Adams (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday at Arizona, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

It remains to be seen how the Rams list Adams on their final injury report. His return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests Adams is on track to play. He played through hamstring, back and oblique injuries earlier this season, without ever missing a game or finishing with fewer than five targets or 35 snaps. He's also scored touchdowns in nine of 12 games, including each of the last six (with multiple TDs in four of those).

Olave (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Saints team reporter Erin Summers reports.

Olave's practice participation has been capped by a back injury, which also had him listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He managed to play through it against Miami and caught four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. If he gets the green light to play against the Buccaneers, Olave will likely continue to function as the focal point of New Orleans' passing game, as he ranks fourth in the NFL with 115 targets this season.

Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.

London has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Seattle, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

London hasn't played or practiced since suffering a PCL sprain Week 11. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the wideout had a chance to return for Week 14, but London never even made it back to practice and now faces a short turnaround with Atlanta playing on Thursday in Week 15.

Atwell (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game at Arizona, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Atwell has been a full practice participant for the past two weeks, so this may be the equivalent of a healthy scratch. He can practice for another week without coming off injured reserve, but the Rams will need to activate him by mid-December if he's going to play again this season. Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield have all seen playing time behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in recent weeks.

London (knee) isn't practicing Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London had a chance to play this week, but the wideout still hasn't returned to practice, making him unlikely to play Sunday against Seattle.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn't sound confident about Odunze (foot) playing in Sunday's game at Green Bay, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com.

Emma reports that Johnson was more optimistic about LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) than Odunze, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Odunze was listed with heel and ankle injuries earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game in his young NFL career.

McMillan (neck) won't return for Sunday's game against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

As expected, with McMillan having logged just 2-3 limited practices after missing more than three months due to fractures and ligament damage in his neck. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have if he's ready to play in Week 15 or 16.

Evans (collarbone) will not play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Evans returned to practice Wednesday after missing six weeks with a broken collarbone. He never seemed likely to play this week but might have a chance four days later for a Thursday home game against Atlanta. If not, Evans should at least be back for the Week 16 contest at Carolina on Sunday, Dec. 21. With Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) also out for at least one more game, Tampa's top wide receivers are Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard.

Higgins said Friday that he cleared the concussion protocol and is "full go" for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Higgins sustained a concussion Week 12 against the Patriots and sat out a Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens on a short week, but his ability to progress from limited Wednesday to full Thursday signaled his progress through the protocol for head injuries. Now that he's spoken to the media, it's clear he gained clearance from an independent neurologist and will be available this weekend, when he'll be working with QB Joe Burrow for the first time since Week 2.
