Schultz (back/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

While logging a 75 percent snap share in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks, Schultz racked up nine catches on 10 targets for a team-high 98 yards. However, with the tight end managing a pair of injuries, his status will need to be monitored ahead of this weekend's contest against the 49ers. If Schultz is available, he could remain busy in Week 8, with WRs Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both banged up and having missed Wednesday's practice.

Seattle released Saubert on Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Per Henderson, the move is believed to be purely procedural, and the Seahawks are expected to sign Saubert again soon. Through seven games so far this season, he's drawn just one target over 145 offensive snaps.

Smartt did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.

Smartt served exclusively on special teams during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Panthers, and he appears to have picked up a quad injury in the process. He'll have two more opportunities to practice and avoid an injury tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Nwangwu (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Nwangwu was diagnosed with a concussion during the Jets' 13-6 loss to the Panthers in Week 7. He's opened the week with a DNP, and even if he were to practice, he would have to progress through the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play against the Bengals on Sunday. Isaiah Williams would likely serve as the Jets' primary returner on kickoffs if Nwangwu were to miss time.

Johnson was a non-participant in practice Wednesday due to a back injury.

This is the first word of Johnson dealing with an injury, though he may have picked it up in Sunday's win over New Orleans. The veteran running back has had minimal usage on offense with just four snaps so far this season, though he's a regular contributor on special teams. Should Johnson be sidelined for Week 8 against Baltimore on Sunday, Travis Homer would likely work as Chicago's No. 3 RB behind D'Andre Swift (groin) and Kyle Monangai.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, but he's on track to play this Sunday against the Giants, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

A return to practice Thursday would support the notion that Brown's hamstring injury is minor. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.

Jones (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones was cleared of a rib injury to play in the Bengals' Week 7 win over the Steelers, when he played two snaps on special teams and recorded a fair catch on a punt. He's still nursing the injury, but a full practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track toward being available for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Hudson (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Hudson's limited session Wednesday is a positive sign, given that he wasn't able to practice during Week 7 prep while in the league's concussion protocol. The next step for the seventh-year tight end would be to log a full practice, which would get him closer to clearing the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Goedert was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury.

It's a new injury, though likely not a major one, with Goedert managing a limited practice on a day when four other starters were held out. WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) was one of those starters, which means Philadelphia's subsequent injury reports will need to be monitored. Brown didn't have much production in 2025 prior to Sunday's win over Minnesota, but he's leading the Eagles in targets again, with his 7.3 per game accounting for 27.4 percent of the team total. Goedert, meanwhile, has accounted for 21.7 percent of Philadelphia's targets in his six active games, averaging a career-high 6.0 targets per contest even after a quiet Week 7 with just 18 yards on three looks.

Brown missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

It's the first time this season he's missed practice due to an injury. There was no sign of trouble in Sunday's win at Minnesota, with Brown catching four passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns while playing 92 percent of snaps and handling a 100 percent route share.
