Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Parker, who was inactive for New England's Week 15 loss to Las Vegas due to the concussion, was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The wideout now has one more chance to get in some work ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals, but at this point, Parker's status for the contest appears cloudy.

Collins (foot) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Collins, who was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, has one more chance to get in a session before the Texans' Week 16 injury report is submitted. At this stage of the week, the wideout looks to be trending toward a third straight absence Saturday against the Titans.

Duvernay sustained a broken foot during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though the Ravens placed Duvernay on injured reserve Tuesday, the exact nature of his injury wasn't revealed. With Duvernay having now been diagnosed with the fractured foot, he'll face a recovery timetable of approximately two months, which rules him out from returning during the postseason even if Baltimore clinches a spot and makes a deep run. With Duvernay sidelined, Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson, Sammy Watkins and James Proche are candidates to see increased roles in Baltimore's passing game.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledged Tuesday that the odds of the team signing Beckham (knee) this season are decreasing, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. "The reality is though that time is moving on down the road relative to playing in the playoffs and so every day diminishes our chances of going forward [with Beckham]," Jones said during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan Dallas.

Just one week earlier, Jones told reporters to "stand by" on the possibility of Dallas bringing Beckham aboard, even though the receiver has said that he would prefer not to play until the postseason. Archer relays that the Cowboys had been open to the idea of signing Beckham and then placing him on injured reserve, in which case the wideout would have to miss the final three games of the regular season as well as Dallas' playoff opener before making his team debut in the divisional round, assuming he was in a good spot in his recovery from the left knee he underwent last February. However, Jones now seems more pessimistic about signing Beckham, who could opt to take his free agency into the offseason now that most interested parties have seemingly come to the conclusion that the receiver won't be fully ramped up for a few more weeks.

Bell (toe) is on track to play Saturday against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Bell, who missed the Browns' Week 15 win over the Ravens, was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report. The Browns are apparently optimistic that Bell will increase his practice activity as the week rolls along, with Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal relaying that head coach Kevin Stefanski "sounded confident" about the receiver's availability for Saturday. Bell has been a steady, if unspectacular, contributor over his first 13 NFL games, catching 23 of 31 targets for 196 yards and zero touchdowns.

Gray (hamstring) practiced fully Tuesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Gray sustained an apparent hamstring injury during last Thursday's win over Seattle, but his ability to partake in Tuesday's session without limitations implies that the rookie third-rounder should be good to go for this weekend's matchup against the Commanders. Gray will likely handle a rotational pass-catching role behind Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Ray-Ray McCloud in Week 16.

The Chargers signed Moore to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Moore started the season on the Chargers' practice squad before being added to the active roster in late September. While he was added to help fill in for the team's depleted receiving corps, the 27-year-old ultimately logged just two targets across six appearances. Barring further injuries to the Bolts' wideouts, Moore will likely finish out the 2022 campaign on the practice squad.

Pascal (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Pascal appears to have sustained a concussion in last weekend's matchup against the Bears, ultimately explaining why he was listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's walk-through session. The 28-year-old wide receiver has until Saturday to clear protocols before the Eagles square off in Dallas.

The Raiders cut Turner from their practice squad Tuesday.

Turner, who's thus far spent the majority of the 2022-23 campaign on either the 49ers' or Raiders' practice squad, has since cut ties with Las Vegas and is now slated to search elsewhere for further opportunities to contribute as a pass catcher.

Taylor (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Taylor entered last weekend's matchup against Tampa Bay with a questionable tag due to a hamstring issue, but he was ultimately able to suit up. He's now opened Week 16 prep as a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through session, though it would be surprising if Saturday's contest versus New England accounted for the 28-year-old's first missed game of the 2022-23 campaign given that he's already played through hamstring concerns this season.
