From @GMFB: The up-in-the-air status of #Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle; #Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase should be ok: #Ravens QB La Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Lamar Jackson participated fully Wednesday after an ankle injury but remains listed as questionable. Jaylen Waddle is questionable after missing practice with a chest injury; Ja'Marr Chase is also questionable after sitting with an ankle issue and rest.

Why it matters: Baltimore has lost two straight, most recently falling 35-13 to Cincinnati on Oct. 25. Denver has won three straight, making Waddle's availability relevant to its place in the AFC standings.

By the numbers: Denver is 5-2 and fifth in the AFC; Cincinnati is 4-2 and seventh; Baltimore is 4-3 and ninth.

What to watch: The next practice reports and final game designations will clarify all three players' Week 8 availability.
