Homer (calf) participated fully in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Homer practiced in full for the entire week leading up to Monday night's win over the Commanders, but he remained on injured reserve. It's unclear whether he'll be in line to return in Week 7 against the Saints, though his continued full practice participation is a positive sign.

Santos (thigh) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.

Santos was sidelined for Monday night's win over the Commanders, giving way to Jake Moody. Moody converted four of five field goals, including the game-winner, but coach Ben Johnson reiterated that Santos will retain his duties as the Bears' kicker when he's healthy, per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune.

Watkins (calf) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Watkins has missed the entire regular season up to this point as he's been recovering from a high ankle sprain, but it now looks like he's nearing a return to game action. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to a full practice before San Francisco releases its final practice report of the week Friday.

Parkinson (concussion) logged a full practice session Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Parkinson was sidelined for Sunday's game against the Ravens while recovering from a concussion. He reportedly cleared the league's protocol prior to the contest, though his ongoing presence on the injury report suggests otherwise.

Mingo (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Mingo's practice participation has been inconsistent since the Cowboys designated the 2023 second-rounder to return from injured reserve Oct. 1. He's opened the week with a limited session Wednesday, but he would give himself a better chance at being reinstated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders were he to practice in full over the next two days.

Davis (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Davis has missed the Chargers' last three games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 3 versus the Broncos, but his activity Wednesday signals he could have a chance to return in Week 7. If he can upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could even avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Calcaterra (oblique) didn't practice Wednesday.

Calcaterra suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter of a Week 5 loss to Denver and hasn't practiced since. Philadelphia last played on Thursday Night Football against the Giants, but even with the extra time between games, he's very much at risk of sitting out this Sunday's matchup in Minnesota. If that proves to be the case, Kylen Granson would likely work as the Eagles' No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.

Laube (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Laube hurt his hamstring in the second half of this past Sunday's win over Tennessee. His inability to practice in any capacity Wednesday doesn't bode well for his chance of suiting up in Week 7 against the Chiefs, though Laube will have two more opportunities to participate in some capacity before the Raiders dole out injury designations Friday. If Laube can't play against Kansas City, Zamir White, who was a healthy scratch in Week 6, could be active as Las Vegas' No. 3 running back.

Moore (hip/groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

During Monday's 25-24 win at Washington, Moore paid a visit to the sideline tent but played through whatever was bothering him, logging 60 of 64 offensive snaps (94 percent) and hauling in three of five targets for 42 yards and two carries for 10 yards. Afterward, he was admitted to a local hospital for a precautionary medical evaluation, and coach Ben Johnson relayed to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network on Tuesday that Moore was dealing with a groin injury. The Bears listed hip and groin issues as the reasons for Moore's DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough, so his status bears watching in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.

The Chiefs signed Brownlee to their practice squad Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brownlee had been on Kansas City's active roster until he was waived Monday. Rather than explore an opportunity elsewhere, the 26-year-old wideout is returning to the Chiefs as a member of the practice squad. Brownlee has played in five of the team's six games so far this season but has drawn just one target on offense while doing most of his work on special teams.
