Hill missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Hill practiced fully Wednesday, so the wideout's status now is worth monitoring closely as this weekend's game against the Chargers approaches. Friday's practice/injury report will provide further context regarding Hill's Week 14 status ahead of Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Toney (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Back-to-back limited practice sessions have Toney trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. If Toney is able to return from a two-game absence this weekend, the 2021 first-rounder could claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 14 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still on IR.

Sutton (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

Coach Nathaniel Hackett previously told Kinney that Sutton -- who also missed practice Wednesday -- is unlikely to play Sunday against the Chiefs. If Sutton is ruled out for the contest, Kendall Hinton and Brandon Johnson would be in line to log added WR snaps for Denver in Week 14.

Jeudy (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jeudy returned from a two-game absence in this past Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens, catching all four of his targets for 65 yards while playing 19 snaps. Since then, he's logged two straight limited practices, but unless Jeudy works fully Friday, he'll likely head into this weekend's game against Kansas City with an injury designation. According to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Thursday that he expects Jeudy to be available against the Chiefs, though Hackett still is working out whether the receiver will be on a restricted snap count like he was last week.

Williams (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

Williams was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, but Thursday's full practice puts the wideout -- who last played Week 11 -- in a position to return to action Sunday night against the Dolphins. In the eight games Williams has suited up for this season, he's logged a 38-510-3 line on 60 targets, and as long as he avoids any setbacks Friday, the 28-year-old should reclaim a key role in the Chargers' Week 14 passing attack alongside Keenan Allen, with Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter also candidates to factor in.

Raymond (illness) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

The Lions have held Raymond out of both sessions so far to begin Week 14 prep, giving him just one more chance to take part in drills before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, he's taken a fall down Detroit's WR depth chart with the recent debut of rookie first-round pick Jameson Williams. All of Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds and Williams appear to be ahead of Raymond at the position.

Bell (thumb) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Though Bell's practice reps have been capped for both of the Browns' first two Week 14 sessions, the rookie wideout said Thursday that he'll be good to go for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic. In order to enter the weekend minus a designation, however, Bell may need to upgrade to full practice activity Friday. If available Sunday, Bell will likely serve as the Browns' clear No. 3 wideout after his main challenger for the role, Anthony Schwartz (concussion), was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Meyers, who didn't participate in Thursday's practice, is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Meyers was forced out of last Thursday's loss to the Bills due to a reported head injury, but now it's been confirmed that the wideout is dealing with a concussion ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Meyers now has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but if he's unavailable versus Arizona, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton would be candidates to log added Week 14 WR snaps and targets.

Dortch (thumb) practiced in full Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After going off for a career-high 109 yards on nine catches during a Week 11 loss to the 49ers, Dortch didn't practice in the ensuing week due to a thumb injury and eventually went down as one of the Cardinals' inactives Week 12 against the Chargers. With the benefit of Arizona's bye week, though, he's able to handle all on-field work, which can't be said for DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Rondale Moore (groin), both of whom were DNPs on Thursday. Arizona still has two more sessions to go during Week 14 prep, but if one or both of Hopkins and/or Moore are limited or out Monday versus the Patriots, Dortch could take on a bigger role alongside the likes of Marquise Brown and A.J. Green.

Cooper was limited at practice Thursday due to a hip injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cooper was rested during Wednesday's session, but now the wideout appears to be dealing with a legitimate injury. Cleveland will release its final Week 14 injury report Friday, when it will be known whether the Browns' top wideout approaches Sunday's contest against the Bengals with or without an injury designation.
