Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Jeudy was limited at practice last week and was deemed questionable for the Broncos' Week 17 contest against the Chiefs, but he ended up suiting up and recording an 89 percent snap share in the 27-24 loss. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, the wideout was likely limited for precautionary reasons and should be on track to play in this Sunday's season finale versus the Chargers.

Watson (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice.

After injuring his hip Week 16 at Miami, Watson managed just one limited session last Friday and went into the weekend listed as questionable. He was able to suit up this past Sunday against the Vikings and rank second among Packers wide receivers in snap share (60 percent) behind Allen Lazard, but the usage only resulted in an 11-yard catch on five targets for the rookie second-round pick. Watson still is tending to the health concern during Week 18 prep, but there's been no word that he's in danger of missing Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Parker (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

In his first practice since suffering a concussion in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, Parker's reps were capped, but his return to the field in any capacity suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim his usual starting role out wide for New England. In 12 appearances this season, Parker has put together a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets.

Meyers (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Following this past weekend's 23-21 win over the Dolphins, Meyers suggested that he was "fine" after aggravating his shoulder injury during the contest. That said, unless he returns to a full practice by Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver is expected to approach Sunday's game against the Bills with an injury designation.

Wilson didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Wilson played 16 snaps (11 offensive) during the Week 17 loss to New England but didn't record any offensive stats. It's unclear when he suffered the hip injury, but his lack of participation Wednesday is concerning. The reserve wideout will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

Dulin (concussion) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

Dulin, who was sidelined for Week 17, appears to be in the final stages of concussion protocol and, barring a setback, should be able to return in Week 18. The fourth-year wideout has caught 15 of 22 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown across 11 appearances this season.

Johnson missed Wednesday's practice with a hip injury.

Johnson has been listed with hip and/or toe injuries for the past month without missing a single game. A return to practice Thursday, even in a limited capacity, would put him on track to play Sunday against the Browns. Another absence, on the other hand, might be cause for legitimate concern as the tries to go 17-for-17 in appearances in an otherwise disappointing campaign.

Burks was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a groin issue, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks practiced fully Tuesday, so his addition to the Titans' injury report Wednesday is noteworthy and could be indicative of an in-practice setback. Tennessee will release its final Week 18 injury report Thursday, at which point more clarity on Burks' status for Saturday's game against the Jaguars should arrive. If available for the showdown for the AFC South title, Burks will be catching passes once again from Joshua Dobbs, who will draw a second straight start after supplanting Malik Willis on the depth chart last week. In last week's loss to the Cowboys, Burks reeled in four of eight targets for 66 yards.

Lockett won't practice Wednesday due to a shin injury but said he will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Lockett returned from finger surgery to play in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets, but he picked up a shin bruise along the way and ultimately saw only two targets while playing less than 40 percent of Seattle's offensive snaps. He should have a bigger role Week 18 against the Rams even if he's not 100 percent, as the Seahawks need a win (plus a bit of help) to secure the final wild-card spot in the NFC. Lockett likely will try to practice Thursday or Friday to gauge his readiness for the regular-season finale.

Waddle was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Waddle played through a shoulder injury in October without missing any games, and he'll likely do the same this weekend against the Jets as the Dolphins fight for the final wild-card spot in the AFC. Skylar Thompson took the first team-reps at quarterback during practice Wednesday with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) unavailable and with Teddy Bridgewater limited due to a dislocated finger. Thompson looks to be trending toward the Week 18 start at this stage, which would likely be a more negative development to Waddle's fantasy prospects than if Bridgewater were to receive the start.
