Agholor wasn't present at Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

After sitting out Week 12 due to a knee injury, Agholor followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen last week before suiting up and playing a typical 89-percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday in Miami. The usage translated to three catches (on six targets) for 41 yards, with one of those grabs a successful two-point conversion. It appears the Eagles are managing Agholor's practice reps, but the reason for his absence won't be known until the release of Thursday's injury report.

Thielen (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Given that Thielen wasn't even on the field for Wednesday's light walk-through session, it comes as little surprise that he was confined to working out on a side field during a more intense practice Thursday. The Vikings haven't officially ruled Thielen out for Sunday's game against the Lions, but his inability to practice on even a limited basis at this stage of the week suggests he's likely in line to miss a fourth consecutive contest.

Miller (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Miller suffered the hamstring injury Week 12 in Atlanta and was unable to play against Jacksonville last Sunday. The 22-year-old hasn't seen the field since working as a limited practice participant last Wednesday.

Pettis (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Although Pettis was spotted working out on a side field, his participation wasn't enough to be marked as limited. The second-year wideout isn't expected to suit up Sunday against the Saints, so Marquise Goodwin and Richie James could see slight upticks in usage.

Williams was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Williams caught five of seven targets for a career-high 117 yards during the Week 13 loss to the Broncos, but he failed to reach the end zone for the 11th time in as many outings this season. Positive regression on that front should come for Williams eventually, but he'll have to shake off the knee injury first to make that a reality. It's at least encouraging that the 25-year-old receiver wasn't held out of practice entirely, so his chances of playing Sunday in Jacksonville appear promising for now.

The Dolphins claimed Hollins off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Hollins failed to live up to expectations over parts of three seasons in Philadelphia, but a Miami squad short on quality receiving depth will give him a look to finish out 2019. Don't expect Hollins to handle significant snaps in Sunday's game against the Jets, though he could see his role expand over the final three contests of 2019 once he has more time to get familiar with the Miami playbook.

Humphries didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Though Humphries has been targeted just six times in his last three games, he has scored a pair of touchdowns in that span. Added clarity with regard to his Week 14 status should arrive Thursday, at which point a limited or full session would have him trending toward active status Sunday against the Raiders.

Gage was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Gage is seemingly nicked up coming out of the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Saints, during which he tallied five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. With Julio Jones (shoulder), Calvin Ridley (toe), Austin Hooper (knee), Luke Stocker (back) and Jaeden Graham (thigh) all limited as well to begin the week, Gage could once again be facing a notable opportunity for targets if he's able to get fully healthy in time for Sunday's tilt with Carolina.

Kirkwood (hamstring) will not return this season, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kirwood's season is over after New Orleans elected not to activate him. Kirkwood returned to practice in mid-November but failed to show enough to convince the Saints to add him back to the active roster. He suffered a serious hamstring injury back in Week 1.

Ridley was limited by a toe injury during Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley is matching Julio Jones' (shoulder) activity level, but at least both wide receivers are participating Wednesday in some capacity, which helps their cases for suiting up on game day. Working as the top wideout in Jones' absence last Thursday against the Saints, Ridley hauled in eight of 10 targets for 91 yards.
