Nabers was seen working off to the side at Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Nabers showed up on the Giants' injury report last Thursday as a limited participant in practice due to a groin injury, then didn't practice Friday due a hip flexor injury. He still was able to suit up for Sunday's loss to the Saints, playing 73 of 78 offensive snaps and hauling in five of 10 passes for 79 yards. Nabers appears as though he'll be a limited participant, at best, to kick off Week 15 prep, but Wednesday's practice report ultimately will reveal his activity level.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Brown (rib) is "going to be out for a while" with a "significant internal injury," Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Brown left early in the Commanders' Week 13 win over the Titans with what had been listed as a rib injury, and after undergoing further testing over the team's Week 14 bye, the wideout is apparently dealing with a more severe issue than anticipated. Quinn didn't go into specifics regarding Brown's injury, though the coach noted that the 28-year-old receiver likely will be lost for the season, pending further evaluation. If that's the case, Brown's eighth professional campaign will come to an end with him having recorded 35 receptions for 453 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets over 11 games. In Brown's absence, more snaps could be available for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luke McCaffrey behind top wideout Terry McLaurin.

Iosivas played 48 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and recorded four receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

While Iosivas outproduced No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins (2-23-0 line on five targets), both players took back seats in the passing game to Ja'Marr Chase (14-177-2 on 18 targets) and Chase Brown (6-65-1 on eight targets). Brown's passing-game role may be more volatile from week to week, but Chase is the Bengals' clear No. 1 option, and Higgins' poor showing in Week 14 looks to be more of an outlier performance. Even in a prolific passing attack, Iosivas doesn't look like he'll be able to carve out consistent enough volume to make for an appealing fantasy option in any given week.

Burton played nine of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and went without a target in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Burton went without a target for the second game in a row and also saw his playing time on special teams take a hit. After returning five kickoffs for 46 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Steelers, Burton ceded kickoff-return duties to Khalil Herbert on Monday.

Coleman (wrist) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Coleman, who last played Week 9, was limited at practice last week, so his looming full participation Wednesday -- albeit in a walk-through session -- bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Lions. Assuming he experiences no setback as the week rolls along, the rookie second-round pick will have a chance to reclaim a role in a Buffalo wideout corps that also includes Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel.

The Jets announced Wednesday that Charles (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL injury during the team's Week 14 loss to the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Charles figures to be placed on IR in short order. A key special-teams contributor, the timing of Davis' knee injury is particularly unfortunate, as he now faces the difficult task of attempting to rehab in time for the start of the 2025 campaign.

Downs (shoulder) is slated to practice Wednesday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

Downs -- who suffered a right shoulder injury in the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Lions -- missed a Week 13 win over the Patriots, but following the team's Week 14 bye, the wideout has progressed to the point that he'll work in some capacity Wednesday. The Colts' first Week 15 injury report will be released later Wednesday and will reveal whether Downs was a limited or full participant to kick off the team's prep for Sunday's game in Denver.

Whittington (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday.

Whittington also missed Monday's practice session due to his shoulder injury. The rookie sixth-round pick hasn't logged a target in any of his last six appearances, but he has played a notable role as a kick returner. Wednesday's final practice report of Week 15 will reveal whether Whittington has a chance of suiting up for Thursday's game against the 49ers.

Johnson played five of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense and finished with a six-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

Johnson's reception -- his first of the season -- came on the Bears' final drive of the game, when interim head coach Thomas had already subbed out most of Chicago's key players amid the blowout. The 27-year-old remains buried on the depth chart at receiver and will likely play most of his snaps on special teams while Chicago has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze available.

Thompkins played 11 of the Panthers' 71 snaps on offense and hauled in his lone target for a seven-yard reception in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

Thompkins also contributed in the return game for the first time all season, bringing back two kickoffs for 46 yards and one punt for 15 yards. The increased involvement on special teams came after Raheem Blackshear (chest) exited early with an injury that could affect his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but the Panthers could choose to use the newly signed Velus Jones as their return man over Thompkins if Blackshear isn't available. Meanwhile, Thompkins' role on offense will likely remain muted with fellow receivers Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker (quadricep) and David Moore comfortably ahead of him on the depth chart.
