Tucker (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Tucker was on the field for 95 percent of the Raiders' snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns en route to recording three catches on a team-high 10 targets for 28 yards. Following a limited practice listing Wednesday, the wideout now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Raiders post their Week 13 injury designations Friday.

Jeanty (ankle) isn't listed on the Raiders' Week 13 injury report.

Field Yates of ESPN previously noted that Jeanty emerged from Week 12 action with an ankle injury that he sustained late in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns, a game in which the running back recorded an 81 percent snap share while carrying 17 times for 50 yards and catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a TD. On Monday, coach Pete Carroll indicated that he didn't believe Jeanty's ankle issue was anything severe, a notion that has now been confirmed by the fact that the Raiders' lead back is working without restrictions ahead of this weekend's game against the Chargers.

Highsmith (pectoral) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Highsmith has missed the past two games with a pectoral injury but managed to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The 28-year-old will look to make his return to the lineup during Sunday's matchup versus the Bills.

Heyward (ankle) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Heyward's practice status was likely precautionary, as he was also limited in practice last week before eventually playing in the team's Week 12 loss versus Chicago. The 36-year-old has recorded just 1.5 sacks so far this season but will look to be more productive Sunday versus the Bills.

Porter (hip) was a limited participant in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.

Porter's status comes as no surprise, as Mike Tomlin previously announced he would be limited in practice throughout the week. However, the 25-year-old is still expected to be good to go for Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

Skowronek (shoulder) didn't participate in Pittsburgh's practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Skowronek popped up on the injury report Wednesday, though it's unclear when he got hurt. The 28-year-old's availability in Thursday and Friday's practice sessions should provide more clarity on his status for Sunday's matchup versus the Bills.

Blankenship (thigh) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.

Blankenship sustained a thigh injury during the Week 12 loss versus Dallas and has now been limited in two straight practice sessions. While the 26-year-old will look to be good to go for Friday's game versus the Bears, Michael Carter should get the start at safety if Blankenship ends up being unable to play.

Gipson (shoulder) didn't participate in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.

Gipson has now missed two consecutive practices after suffering a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. Will Shipley should serve as the team's primary kick returner and Jahan Dotson should serve as the punt returner if Gipson is unable to suit up for Friday's matchup versus the Bears.

Irving (shoulder/foot) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

After being listed as limited on the Buccaneers' five previous injury reports, Irving finally was able to log an uncapped session to begin Week 13 prep, seemingly putting him on a path for his first game action since Week 4. He missed the last eight seven games due to a subluxation in his shoulder and a sprained left foot, so he may not take on his normal role as Tampa Bay's lead runner Sunday against the Cardinals. In such a scenario, fellow RBs Sean Tucker and Rachaad White would be available for any snaps and touches that don't go to Irving.

Cooper (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Green Bay's matchup against the Lions on Thursday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Cooper was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough but will continue to play through the foot injury that has plagued him since earlier in the season. Across his first 11 outings, the 24-year-old has totaled 72 tackles (43 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and will look to keep producing versus Detroit.
