Dexter Lawrence DT | NYG
Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Misses practice with illness
Lawrence (illness) did not participate at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Lawrence was added to the injury report with an illness Thursday, missing the team's second practice of the week. The defensive tackle will have one more chance to return to practice and potentially avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Nate Adkins TE | DEN
Broncos' Nate Adkins: Full practice Thursday
Adkins (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official website reports.
Adkins was able to log a full practice after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday, moving past the knee injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 17 win over the Chiefs. The tight end will likely operate in his traditional depth role behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman in Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Logs full practice Thursday
Bryant (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Bryant entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a huge hit during the fourth quarter of the Broncos' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars, which resulted in him being carted off the field and taken to a local hospital. He did not play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, but his ability to practice in full indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The last step Bryant needs to take in order to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers is to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist.

Omarion Hampton RB | LAC
Chargers' Omarion Hampton: Misses another practice Thursday
Hampton (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Hampton also logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, and considering that the Chargers are planning to rest QB Justin Herbert (hand) in Week 18, it's possible that they'll err on the side of caution with Hampton, with the team's looming playoff run in mind. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Hampton has a chance to be in uniform Sunday against the Broncos or instead will have to wait until wild-card weekend to see his next game action.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited with illness
Reed (illness) was limited at practice Thursday.
An illness has capped Reed's practice reps this week, leaving him just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the Packers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at Minnesota. Since he returned to action Week 14 following an IR stint, he's hauled in 16 of 17 targets for 162 yards and no touchdowns over the last four games.

Malik Willis QB | GB
Packers' Malik Willis: Still limited at practice
Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Willis maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session as he tends to the right shoulder injury that he aggravated this past Saturday against the Ravens. Even if he's able to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota, he doesn't have a chance to start, as coach Matt LaFleur announced Thursday that Clayton Tune will get the Week 18 nod, while Jordan Love cleared concussion protocol.

Blake Corum RB | LAR
Rams' Blake Corum: Another DNP
Corum (ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Corum made an early exit from Monday's loss in Atlanta due to an ankle injury that so far hasn't allowed him to mix into any drills in the meantime. He'll have one more chance to do so, or else he and fellow RB Kyren Williams (ankle, LP so far this week) may enter the weekend with designations for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
-
Kyren Williams RB | LAR
Rams' Kyren Williams: Limited again Thursday
Williams (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
Both of the Rams' top two running backs are dealing with health concerns at the moment, but Williams at least has been able to log some on-field work, as opposed to Blake Corum (ankle), who was a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Williams and/or Corum carry designations ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
-
Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Limited Thursday
Adams (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
This marks Adams' first on-field work since Week 15 prep as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury. While his ability to practice is a notable sign in his recovery, he isn't expected to be available Sunday against the Cardinals, as coach Sean McVay told Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register on Wednesday. In the end, the Rams can make a ruling on his status for Week 18 on Friday's practice report.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Ready for Week 18
Shaheed (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Shaheed was forced out in the first quarter of this past Sunday's win at Carolina due to a concussion, but he's made quick work through the protocol for head injuries in the meantime, following up Tuesday's limited walkthrough with back-to-back full sessions. Now the he's confirmed to be available for Week 18, he'll look to build upon the 14-186-0 line on 25 targets that he's managed in eight contests since he joined the Seahawks at the trade deadline.
