The Giants claimed Miller off waivers Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Miller was waived by the Buccaneers on Wednesday after playing in all 13 games for the franchise this season. The wide receiver plays the majority of his snaps with the special-teams unit and was likely waived due to the Buccaneers' receiving room getting healthier. With Gunner Olszewski (concussion) questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Miller may be thrust into a role as the Giants' No. 5 wide receiver in his first game with the team.

Spillane (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Spillane was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's possible his foot injury occurred in practice. If Spillane ends up missing Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Marte Mapu will figure to handle an expanded role on defense.

Demercado (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Demercado has been listed as limited on four of the Cardinals' last five injury reports as he continues his recovery from the high-ankle sprain that has sidelined him the last three games. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal if Demercado has a chance to rejoin Arizona's backfield Sunday at Houston, but for the time being, Bam Knight and Michael Carter are in line to continue sharing the load this weekend.

Wiggins (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Wiggins hurt his foot in the Ravens' Week 13 loss to the Bengals, but he will be good to go for Sunday's rematch with the division rival as Baltimore attempts to remain in contention for the AFC North title. The outside cornerback has logged 94 percent of defensive snaps or higher since Week 6, except for Week 13, where he exited early. The 2024 first-rounder will look to get back to his usual workload in Sunday's contest.

Awuzie (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Awuzie was a surprise addition to Wednesday's report as a non-participant due to a shoulder injury. Oddly enough, the injury designation disappeared just as fast, and the cornerback was able to upgrade to a full participant Thursday. It appears the 30-year-old is set to suit up as the starting outside corner for Sunday's rematch with the Bengals.

Dodson (hamstring) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dodson had to be evaluated for a hamstring issue during Sunday's win over the Jets, but it appears he's back to full health and ready for Monday's game against the Steelers. Prior to being hampered by a hamstring injury Week 14, Dodson had strung together four consecutive games with at least a 95 percent snap share.

Williams (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Williams' upgrade in participation bodes well for his chances to be able to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. The outside linebacker has one more practice to prove he should be free of an injury designation, and it may be key that he is. The Jets' linebacker corps is littered with injuries, and with Francisco Mauigoa (neck) also listed as questionable, Kobe King is the sole outside linebacker who is guaranteed to be ready for Sunday.

Mitchell (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Mitchell has recovered from the knee injury that led to his early exit from the past Sunday's loss to the Steelers. The speedster is expected to work in a complementary role to power runner Derrick Henry against the Bengals on Sunday as part of a Baltimore backfield that's missing Justice Hill (neck, IR).

Adams (hamstring) was spotted rehabbing on the side as the Rams warmed up for Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Adams didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering hamstring injury and may go down as a DNP for a second straight day, which ultimately will be revealed when the Rams post their second Week 15 practice report. He also dealt with the issue last week but suited up this past Sunday in Arizona, logging a season-low 43 percent snap share en route to four catches (on six targets) for 29 yards.

Douglas (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Douglas played just 74 percent of defensive snaps during Miami's win over the Jets in Week 14 after having played 100 percent of snaps Week 13, so it's possible he suffered his foot injury during the game against New York. He made a tremendous impact for the Dolphins versus the Jets, with two tackles and five defensed passes, including one interception. Douglas will reprise a crucial starting role in Miami's secondary versus the Steelers on Monday, as long as he's able to gain clearance.
