Daniels (left elbow) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Sidelined since he dislocated his left elbow during a Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, Daniels hasn't been cleared for contact, as coach Dan Quinn on Wednesday corroborated Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report from Sunday. Quinn added that Daniels will "get a lot of reps in practice" this week, but the Commanders are "going to take it all the way through Friday" to determine his odds to return to action Sunday at Minnesota, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels thus seems in play to suit up Week 14, but if he doesn't gain the aforementioned clearance, Marcus Mariota will continue to lead Washington's offense for at least one more game.

Mayfield (left shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Mayfield didn't play after halftime of a Week 12 loss at the Rams due to what eventually was diagnosed as an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Cardinals, completing 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and turning six carries into 27 yards. The Buccaneers listed all of RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Mike Evans (collarbone, IR), Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) as limited Wednesday, so the overall situation bears watching as the week continues to get a sense of who Mayfield will be throwing to Sunday versus the Saints, assuming he's active himself.

Irving (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Making his first appearance since Week 4 this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Irving led the Buccaneers backfield to the tune of 19 touches for 81 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 52 percent snap share. His previous seven-game absence was induced by a subluxation of his left shoulder and a left foot sprain, the former of which is impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Evans (collarbone) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

The Buccaneers designated Evans for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, and coach Todd Bowles spoke on the wide receiver's current level of health, telling Brianna Dix of the team's official site, "Physically, he is fine. He's been running and everything. ... We have to see him in the football atmosphere, running routes pattern-wise. He has to get acclimated to that, so it will be good to see him tomorrow." That seems to indicate Tampa Bay has an official practice on deck Thursday, after which the team seemingly will have a better read on Evans' status. As for the rest of the offense, all of QB Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) were limited participants to begin Week 14 prep.

Jacobs (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs missed the Packers' Week 12 win against the Vikings due to a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he was able to return to action for last Thursday's victory at Detroit and paced the backfield in the process, taking 17 carries for 83 yards and catching his only target for eight yards. The aforementioned knee issue continues to linger, but there's been no indication that he's in any danger of being absent Sunday versus the Bears.

Kamara (knee/ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Kamara hasn't practiced since he sustained a sprained MCL during a Week 12 loss to the Falcons, and until he does he may not be a candidate to play on game days. Nevertheless, he'll have two more opportunities to prove his health this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay. If Kamara requires more time to recover, Devin Neal would be in line for his second start in a row after turniing 17 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage this past Sunday in Miami.

Olave (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave was able to play this past Sunday at Miami after dealing with a back injury last week. Coach Kellen Moore said that the issue flared up for Olave after that contest, and the fourth-year pro now will have two more chances this week to mix into drills before the Saints potentially tag him with a designation for a second straight week. Despite the health concern, Olave was able to log an 87 percent snap share Week 13 on his way to four catches (on seven targets) for 47 yards and one touchdown.

Dike (quad) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Dike was on the field for 76 percent of the Titans' snaps on offense in the team's Week 13 loss to the Jaguars, a game in which the wideout caught just one of his four targets for eight yards and carried once for one yard. Dike has two more chances to work fully before Tennessee's Week 14 injury statuses are posted Friday.

Washington (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

Washington was forced out of this past Sunday's win over the Titans after recording 24 snaps on offense. The wideout now has two more chances to practice before the Jaguars' Week 14 injury designations are released, but if Washington is limited or out this weekend against the Colts, added WR snaps alongside Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers would be available for the likes of Tim Patrick, Dyami Brown and practice squad member Austin Trammell.

Odunze was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury.

Odunze has operated with practice restrictions or sat out drills entirely this season due to ankle and heel injuries, so this appears to be a new health concern for the second-year wide receiver. His status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability, or lack thereof, as the Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.
