Hodgins (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Hodgins didn't do much during the Giants' walk-through practice Tuesday and remained limited Wednesday due to an ankle injury he presumably suffered during the team's wild-card win over Minnesota this past weekend. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but as of now, Hodgins doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Philadelphia. The Oregon State product topped the century mark in the postseason opener, finishing with eight receptions on nine targets for 105 yards and a score, and he has quickly turned into Daniel Jones' top pass catcher. Over the Giants' past six games, Hodgins has totaled 33 catches on 42 targets for 355 yards and five scores.

Miller didn't log a target over six snaps from scrimmage during the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 23 receptions (40 targets) for 185 yards and no touchdowns and one rush attempt for eight yards across 15 games.

The end to Miller's season -- and likely finish to his Buccaneers tenure as well -- was fittingly quiet. Factoring in Monday's blanking, the fourth-year speedster recorded just two receptions for 15 yards on six targets over his final eight games. Miller was also inactive for two games during the campaign, and as an unrestricted free agent, it appears he's likely headed elsewhere in 2023.

Jennings (ankle) will be a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Jennings tweaked his ankle during the 49ers' wild-card win over Seattle this past weekend and was deemed day-to-day by head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but it's a positive sign to see him at least get some work in during Wednesday's practice. Jennings will have two more opportunities to log a full session before San Francisco needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's wild-card matchup against Dallas.

Shakir played 30 of the Bills' 72 snaps on offense and recorded three receptions for 51 yards on five targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Shakir's 42 percent offensive snap share was his largest since Week 12, as he and Cole Beasley (30 snaps) split the No. 3 receiver role in the postseason opener while Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring) was sidelined. Though Shakir and Beasley combined for a solid five catches for 86 yards and a touchdown across 10 targets, both players could seen downsized roles in Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Bengals with McKenzie seemingly on track to return to the lineup. Jamison Crowder (ankle) also resumed practicing last week and could be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game, adding more potential competition to the Buffalo receiver room.

Beasley brought in two of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 wild-card victory over the Dolphins.

Making his third appearance for Buffalo since ending his brief retirement and joining the Bills' practice squad, Beasley saw his largest role to date in the postseason opener. Beasley and Khalil Shakir both played exactly 30 of the Bills' 72 offensive snaps, with the two wideouts splitting the No. 3 receiver role in place of Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring), who was inactive for the contest. Though Beasley had a costly drop in the contest in which the ball bounced off his chest and into the waiting arms of a Miami defender for an interception, the 33-year-old made up for it by scoring a go-ahead six-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Beasley may not have an opportunity to build on the performance in Sunday's divisional-round game against the Bengals, as McKenzie appears on track to play and could reclaim the No. 3 wideout role.

McKenzie (hamstring) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice and said he'll be good to go for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Cincinnati, Thad Brown of News 8 Rochester reports.

McKenzie was inactive for the Bills' wild-card win over Miami due to a hamstring injury. However, per Brown, the slot wideout said he's about 90 percent healthy, despite not taking part in any running during Wednesday's practice because it was a walk-through workout. Barring any setbacks, McKenzie will resume his duties as Buffalo's top slot option, which would likely mean less playing time for Khalil Shakir and Cole Beasley. Across 15 regular-season appearances, McKenzie caught 42 of 65 targets for 423 yards and four scores. He also rushed nine times for 55 yards and an additional score.

Thompkins returned three kickoffs for 58 yards, ran back three punts for 34 yards and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay in the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the regular season with five receptions (10 targets) for 32 yards, two rushes for 26 yards, 263 kick-return yards and 61 punt-return yards across five games.

The undrafted rookie didn't garner active status until Week 14 against the 49ers, and he had his busiest day by far in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Falcons when he brought in four of nine targets for 25 yards, rushed once for 17 yards and generated 36 total return yards. Thompkins was notably kept in the organizational ranks over 2021 fourth-round pick Jaelon Darden, who was released after the Week 13 win over the Saints, and he could therefore have a legitimate chance to compete for a spot on the latter portion of the wide receiver depth chart in training camp with Julio Jones, Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman all unlikely to return.

Agnew (shoulder) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.

Agnew was deemed active for the wild-card win over the Chargers despite being limited at each practice ahead of the game, so barring a setback, the All-Pro returner should be available for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. However, his official status likely won't be known until later in the week.

Pryor (shoulder) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice.

Pryor is still dealing with a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the Jaguars' wild-card win over the Chargers, but he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Jacksonville needs to make a decision on his status for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Kansas City. However, Pryor didn't see the field at all during the regular season, so even if he is healthy, it seems unlikely he'll be added to the mix in the playoffs.

Moore (hand) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Moore sat out Kansas City's regular-season finale against the Raiders on Jan. 7 due to a laceration on his right hand, but he looks to be feeling fine coming out of the team's bye week during the opening round of the postseason. Kansas City could remain without Mecole Hardman (pelvis) for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Jaguars, but Hardman's absence didn't open up extensive work for the rookie in Week 17 against the Broncos. Moore recorded three catches for 33 yards on four targets in that contest but played just 26 percent of Kansas City's snaps on offense.
