Knight (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Knight and Emari Demercado have been splitting the majority of the RB snaps since the Cardinals' Week 8 bye, with both players earning 22 touches over the last two games. Demercado has been far more effective with those reps, accruing 182 yards from scrimmage to Knight's 80 total yards. Knight exited this past Sunday's loss at Seattle with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, and he likely will need to log a full session Thursday and/or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Mims (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

It's his first full practice since suffering a concussion in the Week 8 win over Dallas. Mims is trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, but he'll likely be a part-time player behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps/routes.

Wicks (calf) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Wicks sat out Weeks 8 and 9 due to a calf injury but returned to action Monday against the Eagles, hauling in four of eight targets for 38 yards while playing 67 percent of the snaps. His return coincided with an absence from Matthew Golden (shoulder), and both of them plus Savion Williams (foot) logged capped sessions Wednesday, while Romeo Doubs (chest) was listed as full. In the end, the state of the Packers' receiving corps is up in the air ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Fairbairn (quad) didn't practice Wednesday.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Matthew Wright was signed to the Texans' active roster (from the practice squad) Saturday under the expectation that Fairbairn -- who was inactive Sunday against the Jaguars -- will need more than one week to heal up. Following a DNP on Wednesday, Fairbairn has two more chances to practice ahead of Week 11 action, but for now it looks like Wright is trending toward kicking again this weekend.

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

Golden has missed one game due to the shoulder injury that he sustained during a Week 9 loss to the Panthers. Coach Matt LaFleur told Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site on Wednesday that the team will "try to integrate him back into practice and see where he's at." A capped session to start Week 11 prep is a step in the right direction, but Golden likely will need to string together multiple practices in a row in order to gain clearance for game action Sunday at the Giants. Fellow WR Romeo Doubs (chest) was listed as full Wednesday, while Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) also were limited.

Schultz (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues last week, but now he's listed only with a shoulder injury on the Texans' initial Week 11 injury report. So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Titans is in danger, so it's possible that Schultz's absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related. A return to practice Thursday -- in any capacity -- would support that notion.

Doubs (chest) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Doubs made an early departure from Monday's loss to the Eagles due to a chest injury in the fourth quarter, but coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that the wide receiver "should be good to go" for Sunday's road matchup with the Giants. An uncapped session Wednesday seems to indicate as much for Doubs, while fellow WRs Matthew Golden (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) all were limited to begin Week 11 prep. The state of the Packers' receiving corps remains in flux for a second week in a row.

Jones (shoulder/toe) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Jones is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder and also a toe injury for a second week in a row, but he was able to play through them this past Sunday against the Ravens and turn 12 touches into 69 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason played second fiddle to Jones en route to five touches for 31 total yards. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Jones again enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears.

Likely (hip) was limited at practice Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Likely was on the field for 56 percent of the Ravens' snaps on offense in the team's Week 10 win over the Vikings, catching two of his four targets in the contest for 17 yards. The tight end has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, but Likely's fantasy impact has been modest most weeks while working in a timeshare that has favored fellow TE Mark Andrews.

Coach Sean McVay said Adams (oblique) won't practice Wednesday, but the Rams expect the veteran wide receiver to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Adams initially was diagnosed with a back injury after he pulled up while running a route in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at San Francisco. Afterward, McVay clarified that Adams instead sustained an oblique issue but could have returned if the game had been in question, per Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Adams may need to mix into drills at some point Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of Week 11 action.
