Beaux Collins WR | NYG
Giants' Beaux Collins: No practice Wednesday
Collins (neck/concussion) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Collins was designated to return to practice Dec. 10, but he has trended negatively since. He suffered a setback Friday that prevented him from playing in Week 15, and it was also enough to keep him sidelined Wednesday. Collins will seemingly have to make a significant step in his recovery to be ready for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Returns to full practice
Olszewski (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Olszewski suffered a concussion in New York's Week 13 loss and missed the team's loss to the Commanders on Sunday, even after a bye week. His return to a full practice is positive, though it's unclear if he's cleared the league's concussion protocol. That will be the necessary final step for him to return for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Charlie Jones WR | CIN
Bengals' Charlie Jones: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Jones (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Jones was knocked out of Sunday's game versus the Ravens in the second quarter by an ankle injury, and now his status for Week 16 is up in the air. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have an opportunity to suit up Sunday at Miami.

Ben Skowronek WR | PIT
Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Limited Wednesday
Skowronek (illness/hand) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Skowronek dealt with the hand issue last week in practice, but the illness is new for the special-teams standout and wide receiver. Skowronek has posted a career-high 19 tackles (nine solo) in kick coverage for Pittsburgh.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Raiders' Tyler Lockett: Limited practice Wednesday
Lockett (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Lockett sustained a wrist injury in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles, but Wednesday's injury report instead lists the wideout as dealing with a knee issue. In any case, Lockett has two more opportunities to practice fully before the Raiders assign injury designations ahead of this weekend's game against the Texans. Assuming he's available, Lockett's only a lineup option in deeper fantasy formats, with the Raiders having dropped eight straight games and set to face a stingy Houston defense in Week 16.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited at practice
Johnston (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Rookie wideout Tre' Harris took on an 84 percent snap share with Johnston absent for Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chargers. Johnston was a late addition to last week's injury report, and while the issue doesn't seem serious, he may need a full practice Thursday/Friday to enter this weekend in good shape for Sunday's favorable matchup with Dallas.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Limited at walkthrough
Weaver (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Both Weaver and Marvin Harrison (heel) returned to the practice field Wednesday, but both players have some work to do to prove their respective levels of health ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons. Currently, Michael Wilson and Jalen Brooks are the only healthy wide receivers on Arizona's active roster.

Jalen Nailor WR | MIN
Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Tending to back injury
Nailor was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.
Nailor has settled into a regular role in the Vikings' offense this season and is coming of the first multi-touchdown performance of his career this past Sunday at Dallas. However, he's now dealing with a health concern in the wake of that contest, giving him two chances to get back to full this week before the Vikings potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Doubtful for TNF
Adams (knee/hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game at Seattle, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Adams missed Tuesday's walkthrough and Wednesday's practice due to a lingering hamstring injury and a new knee issue, which seemingly will combine to force his first absence of the campaign. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's inactive, the Rams will be banking on some combination of Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith to work alongside top WR Puka Nacua.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Full participant in practice
Bryant (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Bryant appears back to full health after having missed Week 15 due to a hamstring issue. Barring any setbacks, the rookie wideout can be considered fully on track for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He'll contribute as one of Denver's starting receivers in three-wide sets alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Marvin Mims in the No. 4 role.
