Evans sat out Wednesday's walk-through practice due to back tightness, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

While Evans' back issue doesn't sound like a serious one, he'll miss at least one practice ahead of Sunday's game in Indianapolis. He handled a full workload in Monday's win over the Giants, bringing in six of 11 targets for 73 yards and his 10th touchdown of the season, all while playing 82 percent of Tampa Bay's snaps on offense.

Toney is dealing with a quadriceps contusion and won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports that Toney was with the training staff for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, after suffering the injury in question during Monday's loss to Tampa Bay. Toney's activity -- or lack thereof -- in the next two days of practice will be more telling with regard to his chances of playing this weekend against the Eagles.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that Parker (shoulder), who remains on injured reserve, is making progress but won't rejoin the team for practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Parker is eligible to play Sunday against the Panthers after spending the required three games on IR, but the fact that the Dolphins didn't open up his 21-day window evaluation for the start of Week 12 prep isn't a positive early sign for his chances of suiting up this weekend. Will Fuller (finger) also has yet to be designated for return from IR, so Miami could be in line for another game without two of its starting receivers.

Lamb (concussion) will return to practice Wednesday, giving him a shot to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The star wideout seems to be making quick progress through the five-step concussion protocol and likely would be on track to suit up if the Cowboys played Sunday rather than Thursday. As it is, Lamb remains uncertain to play Thanksgiving Day, though his return to practice reportedly has the Cowboys feeling optimistic that he'll clear protocol ahead of the 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The team is already without of its other starting wideouts Amari Cooper (illness) this week.

Beasley (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Saints.

On a short week, Beasley was listed as limited for Monday and Tuesday's practice reports before upgrading to full Wednesday. Minus a Week 12 injury tag, Beasley will continue to play through the rib issue he's been managing in recent games. After logging just nine snaps in a Week 10 win over the Jets, he was on the field for 32 snaps in Sunday's blowout loss to the Colts, finishing with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets. Barring any in-game setbacks, Beasley should see his share of targets out of the slot Thursday while facing a New Orleans defense that has allowed an average of 252.2 passing yards per game this season.

Robinson failed to draw a target in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Robinson played 41 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps Sunday, placing him behind fellow wide receivers Tyreek Hill, Byron Pringle and Josh Gordon. Going forward, Robinson will likely continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 27-year-old heads into the Chiefs' bye week with 16 receptions, 175 yards and two touchdowns so far this season.

Pringle secured one of two targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Pringle played 59 percent of the team's offensive snaps, second to only Tyreek Hill among Kansas City receivers. The Chiefs offense didn't get much going through the air Sunday, and Pringle's 37-yard grab was the team's longest play of the day. The veteran wideout enters the team's Week 12 bye with a total of 23 catches, 338 yards and three touchdowns on the campaign.

Hardman caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Hardman played just 12 of the Chiefs' 68 offensive snaps in the contest, accounting for a season-low 18 percent snap share. The 23-year-old wideout was already struggling to meet expectations this season, and his low snap totals over the past two games aren't a promising sign for his ability to turn things around in 2021. Kansas City is on bye Week 12, so Hardman will have to wait until Dec. 5 against the Broncos to try and submit a bounce-back performance.

Sims caught both of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

Sims' touchdown came on a six-yard grab from Taylor Heinicke in the second quarter to tie the game. The score marks the wideout's first trip to the end zone of the season. The 25-year-old played just 11 of Washington's 67 offensive snaps in the victory, as he continues to be far down the team's pecking order of pass catchers.

Humphries secured both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Panthers.

Humphries played just 45 percent of Washington's offensive snaps and made little out of his opportunities. The 2021 season has been an underwhelming one for the veteran wideout, as he has yet to find the end zone and is averaging a paltry 25.5 yards per game.
