- Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne 'pushing,' works limited Wednesday at practice
The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without running back Travis Etienne for a second straight week.
Etienne suffered a hamstring injury during the team's loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 6 and did not suit up last week against the New England Patriots . He's also been dealing with a shoulder injury that impacted his usage against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5.

"I feel like it's going good. I feel like it could be this week, could be next week," Etienne said in the locker room Wednesday when asked how he feels he's progressing from his hamstring injury. "I feel like I have to keep pushing it, keep seeing where I'm at, keep seeing how far I can go without aggravating anything."

In Etienne's absence, Tank Bigsby had the best game of his career. He rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries, all career-highs for the second-year back. This season, Bigsby has rushed for 415 yards on 67 carries (6.2 yards per carry) and four touchdowns.
In addition to Etienne, the Jaguars listed several players that appeared on the injury report last week. That includes DE Arik Armstead (shoulder), WR Gabe Davis (knee) and TE Evan Engram (hamstring).
Two new additions this week were DT Esezi Otomewo (calf) and OL Cam Robinson (concussion). Robinson left Sunday's game against the Patriots and was quickly ruled out.

Packers Wednesday injury report vs. Jaguars: Devonte Wyatt returns to practice
Devonte Wyatt #95 of the Green Bay Packers celebrates against the Tennessee Titans during the fourth quarter at Nissan Stadium on September 22, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Green Bay is dealing with a slew of injuries this week, but one positive in Wednesday's report was the return of defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt. Wyatt practiced "limited" with an ankle injury that had sidelined him since the end of the team's Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings .

Wyatt told The Athletic's Matt Schneidman that he should be able to suit up on Sunday.
Linebacker Quay Walker (concussion) did not practice Wednesday and could be a player to watch as the week progresses.
Star cornerback Jaire Alexander was limited with a groin injury. Alexander played last week with the same injury, so it could be a precautionary on Green Bay's part.
A number of Green Bay's injuries track with last week's and we won't get a clear picture until Friday.
Packers full Wednesday injury report: Alexander(groin, limited), CB Corey Ballentine (ankle, DNP), DL Kenny Clark (toe, limited), G/T Elgton Jenkins (knee, DNP), C/G Josh Myers (wrist, DNP), CB Keisean Nixon (hamstring, limited), WR Jayden Reed (ankle, limited), Walker(concussion, DNP), WR Christian Watson (ankle, limited), DL Colby Wooden (knee, full), Wyatt(ankle, limited)
