Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ
Jets' Garrett Wilson: Multi-week absence expected
Wilson (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks and could be a candidate for injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wilson injured his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos and aggravated the injury in the Jets' Week 10 win over the Browns. If placed on injured reserve, Wilson won't be eligible to return prior to Week 15 against the Jaguars. Even if he avoids an IR stint, Wilson could miss multiple games beyond Thursday's game against the Patriots, for which he has already been ruled out. Josh Reynolds (hip) is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 13 against the Falcons and started opposite Wilson earlier in the season. Tyler Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in both previous games that Wilson missed. Trade acquisitions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could both see their roles expand as they learn the playbook, and rookie fourth-round pick Arian Smith could see additional involvement in a Jets receiving corps that will be scrambling for production in Wilson's absence.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Back at practice Thursday
Washington (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Washington didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field a day later is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Thursday's injury report will reveal the official participation level of Washington, as well as that of fellow WR Brian Thomas (ankle), who was limited Wednesday.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Looking to build momentum
Jeudy looks to build off the momentum created in Week 10's loss to the Jets, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Jeudy had a season-best outing last week, catching six of 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown. The wideout believes his 10 first-half targets got him involved early and credits part of his success to the play calling of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who was given that job after head coach Kevin Stefanski relinquished calling plays coming out of the bye week. Cleveland's quarterback situation has not been ideal and is cited as a major factor in what has been a disappointing season for Jeudy, but the wideout needs to shoulder some of the blame. He leads the NFL with eight drops and has dropped 22.2 percent of the on-target passes thrown his way.

Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Limited Wednesday
Whittington (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Whittington played through the back issue last Sunday against the 49ers, but he played just seven offensive snaps and appears to have fallen behind both Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield on the depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (oblique).

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Deemed full participant Wednesday
Bobo (calf) was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Bobo didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's win over Arizona. However, his estimation as FP during Wednesday's walkthrough suggests he's made significant progress in his recovery from the calf issue. If he's a full participant in actual practices this week, Bobo seems likely to be available Sunday against the Rams.

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 | ARI
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.
