Ezekiel Elliott, Aldon Smith Limited Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hamstring) and defensive end Aldon Smith (knee) were both limited participants in practice on Wednesday.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (groin) didn't take part in practice on Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King (quadriceps) and safeties Will Redmond (shoulder) and Vernon Scott (shoulder) have been ruled out for Thursday night against the 49ers.

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Donte Moncrief and defensive lineman Ryan Glasgow to their practice squad on Wednesday.

The Houston Texans are signing veteran quarterback Josh McCown on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney.

Aaron Jones Listed As Questionable For Thursday

The Green Bay Packers are listing running back Aaron Jones (calf) as questionable for the Thursday night game against the 49ers.

Lions Place Matthew Stafford On COVID-19 List

The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have placed quarterback Matthew Stafford on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) was essentially a full participant in the team's walk-through practice on Wednesday while wearing a cast on his left hand.
