NFL Player News

Hopkins (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Hopkins now hasn't taken part in a practice since Oct. 22 and has missed consecutive games after being limited to two catches while playing only 24 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 8 loss to the Packers. Prior to his current bout with a hamstring injury, he had missed just two games combined through his first eight NFL seasons, so another absence Sunday in Seattle would eclipse that number just in this month alone. With a Week 12 bye on tap, the Cardinals may be eager to keep Hopkins under wraps for another game to ensure he's ready to go for the stretch run. Regardless, he has two sessions left this week to get on the field and potentially put himself on track for an appearance Sunday.

Brown (thigh) didn't practice Wednesday.

Brown is tending to the injury after he played 55 of a possible 73 offensive snaps and finished with six catches for 37 yards on 13 targets in last week's loss to the Dolphins. The Ravens haven't indicated that Brown's absence from practice was maintenance-related, so his progress will need to be monitored over the next few days to glean a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Lazard didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Lazard was one of a number of Green Bay regulars who were either held out of the walk-through session entirely -- Aaron Rodgers (toe) and David Bakhtiari (knee), to name two players -- or limited (Davante Adams (shoulder). Both Rodgers and Adams focused on rehab instead of on-field work, so Lazard likely was in the same boat. No matter, the status of Lazard will be one to watch to make sure he's trending toward playing Sunday at Minnesota.

Adams was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a shoulder injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams was among a number of Green Bay veterans to have practice limitations to kick off Week 11 prep, including non-participants Aaron Rodgers (toe), Allen Lazard (shoulder) and David Bakhtiari (knee). Because Wednesday's report was an estimate, Adams' ability to stretch out and ride a stationary bike may have been enough for him to receive the "limited" tag. In any case, the health of least Adams and Rodgers really isn't in question, which would be confirmed by both players returning to a full session by week's end.

The Patriots list Harry (knee) as questionable for Thursday's game against the Falcons.

Though Harry was on the field for 35 of the Patriots' 67 offensive snaps in this past Sunday's win over the Browns, he logged just one target. It's possible that the blocking ability he displayed in Week 10 leads to an expanded role for the 2019 first-round selection, but Harry remains a speculative fantasy option in Week 11, assuming he is in uniform. Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne all appear to be ahead of Harry in the pecking order for targets at receiver.

Peoples-Jones was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a groin injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

Peoples-Jones is presumably dealing with the same groin issue that's bothered him since mid-to-late October. So far, Peoples-Jones has missed just one of Cleveland's nine games, with his workload trending up as the season has progressed. He caught just one of five targets for 16 yards in the Week 10 loss to New England, but it was his third time in the past four games reaching the five-target mark. Peoples-Jones likely will be out there this Sunday against the Lions, starting across from Jarvis Landry at wide receiver.

Lamb (triceps) was a full practice participant Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Lamb departed the Cowboys' Week 10 win against the Falcons with what was termed a bruised arm at the time. He still finished with six catches (on seven targets) for 94 yards and two touchdowns, despite logging a season-low 43 percent of snaps. On Monday, Mike McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News that the second-year wide receiver "is going to be fine," and Lamb indeed has upheld his coach's optimism. Lamb thus will prepare himself for Sunday's road contest against a Chiefs defense that has given up 8.5 yards per target to wide receivers this season (11th-most in the NFL).

Mooney was limited in practice Wednesday due to a foot issue.

Mooney has been plagued by injuries this season, with back and groin issues affecting his practice reps. After the Bears' Week 10 bye, he's now tending to a foot concern. On a positive note, Mooney was able to fit in some activity Wednesday, which cannot be said for Allen Robinson (hamstring). In any case, the status of Chicago's top two wide receivers is cloudy in advance of Sunday's contest against the Ravens.

Shepard (quadriceps) remained limited to working on a side field with the Giants' training staff during Wednesday's informal practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Shepard's inability to take reps with his healthy teammates isn't the best sign coming out of a bye week, but he at least has an extra day to prepare with the Giants facing the Buccaneers on "Monday Night Football" in Week 11. The G-Men will release their first official practice report Thursday, at which point Shepard presumably will be listed as either a limited participant or non-participant. He missed a Week 9 loss to Kansas City before last week's bye.

Robinson was unable to practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Previously, the Bears implemented practice limitations on Robinson between Weeks 5 and 8 due to an ankle injury. After having no limitations before the team's last game Week 9, he's emerged from the bye week with a new injury concern. Robinson has been a shell of himself this season from a production standpoint, catching just 30 of 50 targets for 339 yards and one touchdown in nine contests. He'll have two more session this week as he aims to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
