  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Limited at walkthrough

    Evans (collarbone) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

    The Buccaneers designated Evans for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, and coach Todd Bowles spoke on the wide receiver's current level of health, telling Brianna Dix of the team's official site, "Physically, he is fine. He's been running and everything. ... We have to see him in the football atmosphere, running routes pattern-wise. He has to get acclimated to that, so it will be good to see him tomorrow." That seems to indicate Tampa Bay has an official practice on deck Thursday, after which the team seemingly will have a better read on Evans' status. As for the rest of the offense, all of QB Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) were limited participants to begin Week 14 prep.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Still dealing with back injury

    Olave (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Olave was able to play this past Sunday at Miami after dealing with a back injury last week. Coach Kellen Moore said that the issue flared up for Olave after that contest, and the fourth-year pro now will have two more chances this week to mix into drills before the Saints potentially tag him with a designation for a second straight week. Despite the health concern, Olave was able to log an 87 percent snap share Week 13 on his way to four catches (on seven targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown.

  • Chimere Dike WR | TEN

    Titans' Chimere Dike: Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Dike (quad) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Dike was on the field for 76 percent of the Titans' snaps on offense in the team's Week 13 loss to the Jaguars, a game in which the wideout caught just one of his four targets for eight yards and carried once for one yard. Dike has two more chances to work fully before Tennessee's Week 14 injury statuses are posted Friday.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Misses practice Wednesday

    Washington (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Washington was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Titans after recording 24 snaps on offense. The wideout now has two more chances to practice before the Jaguars' Week 14 injury designations are released, but if Washington is limited or out this weekend against the Colts, added WR snaps alongside Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers would be available for the likes of Tim Patrick, Dyami Brown and practice squad member Austin Trammell.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Listed as DNP due to foot injury

    Odunze was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury.

    Odunze has operated with practice restrictions or sat out drills entirely this season due to ankle and heel injuries, so this appears to be a new health concern for the second-year wide receiver. His status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability, or lack thereof, as the Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | DET

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Out for Week 14

    Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.

    Raymond thus will sit out a second game in a row due to an ankle injury that he sustained Week 12. Meanwhile, the Lions are listing top WR Amon-Ra St. Brown as questionable due to his own ankle issue. If St. Brown ends up inactive as well, Jameson Williams will be the clear top option at the position for Detroit, with Isaac TeSlaa, Tom Kennedy and Dominic Lovett also on hand for targets. Raymond's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 14 at the Rams.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Deemed DNP on practice estimate

    Downs (hip/knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

    With Downs logging a DNP in Wednesday's walk-through as he contends with hip and knee issues, the wideout's status is now worth monitoring as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches. In each of his last two games, Downs has caught two of his six targets for a combined total of 54 yards in that span.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Status in question for Week 14

    St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

    St. Brown departed in the first quarter of last Thursday's loss to the Packers and wasn't able to return due to an ankle injury. He was diagnosed with a low left-ankle sprain in the wake of the contest, and he proceeded to miss all three sessions of Week 14 prep. Despite the lack of activity this week, St. Brown still has a chance to play Thursday, with coach Dan Campbell telling Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com on Tuesday that "if he can play, he'll play." St. Brown added that his ankle "hurts, but it's getting better. So, that's the good news. Just day by day." If St. Brown isn't able to suit up, Jameson Williams will be the clear-cut top WR for the Lions, with Isaac TeSlaa, Tom Kennedy and Dominic Lovett also on hand for targets, as Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Clear for Week 14

    Pickens (calf/knee) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    For the second week in a row, Pickens was listed with calf and knee injuries, which limited him at Monday's practice. He followed up that capped session with a full practice Tuesday and full walkthrough Wednesday, clearing him for Week 14 action. Pickens has continued to be a menace to opposing defenses since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, gathering in 24 of 33 targets for 378 yards and two touchdowns over the last three contests.

  • Joaquin Davis WR | DEN

    Joaquin Davis: Picked up by Minnesota

    Davis signed with the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday.

    The North Carolina Central product was dropped by the Broncos in late August but has since found a new home in Minnesota. Davis has yet to make his NFL debut after catching 31 passes for 489 yards and four touchdowns across 11 games during his final collegiate season.
