Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lloyd has been a limited participant in each practice since the Packers designated him to return from injured reserve last week. He won't necessarily contribute this season even if deemed healthy enough to do so, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks appear to be trusted with backup roles behind Josh Jacobs.

Reed (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

It's interesting to see Reed listed with only a shoulder injury considering he dealt with a Jones fracture in his foot earlier this season (in addition to a broken collarbone). In any case, he returned from an absence of nearly three months to handle a 48 percent offensive snap share and a 65 percent route share during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reed finished with four catches for 31 yards and two carries for 22 yards, essentially returning to his full pre-injury role.

Muasau (ankle), who remains on IR, was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Muasau had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and is already participating in full, which seemly gives him a realistic chance to be activated from IR in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Commanders. Once back in action, Muasau will stand to bump Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles down the depth chart at inside linebacker.

Golden (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Golden returned from a two-game absence to play just 10 percent of Green Bay's snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reports have suggested that Golden and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) might have played more if they'd been healthy, but it also seems like Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the top three on the depth chart.

Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Wicks was listed with an ankle injury last week but didn't have a designation for Sunday's eventual win over Chicago. He played just 10 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in the contest -- one week after scoring a pair of TDs against the Lions -- but that was partially a product of Jayden Reed returning from injured reserve. It is possible that Wicks would've played more without the ankle injury but probably not enough to warrant fantasy consideration.

Flannigan-Fowles (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Flannigan-Fowles missed Week 13 due to a neck injury, but he's emerged from New York's bye week at full health. Barring any setbacks, Flannigan-Fowles can be considered on track to contribute at inside linebacker during Sunday's game against the Commanders. That said, Darius Muasau (ankle) has been designated to return from IR and practiced in full Wednesday, and if he's cleared to retake the field versus Washington, Flannigan-Fowles' role on defense will stand to decrease.

Jacobs (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Schneidmann suggests Jacobs' absence is likely just maintenance for the knee injury that he played through the past two games (after missing Week 12). Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that Jacobs was riding a stationary bike and doing work off to the side while his teammates practiced Wednesday. A return to practice Thursday would confirm that Jacobs is on track to play through the knee injury again.

Nunez-Roches (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Nunez-Roches wasn't listed on New York's injury report prior to the team's Week 13 loss to the Patriots, so he may have suffered his ankle injury during the team's Week 14 bye. If Nunez-Roches isn't healthy enough to play Sunday versus the Commanders, rookie third-round pick Darius Alexander will inherit an expanded role on defense.

Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Atwell is approaching the end of his 21-day practice window, which means he either needs to be activated to the roster or ruled out on IR for the rest of the season. The Rams plan to activate him following two straight weeks of full participation in every practice. The decision to not activate Atwell earlier suggests he's unlikely to have a major role down the stretch.
