Lamb has entered concussion protocol and been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Lions, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Lamb hit his head and shoulder hard after making a leaping attempt for a reception in the end zone early in the third quarter. He was briefly evaluated in the medical tent before heading to the locker room, and he was quickly ruled out from there. Prior to his exit, Lamb had six receptions (on eight targets) for 121 yards.

Lamb was escorted off the field by trainers and into the medical tent for further evaluation during Thursday's game against the Lions, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lamb went up for a jump ball in the end zone early in the third quarter and came down hard on his head and shoulder. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, though he's likely being evaluated for a concussion at a minimum. After spending a brief time in the medical tent, Lamb walked to the locker room.

Gipson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

The kickoff/punt returner suffered the injury in Week 12 against the Cowboys, missed practice the following week and then sat out the game against the Bears in Week 13. His return to practice could be a sign that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Chargers, though his status Friday and Saturday will still be worth monitoring. Gipson may get a chance to reclaim his kickoff and punt-return duties if he's able to suit up versus Los Angeles.

Dotson (toe) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

It appears to be a new issue for the wide receiver, who played 31 offensive snaps on Black Friday against Chicago. Dotson's status will be worth monitoring as the practice week continues ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Chargers. The fourth-year pro has 11 catches for 206 yards and a touchdown this year.

Weaver (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

It appears to be a new issue for the wide receiver, as he was not listed on Wednesday's report. Weaver stands behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch on the depth chart, but Harrison (heel) and Dortch (chest) haven't practiced yet this week. If both end up missing Sunday's game, Weaver could see significant playing time.

Henning was suspended was handed a suspension by the NFL on Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Henning has spent the entirety of the season on Miami's practice squad, and he'll now be sidelined for an undisclosed amount of time. It's unclear what infraction the wide receiver committed, but his absence naturally won't make a major impact on the Dolphins.

Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against Detroit.

Tolbert is a healthy scratch for the second time in three weeks, heading to the bench in favor of Jonathan Mingo in Week 14. Tolbert played 18 snaps on offense in the team's win over the Chiefs on Thanksgiving, his highest total since Week 7, but he failed to garner a target.

Mingo is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Lions.

Mingo will be active for just the second time this season, suiting up in place of Jalen Tolbert (coach's decision) against Detroit. Mingo has played just three snaps on offense this year, failing to garner a target. He'll operate behind Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin in Week 14.

Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

When coach Sean McVay announced Wednesday that Adams wouldn't practice to begin Week 14 prep, he added that the veteran wide receiver was among a group of banged-up Rams that are expected to be available Sunday at Arizona. Adams then told Nate Atkins of The Athletic on Thursday that his left hamstring issue happened early this past Sunday at Carolina, a contest in which he hauled in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Adams has a designation going into the weekend.

The Saints signed Austin to the practice squad Thursday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Austin appeared on the Saints' active roster for both Weeks 12 and 13, where he recorded a total of 15 snaps on offense and five on special teams. The 25-year-old was waived by the Saints on Tuesday, but he will reprise his role on New Orleans' practice squad.
