  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Remains sidelined at practice

    Odunze (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Odunze hasn't been able to practice in any capacity since Dec. 12 as he tends to a stress fracture in his foot. He's missed the last three games as a result and appears in danger of stretching it to four absences, unless he's able to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday. Fellow WR Luther Burden (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, so the Bears may get back at least one of their key pass catchers for Sunday's contest at San Francisco.

  • Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Eskridge (toe) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Eskridge sustained a toe injury during the Dolphins' Week 16 loss to the Bengals, which prevented him from returning to the game. The fifth-year wideout will have two more opportunities to log at least a limited practice heading into Sunday's Sunshine State clash against the Buccaneers.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: Estimated as DNP on Wednesday

    Gould (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

    Gould has missed the Colts' last two games due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 14 against the Jaguars. He has two more chances to return to practice and give himself a chance to play in Sunday's AFC South rematch against Jacksonville. Ameer Abdullah and Tyler Goodson (ankle) would likely continue to handle return duties on kickoffs and punts if Gould is unable to play Week 17.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Limited Wednesday

    Godwin (fibula) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

    Godwin has been dealing with the residual effects of a fibula injury since Week 5, but since his return to action Week 12, he's been able to suit up for each of the Buccaneers' last five games, accumulating a 19-192-1 line on 28 targets during that stretch. His limitations Wednesday likely are related to maintenance, and he'll have two more chances to get back to full before Sunday's contest at Miami.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Not practicing Wednesday

    Boutte (concussion) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Tuesday that Boutte is in the NFL's concussion protocol, with the wideout's absence Wednesday now giving him two more chances to make a practice appearance before the Patriots' Week 17 injury designations are revealed. If Boutte isn't cleared for Sunday's game against the Jets, fellow WR Kyle Williams would be in line for added snaps.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Good to go for Thursday

    Turpin (shoulder) does not have an injury designation for Thursday's Christmas Day matchup against Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Turpin has managed a shoulder injury this week and was listed as limited Monday and Tuesday. However, he was deemed a full participant for Wednesday's practice walkthrough and wasn't given a designation for Thursday's contest. As such, Turpin should serve in his usual role as the Cowboys' lead kick/punt returner versus the Commanders. He could also see more work as a wideout if Ryan Flournoy (knee, questionable) is unable to suit up.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Questionable for Thursday

    Flournoy (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Flournoy wasn't able to return to this past Sunday's game against the Chargers following a hit on which opposing linebacker Denzel Perryman was penalized for unnecessary roughness. The wide receiver was diagnosed with a sprained right knee afterward, and he followed an LP/DNP/DNP practice regimen since then, indicating that he may be more likely to sit out Week 17 than suit up. Ultimately, Flournoy's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Raiders' Shedrick Jackson: Signed to active roster

    The Raiders signed Jackson from their practice squad to their active roster Wednesday.

    Jackson had already been elevated from the practice squad three times, so this move was necessary in order for him to suit up for the Raiders again this season. In his three contests with the club, the Auburn product has logged nine offensive snaps and caught his only target for a 25-yard touchdown. For the final two games of the campaign, Jackson should serve as a depth wideout and contribute on special teams.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Set to return to practice

    The Colts designated Dulin (hamstring) for return from IR on Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Dulin landed on injured reserve Nov. 25 due to a hamstring injury. He's since missed the required four games and, with his designation to return, is eligible to be activated at any time. Indianapolis has 21 days to decide whether to activate Dulin, but he could play as soon as this Sunday against the Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, he had a minor role in the passing game and was also serving as one of the team's top kick returners.

  • Brandon Johnson: Returning to Pittsburgh

    The Steelers are signing Johnson to their practice squad, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Johnson most recently had been on Tampa Bay's practice squad before being cut Dec. 15. He's familiar with the Steelers organization, having been with the team last year and playing in three games, catching his only target for nine yards. Johnson's signing comes in the wake of DK Metcalf being suspended by the NFL for two games following an altercation with a fan this past Sunday. Johnson will provide organizational depth at wideout but isn't likely to garner a major role on game days.
