  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Returns to field

    Turpin (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Turpin was unable to practice last week and ultimately sat out the team's win over the Giants on Sunday. The 27-year-old has now put that injury behind him with a return to full participation and should be ready to take the field Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Tending to ankle issue

    Raymond was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

    More often than not this season, Raymond's weekly snap share has resided between 20 and 40 percent, having surpassed the latter just two times in a nine games. His two catches (on four targets) for 46 yards during this past Sunday's win at the Chargers was one of his better tallies on the campaign, but now that he's dealing with a health concern, his status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

  • Jaguars' Parker Washington: Returns to practice

    Washington (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Washington was designated to return from IR earlier Wednesday, so a slow start for his first practice was likely expected. However, he'll probably need to ramp up his activity Thursday and Friday to suit up Sunday against the Titans.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: No practice limitations

    Waddle (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Waddle has dealt with a few different injuries this season -- including a knee issue that caused him to miss part of the Week 9 loss to Kansas City -- but he said Monday that he's feeling much better after a Week 10 bye. He'll be out there Sunday against the Raiders and shouldn't have any workload limitations.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Officially limited Wednesday

    Jefferson (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

    According to Alec Lewis of The Athletic, head coach Kevin O'Connell asserted earlier Wednesday that Jefferson was in line to increase his practice workload this week, but the wide receiver maintained his listed activity level from Week 10 prep. He's entered his second week of a 21-day window in which to be activated from injured reserve, but as O'Connell noted Wednesday, the Vikings remain in the evaluation phase as it pertains to Jefferson's return to action. Jefferson thus will use Thursday and Friday to put himself on a potential path to be activated and thus available Sunday at Denver.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Dealing with quad issue

    Evans was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a quadricep injury.

    Since late August, Evans has dealt with two different lower-body injuries, first to his groin prior to Week 1 prep before he suffered a hamstring issue Week 4. His availability for game days hasn't been affected, though, and he continues to put up massive numbers working with a new quarterback in Baker Mayfield. Overall, Evans is on pace for a 10th consecutive 1,000-yard season, considering he has 737 yards through nine contests. In the end, his practice reps will need to be monitored this week to make sure he isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday at San Francisco.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Dealing with thumb issue

    Johnson didn't practice Wednesday due to a thumb injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Johnson played 53 snaps on offense and caught one of his four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Packers, but he may have emerged from the game with the thumb injury. With an absence from practice to begin Week 11 prep, Johnson's status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If the wideout ends up out this weekend, Calvin Austin and Allen Robinson could step into expanded roles alongside George Pickens.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Will be limited Wednesday

    Head coach Sean McVay said Nacua (knee) will be a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    McVay added that Nacua's reps are being capped as a precaution due to the swollen knee that has bothered him since the Rams' Week 8 loss in Dallas. Since then, he suited up for a Week 9 loss at Green Bay, where he gathered in three of seven targets for 32 yards, before using the team's Week 10 bye to rest up. Still, the aforementioned health concern continues to affect Nacua, so his status will be one to watch closely as this Sunday's game against the Seahawks draws closer.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Listed as limited Wednesday

    Wilson was listed as limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to an elbow injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    The Jets conducted a walk-through session Wednesday, so what Wilson does Thursday in a standard practice should provide added clarity with regard to his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. In a 16-12 loss to the Raiders in Week 10, Wilson was a bright spot for the New York offense, hauling in nine of his team-high 14 targets for 93 yards.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Jaguars' Zay Jones: Listed as limited Wednesday

    Jones (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Jones missed six of the Jaguars' last seven games due to a knee injury before he was arrested Monday for a misdemeanor domestic battery charge. His status for Sunday's game against the Titans is unclear and he may also miss more time beyond Week 11, be it due to the injury or his recent arrest.
