Wicks (concussion/knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest in Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

After emerging from Sunday's victory against the Chargers with a concussion and knee injury, Wicks was limited to one capped walk-through practice this week. The questionable designation thus could be misleading with regard to his actual chances of suiting up Thursday, but his status won't be clarified one way or the other until Green Bay releases its inactive list about 90 minutes before the 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Wicks doesn't suit up, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton will be the options to serve as the Packers' fourth wide receiver behind the top trio of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (chest).

Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Allen was listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Packers with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, but the wideout played through the issue and finished with 10 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Allen's limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related.

The Packers signed Melton to their active roster Wednesday.

Green Bay signed Melton to its practice squad ahead of Week 1, and now he's getting a full-time promotion ahead of Week 12. The Packers' pecking order for targets seems to be taking shape already at this point, so it's not immediately obvious where Melton fits into the picture.

Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough by a thigh injury.

Through 11 weeks of the current campaign, Brown has avoided showing up on Eagles injury reports, but he now is dealing with a health concern as the team prepares for Sunday's showdown with the Bills. He may need to be listed as a full participant Thursday and/or Friday in order to avoid a designation for that contest.

Metcalf (toe) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Metcalf made his typical mid-week appearance on the Seahawks' practice report, only this week he was tending to a new injury. A toe issue was the cause of his absence from Tuesday's walkthrough instead of the hip or rib concerns that previously plagued him this season. After he was listed as a full participant Wednesday, however, Metcalf now is set to take on a San Francisco defense that has allowed the fifth-highest catch rate (68.3 percent) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Nacua (shoulder) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

During a media session Monday, McVay revealed that Nacua was tending to a shoulder injury after Sunday's win versus the Seahawks, and the issue is now affecting his on-field work during Week 12 prep. Nacua at least is practicing, though, which can't be said for Cooper Kupp, who is working his way back from the low-ankle sprain he suffered Week 11. With the health of the Rams' top two pass catchers up in the air, the situation bears watching to see if one or both may miss Sunday's game at Arizona.

Wilson (elbow) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson had been estimated as a limited participant Tuesday for the Jets' walk-through session, but he took every rep Wednesday during a more traditional practice to clear up any concern about his availability for Friday's game against the Dolphins. After putting together a 57-651-2 receiving line on 103 targets through the Jets' first 10 games while playing primarily with Zach Wilson at quarterback, the wideout will now look to establish rapport with veteran journeyman Tim Boyle, who has been named the Jets' Week 12 starter.

Reed (chest) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's injury report and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest at Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Reed showed up suddenly on Tuesday's report as a limited practice participant due to a chest injury, which head coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stemmed from the wideout feeling soreness that become a bigger issue as the week went on. The injury didn't affect Reed during Wednesday's walk-through session, and he'll now be available Thursday to take on a Lions defense that has given up the fifth-most touchdowns (12) to opposing wide receivers in 10 games this season.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Kupp (ankle) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Though Kupp is considered day-to-day with what has been reported as a right low-ankle sprain, McVay said Monday that he's hopeful the veteran wideout won't miss any game action, according to Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. With an absence from practice Wednesday, Kupp isn't starting Week 12 prep off on the right foot, but he'll have two more chances to potentially log some on-field activity and put himself in a position to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Before tweaking his ankle in this past Sunday's win over the Seahawks, Kupp missed the Rams' first four games of the season with a hamstring injury.

Godwin was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to knee and elbow injuries, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Godwin wasn't known to be dealing with any health concerns during this past Sunday's 27-14 loss to the 49ers, so his limitations Wednesday were either the result of a previously unreported injury or an in-practice setback. Whatever the case, Godwin's practice activity will now warrant tracking over the next two days to get a sense of his odds of playing Sunday at Indianapolis.
