Jaylen Waddle Puts In A Full Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer and Donald Parham Jr. are out of the league's concussion protocol.

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) is listed on the Week 9 injury report and was given a limited tag in practice on Wednesday.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (wrist) is listed as questionable to face the undefeated Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night to kick off Week 9 action.

Nico Collins Ruled Out For Thursday Night
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) has officially been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) won't practice again this week due to his right shoulder injury.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) remains out of practice on Wednesday.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that caused him to miss two games already this year.

As expected, the Washington Commanders designated defensive end Chase Young (knee) to return to practice off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday.

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (knee) won't be on the practice field on Wednesday.
