Thrash went without a target while playing 12 of the Browns' 58 snaps on offense in last Thursday's 24-19 win over the Steelers.

Though heavy snow suppressed the passing production of both teams, Thrash ended up serving as the Browns' No. 3 wideout for a good portion of the contest after Cedric Tillman (concussion) was forced out of the game late in the third quarter. After recording his first NFL reception a week earlier in a loss to New Orleans, Thrash was blanked in Week 12, but more favorable weather plus a potential Tillman absence this coming Monday in Denver could put the rookie in position for more involvement in the passing attack. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Tillman is still in the concussion protocol, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

Philips was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Philips joined the Eagles' practice squad ahead of the season and will now return to the team's practice unit again. The 25-year-old will provide Philadelphia with an additional depth option at wide receiver moving forward.

Shenault (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Shenault was inactive for the Seahawks' 16-6 win over the Cardinals this past Sunday due to a back injury he picked up in Week 11 against the 49ers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that Shenault should be good to go against the Jets on Sunday. The 2020 second-round pick has logged 449 kick return yards and one touchdown while adding five catches for 36 yards across 10 regular-season games.

Lockett was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As the Seahawks kicked off Week 13 prep, both Lockett and DK Metcalf (shoulder) sat out practice due to new health concerns. As such, the team's upcoming practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for determining who among the two may be in danger of sitting out Sunday's contest at the Jets. Since he last endured practice limitations ahead of Week 9 action, Lockett has accrued a 7-102-1 receiving line on 10 targets over the last three games.

Metcalf didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

As the Seahawks opened Week 13 preparations, both Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (knee) are sitting out due to new health concerns. As a result, the team's ensuing practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will be key for determining who among the pair may be in danger of missing Sunday's game at the Jets. Since returning from an MCL sprain in Week 11, Metcalf has gathered in 11 of 14 targets for 129 yards and no touchdowns over the last two contests.

Cowing (concussion) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Cowing suffered a concussion during the 49ers' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, and he was unable to pass the league's five-step protocols in time for Week 12 against the Packers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that he's progressing through the protocols, though he'll need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Bills on Sunday.

Corley (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

After fumbling what would have been his first career touchdown out of the back of the end zone in Week 9 against the Texans, Corley has seen his offensive involvement tick upward over the last two contests, securing his second and third career catches for a total of 12 yards on 28 offensive snaps as the fourth wideout behind Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams and Xavier Gipson. Irvin Charles would be next up for snaps if Corley can't play against Seattle.

Jones (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Jones missed the Bengals' last three games due to a groin injury. The Week 12 bye appears to have helped his recovery process as he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday. Jones will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Cooks (knee), who was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest versus the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Cooks last played Week 4 at the Giants, as he required an injured reserve stint in the meantime due to an infection stemming from a knee procedure. He was listed as a limited participant at walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday, but his ability to handle a full practice Wednesday indicates he should be able to handle a normal workload Week 13. Before he got injured, Cooks earned at least a 75 percent snap share in each of the first four games of the season, but he mustered just a 9-91-1 receiving line on 19 targets while working with Dak Prescott. With Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Cooks will be on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush (knee).

The Chiefs hope Brown (shoulder) can return to practice in mid-December, Nate Taylor of the Athletic reports.

Brown had shoulder surgery in mid-September, with reports at the time suggesting he was unlikely to play in the regular season but might return for the playoffs. The wideout now seems he has a chance to play before the end of the regular season, although perhaps only in Weeks 17 and 18.
