Donaldson (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Fellow RB Alvin Kamara (back) also logged a limited session Wednesday, with added context regarding the duo's Week 7 status slated to arrive via Thursday's practice report. In the Saints' 34-27 win over the Giants in Week 6, Donaldson recorded six carries for 39 yards and lost a fumble while working alongside Kamara (seven carries for 34 yards and two catches for 35 yards with a TD) as well as Kendre Miller (20 carries for 70 yards).

Mooney (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Mooney wasn't cleared to return to this past Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Saints after injuring his neck in the fourth quarter, but he evidently responded well to treatment and faced no restrictions as the Giants returned to the field to begin Week 7 prep. With Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely demanding most of the looks in the passing game this season, Mooney has struggled to carve out consistent weekly volume. Through six appearances, Mooney has been targeted 19 times and has recorded an 8-109-0 receiving line while also adding 29 yards on two carries.

Williams (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Also estimated as limited participants Wednesday were Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder), while Bo Melton was a deemed a non-participant. Thursday's on-field session should provide a better idea of the health of Green Bay's wideout corps ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions. In his regular-season debut in a Week 6 win over the Cowboys, Williams logged a 53 percent snap share while working behind Watson and Golden en route to catching all four of his targets for 32 yards and rushing twice for nine yards.

Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

This now marks three weeks in a row in which Kamara has had practice restrictions due to a back issue, but he's been able to play through it the last two games, accounting for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD on 14 touches during that stretch. The Saints may limit his on-field work Thursday and/or Friday, but there's been no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Steelers in Paris.

Hockenson (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

In the wake of suffering a concussion during a Week 5 win in New Orleans, Hockenson had the benefit of a Week 6 bye and took advantage of it, but a full practice Wednesday doesn't necessarily mean he's out of the protocol for head injuries just yet. He'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to be able to play Sunday against the Colts.

Dowdle was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

Dowdle had missed three consecutive games due to a dislocated toe on his right foot before returning to action for this past Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Buccaneers. While playing 21 of the Steelers' 79 offensive snaps, Dowdle finished with seven carries for 40 yards and added three catches for nine yards, but he appears to have emerged from the contest with a new injury. His ability to practice in any capacity to begin Week 7 is generally a good sign, but Dowdle may need to upgrade to full participation by Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Saints in Paris.

Mason (thumb), who remains on injured reserve, practiced in full Wednesday.

The Vikings designated Mason for return from IR on Monday, and two days later he was uninhibited on the practice field. He's seeking his first game action since Week 1, after which he underwent surgery on a small fracture in his thumb. The team will need to activate Mason by Saturday afternoon in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday against the Colts, but a full practice Wednesday puts him on pace to be involved in such a transaction.

Jefferson (ankle) was a limited at Wednesday's practice.

Despite having the benefit of a Week 6 bye, Jefferson appears to be dealing with the ankle injury that he suffered in Week 3 and forced inactive status in Week 4 before he suited up in Week 5 at New Orleans, when he hauled in six of seven targets for 79 yards and one touchdown. Meanwhile, fellow WR Jordan Addison (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, meaning Jefferson has a bit of work to do to get the top of the Vikings' receiving corps back to 100 percent.

Schultz didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

Schultz is making his first appearance of the season on the injury report after he apparently got banged up during this past Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London. The Texans haven't yet indicated that Schultz's availability for this weekend's game versus the Giants is in any peril, but he'll need to resume practicing in some fashion over the next two days to assuage fantasy managers' concerns about his health.

Addison (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Prior to the Vikings' last game Week 5 at New Orleans, for which Addision was inactive, he managed a pair of limited practices as he tended to a sore hamstring. After a Week 6 bye, his ability to handle every on-field rep has him in the clear for Sunday's game versus the Colts. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) still limited Wednesday, Addison may in line for a bit more reps this weekend if the former is at all inhibited.
