Noah Sewell LB | CHI
Bears' Noah Sewell: Starts week as DNP
Sewell (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
Sewell was sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Steelers with an elbow injury, and now his availability for Week 13 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to manage some activity at practice Wednesday or Thursday to give himself a chance of suiting up Friday at Philadelphia.

Keisean Nixon CB | GB
Packers' Keisean Nixon: Limited in Tuesday's walkthrough
Nixon (neck) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Nixon was estimated as a DNP on Monday due to a neck injury he sustained during the Packers' win over the Vikings on Sunday. His ability to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday is a sign that the injury is not considered a long-term issue, and Wednesday's injury report will shed light on whether he'll be available to play against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Nixon's absence would open the door for Kamal Hadden and Nate Hobbs (knee) to see more defensive snaps in the secondary.

DeeJay Dallas RB | CAR
DeeJay Dallas: Back to practice squad
Dallas reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL transaction log.
Dallas was active for the first time since Week 6 after being elevated from the Panthers' practice squad. He logged 16 special teams snaps in Monday's loss to the 49ers but did not record a stat.

Dominique Robinson DE | CHI
Bears' Dominique Robinson: In concussion protocol Tuesday
Robinson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
Robinson suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game versus the Steelers, and now he's in danger of missing Friday's contest at Philadelphia. Unless he's able to return to the practice field Wednesday or Thursday, it's unlikely he'll be available in Week 13.

Nate Hobbs CB | GB
Packers' Nate Hobbs: Limited to open week
Hobbs (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Hobbs has missed the Packers' last two games due to a sprained MCL. He has been listed as a limited practice participant in the first two days of Week 13 prep, and Wednesday's report will provide clarity on his chances of returning for Thursday's game against the Lions. Hobbs' return could impact the amount of defensive snaps available in the secondary for Carrington Valentine and Javon Bullard (ankle).

T.J. Edwards LB | CHI
Bears' T.J. Edwards: DNP on Tuesday's practice estimate
Edwards (hand) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
Edwards has sat out Chicago's last three games as he recovers from surgery to repair a broken hand, and now his status for Week 13 is up in the air. He'll probably have to participate at practice Wednesday or Thursday to have any shot to play Friday at Philadelphia.

Karl Brooks DT | GB
Packers' Karl Brooks: Still nursing ankle injury
Brooks (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Brooks was able to play through an ankle injury against the Vikings on Sunday, though he was limited to just seven snaps (four on defense, three on special teams). He has been sidelined for each of the first two walkthrough practices of Week 13 prep, and his practice participation Wednesday will factor into his chances of playing Thanksgiving Day against the Lions. Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson would be in line for more rotational snaps at defensive tackle if Brooks is not cleared to play against Detroit.

Alvin Kamara RB | NO
Saints' Alvin Kamara: Dealing with sprained MCL
Kamara (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
While Kamara avoided a major injury, a sprained MCL typically comes with a multi-week recovery timeline. Kamara played just 11 offensive snaps against Atlanta prior to leaving the game, allowing rookie Devin Neal to assume somewhat of an every-down role, though Taysom Hill also became more involved as a runner following Kamara's departure. Neal gained just 18 yards on seven carries and caught five passes for 43 yards on seven targets. He is one of the highest-priority waiver-wire pickups for Week 13 with Kamara's status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins very much in question.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | GB
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Reps capped in walkthrough
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Wicks was one of four Packers listed as limited Tuesday in what's expected to be the team's most extensive workout of the week prior to Thursday's game against the Lions. Along with Wicks, Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) -- who remains on injured reserve -- Savion Williams (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist) had their reps capped Tuesday. Green Bay's final practice report will be issued Wednesday, potentially offering clarity on whether Wicks or any of the other wideouts nursing injuries will be able to suit up for the Thanksgiving game.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Still limited in practice
Reed (foot/shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Since having his 21-day practice window opened Friday, Reed has been listed as limited for each of Green Bay's ensuing three sessions. Since the Packers aren't holding any traditional practices this week with the team traveling to Detroit for a Thanksgiving game, Reed may face an uphill battle to prove that he's fully recovered from surgeries he underwent earlier this season to address a Jones fracture as well as a broken clavicle. The third-year wideout played just two games before being placed on injured reserve Sept. 20.
