St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

St. Brown's knee injury has lingered all season, and there's no indication that he's in danger of missing Saturday's game against the Panthers. The third-year wide receiver has logged fewer than 20 offensive snaps in three of four games since Allen Lazard (abdomen) returned from IR. His role isn't expected to grow this week.

Lazard (core) is listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

Lazard has yet to be fully unleashed since he returned from injured reserve, playing between 60 and 69 percent of the snaps on offense in three of four games (in the fourth, it was 46 percent). The results (a 11-110-1 line on 17 targets) haven't approached the early season-form -- 13-254-2 on the same number of targets Weeks 1 through 3 -- he displayed prior to core muscle surgery. It's unclear when the Packers will allow him to log 85-90 percent of those plays again, but when he does he could take off with the offense firing on all cylinders at the moment.

Reed (ribs) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

The 22-year-old missed Sunday's win over the Falcons due to the rib injury. Reed should reclaim kick return duties and his depth role in the receiving corps Thursday against the Raiders.

Williams (back) was limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

Williams had an early exit from the Chargers' Week 14 win against the Falcons, lasting just two snaps in the process. The oft-injured wide receiver mostly has avoided breaking down this season, but now with a back issue in tow there's a chance he'll miss his second game of the campaign. Wednesday's report may provide a glimpse into Williams' potential to suit up for Thursday's game at Las Vegas.

Cleveland (illness) was absent from Tuesday's injury report, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Cleveland missed the Week 14 win over Carolina after falling ill but he's good to go moving forward. The 23-year-old wide receiver is ticketed as the team's top kick returner moving forward while handling occasional snaps on offense.

Allen (hamstring) was limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

One day removed from being listed as a non-participant, Allen would have fit in some reps if the Chargers had held practice Tuesday. Considering the upgrade in verbiage, he seems to be trending in the right direction for Thursday's game at Las Vegas, but ultimately Wednesday's report will have the final word on his status.

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jeudy has been battling an ankle issue for most of the past month, with his production suffering as a result. In four games with the injury in tow, he's managed just six catches (on 17 targets) for 84 yards and no scores. Due to the inefficient use of his looks, it's difficult to trust Jeudy at the moment, especially with a tough matchup Saturday versus the Bills.

Guyton caught just one of his three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

Despite Mike Williams leaving Sunday's game early with a back injury, Guyton was a complete afterthought throughout the contest. Instead, second-year pro Tyron Johnson immediately filled the void to the tune of six receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown, and he came up with the critical catch in the waning seconds to set up a game-winning 43-yard field goal. Both Williams and Keenan Allen (hamstring) were estimated as DNPs for Monday's practice, although it remains to be seen if either injury is serious enough to keep them off the field Thursday against the Raiders. It's hard to envision the speedy wide receiver will really be used prominently in the offense unless both of the aforementioned star wideouts are unable to play.

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Hodge is "progressing" through his hamstring injury, and he's optimistic the wide receiver will be available Sunday against the Giants, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Hodge missed the last two games due to the health concern, which has resulted in four straight DNPs on Browns injury reports. They will issue their first Week 15 report Wednesday, which may give an indication that Hodge is trending toward a return.

Duvernay was not targeted on nine offensive snaps Monday against the Browns.

The rookie was hardly involved Monday after seeing his snap shares tick up dramatically in recent weeks. Duvernay had played at least 41 snaps in each of his last two games before Monday's outing. The dropoff coincides with Willie Snead's return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Duvernay could be looking at a minimal role in the offense down the stretch now that Snead is healthy.
