Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday there is "good news on a lot of those guys" when asked about WR Rashid Shaheed (knee), DT Leonard Williams, DE Uchenna Nwosu and OT Charles Cross. Macdonald said some of them will be able to get some work in on Wednesday, as the team won't go full-speed in practice. He said no one has been ruled out or in for Sunday's Week 10 game at the Raiders. Shaheed and Williams both missed last Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) will travel with the team to Germany for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Lions, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Wednesday. Vrabel added that just because players travel doesn't necessarily mean they will play, but the decision gives Brown a chance to suit up. Brown was ruled out for last Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers.

Colts HC Shane Steichen, asked whether WR Alec Pierce (heel) has a chance to return this season, would not commit to one. "We'll see. Like I said last week, he's still in that rehab process, and I'm not going to put a timetable on return," Steichen said. Pierce remains on injured reserve.

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday, which was a rest day. Burks is expected to play Thursday night against the Giants. He was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

Browns WR Denzel Boston is not expected to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury.
| Footballguys view: Toe injuries can linger, and they need time to heal. Boston caught 6-of-7 targets for 98 yards in the Browns' Week 9 loss to the Saints. He did that with Shedeur Sanders under center, and now Deshaun Watson is back as the Browns' starter. If Boston is able to play against the Texans on Sunday, we like him as a flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

The Rams did not add a wide receiver before Tuesday's trade deadline, a day after head coach Sean McVay said WR Puka Nacua will likely be placed on injured reserve with PCL and MCL injuries to his right knee plus turf toe from Sunday's game against Washington. Rams WR Jordan Whittington was activated after the deadline. With Nacua out and WR Davante Adams not likely to return until the end of the month, QB Matthew Stafford's receiving corps will feature Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and Whittington, along with the team's tight ends.

The Rams made no trades before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline despite losing WRs Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, DT Poona Ford to a season-ending triceps injury and CB Jaylen Watson to shoulder surgery. Los Angeles was limited by its salary cap space and has only four selections in the 2027 NFL Draft. Instead, the Rams brought back WR Xavier Smith, signing him off the 49ers' practice squad, leaving QB Matthew Stafford throwing to a receiving corps featuring Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield and rookie CJ Daniels. WR Josh Downs, a reported Rams target, was traded to the Chiefs.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs is expected to return from injured reserve "in the near future."
| Footballguys view: Doubs is eligible to come back after New England's Week 10 game against the Lions on Sunday. It's not yet clear he will do so, however. He was placed on injured reserve in October with a shoulder injury. We'll be watching to see if his practice window is open this week, which would be the first step in his return. |

The Colts are trading WR Josh Downs to the Chiefs, a trade NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported. Kansas City sends fourth- and fifth-round picks to Indianapolis in exchange for Downs and a seventh-round pick, according to a source. The Chiefs had said they "will explore what's available" at wide receiver.
| Footballguys view: Downs, who recently requested a trade, got his wish. In his fourth season, Downs has caught 33 passes for 354 yards so far in 2026. He had 58 catches for 566 yards with four touchdowns in 16 games last year. The Chiefs have been looking for more depth at receiver and now have a new weapon in Downs. He could also play 18 games, as the Chiefs have already had their bye while the Colts don't have theirs until Week 13. |

The reporter does not "get any sense the Cowboys are interested in moving" WR George Pickens before the trade deadline. Teams have been curious and "maybe a big offer is to come," but it "seems like Dallas will hold on to Pickens," who is slated to be a free agent after the season.

Commanders WR Stefon Diggs has emerged as a possible trade target for the Rams, who are exploring wide receiver options ahead of the trade deadline with WR Davante Adams on injured reserve and WR Puka Nacua expected to miss at least four games with multiple knee ligament injuries. With Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. off the trade block, the Rams may pivot to Diggs. The 32-year-old Diggs has 30 receptions for 303 yards and five touchdowns this season, and his incentive-heavy contract reportedly means an acquiring team would assume approximately $2.5 million in salary-cap obligations for the rest of the season. The Rams have limited draft capital after several offseason moves.

The Colts traded WR Keenan Allen to the 49ers on Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported. Indianapolis is receiving a sixth-round pick in return. Allen, a 14th-year veteran, had been a starter in the Colts receiver corps.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers wide receiver corps has been hit hard by injuries this season. WR Mike Evans (Achilles/ribs) has missed the last two games; WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring) has missed the last three; WR Christian Kirk (meniscus) is on injured reserve; rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) is on IR and targeting a return in December; and WR Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is out for the season. Allen enters the fray as an experienced, productive veteran capable of putting up solid numbers. A Week 10 matchup against the Cowboys is appealing, but it's not clear how involved Allen will be in this one. |

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk passed his physical on Monday and was officially reinstated, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The next step is Aiyuk hoping for a release from San Francisco, and at least one NFC team has internally discussed the possibility of adding him to its practice squad if and when that happens. |

49ers WR Mike Evans missed Sunday's win over the Raiders with Achilles tendinitis, which could keep him out for weeks. The 49ers visit the Cowboys in Week 10.
| Footballguys view: Evans hasn't played since Week 6, and he definitely won't practice to start the week. "Mike, not expecting him to be ready to go," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Wednesday's practice. "We'll see how he is later in the week." Sounds like expecting Evans to play this week is a reach, but we'll follow up as needed. |

The Bills placed WR Joshua Palmer on injured reserve on Monday with a hamstring injury suffered in their Week 8 win over the Ravens; he could be back after Thanksgiving.
| Footballguys view: The Bills elevated WR Trent Sherfield for Monday night's game at the Vikings, and rookie WR Skyler Bell is in line to see more snaps. WR Tyrell Shavers and S Jordan Hancock are practicing on their way back from IR, and one of them will likely take Palmer's roster spot, though Sherfield is also a candidate to join the 53-man roster. Palmer has four catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns this season. |

Rams WR Puka Nacua is likely to go on injured reserve with an MCL/PCL sprain and turf toe, head coach Sean McVay said on Monday. Nacua underwent an MRI on his knee after Sunday's win over the Commanders, when the team did not believe his ACL was torn.
| Footballguys view: With Davante Adams unlikely to return from his hamstring injury before Week 13, Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, Jordan Whittington, and rookie CJ Daniels are the remaining healthy receivers on the roster. |

Commanders WR Treylon Burks (foot) would not have participated if the team had practiced on Monday, according to the team's estimated practice report. Washington held a walkthrough instead.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders will hold another walkthrough on Tuesday before practicing Wednesday, which Post staffer Tashan Reed called "the big day to watch" ahead of Thursday's Week 10 game at the Giants. |

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that WR Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is "getting close" to returning, Nick Farabaugh reported. McCarthy did not give a definitive answer on whether Pittman would be available for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bengals. Pittman stayed in Pittsburgh and continued rehabbing at the team's facility through Friday. Pittman, acquired from the Colts in the offseason, is on injured reserve with the foot injury.

Cowboys WR George Pickens (hamstring) will go through the same process as last week before the team determines whether he can play Sunday against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Pickens, who was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Colts, was previously bothered by a shoulder issue. Now the hamstring is the problem. Ryan Flournoy moves up in the rotation if Pickens can't play this week. |

The Bills placed WR Joshua Palmer on injured reserve on Monday ahead of Monday night's Week 9 game against the Vikings.
| Footballguys view: Palmer missed the entire week of practice with a hamstring injury and will now miss at least four games. Buffalo elevated WR Trent Sherfield Sr. and S Geno Stone from the practice squad for Monday's game. |
