Cobb (hamstring) appeared to take part in every drill during the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Cobb hasn't logged more than a limited practice session since Nov. 7, so his activity level will be noteworthy as he attempts to end a three-game absence. With Geronimo Allison (groin) on injured reserve and Marquez Valdes-Scantling's production tailing off over the past two contests, the Packers offense could use Cobb's veteran savvy and rapport with Aaron Rodgers.

Agnew (knee) will return to practice Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Agnew partially tore a ligament in his knee against Green Bay in October. The Lions have a 21-day window to activate the slot cornerback, but he isn't eligible to play until Week 15 against the Bills, since players placed on injured reserve must stay there for at least eight weeks. Regardless, Agnew's return to practice Wednesday is a good sign, and he could provide a boost on defense and special teams if he were to return for the final three games.

Ford was added to the active roster Wednesday.

Ford's promotion comes on the heels of the Dolphins placing Jakeem Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve. The second-year wideout should provide the position with some added depth and will likely serve as a special teams contributor as well.

The Dolphins placed Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Grant suffered an Achilles injury in the Nov. 11 loss to the Packers that ultimately required surgery, but the Dolphins surprisingly decided to keep him on the 53-man roster for more than two weeks before finally shifting him to IR. Miami will use the open spot on fellow wideout Isaiah Ford, a 2017 seventh-round pick of the club who should fortify the Dolphins' depth at the position with Grant and Albert Wilson (hip) done for the season and Danny Amendola (knee) and DeVante Parker (shoulder) both iffy for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Chark (quadriceps) won't participate in Wednesday's practice.

Chark was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday of last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills. The rookie wideout doesn't seem to have made any notable progress to begin Week 13 preparations, putting him at risk of missing a second straight contest this weekend against the Colts. Keelan Cole benefited the most from Chark's absence in Week 12, taking the field for 49 offensive snaps but failing to corral either of his two targets.

Moore caught his only target for a 1-yard gain during Sunday's 31-17 win over Oakland.

Moore has been targeted just once in three consecutive games and hasn't been sought out more than twice since Week 6. Don't expect too much of an uptick. In two games with Lamar Jackson at quarterback, the Ravens have run the ball on over 66 percent of their plays. That seems unlikely to change Sunday, even against a weak pass defense in Atlanta, which is surrendering 286 receiving yards per game.

Gallup caught two of six passes for 19 yards during Dallas' 31-23 Thanksgiving win over Washington.

After facing a family tragedy, Gallup wasn't focusing on football, but the rookie receiver was still featured in the game plan with six targets, tied for second on the team. Following the acquisition of Amari Cooper, targets haven't been Gallup's issue: He has at least five in three of the four games. Making much out of them has been more difficult: He has been held under 35 yards in three straight games and hasn't scored since Cooper joined the squad. Thursday brings a Saints defense ranked 31st in the league in opponent passing yards at 303 per game.

Byrd (arm) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Byrd suffered a broken arm in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and was already declared out for the season, so this was just a procedural move. D.J. Moore is listed as the next man up for punt returns on the Panthers' unofficial depth chart.

Reynolds was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

Reynolds has now been waived by the Seahawks twice this season. Assuming he clears waivers, he will likely revert back to the team's practice squad. The 30-year-old has been active for three games total this season. He is unlikely to provide any fantasy value going forward even if he again gets the call to join the 53-man roster.

McCaffrey (suspension) signed with the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday.

McCaffrey missed the entire preseason due to a foot injury and was waived by San Francisco in late August, only to receive a four-game suspension shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old has also spent time with the Jaguars, Raiders, Packers and Saints, but has played in only five games with one catch for four yards in his career.
