Davis (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cimini reiterated Wednesday what head coach Robert Saleh said Monday, which is that the Jets are hopeful Davis will clear the concussion protocol in time to play this Sunday against Detroit. With one absence from practice to begin the week, Davis will likely need to make some sort of appearance in practice by Friday to have any chance of clearing the five-step protocol by Sunday.

Toney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Toney's practice workload should be monitored Thursday and Friday, as an escalation in his activity level would provide more reassurance about his expected return to the field Sunday against Houston. If Toney plays against the Texans, it would mark his first appearance since Week 11.

Robinson (illness) practiced fully Wednesday.

After sitting out Tuesday's walk-through session, Robinson's return to full activity Wednesday should clear the way for his to handle his usual three-down role when the Ravens play the Browns on Saturday. What's less clear is what will go on at quarterback for the Ravens, as Lamar Jackson (knee) didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday. Meanwhile, top backup Tyler Huntley -- who started the Week 14 win over the Steelers before exiting with a concussion -- practiced Tuesday and Wednesday but still remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Huntley isn't cleared to start this weekend and Jackson remains out, the Ravens would likely turn to undrafted rookie Anthony Brown to pick up the start.

Woods didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The nature of Woods' ailment isn't known, but if he misses a second day of practice Thursday, then it would add yet another layer of concern for his availability this weekend against the Chargers. While rookie first-round pick Treylon Burks (concussion) was sidelined for this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, Woods recorded five receptions for 49 yards on seven targets. He's now drawn seven or more targets in five of his 13 appearances on the season.

Boyd (finger) was a limited participated at practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Tee Higgins (hamstring) joined Boyd as a limited participant, with head coach Zac Taylor noting that the two receivers are considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. A dislocated finger limited Boyd to just two snaps in the Bengals' Week 14 win over the Browns, but the wideout expressed confidence that he'll be ready to play his usual allotment of snaps this weekend, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Higgins (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Tyler Boyd (finger) also was limited, with head coach Zac Taylor having previously noted that the two receivers are viewed as day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, per Conway. Higgins' hamstring issue limited him to just one snap in the Week 14 win over the Browns, while Boyd suffered a dislocated finger in that contest and played just two snaps.

Burks (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

With head coach Mike Vrabel confirming earlier Wednesday that Burks was still in the concussion protocol, the rookie wideout's continued absence from practice isn't unexpected. If Burks can get back on the practice field in some capacity Thursday and/or Friday in addition to gaining clearance from an independent neurologist, he'll still have a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Taylor was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

It's unclear when Taylor suffered the injury, but in any case, it resulted in his reps being capped during the Bengals' first Week 15 practice. With Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Tyler Boyd (finger) both banged up and uncertain to play Sunday against the Buccaneers at this stage of the week, Taylor's status takes on greater meaning. The 28-year-old played a season-high 47 snaps on offense in last Sunday's win over the Browns, finishing with a 34-yard reception on four targets.

Watkins was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Watkins injured the shoulder against Tennessee two weeks ago and played through it last Sunday's win over the Giants, drawing five targets on 30 snaps and catching four for 19 yards in less than ideal weather. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday of last week before the Eagles removed his injury designation Friday, so if that same pattern unfolds this week then he should again be in store for his usual slot-heavy role this Sunday at Chicago.

Arizona placed Moore (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Moore's recovery from a groin injury apparently isn't going well, and his fantasy value likely would have taken a hit even if he was healthy enough to come back late in the season, given that DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown are available to soak targets from new starting quarterback Colt McCoy while Kyler Murray (knee) is out for the final four contests. Moore submitted some strong performances in his second NFL season, in between the hamstring injury that cost him Weeks 1 through 3 and the groin issue that's now sidelined him since Week 11. The 2021 second-round pick averaged 5.9 catches for 59.1 yards in a seven-game stretch Weeks 4 through 10, right before he suffered the season-ending injury. Moore should be a big part of the Arizona offense next season, be it under head coach Kliff Kingsbury's direction or someone else's.
