Golden (wrist) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

Golden has missed back-to-back games and three of the last four due to shoulder and wrist injuries. He's been listed with only the latter concern the last two weeks, but he has yet to be anything more than a limited participant during that time. He likely will need to get back to full participation in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Bears.

Coach Sean McVay said Adams won't practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but he expects the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday in Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

This is a new health concern for Adams, who currently is on a six-game TD streak during which he has 11 end-zone visits. Outside of touchdowns, he's put together 26 catches (on 44 targets) for 293 yards in that stretch, so he's relatively dependent on the all-important category for his fantasy appeal at the moment. That aside, Adams will have a pair of chances this week to prove his health before the Rams potentially give him a designation ahead of the weekend.

Rodgers (left wrist) didn't practice Wednesday.

Rodgers' presence on the Steelers' Week 14 injury report isn't surprising, as coach Mike Tomlin indicated during his weekly press conference that the QB would be among those whose practice participation would be limited to start the week. That said, Rodgers noted after Wednesday's practice he felt like his non-throwing wrist was healing. "I didn't come out of the game any worse for wear," said Rodgers, who started this past Sunday against the Bills, missing only a series when he was hit in the nose and bleeding. Chances are, Rodgers will return to practice Thursday, as he did last week when he logged a full session.

Coach Sean McVay said Williams (ankle) will be limited at Wednesday's practice, but he expects the running back to play Sunday at Arizona, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Williams missed some time during this past Sunday's loss at Carolina to have his right ankle examined, but he resumed play after halftime and finished with 13 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown while not hauling in his only target on a 67 percent snap share. Meanwhile, fellow RB Blake Corum had seven carries for 81 yards and one TD on 33 percent of the plays. In five games since the Rams' Week 8 bye, Williams' offensive snap count has ranged between 66 and 69 percent on four occasions, while the fifth (Week 10) was slightly lower at 59 percent. Assuming he's able suit up this weekend, Williams should continue to earn a majority share of the backfield reps over Corum.

Jackson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Jackson logged a DNP each of the past three Wednesdays as he managed knee, ankle and toe injuries. This time around, the star QB practiced in a limited fashion, with his ankle being cited as the issue for his listing. At this stage there's nothing to suggest that Jackson is in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Steelers, a notion that would be confirmed if he practices fully by Friday.

Daniels (left elbow) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Sidelined since he dislocated his left elbow during a Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, Daniels hasn't been cleared for contact, as coach Dan Quinn on Wednesday corroborated Ian Rapoport of NFL Network's report from Sunday. Quinn added that Daniels will "get a lot of reps in practice" this week, but the Commanders are "going to take it all the way through Friday" to determine his odds to return to action Sunday at Minnesota, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels thus seems in play to suit up Week 14, but if he doesn't gain the aforementioned clearance, Marcus Mariota will continue to lead Washington's offense for at least one more game.

Mayfield (left shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Mayfield didn't play after halftime of a Week 12 loss at the Rams due to what eventually was diagnosed as an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. He was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Cardinals, completing 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions and turning six carries into 27 yards. The Buccaneers listed all of RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Mike Evans (collarbone, IR), Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) as limited Wednesday, so the overall situation bears watching as the week continues to get a sense of who Mayfield will be throwing to Sunday versus the Saints, assuming he's active himself.

Irving (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Making his first appearance since Week 4 this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Irving led the Buccaneers backfield to the tune of 19 touches for 81 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 52 percent snap share. His previous seven-game absence was induced by a subluxation of his left shoulder and a left foot sprain, the former of which is impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Evans (collarbone) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

The Buccaneers designated Evans for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, and coach Todd Bowles spoke on the wide receiver's current level of health, telling Brianna Dix of the team's official site, "Physically, he is fine. He's been running and everything. ... We have to see him in the football atmosphere, running routes pattern-wise. He has to get acclimated to that, so it will be good to see him tomorrow." That seems to indicate Tampa Bay has an official practice on deck Thursday, after which the team seemingly will have a better read on Evans' status. As for the rest of the offense, all of QB Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) and WRs Chris Godwin (fibula) and Jalen McMillan (neck, IR) were limited participants to begin Week 14 prep.

Jacobs (knee) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Jacobs missed the Packers' Week 12 win against the Vikings due to a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he was able to return to action for last Thursday's victory at Detroit and paced the backfield in the process, taking 17 carries for 83 yards and catching his only target for eight yards. The aforementioned knee issue continues to linger, but there's been no indication that he's in any danger of being absent Sunday versus the Bears.
