Wicks caught six of seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for six yards.

Wicks recorded a 22-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and scored a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He also maintained his concentration despite losing his shoe to secure a game-sealing 16-yard catch in the fourth quarter, which converted on fourth down for the Packers and allowed them to run out the clock with a pair of kneel downs on the following two plays. That final reception also helped Wicks edge out Christian Watson (80 yards) for the team lead in receiving yards, though Watson led the Packers with 10 targets Thursday. Wicks hadn't scored a regular-season touchdown since Week 16 of the 2024 season, so it remains to be seen if he can build on this Thanksgiving Day breakout when the Packers host the Bears in Week 14.

Coach Dan Campbell said after Thursday's loss to the Packers that he doesn't believe St. Brown's ankle injury is a long-term concern, but he may miss only 1-to-2 games "if we're lucky," Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

St. Brown wasn't able to return after he had his legs rolled up on by two Lions offensive linemen in the first quarter. Considering Campbell's comments, St. Brown appears in danger of missing next Thursday's game against the Cowboys and potentially time beyond that. Jameson Williams stepped up in St. Brown's absence Week 13, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and one touchdown.

Watson caught four of 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for three yards.

Watson may have gotten away with a pushoff on his 51-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter but the play stood as his third touchdown catch in the past three games and accounted for the majority of his production Thursday. His season debut didn't come until Week 8, but Watson has recorded at least 45 receiving yards in all six of his appearances, establishing himself as the top receiving option in a Green Bay offense that's normally run-heavy, Thursday's four-touchdown performance from Jordan Love notwithstanding. Watson's fantasy stock continues to rise heading into another NFC North matchup in Week 14 against the Bears.

Lane (hip) was limited in practice Thursday.

Lane entered Washington's bye in Week 12 nursing a hip injury that forced him out early in Week 11 versus Miami, and he's since logged back-to-back limited practices. The rookie fourth-round pick will have one more chance to prove capable of handling full practice reps prior to Sunday's game against the Broncos. Starting wideouts Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin/knee, IR) have both also retaken the practice field for the Commanders, though, so Lane may find himself in the reserve No. 4 role even if cleared to play Week 13.

Burks (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Burks' finger injury prevented him from suiting up Week 11, and he's still managing the issue coming out of Washington's bye. He may have to log full practice reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Wideouts Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (knee, IR) have both also retaken the practice field for Washington, meaning Burks could find himself relegated to a depth role even if he's able to return Week 13.

Doubs caught all four of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of Jordan Love's second of four TD passes on the afternoon, snagging a two-yard toss with about two minutes left before halftime. It was Doubs' fifth touchdown of the season but his first since Week 4, snapping a seven-game drought. He'll take a 45-542-5 line on 71 targets into a crucial NFC North clash with the Bears in Week 14 at Lambeau Field.

McLaurin (quadriceps) was listed as full on Thursday's injury report.

McLaurin is seeking his first game action since Week 8 and just his second appearance since Week 3 due to a nagging quadriceps injury. With a full listing now under his belt, he appears set to return Sunday against the Broncos along with Noah Brown (groin/knee), the latter of whom will need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday afternoon in order to have a chance to play this weekend.

Harris (jaw) is listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.

The Chargers only hosted a walkthrough practice Thursday, but Harris nonetheless now appears fully on track for Sunday's game against the Raiders. The rookie second-round pick has seen his share of offensive snaps hover around the 50 percent range in five consecutive games, and across 11 regular-season appearances on the year he's totaled 16 grabs for 137 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets.

Tolbert is officially listed as active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Tolbert was a healthy scratch for this past Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles, but he'll rejoin the Cowboys' WR mix in Week 13. In the process, he'll be a candidate, along with Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin, for snaps/targets that don't go to the team's clear-cut top options at the position, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) doesn't have a designation for Friday's game versus the Bears.

Smith was absent from Tuesday's walkthrough due to a shoulder injury, and while he remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, a chest issue and an illness were added to the practice report. After capping Week 13 prep with a full walkthrough Thursday, he's lined up to be available Friday. Smith has accrued an 11-166-1 line on 23 targets in three contests since the Eagles' Week 9 bye.
