Lawrence is expected to get more opportunities on the Cowboys' defense moving forward, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lawrence was selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft by Dallas, but he has yet to play more than 43 percent of the defensive snaps in a contest this season. The linebacker notched his first career sack in Week 5, bringing down Buccaneers quarterback Jalon Daniels in the team's 24-16 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football. Lawrence has compiled 12 total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed over five contests so far in his rookie campaign.

Riley (Achilles) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Packers on Wednesday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

Riley has been on the active/PUP list since Aug. 31 while continuing to recover from a torn Achilles tendon. The defensive lineman made his return to practice Wednesday, logging a limited session to open the week. With Javon Hargrave (Achilles) done for the season, Riley's return to action will be a welcomed one, whenever that may be.

Johnson (stinger/neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Johnson exited the second quarter of the Raiders' Week 5 loss to the Patriots due to multiple injuries. The linebacker has recovered from his neck and stinger issues enough to be a full participant, meaning he will likely continue to practice throughout Week 6 in anticipation of Sunday's home game against the Bills.

Surratt (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday night's contest against the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Surratt was unable to practice at all this week, and he will now be forced to miss a third straight contest while nursing a calf injury. In his absence, Seattle will once again have to find a fill-in for Surratt's workload with the special-teams unit.

Jackson (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Jackson missed the Bills' Week 5 overtime win against the Rams due to a knee injury. The defensive end appears to have recovered from the injury after sitting out Week 5, and should be set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Raiders if he can continue to practice in full.

Jackson's suspension for an act of unsportsmanlike conduct during Monday's game versus the Bills has been reduced to one game, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Jackson was initially dealt a two-game suspension after hitting veteran defensive end Bradley Chubb in the face following an altercation in Week 5, but that penalty was cut in half after an appeal. He'll still have to miss Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, though, and veteran David Quessenberry figures to step in at left tackle for that contest.

Washington (ankle) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.

Washington suffered an ankle injury in the second half and did not return to Sunday's 30-23 overtime win against the Falcons. The defensive lineman's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns.

Guyton (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Guyton departed the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers late in the fourth quarter due to a back injury. After a set of X-rays, it was determined that the offensive tackle's back was fine. Guyton has promptly returned to practicing with the team at full capacity.

Clark (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Clark exited the Cowboys' Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers early with a hamstring injury. The safety quickly returned to full practice participation and has seemingly recovered from the game-day issue.

Jurgens (concussion) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.

Jurgens was able to participate in his first practice as a member of the Ravens after the Eagles traded him to Baltimore on Oct. 7. The center is still working his way through concussion protocol, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and clear protocol prior to Sunday's matchup with Cleveland.
