Jermaine Burton WR | CIN
Bengals' Jermaine Burton: No longer under the weather
Burton (illness) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
An illness prevented Burton from playing in the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Steelers, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he is on track to play against the Patriots on Sunday. The second-year wideout has yet to appear in a regular-season game in 2025, with most of his absences coming as a healthy scratch. However, Burton could get his first taste of regular-season action in Week 12 due to the absence of Ja'Marr Chase (suspension).

Xavier Worthy WR | KC
Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Misses practice Wednesday
Worthy (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, coach Andy Reid noted earlier Wednesday that Worthy tweaked his ankle, clouding the wideout's status for the team's ensuing practice session. Following the DNP, Worthy has two more chances to work before the team's final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts is posted. If he's limited or out this weekend, however, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton would be candidates to log added WR snaps behind Rashee Rice.

Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Good to go
Dike (chest) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Dike missed the end of Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston but is fine for Week 12 against Seattle. With Calvin Ridley (leg) out of the season and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) not practicing, Dike and Van Jefferson may be the top WRs for Tennessee this Sunday. Mason Kinsey and James Proche are the other healthy options on the active roster.

Brian Thomas Jr. WR | JAC
Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Still limited at practice
Thomas (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Thomas was also limited at practice last week before being listed as questionable for this past Sunday's win over the Chargers, a game that the wideout was inactive for. Thomas -- who last saw game action in Week 9 -- now has two more chances to practice fully ahead of this weekend's game against the Cardinals. In his absence versus Los Angeles, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick headed Jacksonville's Week 11 wideout corps.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Tending to pair of injuries
Golden was limited at Wednesday's practice due to shoulder and wrist injuries.
Golden didn't play Week 10 against the Eagles due to a shoulder injury but was able to return to action for this past Sunday's win at the Giants. He logged a season-low 33 percent snap share Week 11 and managed to haul in just one of three targets for 24 yards. The Packers' receiving corps continues to deal with numerous injuries, with Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) all limited to begin Week 12 prep, while Savion Williams (foot) was a DNP, so the overall situation is one to watch to get a sense of who among them will be available Sunday versus the Vikings.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Unable to practice Wednesday
Williams (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Williams managed to play through his foot injury during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 and secure his only target for 33 yards, but it appears his availability is once again uncertain for Week 12. Meanwhile, fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (wrist/shoulder), Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all limited in Wednesday's practice. Williams will have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level at practice ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Vikings.

Romeo Doubs WR | GB
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Dealing with wrist injury
Doubs was limited in practice Wednesday due to a wrist injury.
All of Christian Watson (knee), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were limited with their own health concerns Wednesday, while Savion Williams (foot) didn't practice at all to begin Week 12 prep. The situation at wide receiver in Green Bay thus bears monitoring as the week continues to get a sense of who among the quintet will be available Sunday against the Vikings.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited in practice Wednesday
Wicks (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks managed to play through his calf injury Week 11, when he secured one of two targets for nine yards during Green Bay's win over the Giants, but he's still managing the issue ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup against the Vikings. He will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice reps before the Packers are forced to decide whether to tag Wicks with an injury designation for Week 12.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Limited practice Wednesday
Watson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Watson has been listed with a knee issue in advance of each of his four appearances this season, likely a residual of his recovery from last season's torn ACL. He was joined as a limited participant Wednesday by fellow WRs Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf), while Savion Williams (foot) was held out of drills entirely. On the season, Watson has put together a 12-234-2 line on 17 targets.
