Tonyan (hip) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walkthrough.

Tonyan has missed the last three games and finished last week as a non-participant before being listed as doubtful for Week 8. The 25-year-old would work behind Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis at tight end should he be cleared to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Graham (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The Packers merely held a walkthrough, but Graham nonetheless made his customary appearance on the injury report. With little to worry about as it pertains to his upcoming availability, he likely will have his designation removed entirely by the end of the week.

Daniels (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Daniels picked up an ankle issue Week 8 versus the Saints, but he already looks to have fully recovered. The 24-year-old is on track to suit up against the 49ers on Thursday Night Football, during which he'll play his usual role on special teams.

Brown was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a concussion, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Brown played 29 offensive snaps and 21 special-teams snaps in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, but he likely picked up the head injury somewhere along the way. The 25-year-old has started the last five games but has only two catches for 27 yards. Brown will need to fully clear the five-step concussion protocol before returning to game action.

Moreau caught one of his two targets for a 10-yard gain during Sunday's 27-24 loss to Houston.

After three consecutive games with multiple catches along with two touchdowns, Moreau took a step back against a so-so Texans defense Sunday. The rookie has been an OK No. 2 tight end for the Raiders but plays behind a stud in Darren Waller, who hogs a ton of targets. Moreau is not a safe bet Sunday, even against Detroit's bottom-ranked pass defense.

Vannett caught his only target for a 15-yard gain during Monday's 27-14 win over Miami.

After getting traded to Pittsburgh from Seattle for a fifth-round pick, Vannett has yet to be much of a difference maker as a receiver, with just four catches on six targets for 48 yards in four games. He has yet to be targeted in the red zone this season either as a Seahawk or Steeler. A middle-of-the-pack Colts pass defense awaits Sunday.

Daniels (ankle) was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's practice.

Daniels was listed as a non-participant for Monday's estimated session but, as evidenced by this news, has already progressed heading into Thursday's game against the 49ers. If the 24-year-old is active for Week 9, it likely won't affect the offense, as he's primarily been used on special teams since he was elevated from the practice squad in early October.

Gesicki caught two of three targets for 10 yards during Monday's 27-14 loss to the Steelers.

Monday's outing marked the third time in Gesicki's last five games that he was held to 15 or fewer yards. He has just one 50-yard game this season and has yet to score a touchdown. For all the accolades the former Penn State product earned as an athletic specimen ahead of the 2018 draft, he's struggled to establish himself on a team that isn't exactly full of top-notch weapons. Though Gesicki's a good red-zone target in theory, just two of his 25 targets this season have come inside the 20. Don't expect much of a change Sunday, even against a struggling Jets squad.

Uzomah played 47 of a possible 83 offensive snaps (57 percent) during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams in London.

Uzomah managed a four-yard reception on two targets as the No. 2 option behind Tyler Eifert. He's mainly used in a blocking role, as Uzomah has run routes on just 64.7 percent of snaps this year, while Eifert's mark is 88.8 percent. His limited usage in the passing game has turned into just nine catches for 112 yards this year.

Tomlinson was released by the Patriots on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old played 31 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns but was not targeted. Tomlinson's release likely means Ryan Izzo (concussion) and/or Matt LaCosse (knee) are nearing their return to the field.
