Baltimore signed Bridges to its practice squad Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

Bridges, an undrafted free agent out of Fort Valley State, was waived by Baltimore with an injury settlement at the beginning of September, but now that he's healthy, he'll rejoin the organization via a practice-squad deal. The rookie wideout caught four passes for 62 yards and a score during an exhibition contest against the Titans and will look to parlay his preseason success into a spot on the active roster.

Doubs (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Doubs was a near-every-down player before suffering his ankle injury Week 9, but he was trending down even before getting hurt and likely will be returning to a smaller role now that fellow rookie Christian Watson is thriving across from veteran wideout Allen Lazard. The Packers also have Randall Cobb in the slot, potentially making Doubs the No. 4 receiver when he returns. Depending on how he progresses in practice this week, Doubs could be back in action as soon as this Sunday in Chicago.

Milne (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Milne missed his first game of the season in Week 12 with a foot injury and remains sidelined to start Week 13 prep due to the issue. The second-year wideout will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Jeudy (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Both Jeudy and KJ Hamler (hamstring) missed the past two games and are in danger of missing Sunday's contest in Baltimore after starting Week 13 prep as non-participants. With Jeudy and Hamler out, Kendall Hinton has worked as Denver's No. 2 receiver, while practice-squad call-up Brandon Johnson has taken most of the No. 3 snaps.

Dulin went without a target while playing 22 of the Colts' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Dulin has yet to draw a look in the passing game despite playing 52 snaps on offense. He'll remain an afterthought in the Indianapolis passing offense behind the starting receiver trio of Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce, running back Jonathan Taylor and the tight-end triumvirate of Kylen Granson (illness), Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox.

Sims was targeted three times and recorded two catches for nine yards in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

Even though the Nov. 1 trade that sent Chase Claypool to the Bears has opened up more work for Sims, he's still had to split the No. 3 receiver role with Gunner Olszewski, while Diontae Johnson and George Pickens have been every-down players. In the three games since the Claypool trade, Sims has produced a modest 3-24-0 receiving line on seven targets.

Toney (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Head coach Andy Reid noted that Toney's condition is improving, but with an absence from practice on tap to begin the week, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is uncertain. Toney has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during Kansas City's Week 11 win over the Chargers.

Olszewski went without a target but carried once for a nine-yard gain in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

Since Chase Claypool was traded to the Bears on Nov. 1, Olszewski and Steven Sims have essentially shared the No. 3 receiver role while Diontae Johnson and George Pickens have led the position group. In the three games that have followed, Sims has played 84 snaps on offense, while Olszewski has logged 72. In that span, Olszewksi has recorded 52 total yards on four touches (three catches, one carry).

Smith-Schuster won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Smith-Schuster now has two more days to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, but if the wide receiver is able to play this weekend, he'll continue to be a key cog in Kansas City's passing game. Meanwhile, Kadarius Toney (hamstring) will also miss practice Wednesday and looks like a far less certain bet than Smith-Schuster to make it back for the Week 13 contest.

Chase (hip) said Wednesday that he's preparing as though he'll play Sunday against the Chiefs, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

The wideout -- who last suited up Week 7 -- indicated that he'll see how the rest of the week goes, but he affirmed that he's "expecting to take some reps" versus Kansas City. Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Chase disclosed that he's returning from a hairline fracture of his hip and a hyperextended right leg, and while there had been hope that he would play in the Week 12 win over the Titans, he wasn't feeling comfortable enough to take the field. As this weekend's game approaches, however, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer relays that Chase says his hip is now pain-free.
