Doubs (ankle) worked with the rehab group during Thursday's practice, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. However, Doubs went down as a non-participant on the injury report.

The on-field work marked Doubs' first since picking up a high-ankle sprain back in Week 9, which has sidelined him the last two games. Coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday that the Packers weren't ready to rule Doubs out for a third consecutive contest until they viewed how he progressed this week. Considering Doubs has yet to be listed as limited, he seems to be trending another absence Sunday at Philadelphia, something that may be confirmed as soon as Friday. Question marks remain in the Green Bay receiving corps, as both Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Randall Cobb (illness) had a cap on their reps both Wednesday and Thursday, leaving fellow rookie Christian Watson, Sammy Watkins and Samori Toure as the healthy options at the position.

Eskridge (hand) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Eskridge exited the team's Week 10 game against the Buccaneers with the injury, and after a Week 11 bye, the second-year-pro has still yet to practice. Although his influence on the offense is minor, he does operate as the team's return man. If he's unable to play Sunday against the Raiders, Dareke Young will likely move up the wideout depth chart, while DeeJay Dallas may take full control of the return duties.

Williams (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.

Williams also missed Wednesday's session, so he'll presumably need to practice in some fashion Friday in order to play Sunday against the Cardinals. If Williams ends up being ruled out for the contest, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be in line to see expanded opportunities at wide receiver alongside Keenan Allen in Week 12.

Emezie signed with the Falcons' practice squad Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Emezie will get a new opportunity after being cut from the Panthers' practice squad Nov. 14. The rookie wideout was invited to Carolina's rookie minicamp after going undrafted out of NC State, and he later landed a deal with the team. This news comes as the team also waived Bryan Edwards on Thursday.

Samuel (hamstring) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

Since being inactive Week 8 due to a hamstring issue, Samuel has made back-to-back appearances following the 49ers' Week 9 bye, combining for 145 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 16 touches. His snap share (58 percent) was impacted Week 11 only by the fact that the team was in the midst of blowing out the Cardinals, so his practice limitations Wednesday and Thursday could be maintenance-related with the rest of the campaign in mind. Friday's report may provide some clarity regarding Samuel's status ahead of Sunday's outing against the Saints.

Gage (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report.

Gage has yet to log anything but a DNP on Buccaneers injury reports since hurting his hamstring back in Week 7. However, he was seen working with the training staff on the side during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Another absence may be in the offing for Gage on Sunday in Cleveland, which may be confirmed as early as Friday. While he's sidelined, Tampa Bay will continue to rely on Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as its top wide receivers, with Julio Jones and Scotty Miller next up for snaps and targets.

Cobb (illness) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

Cobb's health concern is an ailment as opposed to an injury, which so far has capped his on-field reps during Week 12 prep. Assuming he's able to put the illness behind him for Sunday's road matchup with the Eagles -- be it on Friday's report or upon the release of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff -- he again will be an option at wide receiver for Aaron Rodgers.

Dortch (thumb) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After posting the first 100-yard game of his pro career Monday against the 49ers, Dortch was revealed to be dealing with a thumb injury that required an MRI and hasn't allowed him to take part in either walkthrough during Week 12 prep. It's unclear if he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, but the Cardinals could reveal the statuses of both Dortch and Rondale Moore (groin) as soon as Friday. With Marquise Brown (foot) currently in his 21-day window to be activated from IR, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson are Arizona's healthy wide receivers on the active roster.

St. Brown caught nine of 10 targets for 122 yards with one touchdown while rushing once for seven yards during Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.

The Bills didn't have much of an answer for St. Brown, who has been a menace in 2022 when he doesn't seem to be the only above-average wideout the Lions have on the field. In the four games in which DJ Chark and his 4.3 speed has logged more than 10 offensive snaps, St. Brown now has 32 receptions for 375 receiving yards with four touchdowns. Considering those numbers are somehow in line with his explosive 2021 breakout, it will be interesting to see if St. Brown can maintain his productive ways now that Detroit's offense is getting significantly healthier. Next up is a Week 13 matchup against a Jaguars defense that has been much better against the run than the pass in 2022.

Moore (groin) didn't participate in Thursday's walkthrough, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Despite the Cardinals not holding an actual practice so far this week, Moore wouldn't have take part if the team had due to the groin injury that forced him out of Monday's loss to the 49ers in Mexico City after two offensive snaps. Coach Kliff Kingsbury is of the belief that Moore will need "at least a week" away from the field, per Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com, so Arizona may make a ruling on his availability for a Week 12 matchup with the Chargers as soon as Friday. With Greg Dortch (thumb) also a DNP on Wednesday and Thursday and Marquise Brown (foot) uncertain to be activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson currently are the healthy options at wide receiver for the Cards.
