Tucker (hip) does not have an injury designation ahead of Friday's Week 13 game against Kansas City.

Tucker dealt with a hip issue throughout the week, but the injury won't prevent him from suiting up Friday. The second-year wideout has been a big part of Las Vegas' passing game this season, logging at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each of the Raiders' past nine contests. Tucker and the team's No. 1 receiver, Jakobi Meyers, could be busy Friday, especially if Las Vegas falls behind against the 10-1 Chiefs.

Marshall was signed to the active roster by the Raiders on Thursday.

The wide receiver signed to the team's practice squad Oct. 22 and was elevated for Las Vegas' Week 11 loss to Miami, playing on seven offensive snaps and seeing no targets. Marshall, a 2021 second-round pick of the Panthers, caught 64 passes for 767 yards and a touchdown in three seasons with Carolina.

Downs (shoulder) didn't participate in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

On Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen told Boyd that it will be "tough" for Downs to play Sunday against the Patriots, and the wideout's absence from practice Thursday supports that notion. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Downs heads into the weekend with any chance to be available versus New England, a context that also applies to fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (foot) and Ashton Dulin (ankle), who both were sidelined Thursday.

St. Brown (knee) is listed as active Thursday against the Bears.

Working on a short week, the Lions held three straight walkthroughs ahead of Thursday's game, and a knee injury contained St. Brown to no activity Monday, limited participation Tuesday and a full session Wednesday. On Tuesday, the wideout relayed to Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com that he planned to be available for Week 13 action, which now has been confirmed. St. Brown thus will remain the featured option in Detroit's passing game versus a Chicago defense that has allowed the fourth-most YPT (8.99) to opposing wide receivers this season.

Pierce (foot) didn't participate in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Pierce was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, so his absence from Thursday's session puts the focus on what he's able to do Friday in terms of his chances of playing Sunday against the Patriots. With Josh Downs (shoulder) also having logged consecutive DNPs, Michael Pittman and Adonai Mitchell currently are the Colts' top healthy wideout options.

Dulin (ankle) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Wednesday's session was just a walkthrough session but Thursday's was a regular practice. Dulin exited Sunday's loss to the Lions with the injury. Now, he'll likely need to get in some sort of work Friday to have a chance to play this Sunday against the Patriots.

Moore played 58 of Carolina's 62 offensive snaps and finished with six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Kansas City.

Though the Panthers returned Adam Thielen (hamstring) from injured reserve for the Week 12 contest, the absence of Jalen Coker (quadricep) opened up plenty of snaps for Moore. The 29-year-old journeyman wideout took advantage of the opportunity, pacing all Carolina pass catchers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also hauling in Bryce Young's lone touchdown pass in the narrow loss. Coker was a non-participant in the Panthers' first Week 13 practice Wednesday and could be trending toward another absence this Sunday against the Buccaneers, putting Moore on track to play elevated snaps once again.

Thrash went without a target while playing 12 of the Browns' 58 snaps on offense in last Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers.

Though heavy snow suppressed the passing production of both teams, Thrash ended up serving as the Browns' No. 3 wideout for a good portion of the contest after Cedric Tillman (concussion) was forced out of the game late in the third quarter. After recording his first NFL reception a week earlier in a loss to New Orleans, Thrash was blanked in Week 12, but more favorable weather plus a potential Tillman absence this coming Monday in Denver could put the rookie in position for more involvement in the passing attack. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tillman is still in the concussion protocol, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

Philips was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Philips joined the Eagles' practice squad ahead of the season and will now return to the team's practice unit again. The 25-year-old will provide Philadelphia with an additional depth option at wide receiver moving forward.

Shenault (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shenault was inactive for the Seahawks' 16-6 win over the Cardinals this past Sunday due to a back injury he picked up in Week 11 against the 49ers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that Shenault should be good to go against the Jets on Sunday. The 2020 second-round pick has logged 449 kick return yards and one touchdown while adding five catches for 36 yards across 10 regular-season games.
