Denzel Perryman MLB | LAC
Chargers' Denzel Perryman: DNP due to groin injury
Perryman (groin) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report.
Perryman has not practiced or played since injuring his groin during the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals. The veteran linebacker will have to practice in at least a limited capacity this week in order to play against the Falcons on Sunday. If Perryman doesn't play, Nick Niemann would likely draw a second consecutive start at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley.

Roquan Smith ILB | BAL
Ravens' Roquan Smith: Estimated as limited
Smith (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
Smith was sidelined for Baltimore's Week 12 win over the Chargers on Monday night after not practicing all week, so Wednesday's estimated DNP could indicate that he's nearing a return. The All-Pro linebacker's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up in Week 13, when the Ravens face the Eagles.

Malachi Corley WR | NYJ
Jets' Malachi Corley: DNP with illness Wednesday
Corley (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
After fumbling what would have been his first career touchdown out of the back of the end zone in Week 9 against the Texans, Corley has seen his offensive involvement tick upward over the last two contests, securing his second and third career catches for a total of 12 yards on 28 offensive snaps as the fourth wideout behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson. Irvin Charles would be next up for snaps if Corley can't play against Seattle.

Alohi Gilman SAF | LAC
Chargers' Alohi Gilman: Nursing hamstring injury
Gilman (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Gilman played 40 defensive snaps and logged one pass defense during the Chargers' 30-23 loss to the Ravens this past Monday. However, the fifth-year safety may have picked up a hamstring injury in the process, which forced him to be sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Gilman will have two more chances this week to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Tyler Higbee TE | LAR
Rams' Tyler Higbee: Practice window opens
The Rams designated Higbee (knee) for return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
This transaction follows comments from head coach Sean McVay on Tuesday that Higbee was in line to return to practice this week, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. At the same time, McVay relayed that Higbee is unlikely to play Sunday at New Orleans. The Rams will likely take a cautious approach with Higbee, who suffered ACL and MCL tears in his right knee back on Jan. 14 in a playoff loss in Detroit. With his 21-day window in which to get back on the active roster opened, he's drawing closer to making his season debut.

David Long ILB | DET
Lions' David Long: Signed to active roster
The Lions signed Long off their practice squad Wednesday.
Long was released by the Dolphins on Nov. 13 and signed with Detroit's practice squad five days later. He played 13 defensive snaps in his Lions debut last week against the Colts and now joins the active roster. Long has 76 career regular-season games of experience, including 49 starts.

Arthur Maulet CB | BAL
Ravens' Arthur Maulet: DNP on Wednesday's estimation
Maulet (calf/knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
Maulet has missed the Ravens' last two games due to a calf injury, and Wednesday's estimated DNP suggests he could be sidelined for additional time. The veteran corner has appeared in just three games this season, recording five total tackles. He'll likely miss Baltimore's Week 13 matchup against the Eagles if he can't upgrade to limited practice participation Thursday or Friday.

Kyle Van Noy MLB | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Estimated as DNP
Van Noy (hamstring/neck) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
Van Noy played 29 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Monday night's win over the Chargers. However, it now appears he sustained hamstring and neck injuries in the process. The veteran pass rusher will likely need to practice in a limited capacity Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 13 when the Ravens host the Eagles.
