Three notable NFL players were absent from their teams' Wednesday practice sessions, according to a report from ProFootball Talk. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith, along with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, all missed practice on November 5, 2026. The report by Charean Williams did not specify reasons for the absences, which could be injury-related, rest days, or other team decisions. Wednesday practices are typically the first major preparation session of the game week, making participation a key indicator for Sunday availability.
