  • Dominic Lovett WR | DET

    Lions' Dominic Lovett: Relegated to special teams

    Lovett went without a target while playing two of the Lions' 62 snaps on offense in Thursday's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

    The rookie wideout has been active for all but one of Detroit's 13 games this season, but he's been used almost exclusively on special teams. He's played 14 offensive snaps in total and has yet to draw a target.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: LP on Wednesday, still in protocol

    Corley (concussion) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday but is still in concussion protocol, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Corley is making progress in his recovery from a concussion sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. In order to gain clearance to face the Bears on Sunday, Corley would need to progress to full practice participation by Friday, then be cleared by an independent neurologist.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Texans' Justin Watson: Returns to practice Wednesday

    Watson (calf) had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday.

    Watson has been on injured reserve since getting injured in Week 2, but Wednesday's development marks a key step in his recovery process, as Watson will rejoin his teammates at practice. The Texans will have 21 days to add Watson back to the active roster from IR. Such a move could come prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, though Houston may ease Watson back in at practice given his extensive layoff.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Not playing Thursday

    London (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Tampa Bay, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    London thus will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to the sprained PCL in his left knee that he suffered Week 11. His next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 21 at Arizona. With London out again, the Falcons' receiving corps will be paced by Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Dylan Drummond and Deven Thompkins, among others.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Xavier Gipson: Joining Giants' practice squad

    New York is expected to sign Gipson to the practice squad Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Gipson was cut by Philadelphia on Monday and had previously missed Week 14 due to a shoulder injury. He practiced in full prior to being waived by the Eagles, however, so the return man and depth wideout is healthy as he's now on track to join the Giants.

  • Xavier Johnson WR | CIN

    Xavier Johnson: Joins Bengals' practice squad

    Cincinnati signed Johnson (hand) to the practice squad Wednesday.

    Johnson spent the offseason with Houston but was placed on IR due to a broken hand and subsequently cut before the start of the regular season. Now full healthy, Johnson will work to carve out an emergency depth role at wide receiver with the Bengals.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: No change to IR status

    Wilson (knee) won't have his window to resume practicing opened Wednesday, and head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that a decision on Wilson's status moving forward will be made by team doctors, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Wilson has been on injured reserve since aggravating a knee injury in Week 10 against the Browns. He is eligible to have his practice window opened at any point moving forward, but it's unclear when or if that will occur. Glenn's answer to the media Wednesday regarding Wilson's status didn't differ from the information Glenn offered Monday. At this point, the Jets are preparing to move forward with John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell as their top two wide receivers for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: To be limited Wednesday

    Higgins (concussion) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    After experiencing concussion-like symptoms Sunday night and Monday morning, Higgins is back in the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout's looming participation -- albeit in a limited capacity -- in Wednesday's practice is a positive indicator, but given that Higgins sustained a concussion Week 12 against the Patriots and sat out a Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens, the Bengals figure to proceed cautiously with him ahead of this weekend's contest against Baltimore.

  • Jahdae Walker WR | CHI

    Bears' Jahdae Walker: Suits up in Sunday's loss

    Walker didn't draw a target while playing two of the Bears' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

    A healthy inactive for Chicago's last four games, Walker returned to action Sunday due to top wideout Rome Odunze (foot) being unavailable. The undrafted rookie placed fourth among Bears receivers in snaps, but DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luther Burden comfortably worked ahead of him. Chicago also made ample use of their tight ends, as all of Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe out-snapped Walker.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: In line for limited listing

    Palmer (ankle) will be deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Palmer didn't practice at all last week before being made inactive for the second straight time in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals. The wideout's looming limited listing is a step in the right direction, but unless Palmer practices fully, his status for this weekend's game against the Patriots will remain uncertain.
