Hobbs (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Hobbs opened last week's short practice week as a limited participant but was unable to play in last Thursday's win over the Lions. The fifth-year cornerback will look to progress further and make his first appearance since Week 9 in this Sunday's matchup versus the Bears. It's unclear what kind of role Hobbs will have upon his return to the lineup, but he should settle in with at least 50 percent of the defensive snaps once he's fully healthy.

Sewell (elbow) was estimated to have practiced in full at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Sewell has missed the Bears' last two games with an elbow injury. His return to full practice suggests he'll be ready to suit up in Week 14 against the Packers, and he should occupy a key role with Tremaine Edmunds (groin) sidelined.

Bullard (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Bullard has dealt with this injury for the last two weeks but still managed to handle his typical role in each of those games. With limited participation in tow, he has a good chance to play Sunday versus the Bears. The 2024 second-round pick has recorded 59 tackles (37 solo) and two pass breakups through 12 games.

Morrison (hamstring) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Morrison first hurt his hamstring back on Sept. 28 during a matchup against the Eagles. He missed the next two games, then played in four straight, but has missed Tampa Bay's past two contests. With a full practice under his belt to begin Week 14 prep, Morrison seems likely to return to action Sunday versus New Orleans as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks before then.

Edwards (hand) was estimated to be limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Edward has missed the Bears' last four games while recovering from surgery on his hand, and his potential Week 14 return would come just in time for a pivotal divisional showdown with the Packers.

Cooper (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Cooper dealt with a foot injury for most of November but didn't miss a game, and now he's battling a shoulder injury to start December. It's encouraging that he's still practicing in some fashion, especially with Quay Walker's (neck) status in limbo. Ty'Ron Hopper likely would see an increase in playing time if Cooper can't play Sunday versus the Bears. Cooper has posted 86 tackles (45 solo), three pass breakups and two forced fumbles through 12 games.

Atwell (hamstring) practiced in full Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Atwell now has been listed as full on four consecutive injury reports, but coach Sean McVay wouldn't commit Wednesday to the Rams activating the fifth-year pro from injured reserve, citing a numbers game, per Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register. Fortunately for the Rams, they have exactly two more weeks to make such a decision.

Reid (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Coach Kellen Moore added that Reid will not be placed on injured reserve with his knee injury that he suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Reid could be looking at missing games, but it sounds like he has a good chance to play again this season.

Walker (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Walker has missed the last two games with this neck injury despite practicing in a limited fashion during all three practices last week. Now, he'll look to upgrade to full participation by the end of the week, or else he'll likely be listed as questionable heading into the weekend again. When he's healthy, he's a strong fantasy option with 8.4 tackles per game through 10 contests this year.

Skowronek (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Skowronek missed some practice time last week with the same issue but ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Sunday's loss to the Bills, playing four offensive snaps. Skowronek has a 3-56-1 receiving line on five targets across 12 games this season.
