  • Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Recovering from ACL tear

    The left knee injury that Berrios suffered in the Dolphins' Week 7 loss to the Colts was a torn ACL, Nick Pugliese of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Per Brandon Liguori of the Miami Herald, Berrios waited until Oct. 30 to undergo surgery, presumably so the inflammation in his knee could subside. He suffered the knee injury during a kick return in the Oct. 20 game and was placed on injured reserve a day later, ending his season with no receptions on four targets to go with 179 combined return yards over six appearances. Berrios will become a free agent this offseason and will likely be out through the entirety of the spring, but he could catch on with a team ahead of training camp if his rehab process has gone smoothly.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Remains limited Thursday

    Tillman (concussion) was limited at practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Tillman also was limited Wednesday, but he'll have one more chance to practice fully before Week 15 injury designations are assigned. He's missed the Browns' last two games, but his ability to practice, albeit in a limited fashion, suggests that he has a chance to gain clearance to suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Dealing with foot injury

    Mooney was limited at Thursday's practice due to a foot injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Mooney has been dealing with an Achilles injury since Week 11 prep, but a new health concern has been swapped in at the start of Week 15 prep. He's suited up for all three games in the meantime, hauling in 11 of 17 targets for 189 yards and no touchdowns in that span. Mooney's status at practice Friday and Saturday likely will be telling for his availability for Monday's game at Las Vegas.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Turns in full practice

    Downs (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Downs missed the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots in Week 13 due to a right shoulder injury, but he seems to have benefited from a well-timed bye in Week 14. Though he was eased back into practice Wednesday in a limited fashion, Downs' ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to play Sunday in Denver. Before missing the win over the Patriots, Downs saw his numbers take a bit of a hit in the previous two contests while Anthony Richardson took back the starting quarterback role from Joe Flacco. In those two games, Downs produced an 8-111-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Steelers' George Pickens: Still not practicing

    Pickens (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Tuesday that there's an "outside chance" Pickens can play Sunday against the Eagles. The wideout has one more chance to practice in advance of the contest, but it's plausible that Pickens could be ruled out as soon as Friday. If Pickens remains sidelined versus Philadelphia, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Mike Williams and Scotty Miller would be in line to lead Pittsburgh's Week 15 WR corps.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Remains limited in practice

    Nabers (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Nabers hasn't been a full participant in any of the Giants' last four practices, but he appears to be in a better spot in the health front this week. He's turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 15 prep, whereas he sat out last Friday's session entirely before being deemed questionable ahead of last Sunday's game against the Saints. Nabers ultimately suited up for a 14-11 loss to New Orleans and played 93 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to five receptions for 79 yards on 10 targets, and he apparently emerged from that contest no worse for the wear. Even if Nabers remains limited in the Giants' final practice of the week Friday and takes a designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, he should still be in good position to play.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Titans' Tyler Boyd: Back at practice Thursday

    Boyd (foot) is participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Boyd didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, but he's resumed handling at least limited activity Thursday. On 47 targets cross 13 appearances this season, Boyd has racked up 33 catches for 317 yards. He has yet to score his first touchdown in a Titans uniform. If he's able to get healthy in time for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Boyd will continue contributing in a depth role on offense, as well as in the return game.

  • Javon Baker WR | SF

    Patriots' Javon Baker: Absent from practice Thursday

    Baker (concussion) is not practicing Thursday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports.

    Baker remains in the five-step concussion protocol following New England's bye, and he has yet to progress to stage which would allow him to resume handling restricted practice reps. The rookie fourth-round pick, who has yet to record a reception across eight regular-season appearances, looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

  • Jalen Coker WR | CAR

    Panthers' Jalen Coker: Another full practice

    Coker (quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Coker kicked off Week 15 prep with a full session, as he did one week prior, but he was able to maintain that activity level this time around after being limited last Thursday and a non-participant one day later. He ultimately missed a third straight game this past Sunday at Philadelphia due to a quadriceps injury. On Wednesday, coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press that Coker has been able to attack his routes this week, something that was missing in advance of Week 14 action, and with back-to-back uncapped sessions now under his belt, he's set to suit up for the first time since Week 10.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Not spotted at Thursday's practice

    Dulin (ankle) is not participating in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Dulin hasn't played since Week 12 due to an ankle injury, and despite the Colts being fresh off a bye, it appears the depth wideout is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos. If Dulin is indeed unable to suit up versus Denver, his absence will most be felt by Indianapolis on special teams.
