Wicks (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

For a second week in a row, Wicks is enduring practice restrictions due to an ankle injury, which capped him to six snaps and no targets this past Sunday versus the Bears. The Packers have three other wide receivers also limited this week: Jayden Reed (shoulder), Matthew Golden (wrist) and Savion Williams (foot). Friday's practice report will unveil who among the quartet will head into the weekend without designations for Sunday's game at Denver.

Golden (wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Golden has been listed with a wrist injury since Week 12 prep that sidelined him for two games and capped him at five offensive snaps and one target, which he didn't catch, in this past Sunday's win over the Bears. He joins Jayden Reed (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) as limited participants this week as the Packers' receiving corps continues to be beset by injuries. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Golden enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Denver.

Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Williams has sat out the Packers' last two games due to a foot injury, but he's displayed some progress this week by practicing in a limited fashion on consecutive days. The rookie receiver will likely still need to put in a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game at Denver.

Reed (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

All of Reed, Matthew Golden (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot) are operating with practice restrictions this week, so it'll be interesting to see who among them will ditch designations and enter the weekend healthy along with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Bo Melton for Sunday's contest at Denver. In his first game action since Week 2 this past Sunday against the Bears, Reed gathered in all four targets for 31 yards and took two carries for 22 yards on a 47 percent snap share.

McConkey (foot) remained limited at practice Thursday.

After being on the field for 86 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles, McConkey has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. Friday's final injury report will thus reveal whether the wideout, who hauled in just one of his five targets for 12 yards versus Philadelphia, carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Olszewski (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Olszewski couldn't practice in any capacity Wednesday, so his limited activity level represents a tangible step in the right direction. Still, Olszewski will need to gain full clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol in order to return to the lineup, meaning his status for Sunday's game against the Commanders could come down to the wire. For any chance of being cleared for Week 15, Olszewski will likely need to practice in full Friday.

Collins (neck) was limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Collins practiced in full after being designated to return from IR on Wednesday, so it's possible that Thursday's downgrade in activity level represents a setback in his recovery. The depth wideout hasn't played since Week 9 due to a neck injury.

Weaver (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Weaver hasn't practiced since last Thursday, when he initially popped up as limited due to a hamstring injury. He, along with top WR Marvin Harrison (heel), hasn't been able to mix into drills so far this week, seemingly putting both players on the outside looking in to play Sunday at Houston. Currently, Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy options at the position on the Cardinals' active roster, while Jalen Brooks, Trent Sherfield, Tejhaun Palmer, Bryson Green and Steven Sims are possible practice-squad elevations for Week 15 action.

The Giants claimed Miller off waivers Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday after playing in all 13 games for the franchise this season. The wide receiver plays the majority of his snaps with the special-teams unit and was likely waived due to the Buccaneers' receiving room getting healthier. With Gunner Olszewski (concussion) questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Miller may be thrust into a role as the Giants' No. 5 wide receiver in his first game with the team.

Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards.
