Goodwin practiced on a limited basis Wednesday while managing wrist and ankle injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

With Tyler Lockett out for at least Week 16 after having finger surgery Monday, Goodwin had been poised to climb the pecking order at wide receiver for the Seahawks in the short term. However, his downgrade in activity Wednesday has at least temporarily thrown a wrench into those plans. In any case, Goodwin will have Thursday's practice to get back to full participation ahead of Saturday's contest in Kansas City.

Meyers (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Meyers moved past a concussion to suit up for this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders, logging a 62 percent snap share while catching two of his six targets for 47 yards. A shoulder issue has limited him at practice this week, but he's still likely to suit up this Saturday against the Bengals, though there's a chance he carries a questionable designation into the contest.

Johnson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Johnson caught 10 passes for a season-high 98 yards in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Panthers, but he came out of the game dealing with turf toe and now appears uncertain for Saturday's matchup with the Raiders. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he expected Johnson to play against Las Vegas, and a return to practice Thursday would put the veteran wideout on track to make good on Tomlin's prediction.

Thornton was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee issue.

Thornton wasn't listed on Tuesday's estimated practice report, so his limitations Wednesday are worth noting. The Patriots' final injury report of the week will be issued Thursday and will reveal whether or not the rookie wideout approaches Saturday's game against the Bengals with an injury designation.

Moore (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Thursday's injury report will reveal whether Moore approaches Saturday's game against the Titans with an injury designation or if he's cleared to play. If available this weekend, Moore should continue to see his share of looks in Week 16 alongside Brandin Cooks (calf), who appears on track to put an end to a three-game absence after he practiced fully Wednesday. Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout Nico Collins (foot) missed another practice Wednesday and looks to be trending toward missing his third straight contest.

Higgins (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Listed as a limited participant the day before, Higgins now appears locked in for Saturday's game in New England, though his hamstring injury has already caused a few anxious moments for fantasy managers this month. He played 80 percent of offensive snaps in this past Sunday's 34-23 win over Tampa Bay, catching five of eight targets for 33 yards and a touchdown.

Dortch was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Since sitting out Week 12 with a thumb injury, Dortch used the Cardinals' Week 13 bye to get healthy, but his usage has sunk to little more than special-teams work over the last two games. As such, his 10 targets from Week 11 appear to be an aberration, as his 10 offensive snaps from the past two outings haven't yielded any looks in the passing game. If he's able to suit up and eventually get some plays on offense Sunday against the Buccaneers, any passes that come to Dortch will be from Trace McSorley, who is getting the start under center with Kyler Murray on injured reserve due to a torn ACL and with Colt McCoy unavailable due to a concussion.

Davis (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Davis apparently has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after the Jets listed him as a full participant for walk-through practices Tuesday and Wednesday. He didn't have a chance to actually practice with the Jets on a short week, but he should see plenty of snaps nonetheless with backup wideouts Denzel Mims (concussion) and Jeff Smith (knee) both ruled out.

Cooks (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

He's thus on track to play for the first time since Week 12 when the Texans face the Titans on Saturday. Cooks could jump right back in as the top target for Davis Mills, especially with Nico Collins (foot) missing another practice Wednesday and Phillip Dorsett coming off a zero-catch, one-target showing on 54 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Chris Moore (foot) has emerged as the top target of late, getting more snaps on the perimeter the past three weeks after being largely slot-based for most of the season.

Brown (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

One day removed from being listed as limited on the Cowboys' first Week 16 injury report due to a foot issue, Brown maintained that activity level Wednesday. He'll have one more chance to get back to full participation Thursday, at which point the team may clarify his availability ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Eagles. Brown has put together two straight productive outings, amounting to 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
