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.

Kayshon Boutte WR | NE
Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Full practice participant
Boutte (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Boutte returned to limited practice participation last week before missing a second straight game. He's now set to return for a favorable Week 12 matchup with Cincinnati, although it's possible Boutte loses a few snaps relative to his pre-injury workload, as Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins both responded well to boosts in playing time the past few weeks.

Isaac TeSlaa WR | DET
Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Logs limited practice
TeSlaa (oblique) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
TeSlaa managed to play through his oblique injury during Detroit's loss to the Eagles in Week 11, but the injury continues to linger ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants. Of course, given that TeSlaa has yet to log a single game with multiple catches yet this season, he won't be on the radar for fantasy consideration in the majority of formats even if healthy for Week 12.

Kalif Raymond WR | DET
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Practices in full Wednesday
Raymond (cramps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Raymond was forced out in the fourth quarter versus the Eagles in Week 10 due to cramps, and although Detroit hosted only a walkthrough practice Wednesday, the veteran wideout appears to have already returned to full health. Expect Raymond to handle his usual No. 3 receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on Sunday against the Giants.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Still not practicing
Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton hasn't mixed into any drills since he injured his hamstring during a Week 10 loss in Chicago, but he was spotted working on the side with the Giants' training staff at Wednesday's session, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Slayton will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to potentially return to action Sunday at Detroit. At the moment, Wan'Dale Robinson, Isaiah Hodgins, Jalin Hyatt and Gunner Olszewski are the healthy wide receivers on the active roster.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Resumes practicing in full
Gould (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Gould hasn't played since Week 8 due to a knee injury, but coming off Indianapolis' bye he appears to have returned to full health. Expect the depth wideout to resume operating as the Colts' top return man when the team returns to action Sunday on the road against the Chiefs.

Tory Horton WR | SEA
Seahawks' Tory Horton: Won't practice Wednesday
Hornton (groin/shin) will not participate in Wednesday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Horton has missed back-to-back games due to a pair of injuries, and he'll have just two more opportunities to get back on the field prior to Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Head coach Mike Macdonald said last Friday that a stint on IR could be in consideration for Horton, which indicates that he could miss multiple more weeks.

Elic Ayomanor WR | TEN
Titans' Elic Ayomanor: Not practicing
Ayomanor (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Chimere Dike (chest) is participating, after both he and Ayomanor suffered injuries during the second half of Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Titans. With Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, Van Jefferson should have a top-three role even if Ayomanor manages to play this Sunday against a tough Seattle defense.
-
Chimere Dike WR | TEN
Titans' Chimere Dike: Returns to practice
Dike (chest) returned to practice Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Dike was evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's 16-13 loss to Houston, and while he cleared concussion protocol, he missed the rest of the game with a chest injury. A quick return to practice suggests he's on track to play Sunday against the Seahawks, whereas teammate Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday. Fellow Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (leg) is out for the season, leaving Ayomanor, Dike and Van Jefferson as the top three wide receivers.
