  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Limited Wednesday

    Jacobs (knee/ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

    Despite heading into the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Ravens without a designation, Jacobs played the third-most offensive snaps (13) among Green Bay running backs behind Chris Brooks' 21 and Emanuel Wilson's 17. The result was Jacobs' least productive game of the season (five touches for three total yards). Coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday that some starters won't play Sunday in Minnesota, and with the Packers locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC side of the playoffs, Jacobs may be among those players to ensure he's as healthy as possible for the wild-card round.

  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: No practice Wednesday

    Tipton (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Tipton logged three consecutive limited practices prior to being ruled out to face the Titans in Week 17, so to see him now listed as a non-participant could indicate a setback in his recovery. If Tipton isn't able to gain clearance for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, expect all of Kevin Austin, Dante Pettis and practice-squad man Ronnie Bell to see increased opportunities behind No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (illness).

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: DNP again

    Adams (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Adams missed the past two games and isn't looking great for Week 18 against the Cardinals. The Rams merely held a walk-through Wednesday but should have an actual practice Thursday. If Adams doesn't participate, his likelihood of returning for Sunday's game will be slim.

  • Roquan Smith ILB | BAL

    Ravens' Roquan Smith: Nursing hamstring injury

    Smith (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Smith may have tweaked his hamstring during Baltimore's Week 17 win over Green Bay, when he posted three tackles (one solo) while playing 41 of 47 defensive snaps (87.2 percent). The eighth-year linebacker will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's AFC North tilt against the Steelers.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Listed as full participant

    Higbee (ankle) is listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    The Rams merely held a walkthrough but apparently consider Higbee ready for full practice participation -- a step he may take in earnest Thursday afternoon. This hints at a return from injured reserve when first eligible Sunday against Arizona.

  • Zayne Anderson SAF | GB

    Packers' Zayne Anderson: Lands on IR

    The Packers placed Anderson (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Anderson hurt his ankle in Saturday's loss to Baltimore, and the injury is severe enough to result in placement on IR. The veteran safety worked primarily on special teams when healthy, with 20 of his 22 defensive snaps coming Week 15 against Denver. He'll finish the regular season with 15 tackles (five solo) over 14 games.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Listed as DNP

    Corum (ankle) is estimated as a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Corum missed the second half of Monday's loss at Atlanta after spraining his ankle during the second quarter. Kyren Williams dominated work throughout the second half, though he's also dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

  • Charlie Kolar TE | BAL

    Ravens' Charlie Kolar: Limited by nose injury

    Kolar (nose) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Kolar may have picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 17 win over the Packers, when he played 57 snaps (37 on offense, 20 on special teams) while failing to haul in his lone target from Tyler Huntley late in the third quarter. Kolar will have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Full practice Wednesday

    Love (left shoulder/concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    This marks Love's first uncapped session since he sustained a concussion Week 16 at Chicago, but coach Matt LaFleur told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic earlier Wednesday that Love still was in the concussion protocol, while also saying some starters won't suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Although No. 2 QB Malik Willis (right shoulder/hamstring) was limited Wednesday, he wasn't among the signal-callers (Love and practice-squad members Clayton Tune and Desmond Ridder) spotted throwing, according to Demovsky. The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed on the NFC side of the playoffs, so they don't have much incentive to put Love or even Willis in harm's way, but it remains anyone guess who among that duo or Tune will be under center for Green Bay this weekend.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Limited with ankle injury

    Williams (ankle) is listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    The Rams held a walk-through just two days after losing to Atlanta on Monday Night Football. RB Blake Corum left the game early with an ankle injury and never returned, though he did hang around on the sideline with a helmet, perhaps still available in an emergency capacity. Williams also looked to get banged up at one point, but only briefly, re-entering the game and handling a vast majority of snaps after halftime. The Rams seemingly are expected to use starters Week 18 against Arizona, but there'd still be some risk of Ronnie Rivers taking over the backfield as the game progresses.
