The Falcons elevated Blair from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the team's official reports.

This will be Blair's first elevation of the season, an opportunity the wide receiver has likely waited for since signing to the practice squad Aug. 27. The Falcons now have a whopping 10 wide receivers on their roster for Thursday's game, meaning Blair was likely elevated to serve in a special-teams capacity. The 28-year-old logged 20 total special-teams snaps for the Falcons through four games last season, and he will likely have similar volume Thursday night.

Higgins (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Back-to-back limited listings would appear to give Higgins a chance to play Sunday against the Ravens, but he'll need to advance fully through the NFL's concussion protocol in order to approach the contest minus an injury designation. If Higgins ends up sidelined against Baltimore, Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added Week 15 snaps behind top WR Ja'Marr Chase.

Washington (hip) was limited in practice Thursday.

Washington has now logged four consecutive limited practice sessions dating back to Week 14, though he wasn't able to suit up then. If he manages to upgrade to full practice reps Friday, however, the No. 3 receiver could have a chance to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Jets. With Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brenton Strange all healthy for Jacksonville, however, Washington will be facing tough target competition even if he manages to suit up Week 15.

Bryant (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Bryant has missed Denver's first two practices in Week 15. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Bryant's unable to play, it would be the first absence of the rookie third-round pick's NFL career.

Addison (Achilles) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Addison now has put together back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 15 prep as he tends to an Achilles injury. He may need to practice fully Friday in order to head into the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas. Having said that, Addison hasn't exceeded 62 receiving yards in any contest since Week 7, leaving him with only modest viability in terms of fantasy.

Skowronek (hand) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Skowronek dealt with a shoulder injury during practice Week 14 but managed to suit up for the Steelers' win over Baltimore without any sort of designation. Now, however, the depth wideout's status appears uncertain due to a hand issue. Skowronek will have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Monday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Metcalf (abdomen) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

After Metcalf was briefly hospitalized following Sunday's win over the Ravens when he experienced stomach pains on the team flight, head coach Mike Tomlin suggested Tuesday that the wideout's practice availability could be affected in Week 15. Metcalf evidently bounced back from the stomach issue quicker than anticipated, as his ability to begin the week of practice without any restrictions should clear the way for him to play Monday versus the Dolphins. For his part, Metcalf didn't go into details regarding the severity of his stomach pains when he spoke to the media Thursday, though he confirmed that he was "good" for Monday's game, per Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Zaccheaus (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Joining Zaccheaus as a limited practice participant was Rome Odunze (foot), who could be in line to return to action this Sunday against the Browns after sitting out a Week 14 loss to the Packers. Odunze's potential return would likely leave fewer reps to go around for Zaccheaus and rookie wideout Luther Burden, both of whom played north of 70 percent of the Bears' offensive snaps against Green Bay.

Odunze (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Chicago had estimated Odunze as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through session, but Thursday marked the first time the second-year wideout had actually taken the field for a practice in more than two weeks. Odunze, who is working his way back from a stress fracture in his foot, is a candidate to play Sunday versus the Browns, but he may have to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. The potential return of Odunze this Sunday would leave fewer reps to go around for rookie Luther Burden, who drew six targets and played a career-high 71 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 14 loss to the Packers.

Palmer (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Palmer was also a limited participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice. He has missed Buffalo's last two games but has a chance to return Sunday against the Patriots. Palmer will likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game.
