Brown (groin/knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

The Commanders opened Brown's 21-day window to practice, though he is still on injured reserve. It's unclear at this point if he has a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If so, he could be the team's No. 2 or 3 wide receiver, depending on the health of Terry McLaurin (quad). Brown hasn't played since Week 2.

Harrison (appendix) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison underwent an appendectomy after Week 10 action and subsequently was sidelined Weeks 11 and 12. Coach Jonathan Gannon didn't provide a timetable for Harrison's next game action as of Monday, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com, but the second-year pro at least is putting himself in a position to play Sunday at Tampa Bay following Wednesday's development. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Arizona is giving Harrison a chance to return in Week 13.

Godwin (fibula) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

In his return to action this past Sunday at the Rams, Godwin took on a smaller workload than normal, logging a 34 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for nine yards. His fibula injury continues to bother him, as evidenced by that and Wednesday's capped session, with Friday's injury report set to reveal if he has a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

The Rams designated Atwell (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Atwell now kicks off his 21-day practice window, though head coach Sean McVay has already stated that the 2021 second-round pick is expected to retake the field in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Panthers. In order for Atwell to play Week 13, however, Los Angeles will first have to add him to the 53-man roster. Once back in action, Atwell will resume contributing as a complementary deep threat behind starting wideouts Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington.

McLaurin (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Coming out of a Week 12 bye, McLaurin took part in an unofficial walk-through Monday and is now officially practicing with his teammates for the first time since Week 8. The Commanders likely will want to see McLaurin upgrade to full practice participation before he's cleared to play, as there isn't much reason to rush things at this point in the season. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) may also return soon, though presumably not for this Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Waddle (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle previously managed a shoulder injury in September and a hamstring issue in October, but Wednesday's practice report is the first time this season he's been listed with a foot issue. So far, those injuries haven't prevented the 27-year-old wideout from suiting up for all 11 of Miami's regular-season games, in which span he's racked up a 49-722-5 receiving line on 73 targets. As long as Waddle is able to maintain at least limited activity during the Dolphins' remaining two practices of Week 13, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Saints.

Thomas (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

In reference to Thomas' chances of returning to action Sunday against the the Titans, coach Liam Coen noted Wednesday that the Jaguars will take it "day-by-day" with the wideout, who last saw game action in Week 9, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville. If Thomas remains out or is limited Sunday against the Titans, Tim Patrick would a candidate to log added Week 13 snaps alongside fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington.

Bateman (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Bengals.

The Ravens listed Bateman as a full practice participant Wednesday for the first time since he sprained his ankle back in Week 10. He'll return from a two-game absence to face one of the NFL's worst defenses, albeit on a cold night in Baltimore while playing for a Ravens offense that doesn't seem to have its usual spark.

Ayomanor (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ayomanor wasn't able to suit up for Tennessee's loss to the Seahawks in Week 12, so it's encouraging too now see him back on the practice field. The rookie fourth-round pick will have two more opportunities to prove he's able to handle full practice reps ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.

Coach Kellen Moore said Olave was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Olave made an early exit from Wednesday's session, after which Moore revealed the reason. The Saints will post two more injury reports this week before potentially clearing up Olave's status ahead of Sunday's contest at Miami. In four games with rookie QB Tyler Shough under center, Olave has produced a 25-294-1 line on 37 targets.
