Thompson (neck) was limited in practice Wednesday.

The 31-year-old appears to still be recovering from a neck injury he suffered in Week 16 against the Browns. Other than resting in Week 18, the injury hasn't stopped Thompson from playing (averaged 43.5 snaps in Week 17 and the wild-card round). The 10-year veteran will likely need to log at least a limited practice again Thursday for a chance to play Saturday.

Milano (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Milano logged his second straight limited practice after opening the week on the injury report with an ankle injury. The 31-year-old's status for the Bills' AFC divisional round matchup against the Broncos will likely depend on his participation in practice Thursday.

Kincaid (knee/calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Kincaid was also listed as limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice, which gives the tight end one more opportunity to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. Assuming Kincaid is available for the contest, he figures to remain a focal point in a Buffalo pass-catching corps that's been thinned-out by injuries to WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee).

Epenesa (neck) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Epenesa has been a limited participant in practice both Tuesday and Wednesday. The 27-year-old played his usual snap count (23) in the Bills' wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars, so it's unclear when his injury occurred. The six-year pro's status heading into the AFC divisional round will likely depend on his participation in practice Thursday.

Allen (foot/knee/right finger) practiced fully Wednesday.

Allen emerged from the Bills' wild-card win over the Jaguars managing a trio of injuries and was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through. The QB's return to a full session a day later, however, solidifies the notion that he'll be available for Saturday's divisional-round game at Denver and has him trending toward not being assigned an injury designation for the contest when Buffalo's final injury report is posted Thursday.

Johnson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Wednesday marks consecutive practices in which Johnson has been unable to participate, leaving his status for Saturday's divisional-round clash with the Broncos unclear. The running back missed last Sunday's playoff victory over the Jaguars due to a persistent ankle issue, and he will likely miss this Saturday's contest unless he can upgrade his practice participation in Thursday's session.

Prater (quad/calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Prater was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough but was able to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session. The kicker was questionable to play ahead of last Sunday's playoff win over the Jaguars, but he managed to suit up for the game and put forth a flawless effort. The 41-year-old should be all set to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, barring any setbacks.

Collins (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

While attempting to corral a C.J. Stroud pass in the third quarter of Monday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Collins wasn't able to brace himself as his helmet went directly into the turf. He remained on the field for a spell and then was carted from the sideline to the locker room, after which he was diagnosed with a concussion. With a short week to prepare for Sunday's divisional-round game in New England, Collins may be hard-pressed to gain clearance from the protocol for head injuries to be able to play this weekend, but he at least has chances Thursday and Friday for on-field work before then.

Gonzalez (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

The Patriots' starting cornerback suffered a concussion in the second half of last Sunday's playoff win over the Chargers. Gonzalez's ability to practice Wednesday means he is likely ready to continue progressing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in the hopes of being set to suit up for Sunday's divisional round matchup with the Texans.

Hairston (ankle) was not on the field during Wednesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Hairston was unable to participate in the Bills' wild-card victory over the Jaguars last Sunday due to an ankle injury that kept him out of practice during the week. The rookie cornerback has continued the trend of nonparticipation through Week 20, missing consecutive practices to start the week. Unless Hairston can upgrade his participation level in Thursday's session, he will likely miss the Bills' divisional round matchup with the Broncos on Saturday as well.
