Jeudy (knee/shin) was limited at practice Thursday.

Jeudy -- who is coming off a two-catch, 20-yard effort in Week 16, was also deemed a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, so the wideout will probably have to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Dolphins without an injury designation. If available this weekend, Jeudy is likely to continue to work with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf), who was also limited Thursday but trending toward a second straight start.

Tillman (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Tillman has been slow to move through the NFL's concussion protocol after sustaining the head injury in a Nov. 21 win over the Steelers. He's sat out the Browns' last four games, and despite being a limited participant in both of the team's first two practice sessions of Week 17, he's far from a lock to clear the five-step protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Jerry Jeudy (knee/shin) was also limited for the second day in a row while tight end David Njoku (knee) remained a non-participant, so the Browns could be without as many as three key pass catchers this weekend.

Hill (wrist/rest) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Hill -- who has been managing a wrist injury -- also was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but the wideout could be cleared for Sunday's game against the Browns as soon as Friday. Meanwhile, fellow starter Jaylen Waddle (knee), who was inactive Week 16, returned to a limited practice Thursday, so it's possible that the Dolphins will have both players players available for Week 17 action.

Waddle (knee) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Waddle, who was sidelined for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to a limited session a day later offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Browns. Also limited Thursday was Tyreek Hill (wrist/rest), with added context regarding the duo's Week 17 statuses set to arrive via Friday's final injury report.

Jones (groin) is questionable to play against the Broncos on Saturday after logging a limited practice Thursday.

Jones has been sidelined for the Bengals' last seven games due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8 against the Eagles. He was a limited practice participant all week and appears to be getting closer to making his return. Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams would continue to serve as the Bengals' kick and punt returners if Jones is unable to play.

Higgins (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Broncos, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Higgins maintained a limited listing on all three of the Bengals' practice reports this week, but given his official questionable designation, the wideout's Week 17 status will need to be verified ahead of Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET contest. If Higgins ends up limited or out versus Denver, added opportunities alongside top WR Ja'Marr Chase would be available for Andrei Iosivas and Jermaine Burton.

Brown (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Brown instead was seen on the side during the open part of Thursday's session, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. It's unclear if Brown is in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Falcons due to the hamstring injury that forced an early exit from a Week 16 matchup versus the Eagles, but the Commanders could make a ruling on that front when they post their final practice report of the week Friday.

The Cowboys announced Thursday that Lamb will be sidelined for the final two games of the season but isn't expected to require surgery to address the AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

Lamb initially injured his shoulder in a Nov. 3 loss to the Falcons, but he had been playing through the issue in the last seven games on his way to accruing a 48-534-2 receiving line on 68 targets and tacking on an additional 18 yards on four carries. After he was limited to a season-low offensive snap share of 55 percent in this past Sunday's 26-24 win over the Buccaneers, he underwent additional exams and scans on his shoulder earlier this week that showed his injury had worsened. Lamb would likely push through the injury and continue playing if the 7-8 Cowboys were still in the playoff hunt, but he'll instead get a head start on his rehabilitation. He's projected to make a full recovery from the injury and should be available for the start of the Cowboys' offseason program.

London (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

London continues to operate with practice restrictions due to the hamstring issue that forced him out in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win versus the Giants. He relayed to Raimondi on Thursday that he's fine, and the injury shouldn't be a concern Sunday at Washington. Having said that, London may still head into the weekend with a designation for that contest, which will be revealed on Friday's injury report.

Adams (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Adams, who was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, was spotted off to the side during Thursday's session, per Cimini, so what the wideout is able to Friday will loom large with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. Unless Adams upgrades to full participation to close the week, however, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.
