Lockett was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As the Seahawks kicked off Week 13 prep, both Lockett and DK Metcalf (shoulder) sat out practice due to new health concerns. As such, the team's upcoming practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for determining who among the two may be in danger of sitting out Sunday's contest at the Jets. Since he last endured practice limitations ahead of Week 9 action, Lockett has accrued a 7-102-1 receiving line on 10 targets over the last three games.

Metcalf didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As the Seahawks opened Week 13 preparations, both Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (knee) are sitting out due to new health concerns. As a result, the team's ensuing practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for determining who among the pair may be in danger of missing Sunday's game at the Jets. Since returning from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has gathered in 11 of 14 targets for 129 yards and no touchdowns over the last two contests.

Cowing (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cowing suffered a concussion during the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, and he was unable to pass the league's five-step protocols in time for Week 12 against the Packers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he's progressing through the protocols, though he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Bills on Sunday.

Corley (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After fumbling what would have been his first career touchdown out of the back of the end zone in Week 9 against the Texans, Corley has seen his offensive involvement tick upward over the last two contests, securing his second and third career catches for a total of 12 yards on 28 offensive snaps as the fourth wideout behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson. Irvin Charles would be next up for snaps if Corley can't play against Seattle.

Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Jones missed the Bengals' last three games due to a groin injury. The Week 12 bye appears to have helped his recovery process as he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday. Jones will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Cooks (knee), who was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest versus the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Cooks last played Week 4 at the Giants, as he required an injured reserve stint in the meantime due to an infection stemming from a knee procedure. He was listed as a limited participant at walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday, but his ability to handle a full practice Wednesday indicates he should be able to handle a normal workload Week 13. Before he got injured, Cooks earned at least a 75 percent snap share in each of the first four games of the season, but he mustered just a 9-91-1 receiving line on 19 targets while working with Dak Prescott. With Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Cooks will be on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush (knee).

The Chiefs hope Brown (shoulder) can return to practice in mid-December, Nate Taylor of the Athletic reports.

Brown had shoulder surgery in mid-September, with reports at the time suggesting he was unlikely to play in the regular season but might return for the playoffs. The wideout now seems he has a chance to play before the end of the regular season, although perhaps only in Weeks 17 and 18.

Washington (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Washington is now dealing with a concussion following the Falcons' Week 12 bye, and Wednesday's limited session suggests he still has yet to clear the NFL's five-step protocol. The rookie wideout from Illinois has played almost exclusively on special teams this season, but he could be in for a larger offensive role in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers if he's able to pass through protocol, as KhaDarel Hodge (concussion) and Darnell Mooney (Achilles) are both dealing with injuries.

Hodge (neck) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Hodge appears to be dealing with a neck injury following Atlanta's Week 12 bye that held him out of Wednesday's practice. The Prairie View A&M product will likely miss the Falcons' Week 13 matchup against the Chargers if he can't upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday.

Lamb (back/foot) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

After the Cowboys estimated Lamb as a limited participant on their first two Week 13 practice reports, he got back to a full listing Wednesday and thus will be available for the team's Week 13 contest. He turned in a 7-98-1 receiving line on eight targets back in Week 4 in a road matchup with the Giants, but Lamb will be working with Cooper Rush (knee) instead of Dak Prescott (hamstring) this time around. In Rush's three starts to date, Lamb has earned double-digit looks on each occasion, but he's managed a 24-181-0 receiving line on 34 targets during that stretch.
