Kelly suffered a foot injury
midway through training camp and had to undergo a medical procedure
in August. He missed the remainder of training camp and the
preseason while also being sidelined for the first four games of the
season. "(He's) going to have to knock some rust off just like
(cornerback) Vontae (Davis)," the Colts coach said Wednesday.
"There's going to be some moments, I guarantee you."
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - * Free Agents Doyle, Derrick
TE Jack Doyle (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol.
He was hurt in the second half of Sunday night's game at Seattle.
Doyle wore a red non-contact jersey during Wednesday's practice. He
was limited in Wednesday's practice.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Wilson, *Quincy
CB Quincy Wilson (knee) was limited during Wednesday's practice.
Wilson's availability for the San Francisco game won't be known
until after Friday's workout. He could be a game-time decision.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Rogers, Chester
WR Chester Rogers (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Rogers has
been sidelined since early in training camp. He suffered a setback
two weeks ago.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Mack, *Marlon
RB Marlon Mack (shoulder) fully participated in Wednesday's workout.
Mack has missed the last two games but is expected to play Sunday
against the 49ers.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Walker Jr., *Anthony
ILB Anthony Walker (hamstring) was a full participant Wednesday in
practice. Walker has been sidelined for three weeks as he went
through rehab for his hamstring injury.
He will probably be a game-time decision on Sunday.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Milton, Chris
CB Chris Milton (hamstring) had a full practice Wednesday. Milton
has been nursing a sore hamstring for the past couple of weeks. He
should be good to go for Sunday's home game with San Francisco.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Farley, Matthias
S Matthias Farley (quad) was held out of Wednesday's workout. Farley
is expected to return for workouts later in the week and be
available to play Sunday.
But a final decision will be made after Friday's practice.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Hairston, Nate
CB Nate Hairston (quad) sat out Wednesday's practice session.
Hairston will most likely play Sunday. No decision on his
availability will be made until Friday.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - * Free Agents Melvin, Anthony
CB Rashaan Melvin (hamstring) was limited during Wednesday's
workout. Melvin, though, will most likely start Sunday's home game
with the 49ers.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Indianapolis Colts Bond, Deyshawn
C Deyshawn Bond will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn
quad tendon. Bond was injured in the first half of the Seahawks game
Sunday night.
He had started the Colts first four games as he filled in for Ryan
Kelly. "It's unfortunate," head coach Pagano said. "Young guy came
in and did a great job in Kelly's absence."
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Washington Redskins Crowder, Jamison
WR Jamison Crowder was targeted just one time by quarterback Kirk
Cousins in Monday's 29-20 loss to Kansas City.
That's the fewest in a game for Crowder since his rookie year in
2015 and it's only happened to him four previous times. Crowder has
14 catches through four games.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Washington Redskins Thompson, Chris
RB Chris Thompson was a limited factor in Monday's 29-20 loss to
Kansas City. But through four games, Thompson still ranks sixth in
the NFL in total yardage (411).
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Washington Redskins Grant, Ryan
WR Ryan Grant has already topped his receptions total for all of
last season (nine) with 10 catches in four games.
Grant, now in his fourth year, has also matched his career best in
touchdowns (two) through four weeks. He is on pace to top the 23
receptions he had in 2015.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Lee, Marqise
WR Marqise Lee did not practice on Wednesday due to a rib injury
from Sunday's game.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Linder, Brandon
C Brandon Linder missed Wednesday's practice due to illness.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Cann, A.J.
RG A.J. Cann was limited in practice on Wednesday due to the hand
injury he suffered in Sunday's game against the Jets.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Fournette, *Leonard
RB Leonard Fournette saw limited action on Wednesday after suffering
an ankle injury late in the game against the Jets.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Jackson, Malik
DT Malik Jackson played 64 of 70 snaps against the Jets. He was
limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Campbell, Calais
DE Calais Campbell continues to play well for the Jaguars. He also
played all but six snaps against the Jets and finished with six
tackles and another sack. He now has 5.5 sacks in four.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Washington Redskins Smith, Alex
QB Alex Smith appeared on the team's injury report Wednesday with an
ankle injury, although he was a full participant in practice.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Kansas City Chiefs Duvernay-Tardif, Laurent
RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif suffered a sprained knee during the
team's 29-20 win over Washington Monday night.
He did not practice Wednesday, but head coach Andy Reid described
the injury as day-to-day. Duvernay-Tardif appeared in the locker
room limping with the aid of a crutch and wearing a knee brace. OL
Jordan Devey took his place along the offensive line Monday, but
Reid said he continues considering his options for this Sunday
night's game against the Houston Texans.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Kansas City Chiefs Morse, Mitch
C Mitch Morse missed his second straight game with a sprained foot,
and did not practice Wednesday. His availability against the Texans
remains in doubt.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Kansas City Chiefs Ehinger, Parker
LG Parker Ehinger continued practicing in full with the team as he
recovers from a torn ACL sustained last October.
Head coach Andy Reid indicated that Ehinger is close to returning,
and his return this week would add a boost to an offensive line
currently battling a series of injuries among its starters.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Kansas City Chiefs Fisher, Eric
LT Eric Fisher played against Washington after missing practice all
of last week with back spasms. Coach Andy Reid said he thought
Fisher played well against the Redskins, with several key blocks.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Kansas City Chiefs Logan, Bennie
DT Bennie Logan continues receiving occasional rest in practice
while he battles swelling in his knee.
The swelling has not kept him out of any regular-season games,
however, but expect the veteran defensive tackle to take practices
off as he battles the issue.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Oakland Raiders Amerson, David
CB David Amerson was limited with a concussion and has yet been
cleared to play.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Ngakoue, *Yannick
DE Yannick Ngakoue had two more sacks to raise his year's total to
four, good for a tie for third among AFC defenders.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Myers, Jason
K Jason Myers has had 20 of his 24 kickoffs go into the end zone for
a touchback, his 83.3 percentage ranking second best in the NFL.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Jacksonville Jaguars Nortman, Brad
P Brad Nortman ranks sixth in the NFL with a 47.2 gross punting
average. A year ago, Nortman finished with a 46.6 average, third
best in franchise history.
-----------------------------------------------

WR Michael Crabtree, who missed the Denver game with a bruised lung,
was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

RB DeAndre Washington did not practice Wednesday with a hamstring
injury.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Los Angeles Chargers Tuerk, Max
OL Max Tuerk, a third-round pick in 2016, was waived. Tuerk, who was
suspended for the first four games for PED use, is among general
manager Tom Telesco's biggest misses. Tuerk never played a snap.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Los Angeles Chargers Feeney, Dan
G Dan Feeney, a rookie who had a rough start, is expected to see
more playing time at guard.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Hyde, Carlos
RB Carlos Hyde (strained hip) was limited in practice Wednesday, but
barring a setback almost surely will play Sunday against
Indianapolis.
Hyde received the same precautionary treatment last week leading
into the Arizona game, then got 16 carries in the loss.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Goodwin, Marquise
WR Marquise Goodwin (concussion) remained in the NFL's protocol
Wednesday, although he was able to observe the 49ers' initial
preparations for this week's game at Indianapolis.
He remains questionable for the game.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Watson, Dekoda
OLB Dekoda Watson (strained groin) was unable to practice Wednesday
as the 49ers began preparations for this week's game at
Indianapolis. Watson is unlikely to make the trip.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - * Free Agents Tye, Will
TE Will Tye was released on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was inactive
for Sunday's win over the Jaguars because Eric Tomlinson returned
from an elbow injury.
Tye caught four passes for 38 yards in the first two games of the
season.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - New York Jets Donahue, Dylan
OLB Dylan Donahue, who injured an elbow in Sunday's game while
blocking for Jeremy Kerley's nine-yard punt return that helped set
up the winning field goal, will have season-ending surgery.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - New York Jets McCown, Josh
QB Josh McCown (right shoulder) appeared on the injury report
Wednesday but was a full participant in practice.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - * Free Agents Murphy, Marcus

-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - New York Jets Wilkerson, Muhammad
DE Muhammad Wilkerson (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's
practice.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - New York Jets Thomas, Lawrence
DE Lawrence Thomas, who has played some fullback this season (and
even caught a pass against Miami), has changed his number from 97 to
44.
That means he won't have to be announced as eligible every time he
plays offense. Newly signed Ed Stinson has taken No. 97.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Colbert, Adrian
FS Adrian Colbert (strained hamstring) was held out of Wednesday's
practice. He is unlikely to travel with the team for Sunday's game
at Indianapolis.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Pinion, Bradley
P Bradley Pinion ranks just 19th in the NFL in punting average at
45.2 yards per kick, but that number is skewed by his 10 kicks that
have pinned the opponent inside their 20.
Only Dallas' Chris Jones (11) has had more kicks downed inside the
20, and it has affected his average, too (44.2). Pinion is one of
just 12 punters in the league who has yet to record a touchback.
-----------------------------------------------

beat the 49ers was his first career TD in overtime in a
regular-season game.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Arizona Cardinals Palmer, Carson
QB Carson Palmer threw 51 passes in the Cardinals' win over the
49ers.
Dating to 1940, the Cardinals attempted 50 passes in a game 30 times

attempting 50 or more passes.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Arizona Cardinals Humphries, D.J.
LT D.J. Humphries (knee) did not practice on Wednesday and isn't

-----------------------------------------------

DT Robert Nkemdiche (calf strain) did not practice on Wednesday.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Arizona Cardinals Branch, Tyvon
S Tyvon Branch ranks fourth in the league in tackles with 39. He
missed most of last season following surgery to repair a core muscle
injury.
"Tyvon, being healthy, has been fantastic," head coach Bruce Arians
said. "He's probably the most consistent player we have on defense
right now.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Arizona Cardinals Fitzgerald, Larry
WR Larry Fitzgerald has caught a pass in 199 consecutive
regular-season games and can hit the 200 milestone on Sunday at the
Eagles.
Jerry Rice holds the NFL record with 274 straight games with at
least one receptions, which he set from 1985-2004. Tony Gonzalez is
second with a streak of 211 such games, which he accomplished from
2000-2013.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Arizona Cardinals Palmer, Carson
QB Carson Palmer's 290 career touchdown passes are tied with Hall of
Famer Johnny Unitas for 13th place on the NFL's all-time list.

Warren Moon (291) for 12th place.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Wentz, Carson

four games with a 107.2 passer rating. That's more than 40 points
better than a year ago when he finished 28th in the NFL.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - * Free Agents Cox, Aaron
DT Fletcher Cox, who missed Sunday's game with a calf injury, didn't
practice Wednesday, but the Eagles remain hopeful that he might be
able to play this week against Arizona.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Darby, Ronald
CB Ronald Darby could be back for the Eagles' Week 7 game against
Washington. Darby has been sidelined since Week 1 with a dislocated
ankle.
"He's getting there," head coach Doug Pederson said. (The seventh
game) is kind of the target deadline if there is one. But I'm not
going to hold it as a hard deadline and put him in a box."
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Graham, Corey
S Corey Graham, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring
injury, was a limited practice participant Wednesday. It's possible
he could return Sunday against Arizona.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Jernigan, Timmy

Wednesday. But head coach Doug Pederson said it's not serious enough
to keep him out of Sunday's game against Arizona.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Watkins, Jaylen

was his first action since injuring his hamstring in Week 2. There
is a possibility he may play this week.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Smallwood, *Wendell
RB Wendell Smallwood didn't practice Wednesday. He was listed on the
injury report with a knee problem.
Head coach Doug Pederson met with reporters before practice, listed

-----------------------------------------------

CB Tye Smith suffered a neck injury during a collision in practice
on Wednesday and did not return to action.

-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Denver Broncos Lynch, *Paxton

injury.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Denver Broncos Charles, Jamaal

Raiders. Jordan Taylor played in his place.
-----------------------------------------------

Week 8 game against the Chiefs. Ray has been on injured reserve
since the start of the regular season because of torn wrist
ligaments.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Denver Broncos Anderson, C.J.

the league rankings.
-----------------------------------------------

247 receiving yards for the season. That puts him on pace for 988
yards. He has broken 1,000 yards every season since 2012.
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Green Bay Packers Montgomery, Ty
RB Ty Montgomery said on Wednesday he is not sure he will play
against Dallas on Sunday after suffering multiple broken ribs last
week. Montgomery said there's a chance he could play, but for that
to happen, the Packers' medical team must devise a plan to protect
Montgomery's left ribs and prevent further injury. "I'm going to
continue to get treatment," Montgomery said. "We're going to talk
about a plan as far as what type of protection I can wear.
Obviously, there are rib cages and flak jackets. We're going to talk
about it."
-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Green Bay Packers Adams, Davante
WR Davante Adams (concussion) was a limited participant in

-----------------------------------------------
NFL Note - Green Bay Packers Randall, Damarious
CB Damarious Randall was benched and sent to the locker room by

fits in the cornerback rotation remains to be seen.
