Williams (knee) was estimated as a non-participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Williams left Sunday's game at Denver early after suffering a knee injury in the second half, and now his availability for Week 16 is in doubt. He'll likely have to participate at practice Wednesday or Thursday to give himself any chance of suiting up Saturday at Chicago.

Carter (shoulders) was estimated as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Carter continues to recover from surgery on both of his shoulders, which he underwent earlier this month. The standout defensive tackle has missed the Eagles' last two games, and his lack of activity to begin the week puts him in danger of sitting out a third straight contest Saturday versus the Commanders. Byron Young will continue to see an expanded role along the defensive line for as long as Carter is sidelined.

Williams (foot) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Williams has missed Green Bay's last three contests due to a nagging foot issue, and his status for Week 16 is now up in the air as well. He'll get two more opportunities to manage a full practice before the Packers publish their last practice report of the week Thursday.

Wagner (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Wagner has been dealing with a knee injury for most of December, but he hasn't yet missed any games. The veteran linebacker was listed as a DNP due both to the knee and "rest" Wednesday, suggesting that his absence was for injury maintenance rather than a setback. The knee issue didn't seem to bother Wagner in Sunday's win against the Giants, as he logged seven tackles while playing every defensive snap for Washington.

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

Edmunds missed the Bears' last four games due to a groin injury, but he was designated to return from IR on Monday and has progressed enough in his recovery to participate in practice, albeit in a limited capacity during Tuesday's walkthrough. He would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Saturday's NFC North tilt against the Packers. D'Marco Jackson has started in each of the Bears' last four games, but he would likely revert to a rotational role on defense and contributor on special teams once Edmunds is cleared to return.

Whyle (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Whyle suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Denver, and now he's in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game at Chicago. He'll probably have to return to practice in some capacity Wednesday or Thursday to have any chance of playing in Week 16.

Goldman (concussion) was a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Goldman suffered a concussion in Sunday's win over the Giants and appears to still be having symptoms. In order for him to suit up against the Eagles on Saturday, he'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and presumably return to practice in some capacity. If Goldman can't play in Week 16, Jer'Zhan Newton is among those who could see an uptick in defensive snaps.

Brooks (chest) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.

Brooks was a bit more involved in the offense in Week 15 with Josh Jacobs playing through a lingering knee injury, but it looks like he might have hurt his chest during Sunday's game. He still has two more chances to log a full practice before Green Bay releases its final practice report of the week Thursday.

The Packers listed Watson (chest/shoulder) as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Watson avoided a major injury after he was briefly hospitalized following a hard fall to the turf during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, but his availability for this Saturday's game in Chicago still appears to be very much up in the air. His absence Tuesday doesn't come as a major surprise, and he'll likely need to get in some on-field work by Thursday in order to put himself on a path to play this weekend. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that a decision on the wideout's status could be taken "up to game time," per Zach Kruse of USA Today.

Homer (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Homer picked up an ankle injury during the Bears' Week 14 loss to the Packers, which prevented him from playing in Sunday's win over the Browns. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and give himself a chance to return for Saturday's NFC North tilt against Green Bay. When healthy, Homer has mostly contributed on special teams while providing backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift and rookie seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai.
