Smith-Schuster (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

Smith-Schuster -- who aggravated his knee injury at practice last Thursday -- subsequently sat out both Friday's practice and the Steelers' Week 15 loss to the Bills. Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, coach Mike Tomlin suggested that the team plans monitor how Smith-Schuster's knee responds to practice work in the coming days before the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Jets is determined.

Agholor (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

Agholor hasn't practiced in any capacity since the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. Per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, coach Doug Pederson said the "status quo" remains in place of the wideout, whose early hopes of making it back for Sunday's must-win tilt with the Cowboys wouldn't seem promising. If Agholor is sidelined again this weekend, the Eagles would turn to Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Robert Davis as their primary options in three-receiver sets.

Davis (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Davis' status will be updated again following Thursday's practice, but no reports have surfaced yet suggesting he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Saints. The wideout is coming off a three-catch, 57-yard outing in the Titans' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Humphries (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Humphries has missed the Titans' last two games, so his absence from Wednesday's practice isn't especially encouraging with regard to his Week 16 status. If he remains sidelined Sunday against the Saints, added snaps would once again be available for Tajae Sharpe.

Chark (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

The Jaguars' top receiver was unable to practice at all last week before sitting out the team's road win over the Raiders. As such, his ability to complete a limited workout Wednesday is a key step toward him potentially returning to action Sunday against the Falcons.

The Buccaneers promoted Schnell to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Schnell joined the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday after Chris Godwin and Mike Evans both suffered hamstring injuries in Sunday's win over the Lions. Evans was placed on injured reserve, and it's increasingly unlikely Godwin will be able to play Saturday versus the Texans, so Schnell will add depth to the Bucs' receiving corps. The undrafted rookie was productive at Illinois State, generating 65 receptions for 872 yards and nine touchdowns in his senior season, but he'll likely stay in a special-teams role if he suits up Saturday.

The Buccaneers placed Evans (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Evans hasn't practiced in any capacity since strained his hamstring in a Week 14 win over Indianapolis, so it's not entirely surprising that the Buccaneers have elected to shut him down. Tampa Bay promoted wideout Spencer Schnell from the practice squad Wednesday, adding depth to a position group that will also be missing Scott Miller (hamstring) for the rest of the season, and potentially Chris Godwin (hamstring), too. Evans concludes his sixth NFL season with 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns over 13 games.

Chark (ankle) is expected to take part in Wednesday's practice, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Chark did some on-field work Monday and now appears set for a return to practice. He'll likely be a limited participant, but that nonetheless gives him a shot to suit up for Sunday's game in Atlanta. The wide receiver was able to run and cut during a workout Monday, with coach Doug Marrone referring to the progress as "great news" for Chark's odds of playing Week 16.

Foster did not record an offensive snap during Sunday's 17-10 win over Pittsburgh.

Foster had a catch of at least 20 yards in three straight games from Weeks 11 through 13, but -- after not linking up with Josh Allen in Week 14 -- Foster was limited to special teams Sunday. He continues to slide behind Isaiah McKenzie on the depth chart in a pass offense that isn't exactly consistent. He shouldn't be on your radar for Saturday's matchup against New England's second-ranked pass defense.

Hollins did not record an offensive snap during Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.

Hollins saw a target in his Miami debut in Week 14, but didn't so much as see the field on offense the following week. Sunday brings a matchup against a mediocre Bengals pass defense, but it's probably too much to expect for Hollins to turn in a useful fantasy performance as he continues to familiarize himself with the Dolphins' scheme.
