Anderson (illness) will practice on a limited basis Friday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Anderson sat out Thursday's session due to his illness, but it appears that will be the extent of his absence. It remains to be seen if Anderson will show up on the Jets' final injury report of the week, but with him back at practice Friday, he's presumably on track to take the field Sunday against the Steelers.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday morning that Agholor (knee) could be shut down for the season, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Agholor remains unable to practice, and while Pederson is "still hopeful" he will play again this season, the soreness in his knee is apparently not getting any better, and could in fact be getting worse. Agholor has not been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys as of yet, but Pederson's comments don't provide much hope that he will take the field.

Kirk (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

Kirk's ankle issue has followed him throughout the season, limiting him some last week before keeping him off the practice field entirely Wednesday. Back in the fold Thursday, he's on the right path to rid himself of the injury by the end of the week. Even if he doesn't, though, he's managed to log at least 86 percent of the offensive snaps in seven consecutive games, racking up a 37-407-3 line on 56 targets during that stretch.

Renfrow (rib) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Renfrow's reps were capped for the second straight day, but he told Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area after the session that he expects to put an end to a three-game absence Sunday versus the Chargers. If Renfrow's prediction comes to pass and he suits up this weekend, he'll likely be forced to play through some pain while he deals with the residual effects of a fractured rib. The Raiders will see what Renfrow is able to do at Friday's practice before assessing his odds of playing in Los Angeles.

Hardman (glute) was limited at practice Thursday.

Hardman was added to the Chiefs' Week 16 injury report Thursday, so his status is worth monitoring in advance of Sunday night's game against the Bears. Though Hardman has logged six TDs in 14 games to date, he remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option, given his sporadic volume in Kansas City's passing attack. The 2019 second-rounder parlayed his 14 snaps in Week 15's win over the Broncos into one catch (on two targets) for 10 yards.

Parker (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Parker was limited due to a hip injury to begin the week, but he's already managed to shed all restrictions. Barring any setbacks, the emerging wideout can be considered on track for his usual No. 1 role in Miami's receiving corps against the Bengals on Sunday.

Williams (knee) practiced fully Thursday.

Williams was limited at practice Wednesday, but his return to full participation Thursday puts the Chargers' starting wideout in line to play Sunday against the Raiders, who have lost four straight contests heading into Week 16. After going 11 games without a TD to start the season, Williams -- who made 11 trips to the end zone in 2018 -- has hit paydirt in back-to-back outings. Now that he's back in scoring mode, the 2017 first-rounder's fantasy outlook is on the upswing in advance of his team's final two regular-season games.

Raymond (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

The knee injury that caused Raymond's inclusion on Wednesday's injury report appears to have been minor. The Holy Cross product is on track to play Sunday.

Beckham (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The Browns have been judicious with Beckham's practice usage in recent weeks while he reportedly contends with a sports hernia, but the wideout told Cabot he has no intentions of sitting out either of Cleveland's final two contests. Beckham will likely have his reps capped in the Browns' final practice session Friday, but if the pattern from previous weeks holds, he'll head into Sunday's game against the Ravens without a designation.

Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Davis' practice activity represents no change from Wednesday, but the fact that he was on the field for back-to-back days should give him a good chance at playing Sunday against the Saints. He'll look to advance to full participation Friday in the Titans' final session of the week, which would likely allow him to head into the matchup with New Orleans minus an injury designation.
