Powell didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Las Vegas, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Along with Powell, fellow wideout Lance McCutcheon (shoulder) is also listed as questionable, so the Rams' passing attack could be further depleted against Las Vegas if neither gains clearance ahead of the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Powell has played north of 40 percent of the Rams' offensive snaps in both of the past two weeks, carrying three times for 45 yards and adding six receptions for 45 yards on six targets.

McCutcheon (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

McCutcheon logged limited sessions Tuesday and Wednesday after not practicing Monday due to a shoulder injury that's already cost him one contest. Brandon Powell (illness) is also questionable, so the Rams' passing attack -- which already without quarterback Matthew Stafford (neck) and receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) -- may be without two more weapons against Las Vegas.

Skowronek (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Raiders, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed Monday that Skowronek was tending to a shoulder injury, which resulted in limited listings on Monday's estimated practice report and for Tuesday's walk-through session. On Wednesday, Skowronek was labeled a full participant at the Rams' jog-through session and now is ready to roll Week 14. With both Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Allen Robinson (foot) sidelined this past Sunday against the Seahawks, Skowronek earned his second-highest snap share of the season (97 percent) but turned the elevated workload into just two catches (on three targets) for 30 yards.

Toney (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Toney, who has missed two straight games, didn't practice last week, so the wideout's limited session Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. If Toney is able to suit up this weekend, he could step into a key role in Kansas City's passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, given that Mecole Hardman (abdomen) remains on injured reserve.

Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Jeudy came back from a two-game absence to catch each of his four targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss at Baltimore. The yardage total was his third-best mark of the season, even though he played only 20 snaps (38 percent). He should play significantly more this week against the Chiefs, likely serving as Denver's clear No. 1 receiver with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) now expected to miss at least one game.

Williams (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through session.

The wideout didn't practice at all last week, so his limited listing Wednesday represents a step in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Dolphins approaches. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, head coach Brandon Staley said that he's viewing Williams -- who last suited up Week 11 -- as day-to-day. If Williams remains out or returns to the field on a limited snap count this weekend, added opportunities would be available for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.

Raymond missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

Raymond has a few days to get healthy before Sunday's matchup with Minnesota, though he's only the fourth or fifth wide receiver now that DJ Chark, Jameson Williams and Josh Reynolds all are healthy. Chark and Reynolds saw most of the playing time alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville, with Raymond playing only 13 snaps and Williams taking eight in his NFL debut. Prior to that, Raymond had played more than three-fourths of Detroit's offensive snaps in seven straight games, averaging 3.7 catches for 46.9 yards on 5.1 targets in that stretch. He still hasn't scored a touchdown this season even with 382 receiving yards, 218 return yards and 24 rushing yards on his ledger.

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

Burks, who was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles after just 10 snaps, has two more chances to return to practice ahead of this weekend's contest against the Jaguars. If the wideout isn't able to clear the concussion protocol and ends up inactive for the game against Jacksonville, however, more opportunities would be available for fellow pass-catchers Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chigoziem Okonkwo.

Bell was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a thumb injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Bell was forced out of Cleveland's Week 13 win in Houston due to the injury, but as long as he's able to upgrade to full participation by Friday, he should be in good shape to play Sunday at Cincinnati. The rookie out of Purdue has held a bit role in the Cleveland passing attack this season, collecting 20 receptions for 169 yards and no touchdowns.

The Cowboys have concerns Beckham (knee) won't be ready to play before mid-January, Ed Werder of ESPN reports.

Beckham visited Dallas on Monday and Tuesday, meeting with team president Jerry Jones and then attending a Dallas Mavericks game with Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and cornerback Trevon Diggs. An earlier report suggested Beckham would pick a team by the end of the week, but that might not be the case if he's considered unlikely to contribute until next season. The 30-year-old wideout suffered an ACL tear during last season's Super Bowl while playing for the Rams -- a team he might be considering now if they hadn't fallen out of the playoff race. In addition to the Cowboys, Beckham has also met with the Bills and the Giants, and those three teams seemingly represent the top suitors for his services.
