Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Estimated as non-participant
Williams (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Green Bay didn't hold an actual practice Monday, but the rookie third-round pick would not have been able to log on-field reps to begin Week 13 prep. Williams has regularly missed practices while playing through a foot injury the last two games, so, as long as he's able to log at least one limited session in advance of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Lions, he'll have a chance to take the field. If he's cleared to suit up Thanksgiving Day, Williams will handle a depth role on offense and contribute as a kick returner.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Still managing calf injury
Wicks (calf) is listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks has managed to play through his calf injury in each of Green Bay's last three games, but he now faces a short week of prep ahead of Thursday's divisional contest against the Lions. Both Matthew Golden (wrist) and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) also are listed as limited Monday and could be candidates to retake the field on Thanksgiving Day, though the latter playmaker officially remains on IR. If Golden and/or Reed remain sidelined, though, Wicks will get a chance to handle expanded target volume in Detroit, provided he's able to suit up.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Listed as limited again
Reed (foot/shoulder) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Reed was limited in his return to practice last Friday, so while Green Bay isn't actually hosting an on-field session Monday, it's no surprise that the third-year pro isn't yet ready to handle reps without restrictions. It's possible Reed will need to log at least one full practice Tuesday and/or Wednesday in order to have a chance at coming off IR in time to suit up versus Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. In the event that Thursday's turnaround is too short a window for Reed, he should have a solid chance to return Week 14 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Listed as limited participant
Golden (wrist) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Golden sat out Week 12 versus the Vikings while managing a pair of injuries, but the rookie first-round pick now at least appears to have put his shoulder issue behind him. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level as Green Bay prepares to travel to Detroit for a key divisional showdown on Thanksgiving Day. Across nine regular-season appearances to date, Golden has only exceeded 50 receiving yards on three occasions, and he's still looking to score his first touchdown.

Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET
Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Limited listing Monday
TeSlaa (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough.
TeSlaa has played through an oblique injury during Detroit's last two games, but he's now managing just a hand issue in the wake of Sunday's overtime win over the Giants. The rookie third-round pick has drawn exactly one target in each of his last three appearances, though he's logged only one catch for 11 yards in that span. If Kalif Raymond (ankle) is unable to suit up versus the Packers on Thursday, however, TeSlaa will stand to benefit from increased opportunities, health permitting.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: DNP on Monday
Raymond (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Raymond was forced out of Detroit's overtime win over the Giants in Week 12 late in the third quarter, and he was unable to return to that contest. As a result, the veteran wideout's status for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Packers looks genuinely uncertain. If Raymond is unable to suit up on a short week, rookie third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa (hand) could benefit from increased opportunities behind top receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Makes most of lone target
Walker had a 30-yard reception on his lone target Sunday against the Jets.
The second-year wideout saw a season-high 23 snaps as Baltimore looked to find a spark in Rashod Bateman's absence. Walker was only targeted once, but converted it into the Ravens' longest offensive play from scrimmage Sunday. He has caught all four of his targets this season for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Walker's overall sample is too small to draw hard conclusions, but he has produced when called upon, dating back to his rookie season. Pending Bateman's status for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Walker could have a similar role in Week 13. If Bateman (ankle) is back, however, Walker appears to be at risk of being a healthy scratch.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Back on practice field
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said McLaurin (quadriceps) will participate in Monday's unofficial walkthrough, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
McLaurin appears to have made the most of Washington's bye in Week 12, as Monday's session represents his first time handling on-field reps since aggravating his quad injury Week 8. It's possible McLaurin will be cleared to retake the field versus the Broncos on Sunday if he's able to ramp up his activity throughout the week while avoiding any setbacks. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also is slated to practice this week, though Marcus Mariota is expected to remain Washington's starter Week 13.

Jalin Hyatt WR | NYG
Giants' Jalin Hyatt: Doesn't see field in Week 12
Hyatt was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Detroit.
In Mike Kafka's first game as New York's interim head coach in Week 11 versus Green Bay, Hyatt logged a season-high 62 percent offensive snap share and caught two of four targets for 18 yards. However, that increased usage didn't carry over into Week 12, as Hyatt didn't log a single snap in any capacity. Meanwhile, recent 53-man roster signee Isaiah Hodgins posted a 66 percent offensive snap share, while top WRs Wan'Dale Robinson (83 percent) and Darius Slayton (63 percent) played their usual roles. Perhaps most tellingly for Hyatt's status in the pecking order, special-teams specialist Gunner Olszewski was given eight snaps on offense and rookie undrafted free agent Dalen Cambre got one, suggesting that New York may have decided to phase Hyatt out of the offense altogether moving forward.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Three touches on offense Sunday
Turpin gained four rushing yards on two carries, caught one of two targets for 48 yards and added 86 yards on three kickoff returns and one punt return in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
The fourth-year speedster committed his first fumble of the season early in the second quarter as part of a disastrous first half that saw the Cowboys fall behind 21-0, but Turpin atoned right before halftime with his 48-yard catch and run to set up Dallas' first TD of the game as they began a remarkable comeback. It was Turpin's longest play from scrimmage this season, and through nine games he's produced 262 yards of offense and a receiving TD on 26 touches while racking up 973 total return yards -- fourth in the NFL behind the Titans' Chimere Dike (1,491), the Vikings' Myles Price (1,336) and the Bengals' Charlie Jones (1,034).
