Raymond (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Raymond missed the past two games, which led to Isaac TeSlaa handling a near-every-down role in an offense that's been using a ton of three-wide looks due to TE injuries. Neither Raymond nor TeSlaa tends to see many targets, but TeSlaa has found some success as a red-zone weapon to complement Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

The Patriots placed Reynolds (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday.

Reynolds will have to miss at least New England's next three games while working his way back to full health, so his next chance to be elevated from the practice squad and contribute won't arrive until the playoffs. He hasn't yet suited up for a game with the Patriots since having joined the team's practice squad in November.

Davis (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Davis is nursing an ankle injury suffered during Monday's win over the Eagles. He'll have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field in advance of Sunday's road game against the Chiefs. Hassan Haskins will stand to handle an expanded role in the return game if Davis isn't able to play Week 15.

Molden (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Molden suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's win over the Eagles and was forced off the field early, so it's little surprise to see him sidelined at practice. The starting safety will have two more chance to get in at least limited on-field reps ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs.

Ferguson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Both Ferguson and WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) operated with a cap on their reps to begin Week 15 prep, but the former's health concern didn't emerge until Wednesday. As a result, Ferguson's status will continue to be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

The Chargers signed Patterson to the practice squad Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Los Angeles waived Patterson on Monday after activating running backs Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins from IR, but he now re-signs with the team as an emergency depth option. Unless the Chargers suffer further injuries in the backfield down the stretch, however, it's unlikely that Patterson will be called upon as a gameday contributor again.

Lamb (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb sustained a concussion in the third quarter of last Thursday's loss at Detroit, and while he remains in the protocol for head injuries as of Wednesday, as coach Brian Schottenheimer told Todd Archer of ESPN.com, the wide receiver must "clear two more hurdles," including gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Lamb will have two more chances to practice fully this week before the Cowboys likely tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

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

Mitchell got encouraging MRI results Tuesday after exiting Baltimore's Week 14 loss to the Steelers due to a knee injury. If Mitchell is able to play Sunday against the Bengals, he'll likely work in a change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry, as the Ravens remain without Justice Hill (neck), who isn't eligible to return from injured reserve prior to Week 17.

Crosby (knee) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Crosby managed to play through his knee injury during Las Vegas' loss to the Broncos in Week 14, a contest in which he tallied four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks while playing 100 percent of defensive snaps. The star pass rusher will work to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Eagles, a feat that it seems like he could accomplish without him necessarily having to get on the practice field at all.

Jackson was held out of Wednesday's practice to rest and isn't listed with any injury for Week 15.

The Ravens have listed Jackson with various lower-body injuries this season, including last week after his foot got stepped on during practice. He appeared to have his usual mobility during Sunday's 27-22 loss to Pittsburgh, but it wasn't enough to turn things around for the Ravens and their disappointing offense. On paper, Jackson's Week 15 matchup at Cincinnati is about as good as it gets. However, Jackson finished with no TDs and three turnovers in a home loss to the Bengals just two weeks ago.
