Williams was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

With the Chargers coming off their bye week, it's notable that Williams is one of four players whose reps were restricted. As Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times notes, Williams dealt with some knee issues earlier this season, so it bears tracking his status this week to see if the wideout's reps are simply being managed at this stage or if there's a setback in play.

Agholor (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

There was optimism earlier in the week that Agholor would manage to practice in full Wednesday, but the 26-year-old still hasn't completely moved past the knee injury that sidelined him for the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. With Alshon Jeffery (ankle) also limited, the Eagles will kick off the week with J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Mack Hollins as the only healthy options at wide receiver.

Miller was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Miller looks to have suffered a hamstring issue during the Week 12 win over the Falcons. There's not yet any reason to worry that the rookie sixth-round pick is in danger of missing any time, as he'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his level of participation ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.

Dorsett indicated Wednesday that he's passed the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The wideout practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, per Reiss, so if Dorsett avoids any setbacks in the coming days, he should be good to go Sunday against the Texans.

Agnew (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bears.

Agnew didn't practice for the second straight week, so he'll look to leverage the "mini-bye" from playing on the weekday to get healthy for Week 14's clash against the Vikings. The third-year pro is mainly used as a kick returner, so the Lions may deploy Ty Johnson to fill that role in Agnew's place.

Beckham (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Beckham was also limited at practice last week before approaching Sunday's win over the Dolphins minus an injury designation. With no reported setbacks coming out the contest, the wideout should be ready to go when this weekend's matchup with the Steelers arrives. In the Browns' victory over Pittsburgh in Week 11, Beckham caught four of 10 targets for 60 yards.

Campbell (hand) was limited at practice Wednesday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Campbell, who is bouncing back from a procedure on his right hand that he underwent about three weeks ago, has a chance to play Sunday against the Titans, but first the Colts want to see how the rookie wideout looks at practice in the coming days. If Campbell is able to return to action this weekend, he could step into a key role opposite T.Y. Hilton (calf), with Devin Funchess (collarbone) still not ready to play.

Samuel (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel practiced in a limited capacity twice leading up to the Week 12 win over the Packers, playing through his shoulder injury en route to finishing with two catches for 50 yards and a touchdown. The rookie second-round pick has turned in an impressive three-game stretch, notching 18 catches for 296 yards and a touchdown over that span. He has a tough matchup on deck this week, taking on a Ravens squad that boasts a formidable secondary.

Smith-Schuster (knee) cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. However, the wideout didn't participate in the Steelers' first practice of Week 13.

Per Pryor, Smith-Schuster was sporting a big brace on his left knee Wednesday, so that's something he'll need to move past in order to gain clearance to suit up Sunday against the Browns. If Smith-Schuster is sidelined for a second straight week, added opportunities would be available for James Washington and Diontae Johnson.

Smith-Schuster (knee) is still in the concussion protocol heading into Wednesday's practice, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Residing in the protocol doesn't hold players back from taking part in practice, but Smith-Schuster has failed to log any on-field work since picking up a concussion and left knee injury on Nov. 14 at Cleveland. It's unclear if he'll take the field for Wednesday's session, but any activity will be noted on the Steelers' first Week 13 practice report.
