Tutu Atwell WR | MIA
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 | ATL
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.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Limited in practice
Raymond (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Raymond missed the past two games, which led to Isaac TeSlaa handling a near-every-down role in an offense that's been using a ton of three-wide looks due to TE injuries. Neither Raymond nor TeSlaa tends to see many targets, but TeSlaa has found some success as a red-zone weapon to complement Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Non-participant at practice
Davis (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Davis is nursing an ankle injury suffered during Monday's win over the Eagles. He'll have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field in advance of Sunday's road game against the Chiefs. Hassan Haskins will stand to handle an expanded role in the return game if Davis isn't able to play Week 15.

CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Limited Wednesday
Lamb (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Lamb sustained a concussion in the third quarter of last Thursday's loss at Detroit, and while he remains in the protocol for head injuries as of Wednesday, as coach Brian Schottenheimer told Todd Archer of ESPN.com, the wide receiver must "clear two more hurdles," including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Lamb will have two more chances to practice fully this week before the Cowboys likely tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
-
Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Limited in practice
Washington (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Washington was unable to suit up Week 14 despite initially being listed as questionable and logging a DNP/LP/LP practice slate. He suffered the injury Week 13 against Tennessee. If Washington is able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, he could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Ryan Miller WR | NYG
Ryan Miller: Waived as TB gets WRs back
Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday.
The Buccaneers activated Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) from injured reserve Wednesday. Miller and defensive lineman C.J. Brewer were waived to clear roster spots for the pair of returning wide receivers. In eight appearances for the Buccaneers this season, Miller had just two catches for 34 yards and a touchdown.
