Lassiter (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Lassiter hasn't been on the injury report since Week 2, but he'll be sidelined to begin the Texans' prep for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs. There's not much indication as to the seriousness of the issue, so his practice participation for the rest of the week will be important to monitor.

Adkins (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Adkins hurt his knee during a game against Dallas on Oct. 26. Though the Broncos have elected against placing Adkins on IR to this point, the tight end hasn't practiced since getting hurt and has missed four consecutive contests. Adam Trautman has worked as Denver's No. 2 tight end while Adkins has been out and will presumably continue to do so until Adkins returns.

White (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

White is no longer battling the illness that kept him out of the Week 13 loss to the Chargers. That doesn't mean he'll return to the lineup in Week 14 versus the Broncos, as White was a healthy scratch in the previous seven games.

Demercado (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Demercado officially was back on the practice field for the first time since he suffered a high-ankle sprain during a Week 11 loss to the 49ers. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full during Week 14 prep, or he'll be at risk of entering the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. If he's active, Demercado would be in the mix for snaps along with fellow RBs Bam Knight and Michael Carter, while it's unclear if Trey Benson (knee) has a chance to return from IR after he logged a third straight DNP on Wednesday.

Holmes (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Holmes has shaken off the illness that kept him out of the Week 13 loss to the Chargers. The 27-year-old slot cornerback has averaged 14.9 defensive snaps per game, totaling 15 tackles (10 solo) through 10 games.

Crosby (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Crosby dealt with a knee injury during last week's practices, but he looked just fine on the field in Week 13 versus the Chargers, playing every defensive snap and posting nine tackles (six solo) and 2.0 sacks. It's worth monitoring his status, but as long as he maintains limited participation, he has a good chance to play this week versus the Broncos.

Benson (knee) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

On the heels of three straight missed sessions going back to last week, Benson now has one week remaining to prove the health of his knee before his 21-day window to practice expires. If that were to occur, he'd remain on injured reserve for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile, Emari Demercado practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 11. If Benson isn't activated for Week 14 action and Demercado avoids a designation, the latter would join Bam Knight and Michael Carter as the top healthy RBs on Arizona's active roster.

Anderson (chest) did not practice Wednesday.

Anderson popped up on the injury report with the chest injury last Thursday, ahead of the Texans' Week 13 win over the Colts. He still played a normal allotment of snaps and logged four tackles, so there's minimal concern about his availability for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs at this point in the week.

Wiggins (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Wiggins missed the end of Baltimore's Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals due to a foot injury. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Wiggins is day-to-day, and the second-year cornerback's limited practice session Wednesday supports that assessment. The extent to which Wiggins is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh should become clearer with his status during the Ravens' next two practice sessions.

Haskins (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

This opened a 21-day window for Haskins to practice, and he can be activated at any time. The fourth-year running back practiced with the team Wednesday and could return to game action as soon as Sunday versus the Eagles. Once he returns to action, he's unlikely to have much of a role on offense because Omarion Hampton (ankle) is nearing a return and Kimani Vidal should serve as the No. 2 back.
