharms would both be in line for larger roles against Buffalo.

Conner (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Conner has still yet to make his regular-season debut in 2026 due to a knee injury he suffered before the campaign started, but it now looks like he's on track to do so in Week 4. He projects to start at safety next to free-agent acquisition Alohi Gilman on Sunday at Las Vegas.

Tracy (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters after Wednesday's session that Tracy is considered day-to-day and believes the knee injury isn't a serious matter. Tracy has mostly played on special teams this season, but if he's not cleared to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, then Devin Singletary -- who was a healthy scratch for Week 3 against the Titans -- would serve as the Giants' RB3 behind Cam Skattebo and Najee Harris.

Dugger (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

It's not immediately obvious, but Dugger might have sustained the quad injury at some point during Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. He'll likely need to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Week 4 versus the Jaguars.

Mitchell (ankle) was a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Mitchell was spotted with a walking boot on his left leg, and the Chargers updated their injury report to reflect the running back as limited Wednesday. Mitchell likely suffered the left ankle injury during Wednesday's session, but he didn't express much concern about the injury, and the running back will have two more chances this week to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks. If he is unavailable for Week 4, Kimani Vidal would serve as the top reserve option behind starter Omarion Hampton.

Allen (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Allen logged limited participation throughout the Jaguars' Week 3 prep practices and was ultimately cleared of any injury designation ahead of the team's Week 3 win over the Patriots. The No. 3 running back will likely prep the same way in Week 4 and once again be cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Goedert (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Goedert already has missed one game due to an MCL sprain in his right knee and likely will continue to trend toward absences in future weeks until he returns to the practice field in some capacity. In Monday's loss at Chicago, Johnny Mundt started in place of Goedert and logged 26 of 50 offensive snaps, which was followed by Zach Ertz's 19 and E.J. Jenkins' 13. A similar breakdown of TE reps is likely between the trio until Goedert is back in the lineup.

Reed (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Reed presumably picked up the injury during the Lions' 31-24 win over the Jets in Week 3, when he played 62 of 66 defensive snaps (93.9 percent) and finished with eight tackles (five solo) and one pass defense. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation to full and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road game against the Panthers.

Luvu (groin) was estimated as a limited participant on the Commanders' official injury report Wednesday.

Luvu has not been able to practice at all since straining his groin back in Week 1 at Philadelphia, but it looks like he may now be trending in the right direction. If he can actually practice Thursday or Friday, he'll at least have a chance to return to game action Sunday versus the Colts.

Wallace (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Steelers.

A knee injury prevented Wallace from practicing all week, so the sixth-year pro will observe Thursday's game from the sidelines, which means Isaiah Bond and Malachi Corley are both in line to see a slight uptick in offensive snaps. Wallace's next opportunity to play is Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11.
