Mims (concussion) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Mims had been filling in for Corey Davis, who was a full participant Tuesday after missing the past couple games in concussion protocol. Jeff Smith, who replaced Mims in Sunday's loss to the Lions, also missed Tuesday's practice (with a knee injury). It thus appears Davis could be back in the lineup and handling a full-time role Thursday night against Jacksonville.

Davis (concussion) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Meanwhile, the two guys that replaced Davis on the perimeter the past couple weeks both missed practice -- Denzel Mims with a concussion and Jeff Smith with a knee injury. While he'll still need to clear concussion protocol officially, Davis is trending toward a return to the starting lineup Thursday night against Jacksonville. The Jets have already announced Zach Wilson as their starting QB for at least one more game while Mike White recovers from a rib injury.

Duvernay suffered a foot injury during Tuesday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Ravens reportedly are concerned it's a significant injury and have Duvernay undergoing tests Tuesday afternoon. He hasn't seen many targets recently, but Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson have dominated the WR snaps for Baltimore the past month and a half. The Ravens claimed Sammy Watkins off waivers Tuesday in a move that arguably made sense even without the Duvernay injury.

Olave was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to a hamstring injury.

Aside from sitting out Week 6 with a concussion, Olave has been a model of health during his rookie season en route to 63 catches on 102 targets for 940 yards and three touchdowns in 13 appearances. Now with a new injury, he'll have two more sessions to get back on the field and prove his fitness for Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Lockett underwent surgery on his broken index finger Monday, with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll noting afterward that the receiver could have a chance of returning as soon as Week 17 against the Jets, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

While Lockett's finger injury is significant enough to prevent him from playing Saturday in Kansas City, Carroll relayed that the 30-year-old's surgery was "perfect," leaving the door open for him to miss just one game. The Seahawks will likely have a better sense of Lockett's progress when the team reconvenes for its first Week 17 practice next Wednesday. His absence for Week 16 likely leaves Marquise Goodwin and Laquon Treadwell in line to serve as the Seahawks' Nos. 2 and 3 wideouts behind DK Metcalf, who could take on a larger target share than usual without Lockett on hand.

Johnson (toe) is listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

The Steelers didn't hold an actual practice just two days after defeating the Panthers. They're on a short week, along with most of the NFL, but Johnson seems more likely than not to play after putting up a season-high 98 receiving yards against Carolina. He did play only 74 percent of snaps in the win, his first time below 81 percent share all season.

Irwin had one reception on two targets for five yards in Sunday's 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.

Irwin wasn't much more than an afterthought in Sunday's win against Tampa Bay, as he played 24 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps and was targeted just twice. The 27-year-old likely won't be very involved down the stretch unless any of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins or Tyler Boyd are forced to miss time.

Claypool (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

Claypool failed to practice in any capacity last week before sitting out the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday, so his return to the field in limited fashion as Chicago begins Week 16 prep marks a step in the right direction. The receiver will have two more chances to upgrade to full activity before the Bears potentially give him an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game versus the Bills.

St. Brown (concussion) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

Unsurprisingly, St. Brown wasn't able to get on the field in the Bears' first Week 16 session after he was placed in the concussion protocol following his removal from the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles this past Sunday. The receiver may have difficultly clearing the five-step protocol in advance of Saturday's matchup with the Bills.

Seattle signed Treadwell from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Treadwell has been elevated for three consecutive games with Dee Eskridge (hand) on injured reserve, catching his lone target for one yard across 29 offensive snaps. However, with Tyler Lockett (finger) also out now, Treadwell will get a spot on the active roster for the remainder of the regular season. He figures to compete with Dareke Young and Penny Hart for the No. 3 spot behind DK Metcalf and Marquise Goodwin until Lockett is able to return.
