Tillman was diagnosed with a concussion during Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Tillman exited the game late in the third quarter and was evaluated for a head injury. He will have 11 days to clear concussion protocol, as the Browns won't play until Monday night in a Week 13 matchup against the Broncos.

Tillman is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Steelers due to a head injury, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Tillman took a hard hit late in the third quarter, which was presumably when he suffered the injury. The exact diagnosis is unclear at this time. Prior to his exit, Tillman recorded two receptions on four targets for 28 yards and also lost a fumble.

Jefferson (quadriceps) returned to Thursday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Jefferson was forced out of the game after taking a hit to his quad and aggravating an injury that he had contended with heading into Week 11. He returned in the second half to record a long 35-yard reception midway through the third quarter.

Jefferson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Browns due to a quad injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Jefferson dealt with the same issue prior to Week 11 but was ultimately able to suit up. He took a hit late in the first quarter of Thursday's game that seemed to aggravate the issue, and it's now unclear if he'll retake the field.

Cowing (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday.

The punt returner and wide receiver was a limited participant Wednesday after suffering the concussion during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks. Cowing's status is moving in the wrong direction as this week's showdown with the Packers approaches. Ronnie Bell might be in line to return punts if Cowing misses Week 12.

Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against Cleveland.

Miller played eight snaps (seven on offense, one on special teams) during the Steelers' 18-16 win over the Ravens this past Sunday, but he did not register a stat in that contest. He'll be a healthy inactive for Thursday's game, and his next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Agholor (illness) did not practice Thursday.

An illness prevented Agholor from participating in Thursday's session, but he'll have two more chances to practice and avoid an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers. Agholor failed to haul in his lone target during the Ravens' Week 11 loss to the Steelers, and through 11 regular-season games he's logged 13 catches (on 26 targets) for 205 yards and two touchdowns.

Ridley (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Ridley was held out of the Titans' first Week 12 practice due to the illness, but he felt well enough to take every rep in practice a day later to clear up most of the concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Texans. After being contained for just three catches over a three-game stretch from Weeks 3 through 6, Ridley has been a more reliable contributor for fantasy managers over the ensuing five weeks, producing a 27-400-2 receiving line on 47 targets during that stretch.

Cooks (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Cooks followed up Wednesday's capped walkthrough with another limited listing one day later. The Cowboys designated him for return from injured reserve Tuesday, and he's seeking his first game action since Week 4 after developing an infection in his right knee from a minor surgery. With CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) going from limited to no activity in the first two days of Week 12 prep, Cooks could be in line for a bigger role in the Dallas passing game if the team opts to activate him in advance of Sunday's contest in Washington.

McConkey (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

McConkey was on the field for 73 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense during the team's Week 11 win over the Bengals en route to catching six of his nine targets for 123 yards. However, now that he's listed as having a shoulder issue, the wideout's status is worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Ravens approaches. Look for added context regarding McConkey's Week 12 playing prospects to arrive via his participation level in Friday's practice.
