The Packers plan to activate Cobb (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Even though Cobb wasn't cleared to resume practicing until Tuesday, the Packers appear comfortable enough with what they saw from the veteran slot man is his workouts the past two days to clear him for his first game action since he suffered a right high-ankle sprain Week 6. Because he's missed the past month and only recently resumed practicing, Cobb could be eased back into the mix with a lighter snap count than usual, even while Green Bay remains without one if its top receivers in Romeo Doubs (ankle). In his six outings on the season, Cobb has recorded 18 receptions for 257 yards and zero touchdowns on 26 targets.

Doubs (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Titans.

Doubs hasn't practiced since suffering a right high-ankle sprain in the first quarter of a Nov. 6 loss to the Lions and will now miss his second game in a row. Though he's expected to need around 4-to-6 weeks to recover from the ankle sprain, the Packers' decision thus far not to place Doubs on injured reserve implies that they believe he has a shot at limiting his absence to three games. Doubs thus looks unlikely to make it back for a Week 12 matchup with the Eagles, but a Week 13 return against the Bears on Dec. 4 could still be in the forecast.

Adams was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an abdomen injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

In this past Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts, Adams was on the field for 65 of the Raiders' 70 snaps on offense and finished with nine catches on 14 targets for 126 yards and a touchdown. While Adams' appearance on Wednesday's injury report makes his status worth monitoring, so far there's been nothing to suggest that his availability for this weekend's game against the Broncos is in danger.

Carter was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a rib injury.

Along with Carter, Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) were limited participants at the Chargers' first Week 11 practice. If one or both of Allen and Williams are able to suit up this Sunday against the Chiefs, Carter's workload could take a hit, assuming he's active for the contest. In this past weekend's loss to the 49ers, Carter caught all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown while playing 50 of 58 snaps on offense alongside Joshua Palmer (55 snaps, three catches on eight targets) and Michael Bandy (49 snaps, zero catches).

Perriman logged 18 snaps on offense but did not draw a target during the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks in Week 10.

Perriman was once again outpaced by fellow reserve wideout Scotty Miller despite the latter playing on four fewer snaps. With just two receptions for 12 yards on four targets across a modest 55 snaps in his last five games, Perriman heads into the Week 11 bye with negligible fantasy value.

Collins (groin) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Collins was also limited last week, but he played through his groin issue in his return from a two-game absence in this past Sunday's loss to the Giants and finished with five receptions on a team-high 10 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Collins' listed limitations Wednesday are possibly a matter of rep management ahead of this weekend's game against the Commanders.

Cooks didn't practice Wednesday due to hip and wrist injuries.

Cooks was listed as questionable ahead of last week's game against the Giants on account of the wrist issue, but he suited up in the 24-16 loss and finished with four catches for 37 yards on seven targets to go with one carry for five yards. He's now dealing with a hip issue as this weekend's game against the Commanders approaches, though it's possible that the veteran wideout's absence Wednesday was mostly for maintenance purposes. If he's able to return to practice Thursday in any capacity, Cooks would still be in good shape to play this weekend.

Williams (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant.

Williams was joined on the practice field by Keenan Allen (hamstring), who was also a limited participant. Assuming both Williams and Allen emerge from the week of practice without any setbacks, the Chargers could have their top two receivers available for the first time since Week 7 in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com, Williams, who suffered a right high-ankle sprain Week 7, said that he's "feeling a lot better" at this stage, but he'll presumably need to practice in full by Friday in order to avoid a Week 11 injury designation.

Allen (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Mike Williams (ankle) was also listed as a limited participant Wednesday, which offers hope that the Chargers' top two receivers could return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com Allen -- who last suited up Week 7 -- said that he's taking his situation "just kind of day-by-day" as he works through a lingering left hamstring issue. In two games to date this season, Allen has caught six passes for 77 yards.

Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) participated in individual drills during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Allen said that he hopes he'll be able to play Sunday against the Chiefs, but in any case, his practice participation to begin Week 11 prep can be taken as a good sign. Williams is also hopeful to make his return from a two-game absence, and the potential availability of either or both wideouts would be a nice boost for the 5-4 Chargers in advance of a key divisional contest.
