Meyers brought in two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown and completed both his pass attempts for 12 yards and another score in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.

Meyers made a significant impact on just two touches, recording his seventh receiving touchdown of the season on a 22-yard grab late in the first quarter. He later added a three-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams to cap off the Raiders' opening drive of the second half after catching a wide receiver screen from Aidan O'Connell. Meyers now has reached the 60-catch mark for the third straight season, but it's worth noting his receiving score was only his second in the last seven games. Meyers draws a much tougher matchup in a Week 16 road battle against the Chiefs on Christmas Day.

Adams brought in eight of 12 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 63-21 win over the Chargers on Thursday night.

Adams led the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards and targets across the board in the completely unexpected offensive breakout from a team that had been shut out just four days earlier. The perennial Pro Bowl wideout contributed to the jaw-dropping point total with a three-yard scoring grab on a pass from Jakobi Meyers that capped the opening drive of the second half and served as Adams' fourth touchdown of the campaign. Adams' yardage total also qualified as his second highest of the campaign and second one over the century mark, affording him plenty of momentum going into a Week 16 divisional road showdown against the Chiefs on Christmas Day.

Skowronek (ankle/back) was a limited participant in practice Thursday for the second consecutive day, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

The depth wide receiver appears on track to play Sunday against the Commanders. Skowronek has six catches for 44 yards and a touchdown this season.

Philips (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The depth wide receiver also missed Wednesday's session. Philips played on three offensive snaps in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Dolphins and was a healthy inactive for the team's Week 13 loss to the Colts. The second-year pro has 13 catches for 166 yards in 2023.

Eskridge (ribs) practiced in limited fashion Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official sitereports.

Eskridge missed Seattle's last two games with a rib injury, though it's a positive sign he was able to practice in any capacity to begin the week. He'll have two more chances to upgrade his activity and clarify his status ahead of Monday's game against Philadelphia.

Adams (illness) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Chargers.

Adams approached the game listed as questionable after an illness led to him being deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, but now that his Week 15 availability has been confirmed, the wideout should be able to maintain his high-volume role in the Raiders' passing game. Through 13 games this season, Adams leads the team with a PPR-friendly 76 catches (on 128 targets) for 867 yards and four touchdowns.

Wilson (neck) was limited in practice Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Wilson's last appearance occurred in Week 10, and while his absences Weeks 11-13 were blamed on a shoulder injury, the Cardinals now are listing him with a neck issue after their Week 14 bye. He's managed back-to-back capped sessions so far this week and will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity before the team potentially gives him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Brown (heel) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown played through a heel injury in the Cardinals' previous two games, but he left the last one early Week 13 at Pittsburgh and wasn't able to return. Even with the benefit of a Week 14 bye, he didn't take part as the team reconvened for practice Wednesday, but his return to some drills one day later keeps the door ajar for him to be available Sunday against the 49ers. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Brown enters the weekend with an injury designation for Week 15 action.

Atwell (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

After entering the protocol for head injuries earlier this week, Atwell followed up an absence from Wednesday's jog-through with some activity one day later, indicating that he's making progress with his concussion. Still, he may have too many phases to pass through in order to make himself available Sunday against the Commanders. The Rams' final Week 15 practice report Friday could include a ruling on Atwell's upcoming availability.

Smith-Schuster (ankle) remained limited in practice Thursday.

Smith-Schuster also was limited Wednesday and presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. DeVante Parker (knee), Demario Douglas (concussion), Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) also were listed as limited Thursday, which potentially sets the stage for five New England wide receivers to draw Week 15 injury tags.
