Robinson (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Robinson practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Ravens' Week 12 injury report Thursday is notable, especially on the heels of a nine-catch, 128-yard effort in this past Sunday's 13-3 win over the Panthers. Friday's final report will add further context with regard to Robinson's chances of suiting up this weekend versus the Jaguars, but if he's out or limited, added wideout snaps would be available for James Proche and Tylan Wallace.

Smith (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.

Smith was also unable to practice Wednesday, giving him back-to-back DNP's ahead of Sunday's contest with the Broncos. With Terrace Marshall (shoulder) also questionable for Week 12, the Panthers could be depleted at wide receiver come game time.

Marshall (shoulder) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

For the second day in a row, Marshall received such a listing, giving him just one more chance to get back to all activity before Carolina potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Broncos. If he's available this weekend, he'll be working with his third quarterback in as many games, with interim coach Steve Wilks going with Sam Darnold under center.

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Back-to-back listed DNPs make what Jeudy is able to do at Friday's practice pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The same applies to KJ Hamler (hamstring), and if one or both of the wideouts is sidelined versus Carolina, Kendall Hinton would continue to see added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton, with Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and possibly practice squad member Brandon Johnson also in the mix Week 12.

Reynolds (back) is listed as active Thursday against the Bills.

After stringing together back-to-back capped sessions to close Week 12 prep, Reynolds is putting an end to a three-game absence due to a back injury. Considering his health may be compromised somewhat, he and DJ Chark (ankle) may merely spell Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond, both of whom have received at least 80 percent shares of the snaps in four consecutive games. In seven appearances this season, Reynolds has averaged 13.7 YPC on his 26 receptions, so a big play is possible working with his long-time teammate Jared Goff.

Reynolds (back) is expected to play Thursday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Reynolds was listed as a limited participant on two of the Lions' practice reports this week, but he should be able to play through his back injury during the Lions' Thanksgiving Day matchup. Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and DJ Chark should serve as Detroit's secondary receivers behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Williams (knee) will not be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list for Thursday's contest against the Bills, but he could make his season debut as early as Week 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Detroit designated Williams for a return to practice Monday, but the rookie first-round pick hasn't yet gone full-speed during drills and never seemed like a realistic candidate to play Thanksgiving Day. Williams is on track to ramp up to a full practice workload next week, and it sounds as though as long as he avoids any setbacks, he could make his NFL debut as early as Dec. 4 versus the Jaguars. On a bright note for Thanksgiving Day, Josh Reynolds (back) is expected to be available for the Lions, per Rapoport.

Eskridge (hand) was a non-participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Eskridge left a Week 10 loss to Tampa Bay with a bruised hand, though head coach Pete Carroll subsequently suggested that the wideout didn't have a major injury. Nonetheless, it's concerning that Eskridge was unable to take part in the Seahawks' first practice following their Week 11 bye. Eskridge hasn't played a major role on offense this season -- he has just seven catches on 13 targets for 58 yards over 10 games -- but he's worked as the team's primary kick returner since Week 7.

Samuel was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a hamstring injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Previously, Samuel sat out Week 8 with a balky hamstring, so there's some cause for concern now that he's made another appearance on the practice report. With the benefit of a Week 9 bye, Samuel has been able to play his typical role in the 49ers offense the last two games, recording nine catches (on 15 targets) for 81 yards and taking seven carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. With two sessions to go during Week 12 prep, Samuel's status will be monitored to get a sense of his availability Sunday versus the Saints.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Brown (foot) likely will be on a "pitch count" Sunday against the Chargers if the Cardinals activate him from injured reserve, Darren of the team's official site reports.

The Cardinals designated Brown for return from IR last Wednesday, but he didn't do enough in practice to get back on the active roster for Monday's eventual loss to the 49ers. Now that he's taking part in drills for a second consecutive week, he may have a better shot to play Sunday, but if he's active he likely won't take on a full allotment of snaps. Arizona's receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with Rondale Moore (groin) expected to miss Week 12 and Greg Dortch (thumb) not taking part in Wednesday's walk-through session. As a result, Brown still could make waves working behind DeAndre Hopkins and potentially ahead of A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson if he's available and if Moore and Dortch aren't.
