Ekwonu (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Ekwonu was held out of the Panthers' Week 16 win over the Buccaneers due to a knee injury. He is now on track to play against the Seahawks on Sunday and will likely reclaim the starting job at left tackle from Yosh Nijman.

Cross (hamstring) didn't participate in Seattle's practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Cross is still battling the hamstring injury that held him out of the Week 16 win over the Rams. Josh Jones would likely make another start at left tackle during Sunday's matchup versus the Panthers if Cross ends up being forced to miss a second straight game.

Rochell (ankle) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Rochell sustained an ankle injury during the Panthers' Week 16 win over the Buccaneers. The injury prevented him from returning to the game, but his lack of a designation for Wednesday's practice puts him on track to play against the Seahawks on Sunday. The fifth-year corner has served solely on special teams and has logged four tackles (two solo) over the Panthers' last three games.

Rhyan (knee) was a limited participant in Green Bay's walkthrough Wednesday.

Rhyan popped up on the team's injury report Wednesday, as he's currently dealing with a knee injury. While it's unclear when the 25-year-old got hurt, Jacob Monk would likely get the start at center Saturday versus the Ravens if Rhyan ends up being unable to play.

Dickerson (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Dickerson is battling through an illness, but he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills were he to practice fully by Friday.

Johnson (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Johnson has missed the Eagles' last five games due to a right Lisfranc sprain. He'll need to log a full practice by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Banks (neck) was a limited participant in Green Bay's walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Banks hasn't missed a game since the Week 4 tie versus the Cowboys before popping up on the injury report Wednesday. The 28-year-old's status in practice throughout the rest of the week will provide more clarity toward his availability for Saturday's matchup versus Baltimore.

Hill (wrist) did not practice Wednesday.

Hill likely picked up the injury during the Texans' Week 16 win over the Raiders, when he logged one solo tackle while serving on special teams. He has one more opportunity to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation against the Chargers on Saturday.

Tom (back/knee) didn't participate in Green Bay's walkthrough Wednesday.

Tom is still working through the knee and back injuries that forced him to miss the Week 16 loss versus the Bears. The 26-year-old will likely need to practice at some point this week in order to have a chance to suit up for Saturday's matchup versus the Ravens. However, Darian Kinnard would make a second straight start at right tackle if Tom ends up being unable to play.

Froholdt (elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Froholdt sustained a left elbow injury during the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the Falcons. He was cleared to return to that game, and while his practice reps were limited to open Week 17 prep, he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals if he were to log a full practice by Friday.
