Brown caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Thursday's 27-17 win over the Saints.

The Cowboys nearly had their full complement of wideouts available again, but with Cedrick Wilson (ankle) sidelined and Amari Cooper having a limited workload in his return from the COVID-19 list, there were still opportunities for Brown and other depth receivers to see some looks. Brown has set career highs this season with 16 catches on 25 targets for 184 yards, but he's still looking for his first NFL touchdown.

Beckham's (hip) status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars is up in the air after he sat out Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Beckham was limited at Wednesday's practice before sitting out Thursday due to a posterior hip pointer in his lower back, and the absence is apparently more than a precautionary measure. It's not believed to be a major injury for the 29-year-old, but his outlook for this weekend remains in question.

Humphrey secured both targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.

Humphrey checked in a distant second to Deonte Harris in receiving yards, but he was able to get into the end zone via a 24-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter. The 23-year-old now has a pair of touchdown catches in the last three games, while his yardage totals over the last pair of contests -- he also posted 47 yards against the Bills on Thanksgiving night -- are the two highest of his career. Humphrey's next opportunity to keep building on his numbers comes in a Week 14 road matchup against the Jets a week from Sunday.

Harris secured four of eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown, rushed once for three yards and returned four punts for 37 yards in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night.

The speedster put the icing on his fantasy performance with a 70-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter that turned out to be meaningless to the game's outcome but certainly propped up his final tally significantly. Harris' score was his third of the season and first since Week 5, and his yardage total both paced the Saints and qualified as a career high. If the 23-year-old is successful in his appeal of a three-game ban for violation of the league's policy and program for substances of abuse, he'll next have an opportunity to build on his numbers against the Jets on the road in Week 14 a week from Sunday.

Gallup brought in five of nine targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

Gallup made a trademark acrobatic touchdown grab in right corner of the end zone with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter to cap off an 80-yard scoring march and put the first points of the night on the board. The fourth-year wideout now encouragingly has three straight five-catch efforts on a total of 27 targets heading into a Week 14 road matchup versus Washington a week from Sunday.

Cooper (illness) brought in both targets for 41 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

The veteran wideout was relatively quiet in his return to action, and all of his yardage actually came on just one of his receptions. Cooper has now totaled just 129 receiving yards in the three games since his 8-122-1 breakout versus the Vikings in Week 8, a matter he'll look to rectify at the expense of the Washington secondary in a Week 14 matchup a week from Sunday.

Lamb brought in seven of 13 targets for 89 yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night. He also rushed once for 33 yards and returned three punts for 35 yards.

Making his return after a one-game absence while in concussion protocol, Lamb turned in an excellent all-purpose effort, one that saw him pace the Cowboys in receptions and receiving yards. The second-year wideout's target tally was also a team-high figure and his second highest of the season, and his rush attempt yielded a career-long run. Lamb's first opportunity to build on what was his most well-balanced performance of the season comes a week from Sunday in a Week 14 road contest versus Washington.

Skowronek (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Skowronek was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his status improved Thursday. It appears as though the kick returner will be able to return Sunday against the Jaguars following his one-game absence.

Beckham (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Beckham is tending to what Josina Anderson of USA Today reported as a posterior hip pointer in his lower back following the Rams' Week 12 loss at Green Bay. Consequently, Beckham's practice reps are being managed this week, with Thursday's absence preceded by an estimate of limited on Wednesday's injury report. He seems poised to enter the weekend with a designation, which will be confirmed after Friday's practice.

Metcalf (foot) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

One day removed from his limited listing on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Metcalf handled every rep as the Seahawks manage a foot issue that has bothered him since Week 4. While he produced no matter who was under center before the team's Week 9 bye -- a 39-580-8 line on 56 targets -- he's managed to haul in just eight of 20 passes for 70 yards and no scores over the last three games, all with Russell Wilson directing the offense. Metcalf and Wilson will attempt to get back on track Sunday against the 49ers.
