Wicks (concussion/knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Wicks is now in the league's concussion protocol and will need to clear it in order to be eligible to return to action. Because it's likely that the rookie fifth-round pick won't be cleared in time for Thursday's game versus Detroit, Malik Heath and Samori Toure could be in line for increased roles.

Palmer brought in four of six targets for 22 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also recorded a six-yard rush on his only carry.

Palmer's reception total was a new personal best for the rookie, but he was under 25 receiving yards for the second straight game. The speedster continues to enjoy a steady complementary role behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin -- he's logged at least four targets in five of his last six games, including four straight -- but Palmer has yet to exceed 51 yards in any of the first 10 contests of his pro career.

Coach Sean McVay said Skowronek "got a hip pointer" during Sunday's win over the Seahawks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

The wide receiver played on nine offensive snaps but was not targeted Sunday. Skowronek has three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown in 2023.

Bobo (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The injury report was an "estimation of participation" since Seattle didn't practice Monday, per Boyle. Bobo played on 24 offensive snaps in the Seahawks' Week 11 loss to the Rams and caught one pass for eight yards. The wide receiver has 13 catches for 156 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Lockett (hamstring) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As he has for six weeks in a row now, Lockett is dealing with a hamstring injury as the Seahawks prep for a game. Last week, he didn't practice at all but was able to suit up Sunday at the Rams, gathering in five of seven targets for 51 yards while playing a season-low 57 percent of his team's offensive snaps. Seattle likely will take it easy on Lockett this week, too, and Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not he has an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest versus the 49ers.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's win against the Seahawks, and the severity of the issue isn't known, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

McVay termed fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp "day-to-day" due to the low right-ankle sprain that he sustained Sunday, per Beachum. To make matters worse for the Rams' passing game, Nacua also is tending to a health concern in the wake of the contest. He's been able to play through injuries to his oblique and knee this season and still produce on game day, as evidenced by his 69-897-3 line on 103 targets in 10 contests to begin his career. No matter, the statuses of Nacua and Kupp will need to be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of their odds of suiting up this coming Sunday at Arizona.

James (knee) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Eagles.

Though James -- who last suited up Week 2 -- was activated from injured reserve Saturday, he was listed as questionable for Monday's contest. James' next chance to suit up will arrive this coming Sunday against the Raiders, and if he's available for Week 12 action, he'd provide the Chiefs with added wideout depth as well as another option in the return game.

Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp (ankle) has a chance to play in Sunday's game at Arizona, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

Kupp departed in the second quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Seahawks and eventually was diagnosed with a low right-ankle sprain. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Monday that Kupp was considered day-to-day, wording that was mimicked by McVay. There's a high likelihood that Kupp will operate with practice restrictions this week, with his listing on Friday's injury report telling for his potential to suit up Week 12.

The Packers listed Watson (shoulder) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Following Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers, the Packers didn't hold an official practice Monday for what marked the first day of prep leading up to a Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit for Week 12. Watson appeared on last week's injury report with the same listed shoulder issue, but he entered the game against the Chargers without a designation and proceeded to play 56 of 72 offensive snaps en route to finishing with two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown on four targets. With no reported setbacks during the game, Watson's listed limitations Monday were likely just maintenance related.

Kupp is considered day-to-day after suffering a right low-ankle sprain in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kupp has a history of ankle issues, but his reported diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain has to be considered good news in the grand scheme of things. He was injured early in the Week 11 win and was unable to return to the contest, despite being spotted on the sideline in uniform testing out the ankle. The Rams will exercise caution this week in determining Kupp's status for next Sunday's game in Arizona, but the wideout looks to have a realistic shot at playing.
