Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Suiting up Thursday
St. Brown (ankle) is listed as active Thursday against the Cowboys.
Last Thursday against the Packers, St. Brown injured his ankle on the Lions' second possession and wasn't able to return. He was diagnosed with a low left-ankle sprain in the wake of the contest, and he didn't practice Monday through Wednesday this week before the team listed him as questionable for Week 14 action. Along the way, coach Dan Campbell told Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that "if he can play, he'll play," and that now has been confirmed after St. Brown completed a pregame workout, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com and Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net. It's unclear if St. Brown will have any restrictions, but he at least is available for QB Jared Goff along with fellow WR Jameson Williams and RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited by shoulder injury
Johnston (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.
Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Johnston wore a non-contact jersey during Thursday's session, with the Chargers' ensuing injury report revealing that the wideout is managing a shoulder issue. Johnston now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles. After recording five catches for 42 yards on 10 targets in Week 10, Johnston has been targeted three times in each of his last two outings, though he did manage to put up a 3-23-1 receiving line in this past Sunday's win over the Raiders.

Greg Dortch WR | ARI
Cardinals' Greg Dortch: No practice again Thursday
Dortch (chest) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Dortch haven't been able to mix into drills this week, giving them one more chance Friday to do so or else be at risk of being unavailable Sunday against the Rams. Dortch served as the No. 2 WR when Harrison was sidelined Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, a span in which he hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns. If Dortch is able to practice Friday, he could put himself in a position to fill in for Harrison along with Michael Wilson, assuming Harrison is trending toward more missed time.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Added to injury report Thursday
Bryant (hamstring) was limited at practice Thursday.
Bryant wasn't on the Broncos' initial injury report, so it's possible the wideout's hamstring issue occurred during Thursday's session. Friday's report thus is set to clarify whether Bryant approaches Sunday's game against the Raiders with an injury designation or cleared for Week 14 action. Over his last two contests, the 2025 third-round pick has combined to record eight catches (on 13 targets) for 124 yards.

Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Another full practice
Brown (groin/knee) was a full practice participant Thursday.
With back-to-back uncapped sessions now under his belt this week, Brown seems to be closing in on his first game action since Week 2, but he'll still need to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report and also be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon to have a chance to play Sunday at Minnesota.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Still not practicing
Williams (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
Williams initially was listed with a foot injury in advance of a Week 10 matchup with the Eagles, and while he played through it for three games, he hasn't taken part in any drills since Nov. 21. He thus appears in danger of missing a second contest in a row Sunday against the Bears, something that the Packers may confirm when they post their final Week 14 practice report Friday.
-
Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Limited again Thursday
McMillan (neck) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
The Buccaneers designated McMillan for return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he so far has logged a limited walkthrough and a capped practice this week. He's seeking his first game action since preseason Week 2 in mid-August, when he suffered three neck fractures and significant ligament damage in his neck that resulted in him wearing a neck brace for a lengthy span of time. McMillan may require a ramp-up period in order to be activated from IR, but Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he even has a chance to play Sunday against the Saints.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Limited Thursday after FP on Wednesday
Bateman (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.
Bateman worked fully Wednesday, but a limited session a day later makes the wideout's Week 14 status worth tracking for those who roster him in deeper formats. In the 10 games Bateman has played in this season, he's caught more than two passes only once, en route to compiling a 16-194-2 line on 32 targets.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Downgrades to limited Thursday
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Walker downgraded to a limited participant Thursday after logging a full practice Wednesday. The diminishing participation indicates a setback and puts the wide receiver's chances of playing in Sunday's divisional matchup with the Steelers into question. The 24-year-old will have one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before the Ravens release their final Week 14 injury report.
-
Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Another limited showing
Wicks (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Wicks previously was dealing with a calf issue that sidelined him in Weeks 8 and 9, but he's played through the injury in each of the last four games, compiling a 13-173-2 line on 21 targets during that span. An ankle concern has capped his practice reps so far this week, but he at least will have one more chance to get back to full Friday before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Bears.
