Jones (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Jones missed last Sunday's win over the Dolphins with the ankle injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Ravens. The returner's inability to practice to start the week is a poor sign for his chances to suit up for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Jones will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and dodge an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. If Jones misses consecutive games, Ke'Shawn Williams will likely continue to be the Bengals' starting kick and punt returner.

Hollins (abdomen) didn't practice Wednesday.

Hollins led the Patriots' WRs with a 66 percent snap share in the team's Week 16 win over the Ravens, a game in which he recorded seven catches on nine targets for 69 yards. With a DNP to kick off the current practice week, Hollins -- who has been targeted a total of 17 times over his last two outings -- now has two more opportunities to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

Remigio (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Remigio was held out of practice Tuesday and Wednesday due to a knee injury, and his official status for Christmas Day may not be known until the Chiefs announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. With Rashee Rice (concussion) and Tyquan Thornton (concussion) both on injured reserve, Remigio and rookie fourth-rounder Jalen Royals are slated for larger rotational roles on offense behind Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Douglas (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Douglas injured his hamstring during the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Ravens, and he finished that contest having played just 13 of 74 offensive snaps (17.6 percent) while logging one catch (on two targets) for six yards. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates that the injury isn't considered a long-term issue, and he'll likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's AFC East clash against the Jets if he is able to practice fully by Friday. Rookies Kyle Williams and Efton Chism would be slated for larger roles on offense if Douglas is unable to play Week 17.

Harrison (heel) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

In his return from a two-game absence due to a heel injury this past Sunday against the Falcons, Harrison played just 29 of 57 offensive snaps and gathered in one of three targets for 14 yards. The workload was a significant departure from most of his appearances this season, but it's not a total surprise considering Adam Schefter of ESPN reported late Saturday that Harrison was expected to be eased back in. Harrison's limitations to begin Week 17 prep indicate his health still is compromised, and how he fares in drills Thursday and Friday likely will play into the Cardinals' decision to tag him with a designation (or not) ahead of Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (knee/ankle) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers have a few question marks in their receiving corps as TE George Kittle won't practice to kick off Week 17 prep due to the sprained ankle he suffered Monday at Indianapolis. Pearsall himself sat out that contest due to a low-ankle sprain and also an aggravation of the sprained PCL that sidelined him Weeks 5-10. He'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before San Francisco may make a decision on his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears.

St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Minnesota.

In the midst of St. Brown logging a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen this week, coach Dan Campbell told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that St. Brown was dealing with "a little irritation" in his knee, but the Lions still were optimistic about the wide receiver's odds to play Week 17. St. Brown's status ultimately will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Austin (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Austin injured his hamstring during the Steelers' Week 16 win over the Lions and was not cleared to return. The fourth-year wideout has worked in more of a rotational role at wide receiver over the past three weeks, but his absence would be detrimental to a Steelers offense that is already without DK Metcalf (suspension) for the final two games of the regular season. Austin will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's AFC North tilt against the Browns.

Burden (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

This marks Burden's first official on-field work since he suffered an ankle injury Week 15 against the Browns. He may need to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco, but he appears to be a better bet to return to action Week 17 than fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot), who remained sidelined at practice Wednesday.

The Chiefs placed Thornton (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Thornton entered the league's concussion protocol following the Chiefs' Week 15 loss to the Chargers, which prevented him from playing against the Titans in Week 16. Since the Chiefs are eliminated from playoff contention, Thornton's placement on IR means he will not return in 2025 and not play in the Kansas City's last two regular-season games. The 2022 second-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Chiefs in February after being cut by the Patriots in November in 2024, and he finished his first year in Kansas City with a 19/438/3 receiving line (on 36 targets) while turning 18 kickoff returns into 475 yards (26.4 yards per return). With Thornton and Rashee Rice (concussion) both on IR, the Chiefs' wide receiver corps will be led by Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Hollywood Brown.
