Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Moore was listed as a limited participant on all three Week 15 practice reports due to the same health concern before handling a 90 percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday at Buffalo. The results in the box score were modest -- six catches (on 11 targets) for 48 yards -- and he's only scored one touchdown since Week 4. Now, with no practice activity to begin Week 16 prep, Moore's status will be one to watch to ensure he's available this weekend against the Buccaneers.

Eskridge didn't catch any of his four targets in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.

Eskridge handled his biggest snap share of the season (70 percent), largely because Tyler Lockett (illness) missed the game while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The rookie second-round pick has played in only seven games this season, recording just seven receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown.

Harry (head) was on the field for practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Meanwhile, Nelson Agholor (head) and Kendrick Bourne (reserve/COVID-19 list) were absent from the Patriots' first Week 16 session. If neither or both players aren't cleared to play Sunday against the Bills, Harry -- assuming he's available -- would be in line for added snaps alongside Jakobi Meyers.

Tennessee is expected to reinstate Brown (chest) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, barring any setbacks in practice Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sidelined since suffering a chest injury Week 11, Brown was designated to return from IR on Monday, with the move opening up a 21-day window for the Titans to evaluate him in practice. Based on how Brown has checked out during his first two walk-through sessions, the Titans aren't expected to need the full window to assess his health, and the 24-year-old wideout looks like he may even be ready to play on a short week. If the team plans on having Brown suit up against San Francisco, he won't have to be activated until a few hours prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, so official word on his Week 16 status may not arrive for another day. Brown's return in any capacity Thursday would be a big boon to a decimated Titans pass-catching corps that could be without Julio Jones, who aggravated a hamstring injury in last week's loss to the Steelers.

Agholor (head) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

With Agholor sidelined and Kendrick Bourne (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jakobi Meyers, N'Keal Harry (hip) and Gunner Olszewski were among the Patriots' wideouts present for Wednesday's session.

Skowronek caught four of five targets for 42 yards during Tuesday's 20-10 win over Seattle.

The rookie's four receptions for 42 yards were both career-high marks, and for what it's worth, Skowronek's stat line was better than the combined numbers of Odell Beckham and Van Jefferson in Tuesday's win. Still, Skowronek mainly worked underneath, and it's unlikely he leapfrogs either Beckham or Jefferson in fantasy value in the foreseeable future. Additionally, tight end Tyler Higbee's eventual return from the reserve/COVID-19 list should also cut into Skowronek's target share.

Jefferson caught both his targets for 23 yards and carried once for a 10-yard gain during Tuesday's 20-10 win over Seattle.

Jefferson saw a three-game touchdown streak come to an end and accounted for his fewest yards from scrimmage since Week 6 in what amounted to a disappointing outing for the second-year wideout. He's still in the midst of a respectable season overall, registering 43 receptions for 702 yards and six touchdowns. While there's potential for Jefferson to take another step forward in 2022, the Rams have a crowded receiving corps, which has also contributed to his game-to-game inconsistency this season.

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday that he doesn't have an update on Ridley, who remains on the reserve/non-football injury list due to a personal matter, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

Ridley has been out since Week 7 to focus on his mental well-being. At this point, he'll likely sit out the rest of the season, though nothing has been confirmed one way or the other.

Humphries hauled in three of six targets for 23 yards in Tuesday's 27-17 loss to the Eagles.

Though Washington was breaking in third-stringer Garrett Gilbert as its starting quarterback Tuesday, Humphries remained involved in the passing game. He's now had multiple catches in each of the last five games, securing 15 of 22 targets for 139 yards during that stretch.

Carter secured two of three targets for 12 yards and carried once for 12 yards in Tuesday's 27-17 loss to Philadelphia.

Carter has now had at least three targets in six of the last seven games, but he's totaled just 30 receiving yards across the last three weeks. He struggled with efficiency once again Tuesday with the newly signed Garrett Gilbert under center and ranked seventh on the team in receiving yards. Across his last seven appearances, the 28-year-old has hauled in 17 of 30 targets for 201 yards and three touchdowns while rushing four times for 17 yards.
