Harris (jaw) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

It's unclear when Harris sustained the injury given that the Chargers are coming out of the Week 12 bye, but the injury limited his practice reps to open the week. The rookie second-rounder will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's AFC West tilt against the Raiders. Harris has totaled 16 catches (on 20 targets) for 137 yards and a touchdown through 11 regular-season games.

The Lions signed Kennedy to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Kennedy has spent the entire season on the Lions' practice squad and was elevated for the team's Week 11 win. He was ultimately inactive, though he'll have another chance to make his 2025 debut on Thursday against the Packers.

Reddick (ankle/knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Reddick has been sidelined for four consecutive games due to a pair of ankle and knee injuries, but his ability to practice in any capacity to open the week is a step in the right direction. The linebacker will have two more chances to build off Wednesday's effort and log a full practice ahead of Sunday's contest against Arizona.

The Lions signed Firkser to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.

Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in mid-November and was elevated for their Week 12 win over the Giants. With both Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back) sidelined, Firkser should have a chance to be active for Thursday's game against the Packers.

Morrison (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Morrison was unavailable for the team's 34-7 loss to the Rams in Week 12 due to a hamstring injury. His ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign, and he'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against Arizona.

The Lions reinstated Ragnow (undisclosed) from the reserve/retired list Wednesday.

Ragnow announced his retirement from the NFL during the offseason, and despite him missing training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that the veteran center is "in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later." Ragnow has since been placed on the exempt/commissioner permission list, and while he's eligible to play in Week 14 against the Cowboys, it's more likely that he'd play in Week 15 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 14, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Once he's cleared to play, Ragnow could reclaim his starting spot at center from Graham Glasgow (knee).

Nelson (ribs) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.

Nelson recorded three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday night's 34-7 loss to the Rams, and he may have picked up a ribs injury in the process. The linebacker will have two more opportunities to practice prior to the team's matchup with the Cardinals on Sunday.

Adkins (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Adkins has missed Denver's last three games with the knee issue. He has yet to practice in any capacity since suffering the injury, so there should be significant doubt about his status for Denver's Week 13 matchup against the Commanders.

Harris (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Head coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism Tuesday that Harris would be available to play against the Broncos on Sunday. Harris' ability to practice in full Wednesday is a good sign for the veteran safety and puts him on track to be activated from IR ahead of Week 13. His return would likely impact the snap count of Jeremy Reaves, who has started at safety in seven of the Commanders' last eight games.

Dean (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Dean was unable to play in Week 12 against the Rams due to a hip injury, so his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday is a good sign. The cornerback will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
