Hardman remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list and didn't practice Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

The Chiefs placed Hardman on the COVID-19 list back on Nov. 11, and the second-year wideout apparently still hasn't completed the protocol to return following the team's Week 10 bye. Hardman's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders thus appears murky, but the Chiefs at least received some good news among their receiving corps after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) resumed practicing without limitations Wednesday. With Watkins poised to play Week 11, Hardman's snap count will likely take a hit if manages to gain clearance.

Agnew (ribs) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Agnew has missed back-to-back games but appears on pace to return to duty in this Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The 25-year-old contributes sparingly on offense, but he's the team's top returner of both kicks and punts. Agnew scored one touchdown on each unit last year, but he hasn't broken off a big one yet this year.

Lazard (core) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Although the Packers activated Lazard from injured reserve Tuesday, he still seems to be easing back to full speed as he approaches his first game action since Week 3. If his conditioning hasn't returned by Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Lazard could take a back seat in the passing game to both Davante Adams (ankle) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. In any case, Lazard's situation will continue to be monitored closely as the week proceeds.

Jones didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Jones and fellow starting wideout Danny Amendola (hip) both missed Wednesday's practice, while Kenny Golladay (hip) and T.J. Hockenson (toe) were limited participants. To make matters worse for Detroit's receiving corps, quarterback Matthew Stafford sat out practice and could be in danger of missing time due to a ligament tear in his thumb. As such, the Lions can scarcely afford for Jones to miss Sunday's game in Carolina.

Adams (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Adams injured his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but according to the wide receiver, he was able to persuade the Packers' training staff to let him back on the field, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. He went on to record the game-winning score in the final quarter, giving him a league-leading nine touchdown catches on the season (tied with Adam Thielen and Tyreek Hill). While the Packers plan to have Adams back out there again this weekend at Indianapolis, his availability likely hinges on him avoiding any setbacks as the week goes on.

Shenault (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

Shenault practiced on a limited basis before sitting out last week's loss to the Packers, so the fact that he isn't on the field to begin Week 11 prep is a discouraging early sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Steelers. The Jaguars have no reason to rush the rookie second-round pick back into action, so Shenault will likely have to raise his practice participation in the coming days to have a chance to play this weekend.

Jeudy was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jeudy shook off a shoulder injury to lead the Broncos in receiving yards for a second consecutive game in the Week 10 loss to the Raiders, but he's now tending to a new issue ahead of a Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins. So long as the rookie continues to practice at least on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, he should still be in good shape to play this weekend.

Coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Lockett was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated report and didn't practice Tuesday, but the sixth-year wide receiver appears to be on pace to suit up Week 11. One way or another, confirmation on his availability will arrive about 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Humphries (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Humphries has missed the Titans' last two games, and his absence from practice Wednesday isn't a good sign with regard to his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Ravens. If Humphries remains sidelined, added snaps would be available for Cameron Batson and Kalif Raymond.

Lockett (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Lockett is still working back from the sprained knee he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Rams. The quick turnaround for a Week 11 game likely hasn't helped Lockett, who was listed as a non-participant on the Seahawks' first two practice reports of the week. Head coach Pete Carroll has already called Lockett a game-time decision for Thursday, so the final word on his status likely won't come until 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 PM ET kickoff, at which time the Seahawks' inactives will be made official. If Lockett can't go Thursday, David Moore and Freddie Swain will be candidates to draw increased targets behind top receiver DK Metcalf. When Lockett last faced Arizona in Week 7, he enjoyed a career day with 15 recpetions for 200 yards and three touchdowns.
