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.

Minnesota signed Baldwin to its practice squad Wednesday.

The Vikings worked out Baldwin just over a week ago, and they apparently liked what they saw enough to bring him aboard their practice squad. If Justin Jefferson is unable to play in Week 12, Baldwin could be elevated as soon as Monday versus the Bears.

Pickens didn't practice Wednesday due to a shin injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

The injury is a new one for Pickens, who will still have two more opportunities to log some practice activity and put the shin concern behind him ahead of Sunday's road game against the Bengals. If the second-year wide receiver suits up, he'll be playing in a Pittsburgh offense directed by former running backs coach Eddie Faulkner after the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday.

Guyton (groin) was present for practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

After logging a limited practice Friday, Guyton was added to the Chargers' Week 11 injury report before he ended up missing Sunday's loss to the Packers. The fact that Guyton was on the field Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Ravens, but he'll need to practice fully by the end of the week in order to avoid an injury designation.

Burks (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks, who has missed the Titans' last two games, still has two more opportunities to take the practice field ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers. If Burks remains out this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chris Moore and Kyle Philips could continue to see expanded snaps behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Bateman left Wednesday's practice early due to a foot injury, but head coach John Harbaugh said the wide receiver "should be fine" for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, Bateman went down running a route early in practice with an injury to the same foot he had surgically repaired prior to the season. While the Ravens were initially concerned over the injury, they seem to believe the wide receiver should be available moving forward. Even so, Bateman's involvement in practices Thursday and Friday will warrant monitoring.

Beckham (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Beckham's absence comes as no surprise after he was injured at the end of a 51-yard reception in the fourth quarter of last Thursday's 34-20 win over Cincinnati. The Ravens have managed Beckham's practice workloads even when he's been in no danger of missing a game, and head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the wideout's shoulder issue is "not going to be a long-term thing," per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. Even so, Beckham's fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on his status leading up to Sunday's game against the Chargers. If cleared to play, Beckham could be relied up to absorb some of the target volume vacated by tight end Mark Andrews (ankle/fibula), who is expected to be placed on injured reserve later this week.

Goodwin (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Goodwin hasn't played since Week 9 and has been stuck in concussion protocol ever since the Browns traded Donovan Peoples-Jones to Detroit on Oct. 31. Rookie Cedric Tillman has taken over a starting job alongside Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore, but Goodwin eventually could poach snaps from Tillman once he's cleared to play.

Higgins (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Head coach Zac Taylor said that some of the Bengals injured players were improving and would return to practice Wednesday. Higgins apparently won't be among that group and thus appears in danger of missing a third straight game when the Bengals face the Steelers on Sunday. He's unlikely to put up his typical numbers whenever he gets healthy, as the Bengals are stuck with Jake Browning under center after Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during last Thursday's loss at Baltimore.

Brown (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown failed to practice in any capacity last week and ultimately sat out this past Sunday's 21-16 win over the Cardinals. He still isn't ready to resume practicing as the Texans begin their preparations for a Week 12 home game against the Jaguars. In his last two games prior to the injury, Brown compiled 325 yards and one touchdown. He has two more opportunities to return to practice and will likely need to take the field in at least some capacity to suit up for Sunday's clash between AFC South rivals.
