Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price was limited in practice Wednesday due to a chest issue. Price logged career lows in snap share and touches during Sunday's loss at Washington following a costly first-quarter fumble—his second lost fumble in two weeks. He must improve ball security and health to reclaim a larger role alongside Emanuel Wilson.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert sat out Wednesday's walkthrough due to an MCL sprain in his right knee. Having already missed one game, Goedert will likely trend toward further absences. Johnny Mundt, Zach Ertz, and E.J. Jenkins are expected to split tight end reps in his continued absence.
Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun missed Wednesday's walkthrough due to a concussion. Having played 66 of 72 defensive snaps in Monday night's loss to the Bears, the short week leaves him with less time to clear concussion protocol before facing the Rams. If unavailable, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. could start.
Denver Broncos outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman was the only player on the team not to participate in Wednesday's practice session, sidelined due to a hamstring issue. His status remains in doubt as the Broncos prepare for their upcoming Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. returned to full participation at Wednesday's practice. Mims has not played since Week 1 due to a foot injury, missing last week's game against the Rams despite limited practices. He is now on track for Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after previously being spotted wearing a walking boot following Sunday's win over the Rams. Head coach Sean Payton noted Waddle is doing great, and he is expected to play against San Francisco to build on his previous production.
Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald did not participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a sore back. Head coach Sean McVay stated the team is taking Donald's condition day-by-day and declined to comment on his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Donald's practice status over the next two days will determine his Week 4 availability.
Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. agreed to a four-year, $78 million contract extension containing $46.5 million guaranteed. Acquired from Chicago in August for Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick, Dexter has dominated through three weeks, piling up 14 pressures, a 20.5% quarterback pressure rate, and a half-sack while solidifying Atlanta's defensive line ahead of Week 4.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is under heavy scrutiny as early-season struggles mount under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Evaluators note Herbert looks overwhelmed, completing 59.1% of passes for 627 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions through three losses. Despite a 209-yard performance in a 24-16 loss to Buffalo featuring an interception by C.J. Gardner-Johnson, concerns remain over scheme fit, red-zone woes, and a stagnant running game.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury. McConkey previously managed a rib issue this season but has played in all three games, posting a 12-183-1 stat line on 15 targets. Friday's practice report will clarify whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against Seattle.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Brycen Tremayne could serve as the team's No. 2 receiver in Sunday's matchup against Detroit. With both Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) missing Wednesday's practice, Tremayne is positioned for increased snaps and targets in Carolina's passing attack as the team manages multiple injuries across its receiving corps.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette sat out Wednesday's practice session due to a knee injury after missing last week's game. Legette was sidelined alongside teammate Jalen Coker during walk-through estimations ahead of Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. His participation over the next two days will be critical in determining his availability for Sunday night's contest.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker sat out Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps strain sustained during Sunday's game against Cleveland. Although Coker reportedly avoided a major injury, he was limited to side-field work during walk-throughs and is unlikely to play against Detroit. Through three weeks, Coker has emerged as fantasy WR9 while working through ongoing ankle and quad issues.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman missed Wednesday's practice as he continues to manage an ankle injury. Coleman was listed as questionable before playing in Week 3 against the Chargers after practicing only on Friday. His status remains uncertain as Buffalo begins preparations for Sunday's AFC East matchup against the New England Patriots.
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Deone Walker was limited in Wednesday's practice session due to a quad injury. Walker has been a standout performer along Buffalo's defensive line during their 3-0 start. His practice participation over the next two days will be monitored closely as the Bills prepare for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New England Patriots.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. did not practice Wednesday due to right knee and right ankle injuries after hyperextending his knee against Baltimore. Ameer Speed and Caelen Carson stepped in to replace Revel. His potential absence further weakens a depleted Dallas secondary that is already missing Cobie Durant, Jalen Thompson, and P.J. Locke ahead of facing Houston.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Cobie Durant did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury and is not expected to play Sunday against the Houston Texans. Durant's absence further strains a heavily injured Cowboys secondary that is also managing injuries to Shavon Revel Jr., Jalen Thompson, and P.J. Locke, leaving depth cornerbacks Ameer Speed and Caelen Carson to take on expanded defensive roles.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday after missing the last two games with a strained hamstring. Head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed hope that Collins will play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Collins' progression through practice this week will determine his availability for Week 4 as the 0-3 Texans look to spark their passing game.
Wide receiver Dante Pettis rejoined the San Francisco 49ers practice squad, with head coach Kyle Shanahan dismissing past friction rumors. After previous stints with the Giants, Bears, and Bills, Pettis provides depth as receiver injuries mount, positioning him for a potential active roster elevation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II is set for an expanded role in the backfield following De'Von Achane's season-ending ACL tear. Gordon took on primary rushing duties in Week 3 and is expected to share work in a backfield committee with Jaylen Wright as Miami prepares to face Minnesota, aiming to boost an offense averaging a league-low 12 points per game.
