Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Charbonnet (knee) may take part in Thursday's practice, which would open a 21-day window in which he can be evaluated and eventually be activated from the reserve/PUP list, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the divisional round of the playoffs back on Jan. 17 and underwent surgery in February, but he's made quick work in his recovery and technically will be eligible to return as soon as Week 5 if his practice window is opened this week. More than likely, the Seahawks will take their time with Charbonnet once he's back on the practice field, but it appears as if he'll be able to suit up for games that matter sooner than later. In the meantime, Jadarian Price will continue to lead the Seahawks backfield, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani on hand for RB reps as well.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Evans (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Evans was laboring after taking a big hit from Cardinals safety Budda Baker in the second quarter of this past Sunday's win against Arizona, eventually being ruled out due to a rib injury. Afterward, Evans was diagnosed with a strained rib, but Shanahan also relayed to Vic Tafur of The Athletic on Wednesday that the wide receiver "may" practice later this week. Logging some on-field work Thursday and/or Friday seemingly will give Evans a chance to play Week 4 against the Broncos, but his upcoming availability remains up in the air.

Head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Jackson (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery and will be sidelined about eight weeks, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The Panthers are in a code-red situation at cornerback after both starters, Jackson and Jaycee Horn (quadriceps), suffered significant injuries against Cleveland in Week 3. Ahead of a date with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on national television Sunday night, Carolina will be relying on Will Lee, Akayleb Evans and Chau Smith-Wade to cover the snaps.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said that Jackson is dealing with "something small" and was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Jackson wasn't known to be nursing an injury during or coming out of this past Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cowboys in Brazil, as he played every snap in the contest while accounting for two touchdowns, 186 passing yards and 50 rushing yards in the victory. The Ravens will post their first Week 4 injury report later Wednesday, when the nature of Jackson's health concern will be revealed. Given Minter's comments, whatever issue Jackson is dealing with isn't expected to keep him from playing Sunday versus the Titans.

Thompson (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Thompson didn't practice last week and missed Sunday's loss against the Bills. With the rookie sidelined last week, Marquez Valdes-Scantling played three offensive snaps as the lightly-used fourth receiver behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris.

Legette (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Coach Dave Canales labeled Legette as week-to-week headed into Sunday night's game against the Lions. With Jalen Coker (quad) also dinged up, the Panthers could again be looking at giving Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie considerable playing time alongside Tetairoa McMillan in Detroit. Legette has a 2-64-0 receiving line on six targets across two games this season.

Coach Ben Johnson said Williams is "getting better every singly day" but won't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Williams exited a Week 2 loss to the Vikings in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury. He was considered week-to-week by Johnson afterward and then didn't practice at all before being ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles. On Sunday, Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport of ESPN reported that Williams was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, which is considered to be a 3-to-4-week injury. Johnson told Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com on Wednesday that "the direction has already been made" as it pertains to a Week 4 starting QB this Sunday versus the Jets, but who that may be between Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent isn't known.

Kolar (forearm) is not practicing Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Kolar remains unlikely to play Sunday against the Seahawks, as he continues his recovery from a broken forearm, which he suffered in Week 2. Oronde Gadsden, Hayden Rucci and Patrick Herbert handled tight-end duties against the Bills last Sunday.

Ramsey (wrist) is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Ramsey was limited in practice all week after suffering the injury last Sunday against the Bengals. Rayshawn Jenkins would become an every-down safety with Daylen Everette and Brandin Echols (concussion) seeing increased reps in the secondary if Ramsey is unable to play.

Porter (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Porter had previously been listed on the Steelers' Week 4 injury report due to conditioning, but he may have had his back flare up on him during Wednesday's practice. He turned in a full practice Tuesday, but he downgraded to limited participation a day later. As a result, Porter's 2026 debut will be delayed at least another week. The Steelers will lean on Jamel Dean, Asante Samuel and Daylen Everette as their primary options at the outside cornerback spots Thursday.
