Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Remains limited
Weaver (ankle) was estimated to have logged a limited practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Weaver missed Arizona's Week 10 loss to the Seahawks with the same ankle issue. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so it's unclear how much progress he has made. The Cardinals' receiving corps is beat up, as Marvin Harrison (appendectomy) has already been ruled out, and both Zay Jones (Achilles) and Simi Fehoko (ankle) were placed on injured reserve this week.

Savion Williams WR | GB
Packers' Savion Williams: Limited Wednesday
Williams (foot) was limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
After losing to the Eagles on Monday night, Green Bay held a walkthrough Wednesday. Williams went into that loss dealing with a foot injury but was cleared to play. However, the rookie wideout played just six offensive snaps, catching two pass for two yards.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith WR | LAC
Chargers' KeAndre Lambert-Smith: Past hamstring injury
Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
A hamstring injury prevented the rookie fifth-rounder from playing in the Chargers' Week 10 win over the Steelers. Lambert-Smith appears to be past the injury given his full practice Wednesday, and he is on track to be available for Sunday's road game against the Jaguars. He has mostly been used on special teams as a returner, posting 219 yards on nine kickoff returns across six regular-season games.

Jimmy Holiday WR | KC
Jimmy Holiday: Back with KC
The Chiefs signed Holiday to their practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Holiday was released from the Chiefs' practice squad Nov. 4, but he is now back with the team. He has not been elevated to the active roster at any point this season.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Broncos' Trent Sherfield: Nursing toe injury
Sherfield (toe) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Sherfield was on the field for a season-low 18 total snaps in Week 10 versus the Raiders, which would make sense if he hurt his toe during that contest. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a shot to play in Week 11 versus the Chiefs.

Bryce Oliver WR | TEN
Titans' Bryce Oliver: Limited in practice Wednesday
Oliver (knee) was a limited participant in Tennessee's practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Oliver has missed seven consecutive games with a knee injury but appears to be nearing his return. If the 25-year-old manages to suit up for Sunday's game versus Houston, he would likely resume his role as a depth receiver and kick returner.
-
Scott Miller WR | CHI
Steelers' Scotty Miller: Past finger injury
Miller (finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Miller missed the Steelers' last three games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He was a full participant to open Week 11 prep, which puts the veteran wide receiver on track to play against the Bengals on Sunday. Miller was used sparsely on offense prior to his injury, logging one catch (on two targets) for nine yards across six regular-season games.

Jahdae Walker WR | CHI
Bears' Jahdae Walker: DNP on Wednesday
Walker (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
Walker missed last Sunday's win over the Giants and is apparently still in the concussion protocol. He's played just six offensive snaps this season and 61 on special teams, recording three tackles.
-
Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Limited practice Wednesday
Johnston (shin) was limited at practice Wednesday.
As was fellow wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle), which makes the duo's status worth tracking ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Johnston was on the field for 82 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in the team's Week 10 win over the Steelers en route to logging a team-high 10 targets, and at this stage it's unclear if his shin issue is something that occurred in that contest or popped up during Wednesday's practice.
