Ingold (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Ingold picked up an ankle injury during this past Sunday's win over the Saints. He's considered day-to-day at this point, giving him a good chance to play this Sunday versus the Jets. Ingold has played 20.3 offensive snaps per game, rushing two times for nine yards and catching five passes (seven targets) for 36 yards.

Sampson (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.

Zac Jackson of The Athletic reported Monday that coach Kevin Stefanski considered Sampson -- who was injured in Sunday's loss to the 49ers -- day-to-day ahead of Week 14 action. If Sampson is limited or out this weekend, Jerome Ford would be in line to see added snaps behind top RB Quinshon Judkins, with Raheim Sanders in reserve.

Darnold (ankle) isn't listed on the Seahawks' first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Darnold paid multiple visits to the sideline tent during this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, but he didn't miss any snaps until garbage time of the blowout win. On Monday, coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune that Darnold was dealing with an ankle issue but should be "good to go" Week 14 in Atlanta. With no designation to speak of on the team's first practice report of the week, Darnold will be under center for Seattle this Sunday.

Douglas (foot/illness) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Douglas was dealing with this foot injury ahead of last week's win over the Saints, but the illness is a new issue. It's encouraging that he was still able to practice in some capacity, however, giving him a good chance to play in Week 15 versus the Jets. Douglas has recorded 42 tackles (29 solo), six pass breakups, an interception and 1.0 sacks through 10 games.

Schwesinger (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Schwesinger produced double-digit tackles for the fourth straight week against the 49ers on Sunday, but he also suffered an ankle injury during the loss. It's promising that he was able to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited fashion, and the rookie linebacker will have two more days this week to return to full participation. In the event Schwesinger isn't able to suit up Sunday versus Tennessee, Jerome Baker could step into a more prominent role.

Bush (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Bush has stacked up 82 tackles, five pass breakups, 2.0 sacks and a pick-six through 12 games this season. He's in danger of missing his first game of the season unless he can practice in a limited fashion by Friday. Jerome Baker likely will start at strongside linebacker if Bush can't go.

Herbert said the surgery he recently underwent on his left (non-throwing) hand Monday went well and reiterated several times Wednesday that he's day-to-day and that his Week 14 status depends on the swelling in his hand, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

The QB added that having an extra day this week helps his cause on that front ahead of Monday night's game against the Eagles. Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Herbert noted Wednesday that he had a plate and multiple screws put in his hand during his procedure, which he says successfully "stabilized" the fractured he sustained during Week 13 action. For now, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Herbert is preparing as though he'll play against Philadelphia and hopes to test out his hand later this week.

Bates (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Bates missed last week's loss to the 49ers, and he's in danger of missing this Sunday's game versus the Titans unless he can return to the practice field by Friday. Even if Bates is able to play, he likely won't factor into the offensive gameplan because David Njoku (knee) is trending towards playing while Harold Fannin has the top spot locked up.

Green Bay signed Sheppard to the practice squad Wednesday.

Sheppard joined the Packers as an undrafted free agent this summer. He didn't make the team's initial 53-man roster but remained with the organization on the practice squad before signing to the active roster last Wednesday. Sheppard didn't end up playing on Thanksgiving against Detroit, and he was subsequently waived before ending up back on the practice squad Wednesday.

Branch (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.

Branch was a limited participant all week during practice, so he has a good chance to suit up in the important NFC clash. The third-year safety has averaged 6.3 tackles per game this season while adding eight pass breakups and 2.5 sacks through 11 games. If he winds up inactive, Daniel Thomas will get the nod at strong safety.
