  • Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Stays limited Thursday

    Johnston (groin) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Following back-to-back limited sessions, Johnston likely will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. After being added to the Chargers' Week 15 injury report last Friday, a groin injury kept the wideout from facing the Chiefs in last weekend's 16-13 win. In Johnston's absence from that contest, Tre' Harris logged a season-high 85 percent snap share alongside fellow WRs Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Limited in practice again

    Harris (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Harris filled in for Quentin Johnston (groin) during Los Angeles' win over the Chiefs in Week 15, playing a career-high 85 percent of offensive snaps and securing three of five targets for 49 yards. He and Johnston have both logged back-to-back limited practices since that contest. If Johnston is able to get back on the field for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Harris will stand to revert to the No. 4 wide receiver role even if fully healthy. Derius Davis (ankle) remains a non-participant at practice, however, so Harris could see expanded opportunities even if he reverts back to a depth role.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Activated for Thursday's game

    Young (quadriceps) has been activated from injured reserve and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's home game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Young has been a full participant at practice throughout Seattle's preparations for Thursday Night Football, so it's unsurprising to see him activated in time to face off against Los Angeles. After having missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, Young will now resume handling a depth role in the team's wide-receiver corps.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Questionable for Week 16

    Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest at Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Wicks was held out of Tuesday's walkthrough due to a lingering ankle injury, but his ability to put together back-to-back limited practices to end Week 16 prep gives him a chance to suit up this weekend. Fellow WR Christian Watson (chest/shoulder) followed a similar practice regimen this week after he made an early exit from this past Sunday's loss at Denver, so the Packers again have some question marks at the position heading into a game.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Logs another limited practice

    Higgins (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday.

    Ben Baby of ESPN.com notes that Higgins hasn't been a full practice participant since reporting concussion-like symptoms following the Bengals' Dec. 7 loss to the Bills. The wideout thus has one more chance to log a full session this week, and he'll also need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to be removed from the five-step concussion protocol. If Higgins is still limited in Friday's practice, he could be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins ahead of the weekend.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: Stays limited in practice

    Nailor (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Coming off a two-touchdown performance in this past Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys, Nailor has been slowed by a back injury during Week 16 prep. He's now been a limited practice participant for two straight days, but so long as he can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely approach Sunday's matchup with the Giants without an injury designation.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Stays limited Thursday

    Harrison (heel) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison followed up Wednesday's capped walkthrough with a similar activity level one day later, which generally is a good sign that he's trending toward a return to action Sunday against the Falcons. Friday's injury report will provide insight into his odds to do so, but with Xavier Weaver (hamstring) also limited in practice this week, Michael Wilson and Jalen Brooks currently are the only healthy options at wide receiver on Arizona's active roster.

  • Van Jefferson WR | WAS

    Titans' Van Jefferson: Upgrades to limited Thursday

    Jefferson (back) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

    Jefferson progressed to limited participation Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice session. The veteran wide receiver got hurt during Tennessee's loss to the 49ers this past Sunday. If Jefferson suits up Sunday against the Chiefs, he would likely continue to work as the third wide receiver behind rookie fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Ready to face Bears

    Williams (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Williams' foot injury had forced him to sit out each of Green Bay's last three games, but the rookie third-round pick is all clear for Saturday's key road divisional matchup. If either of Christian Watson (chest) or Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is limited or unavailable versus Chicago, Williams could have an opportunity to handle an expanded depth role in his return.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: DNP with foot

    Gould (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Gould has yet to practice since sustaining a foot injury in the Week 14 loss to the Jaguars. The primary kick and punt returner for the Colts has two more practices to improve his participation level and prove he can suit up for Monday's contest against the 49ers. If the 24-year-old can't go, Ameer Abdullah and Josh Downs will likely continue to handle kickoff- and punt-return duties versus San Francisco.
