Reid (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup with the Chiefs.

Reid will remain sidelined in Week 17, although he was able to log multiple full practices again during the week. The safety will shift his focus to potentially returning for the team's final game of the regular season against the Chargers on Jan. 4.

Ruiz (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Ruiz was unable to play against the Jets in Week 16 due to an ankle injury. He'll have two more chances to practice and give himself an opportunity to play against the Titans on Sunday. William Sherman started at right guard in Week 16 and would likely reprise that role if Ruiz is not cleared to play Week 17.

Runyan (personal) was a full participant in the Giants' practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Runyan is back with the team after missing the Week 16 loss to the Vikings due to personal reasons. The 28-year-old should resume his role as the team's starting left guard during Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

Manu (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Manu was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18, but he's not quite ready to return from a knee injury that has sidelined him since mid-October. Manu's next opportunity to play is Week 18 against the Bears.

Tunsil (oblique) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.

Tunsil will be forced to miss a second game in a row while recovering from an oblique injury. Brandon Coleman will likely draw another start at left tackle versus Dallas in Week 17.

Mahogany (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota.

Mahogany was activated from injured reserve ahead of the Lions' Week 16 tilt against the Steelers after recovering from a fractured left fibula. He was limited in all three walkthrough practices during Week 17 prep but should be cleared to play Christmas Day once he goes through pregame warmups. Kayode Awosika would likely step up as the starting left guard if Mahogany is unable to play.

Thomas (hamstring) didn't participate in the Giants' practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Thomas is still dealing with the hamstring injury he suffered during the Week 16 loss to the Vikings. Marcus Mbow would likely start at left tackle during Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders if Thomas ends up not playing.

Smith was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Smith was cut loose by the Rams earlier in the week, but he has now found a new home in New York. The safety will operate as a top reserve option behind Malachi Moore against the Patriots on Sunday.

Decker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Decker has managed to play through a shoulder injury since November, so the veteran offensive lineman should be able to play Christmas Day. If not, then Dan Skipper would likely start at left tackle in Decker's stead.

Wharton (hamstring) didn't participate in Carolina's practice Wednesday.

Wharton remains sidelined with the hamstring injury that has held him out of the last two games. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice at some point this week in order to have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Seahawks. Bobby Brown would get another start at defensive end if Wharton ends up being unable to play.
