Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited in practice
Reed (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
It's interesting to see Reed listed with only a shoulder injury considering he dealt with a Jones fracture in his foot earlier this season (in addition to a broken collarbone). In any case, he returned from an absence of nearly three months to handle a 48 percent offensive snap share and a 65 percent route share during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reed finished with four catches for 31 yards and two carries for 22 yards, essentially returning to his full pre-injury role.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Limited due to wrist
Golden (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Golden returned from a two-game absence to play just 10 percent of Green Bay's snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reports have suggested that Golden and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) might have played more if they'd been healthy, but it also seems like Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the top three on the depth chart.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Bothered by ankle
Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks was listed with an ankle injury last week but didn't have a designation for Sunday's eventual win over Chicago. He played just 10 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in the contest -- one week after scoring a pair of TDs against the Lions -- but that was partially a product of Jayden Reed returning from injured reserve. It is possible that Wicks would've played more without the ankle injury but probably not enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Sits out walkthrough
Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.

Tutu Atwell WR | LAR
Rams' Tutu Atwell: Coming off IR soon
Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Atwell is approaching the end of his 21-day practice window, which means he either needs to be activated to the roster or ruled out on IR for the rest of the season. The Rams plan to activate him following two straight weeks of full participation in every practice. The decision to not activate Atwell earlier suggests he's unlikely to have a major role down the stretch.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | CHI
Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Dealing with hamstring injury
Zaccheaus was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Recently demoted to the No. 4 WR role, Zaccheaus filled in for Rome Odunze (heel) during Sunday's 28-21 loss at Green Bay, catching two of three targets for seven yards and a TD while handling a 78 percent offensive snap share and 83 percent route share. Odunze was also a limited practice participant Wednesday, putting Chicago's WR corps in flux ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns.

Rome Odunze WR | CHI
Bears' Rome Odunze: Listed as limited Wednesday
Odunze (foot) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
After missing all three Week 14 practices and being ruled out for this past Sunday's game at Green Bay, Odunze was revealed to be dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that left him week-to-week, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Such a prognosis, even from an NFL insider, typically results in a multi-game absence, but Odunze's listing to start Week 15 prep indicates he has a chance to return Sunday against the Browns. How he fares in practice Thursday and Friday likely will be key in that regard.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Misses practice Wednesday
Gould (foot) did not practice Wednesday.
Gould was forced out of Indianapolis' game against the Jaguars in Week 14 early due to a foot injury, and he's not yet ready to practice. In the event that Gould isn't able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Downs and Ameer Abdullah will be candidates to see expanded work in the return game.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Another DNP
Harrison (heel) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Harrison remains sidelined due to the heel injury he picked up in the fourth quarter of a Week 13 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison out again this past Sunday against the Rams -- like in Weeks 11-12 when he was unavailable following an appendectomy -- fellow WR Michael Wilson again went off, hauling in 11 of 16 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Joining Harrison as a DNP on Wednesday was Xavier Weaver (hamstring), meaning Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy wide receivers on the Cardinals' active roster at the moment.
