Godwin (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Godwin will remain a spectator for practice for the second day in a row while he tends to the knee injury that he apparently sustained at some point in this past Sunday's 29-25 win over Atlanta, even though it seemingly didn't affect his snap count. The wideout will look to get back on the field in some capacity Friday, but if he remains anything other than a full participant for that practice session, he'll likely receive an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay.

Adams (illness) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Thursday against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Adams is carrying an injury designation into the Week 15 contest after an illness prevented him from participating in Wednesday's walk-through session, but whatever ailment the receiver is battling doesn't seem to be anything that will keep him off the field Thursday. Official confirmation on Adams' availability will arrive approximately 90 minutes before the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, when Las Vegas will release its inactive list. Raiders interim coach Antonio Pierce has been non-committal on a starting quarterback for Thursday, but the expectation is that Adams will be working with rookie Aidan O'Connell for the sixth game in a row.

Brownlee (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Brownlee injured his left ankle in the Jets' Week 13 loss to the Falcons and wasn't able to play in Sunday's win over Houston. His inability to practice Wednesday doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up this Sunday in Miami, though he'll have two more practice sessions this week to attempt to prove his health. Brownlee had seen his opportunities trend up prior to getting hurt, and he logged a season-high 98 percent snap share while grabbing both of his targets for 20 yards in a Week 12 loss to Miami.

Philips (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The second-year receiver missed time earlier in the season with a knee injury and has also dealt with shoulder issues in 2023. He was a healthy inactive for the Week 13 loss to the Colts before playing just three offensive snaps in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins. Philips has 13 catches for 166 scoreless yards on 19 targets this season.

Skowronek (ankle/back) was listed as a limited participant Wednesday on the Rams' estimated practice report.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Skowronek could be held out of the first practice session of the week due to ankle and back issues, so his status as an estimated limited participant Wednesday is a promising sign heading into Week 15. However, the team held a "jog-through" Wednesday, thus Thursday's practice report may provide more insight into the wide receiver's health. Fantasy managers probably aren't keeping much of an eye on Skowronek's status for Sunday against Washington since he's tallied only six catches on 10 targets for 44 yards and one touchdown over 13 games this season.

Boutte (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Boutte was forced to miss the team's Week 14 win over the Steelers last Thursday, but his ability to take part in the Patriots' first Week 15 practice is a positive sign. The wide receiver will look to increase his activity Thursday and Friday before the Patriots decide whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.

Brown (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Brown logged 37 of 56 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 30-6 loss to the Jets, but he failed to haul in any of his five targets in the contest. The wideout put up excellent numbers in Weeks 9 (6-153-1 receiving line) and 10 (7-172-0 line), but his recent output (two straight zero-catch efforts) following his return from a two-game absence makes him a volatile fantasy option this weekend against Tennessee.

Wilson (neck) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

In the wake of the Cardinals' Week 14 bye, Wilson got back on the field with a capped session to begin Week 15 prep and will have two more chances to get back to full activity before week's end. While his absences before the bye were attributed to a shoulder injury, he's now being listed with a neck issue. Fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) didn't take part in drills Wednesday, so Wilson could find himself a bigger part of Arizona's offense Sunday against the 49ers if he's able to return to action and if the former is limited or sidelined.

Atwell (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Atwell entered the concussion protocol in the wake of this past Sunday's loss at Baltimore, and his inability to take part in Wednesday's jog-through session may put him on the outside looking in to passing all five phases of the protocol in order to play Sunday against the Commanders. Nonetheless, he'll have two more chances this week to put himself on a potential path to active status for Week 15.

Adams missed Wednesday's practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Adams previously wasn't listed on the Week 15 injury report, so he may have first started feeling ill either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. With limited information on Adams' situation, fantasy managers should track his status carefully before inserting him into lineups this week. It's also unclear if Aidan O'Connell or Jimmy Garoppolo will be the starting quarterback for Las Vegas on Thursday.
