  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: On track to play Thursday

    Evans (collarbone) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Falcons, though he's in line to play and is expected to be on a "pitch count" with his snaps, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Evans' availability won't be confirmed until Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but he looks poised to play for the first time since Week 7 after the Buccaneers activated him from injured reserve Wednesday. Though the 32-year-old wideout didn't take full contact at any point since having his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, the Buccaneers feel comfortable enough with how he's recovered from a broken clavicle to clear him for game action. As Fowler notes, Evans probably won't play his usual complement of snaps, but Tampa Bay plans to have him on the field for its most important downs. If Evans escapes Thursday's contest without incident, he should be ready to handle a fuller workload Week 16 at Carolina.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Another DNP on Thursday

    Harrison (heel) isn't practicing Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Harrison thus will have just one more chance to mix into drills this week, or else he'll be at risk of missing a second game in a row due to a heel injury. If he sits out again Sunday at Houston, it'll mark his fourth absence in the past five games after he sat out Weeks 11-12 following an appendectomy. Fellow WR Michael Wilson prospered during Harrison's three recent absences, totaling a 36-445-2 line on 49 targets in those contests. Andre Baccellia is the only other healthy wide receiver on Arizona's active roster.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Remains sidelined at practice

    Tillman (concussion/ribs) is not in line to practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Tillman is missing a second consecutive practice while nursing a pair of injury sustained during Cleveland's loss to the Titans in Week 14. He'll have one more chance to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago, but at this stage Tillman appears to be trending in the wrong direction. He'll need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol before returning to the Browns' starting lineup.

  • Dareke Young WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Logs another full practice

    Young (quadriceps) logged a full practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

    Young hasn't suited up since Week 7 but returned to practice last week. He's practiced in full ever since, seemingly setting him up to be activated ahead of Seattle's Week 15 matchup against the Colts.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LV

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Limited to open week

    Bachman (thumb) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Bachman was unable to play against the Broncos in Week 14 due to a thumb injury. His ability to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

  • Ray-Ray McCloud: Gets cut from practice squad

    The Giants cut McCloud from their practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone and Matt Citak of the team's official site report.

    The Giants also released cornerback Myles Purchase from their practice squad, signing instead veteran punter Cameron Johnston and wide receiver Xavier Gipson. McCloud will become an unrestricted free agent.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Xavier Gipson: Officially joins Giants practice squad

    The Giants signed Gipson to their practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone & Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

    Gipson has had a roller-coaster season. He began the campaign with the Jets before being waived Sept. 10. The wideout subsequently was claimed by the Giants, who then released him nine days later. Gipson ultimately landed with the Eagles and got into five games with them, totaling two catches on two targets for six yards while also contributing as a kick and punt returner before being cut Dec. 7. He'll now get a second look from the Giants, and if he's elevated for Sunday's matchup versus Washington, Gipson could be deployed as the team's lead return man, as Gunner Olszewski is currently in concussion protocol and was unable to practice Wednesday.

  • Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Remigio (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

    Remigio missed Sunday's game versus the Texans with what was listed as a shoulder injury, and it's not clear if the concussion listing is related. Either way, it now appears he's trending toward suiting up in Week 15 versus the Chargers.

  • Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Limited practice Wednesday

    Thornton (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com previously indicated that Thornton -- who was inactive in Week 14 -- had cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, but the wideout was nonetheless deemed limited Wednesday. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his participation level before the Raiders assign game statuses for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Logs limited practice Wednesday

    McConkey (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    McConkey was on the field for 86 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles en route to catching just one of his five targets for 12 yards. Assuming the wideout's foot issue doesn't affect his Week 15 status, McConkey is a bounce-back candidate Sunday against the Chiefs, with QB Justin Herbert, who played through a left hand injury versus Philadelphia, noting Wednesday that he's in a healthier spot than he was this time last week.
