Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. and wide receiver Nico Collins continue to work through their injuries.

Stingley missed Wednesday's work with an oblique injury.

He initially injured his oblique in the season-opening loss to the Rams and aggravated it in a Week 3 loss to the Jaguars. Stingley missed the first two practice days last week before limited work on Friday.

Stingley started and played 47 of 50 defensive snaps in the win over the Titans and even made an interception.

Collins played 61 of 70 snaps Sunday despite his injury.

Defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, and defensive end Will Anderson had a rest day.

Defensive end Denico Autry (knee), tight end Harrison Bryant (shoulder) and safety Jaylen Reed (knee) were limited. It was the first practice of the season for Autry and Reed, who were designated for return on Wednesday.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson had plenty of company on the sideline at Ravens practice on Wednesday.

Jackson sat out of practice with a hamstring injury and four other Ravens who also left last Sunday's loss to the Chiefs also remained out. Linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), and cornerback Nate Wiggins (elbow) all missed the first practice of Week 5. Cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), and wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique) rounded out the group of non-participants.

Two players who missed the Chiefs game were able to practice. Defensive tackle Travis Jones (knee) and linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) were limited participants.

Safety Kyle Hamilton (groin), tackle Emery Jones (shoulder), center Tyler Linderbaum (calf), and defensive end Brent Urban (finger) were also listed as limited.

The long list of names will be updated after Thursday's practice and the Ravens will issue injury designations for Sunday's game against the Texans on Friday.

The Lions placed cornerback D.J. Reed on injured reserve, the team announced Wednesday.

Reed injured a hamstring in the Week 4 win over the Browns, requiring a cart to get to the training room. His injury, though, is not season-ending, and it will not require surgery.

He said he thought he tore his hamstring off the bone, "but that's not the case, thank God."

"I thought it was a wrap," Reed said of his season, via Eric Woodyard of ESPN.

Reed will miss a minimum of four games before returning.

The Lions already had one opening on their 53-player roster after they placed safety Daniel Thomas on injured reserve over the weekend.

The team filled the two vacancies by signing safety Loren Strickland and linebacker Ty Summers to the active roster from the practice squad.

Strickland has spent the season on the Lions' practice squad, while Summers was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday. Strickland and Summers likely contribute on special teams.

The Lions signed cornerback Tre Flowers and cornerback Nick Whiteside to the practice squad.

They also opened the 21-day window of defensive tackle Alim McNeill, who returned to practice this week. McNeill tore his anterior cruciate ligament in December.
