Williams (tibia) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Williams was unable to play in the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals due to a tibia injury, but his estimated ability to practice in full in Wednesday's walkthrough puts him on track to return against the Lions on Sunday. Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace will likely see their defensive snaps cut, assuming Williams is cleared to play Week 15.

Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in New England's practice Wednesday.

Wilson is healthy again after sitting out the team's Week 13 win over the Giants due to a high ankle sprain. The rookie third-round pick should return to his role as the team's starting left guard in Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo.

Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Young has been able to play through a knee injury during the Rams' last two games, so he should be available to play Sunday against the Lions barring a setback. The third-year edge rusher has tallied 12 tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, over his last two games.

Anderson (knee) was placed on the reserve/injured list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Anderson has appeared in nine games for the Steelers this season, but he suffered a knee injury in Week 13 that could cost him the rest of his season. He won't be eligible to be activated until the postseason, if Pittsburgh qualifies.

Tuttle (concussion) was a full participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday.

Tuttle has been sidelined for the past two weeks with a concussion but is now closer to returning. However, the 30-year-old will still have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's game versus the 49ers.

Jackson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Jackson continues to work through a neck issue that has sidelined him for the Vikings' last two games. He would be on track to return against the Cowboys on Sunday if he were to practice in full over the next two days. Jackson's return would lead to less defensive snaps being available for Fabian Moreau and Jay Ward.

Fant (knee) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Fant missed Washington's Week 14 matchup against the Vikings with a knee injury, but it appears he's made a quick recovery. He should return to a depth tackle role in Sunday's game against the Giants.

Metellus (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Metellus played every single defensive snap during the Vikings' Week 14 win over the Commanders, but he appears to have picked up a shoulder injury in the process. His ability to practice Wednesday indicates that the injury isn't considered serious, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Cowboys.

Ezeudu (calf) was a full participant in the Giants' practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

Ezeudu has been sidelined all season due to a calf injury but appears closer to making his return. The team will still have to activate the 26-year-old off injured reserve before he's eligible to play. Once healthy, Ezeudu should provide additional depth at offensive tackle.

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

Chandler continues to progress in his recovery from a knee injury that he sustained in the Vikings' regular-season opener against the Bears. He would have to be activated from injured reserve in order to play Sunday against the Cowboys, and if he is cleared to play, he would serve as the Vikings' RB3 behind Aaron Jones (shoulder) and Jordan Mason.
