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.

The 49ers opened Williams' (knee) 21-day practice window Wednesday to return from the reserve/PUP list, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Williams spent his first practice back with the 49ers as a limited participant. The team has until Oct. 21. to add the linebacker to the 53-man roster, or he will remain on the reserve/PUP list for the remainder of the 2026 season. Williams is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in November 2025 but could suit up for game day as soon as Week 5.

Delpit (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

Delpit was able to play through a shoulder issue during the Browns' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday, and the seventh-year pro will do the same for Thursday's AFC North clash. He's played every single defensive snap through three regular-season games, accumulating 12 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks and one pass defense in that span.

Alie-Cox (illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

The nature of Alie-Cox's ailment is unknown, so it's not clear whether his availability for Week 4 is in any jeopardy. If he can return to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll put himself in a good position to suit up Sunday at Washington.

Smith missed Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury.

Smith also kicked off last week with a DNP on the Eagles' first practice report due to a hamstring issue, only to progress to full and no designation ahead of Monday's road matchup with the Bears. In the end, though, his status bears watching in the coming days to ensure he's also good to go for Sunday's contest against the Rams.
