Harris (neck) did not practice Wednesday.

Harris briefly appeared on track to return against the Eagles last weekend, but the Saints shut him down again upon further evaluation. Tommylee Lewis figures to be called up from the practice squad to handle return duties again if Harris misses a fourth straight contest.

Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders after being listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's and Wednesday's estimated practice reports.

Los Angeles is also listing Keenan Allen (hamstring) as questionable, with the two receivers' Week 15 statuses set to be confirmed upon the release of the Chargers' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If Williams is limited or out Week 15, added opportunities would be available for Tyron Johnson.

Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders after being listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's and Wednesday's estimated practice reports.

The Chargers also list wide receiver Mike Williams (back) and running back Austin Ekeler (quadriceps) as questionable. The expectation is that Allen will ultimately gain clearance for the Week 15 matchup and handle his usual role, but fantasy managers will need to monitor his status ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. More clarity on that front should arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Grant can't yet be considered a lock for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but it's encouraging to see that he's able to practice in some capacity to begin Week 15. Meanwhile, wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) was also limited Wednesday, but top tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) appears set to miss time with his injury.

Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday for non-injury-related reasons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins began last week in a similar fashion before neck and back issues kept him sidelined Thursday and rendered him questionable ahead of a Week 14 game against the Giants. He ended up playing in the victory over New York, gathering in nine of 11 passes for 136 yards. With no health concern to blame for Wednesday's absence, he's in the clear for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Thomas (ankle) didn't take part in practice Wednesday.

Thomas was listed as a limited participant on the first two Week 14 injury reports before a full session last Friday cleared him to play this past Sunday at Philadelphia. He remained Taysom Hill's clear-cut No. 1 receiver in that contest, hauling in all eight targets for 84 yards. With a downgrade in activity to begin this week, Thomas may just have received a maintenance day for the ankle that has hindered him for most of the campaign. Still, his status -- along with Drew Brees (ribs), who was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday -- will need to be monitored closely as this weekend's game against the Chiefs approaches.

Brown (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Brown missed the first two practices of Week 14 after suffering a non-contact ankle injury in Week 13, but he ultimately suited up in Sunday's win over Jaguars and turned in 112 receiving yards and a touchdown. The explosive receiver appeared to grab his ankle at one point in the contest after being tackled, but Brown was able to shake off the pain and remain in the game. Considering that he's already ahead of schedule compared to last week's practice participation, Brown should be good to go for this weekend's game against the Lions, barring a setback.

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Jeudy has been managing an ankle issue of late and was listed as limited on Tuesday's report, but he's now slated to play Saturday against the Bills. He'll be looking to build off a two-catch, 42-yard effort (on four targets) in Denver's Week 14 win over the Panthers. Prior to that, Jeudy had been limited to just one catch combined in Weeks 12 and 13.

The Ravens placed Boykin on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Boykin's placement on the list means that he either tested positive for COVID-19 or was deemed a close contact of an infected person or persons. Baltimore also placed Marquise Brown and James Proche on the list Wednesday, leaving the Ravens' receiving corps in flux heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

The Ravens placed Brown on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Baltimore also added wideouts Miles Boykin and James Proche to the list, but it's unclear if any of the players tested positive for COVID-19 or if all were simply deemed close contacts of an infected person or persons. Regardless, Brown's move to the list suddenly puts his status in question for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
