Landry (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Landry has been on the injury report with a knee injury since late November. He's played in every game since, so he should be available for New England's Week 16 matchup against the Ravens.

Nunez-Roches (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Nunez-Roches was unavailable for the team's Week 15 loss to the Commanders as he nursed an ankle injury, and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The defensive tackle didn't practice at all last week, and he'll have two more chances to get back out on the field prior to Sunday's matchup with Minnesota.

Hines-Allen (illness/shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Hines-Allen led Jacksonville defensive linemen in defensive snaps (50) in Week 15 versus the Jets, but he's now missing the Jaguars' first practice of the new week with a couple different issues. He'll likely need to participate in some capacity at practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of playing in Week 16 at Denver.

Jones (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Jones went without a tackle for the first time this season in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers in Week 15, and he may have left he contest a little worse for wear. The defensive lineman will have two more chances to move past the hamstring injury and log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Sanders (hip) had his 21-day window opened to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Sanders has been sidelined for the entirety of the regular season to this point while nursing a hip injury he suffered in August. He will now have a 21-day practice window opened, and he's eligible to be added to the active roster at any point in that time frame. Riley Patterson has operated as Miami's starting kicker so far this year, going 24-for-26 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, so there's no guarantee that the Dolphins activate Sanders this season.

Ossai (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Ossai picked up a shin issue back in Week 14 at Buffalo, but it's not clear if his current status is related or if there's a new problem. Either way, he'll probably have to get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday to have a shot to play in Week 16 at Miami.

Jones (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Jones was knocked out of Sunday's game versus the Ravens in the second quarter by an ankle injury, and now his status for Week 16 is up in the air. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have an opportunity to suit up Sunday at Miami.

Mauigoa (neck) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Jets' walkthrough Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Mauigoa was sidelined for the team's Week 15 loss to the Jaguars due to a neck injury, and he appears to be still working his way back. The linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's contest against New Orleans. Mykal Walker would likely handle a larger workload again on defense in Week 16 if Mauigoa remains inactive.

Jones (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Jones has not missed a game this season and has only been on the injury report once this season with an elbow injury. It's unclear if his availability for a Week 16 matchup against Baltimore is in doubt, but Jones' potential absence would hurt the Patriots' secondary and special teams units.

Waller (rest/knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waller logged a 54 percent snap share in Monday's 28-15 loss to the Steelers en route to catching seven of his eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the contest. Given that the Dolphins held a walk-through Wednesday, Thursday's injury report should add more relevant context to the tight end's Week 16 status, but so far there's nothing to suggest that he'll miss this weekend's game against the Bengals, which will mark QB Quinn Ewers' first regular-season start.
