Adams brought in 10 of 12 targets for 166 yards in the Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

Adams unsurprisingly paced the Green Bay receiving corps in receptions, targets and receiving yardage, and he turned in a game-long 57-yard catch early in the fourth quarter to set up a Mason Crosby field goal as well. The 25-year-old saw double-digit looks for the first time since Week 7, with Randall Cobb's absence due to a hamstring injury certainly playing a part in Adams' increased involvement. Adams did see a modest two-touchdown streak end, but he'll look to get back in the end zone in Week 12 versus a Vikings squad that he generated an 8-64-1 line against in Week 2.

Williams (groin) was added to the Chargers' Week 11 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday.

Fellow wideout Keenan Allen (finger/hip) was also limited Thursday after practicing fully Wednesday, so the Chargers' wideout corps suddenly has a couple of key players to watch in advance of Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff against the Broncos. Through nine games, Williams -- who was not targeted in Week 10 -- is averaging 37.6 receiving yards, but he has managed to make his mark with five TDs over that span.

Allen (hip/finger) was added to the Chargers' Week 11 injury report after logging a limited practice Thursday.

So far there's nothing to suggest that Allen's availability for Sunday's 4:05 ET kickoff against the Broncos is in danger, but given that he's a mid-week addition to the injury report, the wideout's situation should be monitored. We'll revisit Allen's status Friday to see if he draws an official injury designation or ends up being removed from the Chargers' final injury report of the week altogether.

Thielen (lower back, calf) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.

During the part of Thursday's session open to the media, Thielen worked with the wide receiver group, but that was the extent of his activity, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Thielen has one more day to alleviate concerns about his health, with Friday's injury report providing the last word on his potential to play Sunday night in Chicago.

Godwin (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Godwin has now missed back-to-back sessions with the ankle issue, which he likely sustained during Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Redskins. The second-year wideout posted season highs with seven receptions for 103 yards in that contest, but the injury suddenly jeopardizes his chances of building on that performance this weekend against the Giants. The Buccaneers will see what Godwin can (or can't) do at Friday's practice before providing further clarity on his Week 11 status.

Crowder (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

There was some hope Crowder would progress to limited participation after he was spotted working out on the side, per John Keim of ESPN.com. However, that didn't come to pass. According to Copeland, a recent MRI revealed lingering issues within the ankle in question, and coach Jay Gruden later told Les Carpenter of The Washington Post on Wednesday that Crowder "needs a little more time." Crowder has just one practice remaining to change the tune about his ability to return Sunday against the Texans, but a sixth consecutive absence becomes likelier without some on-field activity.

Smith (knee) was listed as a non-participant Thursday on the Panthers' estimated practice report, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Inclement weather prevented the Panthers from holding a true practice session as planned, as the team instead opted for a brief walk-through session. Smith's inability to complete that activity doesn't offer much encouragement about the health of his right knee, which seems likely to keep him sidelined again Sunday against the Lions. A final word on Smith's status for the weekend will come after the Panthers release their injury report following Friday's session.

Jones (knee) wasn't present for the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

The bone bruise Jones suffered in Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Bears remains a concern heading into a Week 11 matchup with the Panthers, as the injury has sidelined him for back-to-back practices. The Lions will see if Jones is able to take the field in some capacity during their final session of the week Friday, but the wideout appears destined to carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest. The release of the Lions' final injury report will clarify whether Jones is listed as questionable, doubtful or out for the game. Kenny Golladay would likely take on an even heavier target share than normal if Jones is forced to miss his first game of the season.

Coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Montgomery's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals will depend on how he looks in practice this week, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

After being acquired from the Packers on Oct. 30, Montgomery was inactive for the Ravens' Week 9 game against the Steelers while he continued to familiarize himself with the new playbook. The running back has since had a bye week to get further comfortable with his new surroundings, but he'll still need to make an impression in practices in order to earn an active status this weekend, which would likely come at the expense of Gus Edwards. If Montgomery does in fact make his team debut Sunday, he'll likely see most of his work on passing downs, which would impact Javorius Allen's fantasy outlook more so than Alex Collins'.

Hopkins (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Hopkins played all but one of the Texans' 62 offensive snaps in the team's last game in Week 9 against the Broncos, hauling in 10 of his 12 targets for 105 yards and a touchdown. With no reported setbacks in that contest, Hopkins should be fine for Sunday's game against Washington, especially after he had a Week 10 bye to heal up from the foot issue.
