Jeudy (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

He was listed with a knee injury last week, logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to full participation Friday and avoiding a game designation. Jeudy tied TE Harold Fannin for the team lead in route share (85 percent) during Sunday's 31-6 win over Miami, finishing with just 16 yards on four targets in a bad-weather game during which the Browns attempted a mere 18 passes. It was Jeudy's fifth straight game with fewer than 40 receiving yards and single-digit PPR points, but Cleveland's lack of alternatives at wide receiver means he should continue getting plenty of snaps if he's healthy enough to play this Sunday at New England.

Njoku (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Njoku returned to practice Wednesday after having missed Cleveland's win over the Dolphins in Week 7. Coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated that Njoku remains "day-to-day" but that he's "hopeful" the tight end will be able to retake the field versus the Patriots on Sunday. With that in mind, if Njoku is able to resume practicing in full Thursday and/or Friday, he'll have a solid chance to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Scott (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at the Chargers.

The same can be said for fellow RB Aaron Jones (hamstring), though the Vikings will need to activate him from injured reserve Thursday afternoon for him to have a chance to return to action for the first time since Week 2. If Jones remains sidelined and Scott is deemed active, the latter will resume his modest role behind Jordan Mason from the last four contests (6.8 touches for 29.5 yards from scrimmage per game while recording one TD catch).

Dye (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Dye logged his third consecutive limited practice session of Week 8 on Wednesday, and he had been unable to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Los Angeles' loss to the Colts in Week 7. That bodes well for his odds of being cleared to suit up Thursday, though the final word on Dye's status may not arrive until 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Mooney (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Plagued by the injury bug this season, Mooney has made just four appearances through seven weeks, but he put together his most-productive performance to date this past Sunday at San Francisco (3-68-0 on five targets). His hamstring injury is following him into Week 8 prep, though, so his activity level will be monitored as the week continues to see if he again will be good to go Sunday versus the Dolphins.

Jackson was officially limited at practice Wednesday.

In his first practice since injuring his right hamstring in a Sept. 28 loss to Kansas City, Jackson was eased back into the mix, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, while taking QB reps along with Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley. When asked about Jackson's status for Sunday's game against the Bears, coach John Harbaugh noted Wednesday that "it's hard to put a number on it. I don't have any shareable injury intelligence." Jackson now has two more chances to practice fully before the Ravens post their Week 8 injury designations Friday afternoon.

Walker (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Walker wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Rams, but now coming off Baltimore's bye he appears back to full health. He figures to resume handling his usual depth role at wide receiver during Sunday's home game against the Bears. Across five regular-season appearances so far, Walker has secured all three of his targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores having come Week 2 versus Cleveland.

Ridley (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Ridley hasn't practiced since exiting a Week 6 loss to the Raiders after just six snaps. Van Jefferson has stepped up as a full-time wideout opposite Elic Ayomanor the past two games, with Chimere Dike getting most of the slot snaps as the No. 3 receiver.

Jones (hamstring), who was designated for return from injured reserve Tuesday, is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest at the Chargers.

Jones was limited at walkthroughs Tuesday and Wednesday, but the activity was enough to give him a chance for his first game action since Week 2, when he suffered a hamstring injury during a loss to the Falcons. Jordan Mason has been capable out of the Vikings backfield in place of Jones, racking up 301 yards from scrimmage and four rushing TDs on 66 touches over the last four outings. Fellow RB Zavier Scott (wrist) also is listed as questionable for Week 8, so the transactions made by Minnesota on Thursday afternoon, like potentially activating Jones from IR, will be telling for who will join Mason as options for the ground game.

Molden (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Molden logged three consecutive limited practice sessions in preparation for Week 8 action, so it appears he has a fair chance to gain clearance to suit up for Thursday Night Football. The starting safety's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
