  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Adams (hamstring) to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Adams hasn't practiced since aggravating an existing hamstring injury Week 15 against the Lions, missing two games so far. He appears destined to make it three straight absences this weekend based on McVay's comments. If that comes to pass, Puka Nacua, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith (chest, LP on Wednesday), Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will comprise the Rams' receiving corps.

  • Derius Davis WR | LAC

    Chargers' Derius Davis: Posts limited practice Wednesday

    Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Davis has missed Los Angeles' past three games due to an ankle injury. It's a step in the right direction that he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday after not practicing at all last week. Davis thus seems to have a chance to return to action Sunday versus Denver for a game that head coach Jim Harbaugh has said he'll rest at least some of his starters. If Davis can play, he could see a slightly elevated role on offense and would also probably reclaim his role as the Chargers' top return man.

  • Jack Bech WR | LV

    Raiders' Jack Bech: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Bech (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Gutierrez of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Bech was a late addition to the Raiders' injury report during Week 17 prep, which resulted in him being sidelined for this past Sunday's loss against the Giants. He was able to practice without restriction Wednesday, which puts the rookie second-rounder on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chiefs. Bech has accumulated 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 224 yards through the first 15 regular-season games of his NFL career.

  • Pat Bryant WR | DEN

    Broncos' Pat Bryant: Returns to limited practice

    Bryant (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Bryant didn't practice ahead of the Broncos' Dec. 25 win over the Chiefs, so the wideout's limited participation Wednesday is a step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Bryant now has two more chances to upgrade to full participation before Denver's Week 18 injury designations are posted Friday. In his absence versus Kansas City, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked behind top WR Courtland Sutton, who led the team with 10 targets in Week 17.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Situation under league review

    An alleged Dec. 2 incident that has led to Diggs facing charges is under review of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Reiss notes that Diggs is facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault stemming from the alleged incident. According to a statement from the league, Diggs is eligible to play at this time, but he could be considered for placement on the Commissioner Exempt List "following formal charges in the form of an indictment by a grand jury, the filing of charges by a prosecutor, or an arraignment in a criminal court." The Patriots face the Dolphins in their regular-season finale Sunday.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Logs full practice Wednesday

    Zaccheaus (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday

    The Bears listed Zaccheaus and fellow WR DJ Moore as questionable due to respective illnesses ahead of this past Sunday's game at San Francisco, and while Moore was able to suit up, Zaccheaus was not. Now with an uncapped session under his belt, though, Zaccheaus is among four healthy options at the position on the team's active roster along with Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay. As for the other two, Rome Odunze (foot) continued to sit out practice Wednesday, while Luther Burden (quadriceps) was a limited participant.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Dealing with illness

    Reed was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

    An illness has been sweeping the Packers' locker room the last two weeks, and Reed was among four players on the active roster to be impacted to kick off Week 18 prep. Since he returned to action from a lengthy IR stint Week 14, he's produced a modest 16-162-0 line on 17 targets over the last four games. In any case, Reed's status bears monitoring as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday in Minnesota, especially after coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play this weekend.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Burden (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

    Burden suffered what eventually was called a quad injury on the final play of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Coach Ben Johnson told Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com on Wednesday that the Bears are "hopeful" that Burden will be able to play Sunday versus the Lions. Ultimately, how Burden fares in practice Thursday and Friday will determine if he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 17 action. Meanwhile, fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) remained sidelined at practice, while Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) practiced in full, so the latter, DJ Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay are the healthy options at the position on the Bears' active roster.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Still not practicing

    Odunze (foot) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

    Odunze thus hasn't practiced since Dec. 12 due to a stress fracture in his foot and appears poised to end the regular season with five consecutive absences. The Bears can make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Lions as soon as they post Friday's injury report, and if he's ruled out, Chicago again may be short-handed in the receiving corps, as Luther Burden (quadriceps) was limited Wednesday after getting injured on the final play of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Meanwhile, WR Olamide Zaccheaus, who sat out Week 17 due to illness, was a full practice participant Wednesday, joining DJ Moore, Jahdae Walker and Devin Duvernay as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Listed as LP

    London (knee) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report.

    London has just four catches for 31 yards since returning from a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain. He'll likely play again Week 18 against the Saints, but he may not be at this best until next season.
