Claudin Cherelus LB | CAR
Panthers' Claudin Cherelus: Misses practice Wednesday
Cherelus (concussion) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Cherelus sustained a concussion in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the 49ers, so his inability to practice Wednesday was expected. The linebacker will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Week 13, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's game against the Rams.

Xavier Smith WR | LAR
Rams' Xavier Smith: Returns to full participation
Smith (concussion) logged a full practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Smith missed the Rams' Week 12 win over the Buccaneers after logging a pair of limited practices. His return to a full session Wednesday is positive, but it's unclear if he has cleared the league's concussion protocol -- a necessary step before he can return in Week 13 against the Panthers.
-
Jaycee Horn CB | CAR
Panthers' Jaycee Horn: Absent from practice
Horn (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
Horn suffered a concussion in the team's 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football, so his absence Wednesday doesn't come as a surprise. The cornerback is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 13, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Jaylon Johnson CB | CHI
Bears' Jaylon Johnson: Racking up full practices
Johnson (groin) logged a full practice Wednesday.
Johnson has only played one game this season and has been recovering from groin surgery since late September. He has logged four consecutive full practices dating back to last week, so he could return to the field Friday against Philadelphia.
-
Trevin Wallace LB | CAR
Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Full practice Wednesday
Wallace (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Wallace appears to be on track to return to action in Week 13 after missing the team's Week 12 loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football due to a shoulder injury. The linebacker will have two more chances to build off of Wednesday's practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
-
Kyler Gordon CB | CHI
Bears' Kyler Gordon: Another full practice
Gordon (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Gordon has only been able to suit up for two games this season while dealing with a few lower-body injuries. He's logged three full practices since being designated to return dating back to last week, suggesting his return Friday against the Eagles is a realistic possibility.
-
Christian Rozeboom LB | TB
Panthers' Christian Rozeboom: Misses practice Wednesday
Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.
Rozeboom was forced to miss the team's Week 12 loss to the 49ers due to a hip injury, and he's yet to return to practice since suffering the injury in Week 11. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
-
T.J. Edwards LB | CHI
Bears' T.J. Edwards: Still no practice
Edwards (hand) did not practice Wednesday.
Edwards is still recovering from a broken hand and has missed the last two games with the injury. He has yet to practice this week, suggesting his status is in jeopardy for Friday's game against the Eagles.
-
Ernest Jones LB | SEA
Seahawks' Ernest Jones: Past knee injury
Jones (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Jones has missed two of the Seahawks' last three games due to a knee injury, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday puts him on track to play against the Vikings on Sunday. The 2021 third-rounder has accumulated 71 tackles (36 solo) and five pass defenses (three interceptions) across nine regular-season games.
-
Derion Kendrick CB | DAL
Rams' Derion Kendrick: Claimed by LAR
Kendrick was claimed off waivers by the Rams on Wednesday.
Kendrick was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, and he has quickly found a new home in Los Angeles. The cornerback has compiled seven total tackles (four solo) and five passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 10 contests with Seattle this year. He'll provide the Rams with an additional depth option behind Emmanuel Forbes, Cobie Durant and Josh Wallace in the secondary.
