  • Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Opens week as DNP

    Olszewski (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

    Olszewski suffered a concussion in Week 13 against New England after taking a big helmet-to-helmet hit on a kick return. Despite New York being on bye last week, the return specialist hasn't yet reached the point that he's ready to practice. Olszewski will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he's able to return to game action, and if he can't play this Sunday versus the Commanders, Devin Singletary, Eric Gray and Jalin Hyatt are candidates to cover his role in the return game.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Tending to Achilles injury

    Addison was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Since making his season debut Week 4 following a three-game suspension to begin the campaign, Addison was on point with an 18-283-1 line on 26 targets in his first three appearances. Since then uneven QB play for the Vikings has impacted all members of the offense, with Addison managing just a 19-227-2 line on 44 targets over the last 10 contests. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of missing Sunday's road matchup with the Cowboys.

  • Beaux Collins WR | NYG

    Giants' Beaux Collins: Returns to practice Wednesday

    The Giants designated Collins (neck) to return to practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports, and Collins was a full participant in his return, per Matt Citak of the Giants' official site.

    Collins suffered a neck injury against the 49ers in Week 9. He was ultimately placed on injured reserve Nov. 8 and has since missed the required four games. With an additional week to recover during New York's Week 14 bye, Collins now appears to be back to full health. He may be able to suit up and log a depth wideout role against Washington this Sunday, but the Giants would first need to activate him by Saturday afternoon.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Remains limited at practice

    Jones (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Jones has been bothered by a shoulder injury since getting hurt Week 9 at Detroit, but he's suited up for each of the Vikings' ensuing five contests, totaling 67 touches for 308 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. Meanwhile, No. 2 RB Jordan Mason has turned 37 touches into 218 total yards and two rushing TDs during that same span. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Jones enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.

  • Packers' Savion Williams: Limited in practice

    Williams (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Williams missed the past two games, and he probably wouldn't get much playing time even if he were healthy now that the Packers have all of their veteran wideouts available.

  • Packers' MarShawn Lloyd: Remains limited in practice

    Lloyd (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Lloyd has been a limited participant in each practice since the Packers designated him to return from injured reserve last week. He won't necessarily contribute this season even if deemed healthy enough to do so, as Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks appear to be trusted with backup roles behind Josh Jacobs.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Limited in practice

    Reed (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    It's interesting to see Reed listed with only a shoulder injury considering he dealt with a Jones fracture in his foot earlier this season (in addition to a broken collarbone). In any case, he returned from an absence of nearly three months to handle a 48 percent offensive snap share and a 65 percent route share during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reed finished with four catches for 31 yards and two carries for 22 yards, essentially returning to his full pre-injury role.

  • Darius Muasau LB | NYG

    Giants' Darius Muasau: Logs full practice

    Muasau (ankle), who remains on IR, was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

    Muasau had his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday and is already participating in full, which seemly gives him a realistic chance to be activated from IR in time for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Commanders. Once back in action, Muasau will stand to bump Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles down the depth chart at inside linebacker.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Limited due to wrist

    Golden (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Golden returned from a two-game absence to play just 10 percent of Green Bay's snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 win over the Bears. Reports have suggested that Golden and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) might have played more if they'd been healthy, but it also seems like Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed are the top three on the depth chart.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Bothered by ankle

    Wicks (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Wicks was listed with an ankle injury last week but didn't have a designation for Sunday's eventual win over Chicago. He played just 10 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps in the contest -- one week after scoring a pair of TDs against the Lions -- but that was partially a product of Jayden Reed returning from injured reserve. It is possible that Wicks would've played more without the ankle injury but probably not enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
