Williams (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Williams has now missed back-to-back practices since being forced out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos early due to a knee injury. He'll have one more opportunity to get back on the practice field in advance of Saturday's divisional matchup against Chicago. Zayne Anderson will be the favorite to start across from Xavier McKinney if Williams can't play Week 16.

Brooks (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Brooks has been limited in back-to-back practices to begin Week 16 preparations, though Green Bay only held a walk-through session Tuesday. The change-of-pace back will have one more opportunity to prove he can mange full practice reps prior to Saturday's road matchup against the Bears.

Bryant (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Bryant appears back to full health after having missed Week 15 due to a hamstring issue. Barring any setbacks, the rookie wideout can be considered fully on track for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He'll contribute as one of Denver's starting receivers in three-wide sets alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Marvin Mims in the No. 4 role.

Brown (personal) practiced fully Wednesday.

Brown was unavailable for Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers as he tended to a personal matter. The wideout's full participation in Wednesday's practice has him trending toward returning to the lineup this weekend against the Titans. If that's the case, Brown would bolster a Kansas City WR corps that could be without Rashee Rice and/or Tyquan Thornton (who are both in the NFL's concussion protocol) in QB Gardner Minshew's first start of the season.

Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Williams was also listed as limited during Tuesday's walk-through session. A lingering foot injury has forced the rookie third-round pick to sit out each of Green Bay's last three games. He'll have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice level ahead of Saturday's divisional matchup at Chicago.

Edmunds (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Edmunds has now logged back-to-back limited practices since having his 21-day window opened. The starting linebacker had missed Chicago's last four games while on IR due to a groin injury. He may need to upgrade to full practice reps Friday in order to be activated from IR in time to play Saturday versus Green Bay.

Homer (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Homer missed Week 15 and was limited in practice Tuesday, but it looks like he's ready to rock for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Packers. Expect Homer to resume contributing on special teams and providing backfield depth Week 16.

Tuten (finger) did not practice Wednesday.

Tuten is expected to undergo right finger surgery and miss multiple weeks, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN, though the Jaguars haven't yet officially ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. John Shipley of SI reports that LeQuint Allen will step into a larger role on offense behind Travis Etienne as long as Tuten remains sidelined, while Jacksonville signed DeeJay Dallas on Tuesday to contribute on special teams.

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

Fant was forced off the field during the second quarter of Cincinnati's loss to the Ravens in Week 15 due to a right ankle issue, and he appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins. If Fant isn't able to gain clearance for Week 16, Tanner Hudson will operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

Higgins (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Ben Baby of ESPN.com previously noted via coach Zac Taylor that Higgins remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the wideout now having two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level before the Bengals' Week 16 game statuses are posted. In his absence during the team's 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday, Mitchell Tinsley logged added WR snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.
