Brown (groin/knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

The Commanders opened Brown's 21-day window to practice, though he is still on injured reserve. It's unclear at this point if he has a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If so, he could be the team's No. 2 or 3 wide receiver, depending on the health of Terry McLaurin (quad). Brown hasn't played since Week 2.

Harrison (appendix) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Harrison underwent an appendectomy after Week 10 action and subsequently was sidelined Weeks 11 and 12. Coach Jonathan Gannon didn't provide a timetable for Harrison's next game action as of Monday, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com, but the second-year pro at least is putting himself in a position to play Sunday at Tampa Bay following Wednesday's development. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Arizona is giving Harrison a chance to return in Week 13.

Rodriguez missed Wednesday's practice with an illness.

Rodriguez likely will have time to recover before Sunday's game against Denver. Workload uncertainty is the greater concern for fantasy, with Jeremy McNichols presumably still handling passing downs and Jacory Croskey-Merritt a threat for carries. Rodriguez replaced Croskey-Merritt as the lead runner in Washington's past two games, but the latter still has had a significant role off the bench.

Daniels (elbow) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Daniels is considered unlikely to play this Sunday against Denver, with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn noting Thursday that the team "would not put [Daniels] out there" if he were in any way limited, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. Quinn also told reporters that Daniels is starting to ramp up his workload and throw passes to receivers to build chemistry. Marcus Mariota figures to make at least one more start, but Daniels should be deemed ready at some point in December.

Godwin (fibula) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

In his return to action this past Sunday at the Rams, Godwin took on a smaller workload than normal, logging a 34 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for nine yards. His fibula injury continues to bother him, as evidenced by that and Wednesday's capped session, with Friday's injury report set to reveal if he has a designation for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.

The Rams designated Atwell (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

Atwell now kicks off his 21-day practice window, though head coach Sean McVay has already stated that the 2021 second-round pick is expected to retake the field in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Panthers. In order for Atwell to play Week 13, however, Los Angeles will first have to add him to the 53-man roster. Once back in action, Atwell will resume contributing as a complementary deep threat behind starting wideouts Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Jordan Whittington.

McLaurin (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Coming out of a Week 12 bye, McLaurin took part in an unofficial walk-through Monday and is now officially practicing with his teammates for the first time since Week 8. The Commanders likely will want to see McLaurin upgrade to full practice participation before he's cleared to play, as there isn't much reason to rush things at this point in the season. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) may also return soon, though presumably not for this Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Waller (pectoral) has had his 21-day practice window opened and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waller is practicing for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury Week 7 versus the Browns and being placed on IR. While it's possible the veteran tight end could gain clearance to retake the field as early as Sunday's contest against the Saints, he may first need to prove an ability to handle full practice reps. Once back in action, Waller will join Jaylen Waddle (foot), Malik Washington and RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game. In the event that Waller misses any more time, Greg Dulcich will continue to operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end.

Irving (shoulder/foot) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

After being listed as limited on the Buccaneers' five previous injury reports, Irving finally was able to log an uncapped session to begin Week 13 prep, seemingly putting him on a path for his first game action since Week 4. He missed the last eight seven games due to a subluxation in his shoulder and a sprained left foot, so he may not take on his normal role as Tampa Bay's lead runner Sunday against the Cardinals. In such a scenario, fellow RBs Sean Tucker and Rachaad White would be available for any snaps and touches that don't go to Irving.

Waddle (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle previously managed a shoulder injury in September and a hamstring issue in October, but Wednesday's practice report is the first time this season he's been listed with a foot issue. So far, those injuries haven't prevented the 27-year-old wideout from suiting up for all 11 of Miami's regular-season games, in which span he's racked up a 49-722-5 receiving line on 73 targets. As long as Waddle is able to maintain at least limited activity during the Dolphins' remaining two practices of Week 13, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Saints.
