Jeudy (ankle/Achilles) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Jeudy was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday with the ankle injury, but the Achilles issue is a new concern and something that should be monitored as Sunday's game against the Saints approaches. The rookie wideout handled a lighter load than normal in last week's win over Miami, playing 41 of the Broncos' 65 offensive snaps and finishing with three receptions for 37 yards on eight targets.

Harris (stinger) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice.

The 23-year-old suffered a stinger during Sunday's win over the Falcons and is beginning the practice week as DNP. Harris may need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend.

Shenault (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

For the first time in nearly two weeks, Shenault practiced with the team, albeit with limitations. The return to the field should afford the rookie a decent chance to play Sunday against the Browns, who will be without No. 1 cornerback Denzel Ward (calf). If Shenault plays, however, he'll need to adjust to the third quarterback of his short career, as Mike Glennon has been named the Jaguars' Week 12 starter, replacing the struggling Jake Luton.

Humphries (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

The Titans haven't yet announced that Humphries has fully cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol, but his full participation in practice certainly represents significant progress. Humphries appears to have a solid chance to return from his three-game absence Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Titans placed Cobb (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Cobb's move to IR officially rules him out for at least three games. Along with Cobb, the Texans will also be without Kenny Stills (quadriceps) for Thursday's game against the Lions, so look for Keke Coutee to see an uptick in playing time as the Texans' No. 3 receiver behind Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks.

Conley didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury.

Conley may have picked up this injury in last week's loss to the Steelers, as he logged a 64 percent snap share, his lowest since Week 7. DJ Chark (ribs) also didn't practice Wednesday, while Laviska Shenault (hamstring) returned to the field for the first time in two weeks. With uncertainty across the board at receiver, Conley could be in store for added volume this Sunday against the Browns if he gains clearance for the contest and neither Chark nor Shenault are active.

Chark didn't participate in Wednesday's practice due to injured ribs.

Chark handled his typical workload in last week's loss to the Steelers, but he may have been playing hurt during the contest. He'll look to upgrade his participation by Friday to have a shot to play Sunday against the Browns, who will be without No. 1 cornerback Denzel Ward (calf). If Chark is able to play, he'll catch passes from his third quarterback of the year, as Mike Glennon has been named the Week 12 starter.

St. Brown (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

St. Brown has been on the injury report every week since being activated from IR in Week 6. There's no indication that his status for this Sunday's game against the Bears is in jeopardy. His role took a hit when Allen Lazard returned to the lineup last week, as St. Brown played just 15 snaps on offense and drew one target.

Smith-Schuster (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Smith-Schuster increased his practice activity in each of the past three days, moving from no participation Monday to limited work Tuesday before concluding Week 12 as a full participant. The wideout likely would have been on track to play Thanksgiving Day against the Ravens, but he'll benefit from more time to recover from the foot injury after the NFL moved the game to Sunday due to a surge of positive COVID-19 tests within the Baltimore camp.

Lazard (core) was limited in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

In his first game action since Week 3 this past Sunday at Indianapolis, Lazard played 60 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to two receptions (on four targets) for 18 yards. The workload and output were a far cry from the first three contests of the season, when he played 87 percent of the offensive snaps and compiled a 13-254-2 line on 17 targets. Clearly, Lazard isn't 100 percent, but he still has two more opportunities to elevate to full activity by the end of the week.
