  • Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: Looking likely to return Week 14

    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.

  • T.J. Edwards LB | CHI

    Bears' T.J. Edwards: Returns to practice

    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.

  • Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Limited at Wednesday's practice

    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.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Another full practice

    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.

  • Justin Reid S | NO

    Saints' Justin Reid: DNP on Wednesday

    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.

  • Quay Walker LB | LV

    Packers' Quay Walker: Practices in limited fashion

    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.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Limited Wednesday

    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.

  • Greg Dortch WR | BUF

    Cardinals' Greg Dortch: Dealing with chest injury

    Dortch (chest) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Dortch joined No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (heel) as one of eight Cardinals to not practice to kick off Week 14 prep, with the former's reason going down as a chest injury. There's been chatter that Harrison is in danger of missing time again after sitting out Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, while it's unknown if Dortch also is a candidate to be inactive Sunday versus the Rams. Ultimately, Friday's injury report may make a ruling on the statuses of both Harrison and Dortch, but for the time being, Michael Wilson, Xavier Weaver and Andre Baccellia are the healthy options at the position on Arizona's active roster.

  • D.J. Jones DT | DEN

    Broncos' D.J. Jones: Begins Week 14 as DNP

    Jones (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Jones suffered a shoulder injury Sunday night against Washington that caused him to miss the end of the overtime win, and he's now listed with an ankle issue. He'll probably need to return to practice in some capacity by the end of Friday in order to be able to play against Las Vegas on Sunday. Should Jones miss that matchup, Eyioma Uwazurike could see an uptick in defensive snaps.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LAR

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Battling thumb injury

    Bachman (thumb) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Bachman has handled 24 offensive snaps through 10 games, turning in one reception for nine yards. Most of his work comes on special teams, where he has returned 11 punts for 75 yards. If he can't play Sunday versus the Broncos, Tre Tucker likely will serve as the primary punt returner.
