Adams (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Adams was able to play through a knee injury during the Raiders' Week 14 loss to the Broncos, when he finished with one solo tackle while playing 20 of 74 defensive snaps (27.0 percent). He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Carter (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

Carter sat out of the Eagles' 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers on Monday after undergoing procedures on both of his shoulders in the early stages of Week 14 prep. The third-year defensive lineman is considered week-to-week, but unless he practices in at least a limited capacity over the next two days, he's unlikely to be available for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Byron Young will continue to see more defensive snaps for as long as Carter is sidelined.

Schooler (ankle) was a full participant in New England's practice Wednesday.

Schooler returned to practice for the first time since sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the Bengals. Now healthy, the 28-year-old should continue to contribute on special teams during Sunday's matchup against Buffalo.

Williams (tibia) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Williams was unable to play in the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals due to a tibia injury, but his estimated ability to practice in full in Wednesday's walkthrough puts him on track to return against the Lions on Sunday. Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace will likely see their defensive snaps cut, assuming Williams is cleared to play Week 15.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in New England's practice Wednesday.

Wilson is healthy again after sitting out the team's Week 13 win over the Giants due to a high ankle sprain. The rookie third-round pick should return to his role as the team's starting left guard in Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo.

Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Young has been able to play through a knee injury during the Rams' last two games, so he should be available to play Sunday against the Lions barring a setback. The third-year edge rusher has tallied 12 tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, over his last two games.

Anderson (knee) was placed on the reserve/injured list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Anderson has appeared in nine games for the Steelers this season, but he suffered a knee injury in Week 13 that could cost him the rest of his season. He won't be eligible to be activated until the postseason, if Pittsburgh qualifies.

Tuttle (concussion) was a full participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday.

Tuttle has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a concussion but is now closer to returning. However, the 30-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's game versus the 49ers.

Jackson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson continues to work through a neck issue that has sidelined him for the Vikings' last two games. He would be on track to return against the Cowboys on Sunday if he were to practice in full over the next two days. Jackson's return would lead to less defensive snaps being available for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward.

Fant (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Fant missed Washington's Week 14 matchup against the Vikings with a knee injury, but it appears he's made a quick recovery. He should return to a depth tackle role in Sunday's game against the Giants.
