Jeudy was listed a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to knee and shin injuries, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

The knee injury is something that Jeudy had been managing in previous weeks, but the shin issue is a new concern heading into Week 17 action. The wideout will have two chances to upgrade to full participation in practice, and in turn, avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Tillman (concussion) was listed as limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Tillman is continuing to work his way through the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout has missed four straight straight games, so his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins remains uncertain at this point.

Tolbert (finger) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Tolbert hurt his finger late in the first half of this past Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers and was unable to return. The fact he would have logged some activity if the Cowboys had held practice Wednesday generally is a good sign, but he may need to maintain that activity level to give himself a chance to avoid a designation heading into Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Brown (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

Brown was knocked out late in this past Sunday's win against the Eagles due to the hamstring issue, but not before racking up four catches (on five targets) for 56 yards. He'll have a pair of chances to get back on the field this week, with Friday's injury report potentially providing some clarity on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Valdes-Scantling (chest) was listed as limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Valdes-Scantling is being listed on an injury report as anything other than a non-participant for the first time since Week 15 prep, signaling he's made some progress through the chest injury and illness that combined to sideline him in Monday's loss to the Packers. He'll have two more chances this week to join fellow wideout Chris Olave (concussion) as a full participant in practice, or otherwise risk heading into a second game in a row with a designation.

Hill (wrist/rest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill also logged a limited listing this past Friday before approaching Sunday's win over the 49ers with a questionable designation. Unlike fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee), Hill was active for the contest and finished with three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Hill isn't reported to be dealing with any setbacks with his wrist coming out of the Week 16 contest, so his listed limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related.

Waddle (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle, who was inactive for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, thus has two more chances to practice in some fashion ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If the wideout remains out in Week 17, Malik Washington would once again be in line to see added opportunities in Miami's passing offense.

Watson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Watson hurt his left knee Monday, when a Saints defender landed on his leg out of bounds after a 14-yard carry. Upon further evaluation Tuesday, the third-year pro is dealing with "just a bruise," as coach Matt LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Watson's on-field activity in practices the next two days may be key in the Packers' decision-making process for his status in Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Brown recorded four receptions for 46 yards on seven targets in Wednesday's 29-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Brown finished third in both targets and receptions for Kansas City, but he failed to bring in any of Patrick Mahomes' trio of touchdown passes in the win. The 27-year-old Brown has produced nine receptions for 91 yards in two games with the Chiefs this season. Though the Chiefs have clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and have little at stake in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Broncos, Brown could still play in that contest to get some more reps under his belt in advance of the postseason after missing the first 14 games of the campaign due to a dislocated shoulder.

Olave (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.

After the Saints designated Olave for return from injured reserve last week, he managed three limited sessions before the team ruled him out ahead of Monday's loss to Green Bay. He wouldn't have had any restrictions if New Orleans had practiced Wednesday, so he appears as if he's closing in his required meeting with an independent neurologist before he would be removed from the five-step concussion protocol. Olave will need to be activated from IR by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday in order to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Raiders.
