Smith (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.

Smith tended to a knee injury last week, so the cap on his reps this week may be maintenance-related to keep him as close to 100 percent as possible. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver A.J. Brown was a DNP on Thursday due to an illness, a reality that could bump up Smith to No. 1 on the WR depth chart for the Eagles if the former is limited or sidelined this weekend. In the end, Friday's report may clarify the statuses of both Brown and Smith for Sunday's game versus the Packers.

Brown was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report due to an illness.

After avoiding the report entirely Wednesday, Brown now is dealing with some sort of ailment. He'll have one more practice and two more days to get healthy enough to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Packers. If Brown is limited or out this weekend, DeVonta Smith would become the Eagles' No. 1 wide receiver by default, but he also was added to Thursday's report as limited by a knee injury. As a result, the situation will be one to watch as the week continues to get a sense of both players' potential to play.

Toney (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.

Toney didn't practice Wednesday, so the wideout's continued absence Thursday clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Rams. On the plus side for the Chiefs, fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) was able to practice fully for the second straight day. If Toney can't play this weekend, added Week 12 snaps would be available for Justin Watson and Skyy Moore.

Boykin (oblique) didn't practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Boykin sustained an oblique injury Sunday against the Bengals, and it was discouraging to see him absent from practice Thursday. If he hopes to suit up Monday against Indianapolis, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity later in the week.

Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

The Rams only held a jog-through Thursday, but Robinson would have maintained his activity level from one day prior if they'd held an actual session. His status for Sunday's game at Kansas City thus may come down to how much work he's able to handle Friday, at which point he may be given an injury designation for Week 12. If Robinson is available this weekend, he likely will be on the receiving end of passes from Bryce Perkins with Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck) ruled out and John Wolford still tending to a neck issue.

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.
