Smith-Schuster (knee) didn't practice Thursday.

Per Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site, Smith-Schuster is no longer in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the wideout is still tending to a knee issue that threatens his status for Sunday's game against the Browns. What Smith-Schuster is able to do at practice Friday, if anything, will thus be telling with regard to his Week 13 status. Next up for added targets should Smith-Schuster end up sidelined this weekend are James Washington and Diontae Johnson.

Campbell (hand) remained limited at practice Thursday.

We'll look for added clarity with regard to Campbell's Week 13 status no later than Friday, but with T.Y. Hilton (calf) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans and Devin Funchess (collarbone) not yet ready to play, Campbell -- if available -- could step into a key role in the team's passing game this weekend.

Samuel (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Limited by a knee injury at Wednesday's session, Samuel was back to full capacity one day later. He has yet to surpass 100 yards from scrimmage in a given game this season, but typically he's been good for 40-plus such yards, which he's done seven times in 11 contests.

Moore (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Moore departed Wednesday's session early to attend the birth of his child but was back in action one day later, per Max Henson of the Panthers' official site. Following his return to the fray, Moore will turn his focus to Sunday's matchup with the Redskins, who have allowed 8.9 yards per target and 14 total touchdowns to wide receivers in 11 games this season.

Harris (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Falcons, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Harris logged a trio of limited practices this week. If he were forced to miss any time, Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara would take over fielding kick and punt returns, respectively.

The Lions signed Lacy to a contract Wednesday.

Lacy's spot on the 53-man roster comes following Detroit's decision to place Marvin Hall (foot) on injured reserve. Lacy will serve as the team's No. 4 receiver behind Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola.

Pettis injured his left knee at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pettis suffered the injury during a special-teams drill and was eventually listed as a non-participant on the 49ers' first practice report of Week 13, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Nothing more is known about the nature or severity of Pettis' health concern, meaning his status will continue to be monitored as the weekend draws closer. After a strong debut season for San Francisco, Pettis has tumbled down the depth chart at receiver in 2019, logging just seven offensive snaps in total over the past two weeks.

Adams (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday. "I'm feeling like myself now," Adams told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic on Wednesday. "The lack of numbers has nothing to do with my toe."

Adams' listing on the injury report belies his comments, at least in the sense that the toe he sprained back in Week 4 is to blame for his cap in practice reps. In three appearances since returning from a four-game absence, Adams has received a whopping 33 targets and scored his first touchdown of the season, but his peripheral numbers (6.1 yards per target and 63.6 percent catch rate) leave much to be desired.

Patrick (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Patrick managed to play through his shoulder injury during the Week 12 loss to the Bills, catching one of three targets for three yards in the contest. The 26-year-old will look to bounce back Sunday against the Chargers and work to establish better chemistry with whichever of Drew Lock (thumb) or Brandon Allen starts under center in Week 13.

Sutton (ankle) doesn't appear on the Broncos' Week 13 injury report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sutton tweaked his ankle during Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Bills, a game in which he caught just one pass (on eight targets) for a season-low 27 yards. The issue was downplayed afterward, and his absence from Wednesday's injury report ensures that Sutton will be available Sunday against the Chargers. The Broncos' undisputed top pass catcher will look to prove that his Week 12 dud was an outlier, a reasonable exception regardless of who serves as the Broncos' quarterback this weekend.
