Iosivas had one catch for five yards on 18 offensive snaps in Saturday's overtime win over the Vikings. He also made a game-saving fumble recovery on a punt return by Charlie Jones before the end of regulation.

Jones was blasted by his own blocker, who was shoved into him. Iosivas was aware enough to spring onto the fumble and prevent the Vikings from being in position to attempt a game-winning field goal. Iosivas could get more action next week if Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) sits out Saturday against the Steelers as anticipated.

Atwell (concussion) was a full participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Atwell was listed the same way on Monday's practice estimate, but the Rams actually logged some on-field work one day later. There's an expectation from Sean McVay that Atwell will return from a one-game absence Thursday at New Orleans after making his way through the concussion protocol as of Monday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nevertheless, Atwell has surpassed 30 receiving yards just twice over his last 10 appearances en route to a cumulative 20-230-2 line on 37 targets and two carries for eight yards during that stretch.

Allen (heel) officially didn't practice Tuesday.

He was seen working on the side with a team trainer earlier Tuesday, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, so the wide receiver's listing on the Chargers' first Week 16 injury report was of great interest. However, Allen maintained his lack of activity from last week, giving him just two more chances to mix into drills ahead of Saturday's game against the Bills.

Olave (ankle) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

After failing to practice in any capacity last week and kicking off this week as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Olave was able to take part in Tuesday's walkthrough, albeit with a cap on his reps. It's the first positive sign for Olave's status since he showed up on the Saints' Week 15 injury report last Wednesday, and he'll have one more chance to prove his health before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Thursday's game at the Rams. Currently, Rashid Shaheed, Lynn Bowden, A.T. Perry and Keith Kirkwood are the healthy wide receivers on New Orleans' active roster.

The Colts signed Mickens to their practice squad Tuesday.

Mickens was cut by the Giants prior to Week 1, but he's now found a new opportunity in Indianapolis. He hasn't suited up for a regular-season game since 2021 with Tampa Bay, where he played mostly on special teams.

Allen (heel) was spotted working with a team trainer on the side at Tuesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Whether or not Allen mixes into drills to kick off Week 16 prep remains to be seen, but he was estimated as a non-participant on all three injury reports last week due to a heel issue before the Chargers ruled him out ahead of last Thursday's game at Las Vegas. Tuesday's practice report will reveal if the 11-year pro was able to handle any work.

The Colts placed McKenzie on their reserve/suspended list for the remainder of the season Tuesday for conduct detrimental to the team, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

McKenzie was a healthy scratch for Saturday's game versus the Steelers, and he'll now miss the rest of the year. D.J. Montgomery could see some more reps out of the slot in the meantime.

Thompkins rushed once for minus-one yard and returned one punt for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Thompkins failed to draw a target for the second straight game and went without a catch for the fourth time in the last five contests overall. The Utah State product did see his snaps from scrimmage climb back into double digits (11), but with Trey Palmer and David Moore clearly ahead of him in the pecking order, there's no realistic path for Thompkins to make any meaningful offensive contributions for the time being.

Coach Zac Taylor said Chase (shoulder) won't take part in practice Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Chase exited late during Saturday's overtime win over the Vikings and was seen in street clothes on the sideline in the game's waning moments. Taylor clarified the nature of the injury Sunday, calling it an AC joint sprain in Chase's right shoulder. While Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that Chase is in line to miss Saturday's game at Pittsburgh and potentially more time beyond that, Taylor noted Tuesday that the Bengals will "take it day-to-day," and "we'll see as the week goes." Mixing back into drills Wednesday or Thursday would brighten Chase's prospects for Week 16, but if he ends up inactive, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd would hold more sway in Cincinnati's offense.

Palmer brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Palmer played 33 snaps to David Moore's 16, but it was the latter that made a splash with a 52-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that sealed the game for Tampa Bay. Given Palmer now has two straight one-catch, five-yard efforts and hasn't eclipsed 20 receiving yards since Week 11, he could start yielding additional snaps to Moore in Week 16 against the Jaguars.
