Morris (ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Morris was bothered by a groin injury that cost him two games earlier in the season. It's unclear if the ankle injury will jeopardize his status for a Week 15 matchup against the Jets. Morris has primarily contributed as a blocker and on special teams this season.

McConkey (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

McConkey was on the field for 86 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles en route to catching just one of his five targets for 12 yards. Assuming the wideout's foot issue doesn't affect his Week 15 status, McConkey is a bounce-back candidate Sunday against the Chiefs, with QB Justin Herbert, who played through a left hand injury versus Philadelphia, noting Wednesday that he's in a healthier spot than he was this time last week.

Hockenson was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury.

Hockenson logged his lowest snap share (56 percent) in a game this season this past Sunday against the Commanders, but he salvaged his two-catch, 12-yard day with a TD among his three targets. Perhaps the shin issue was to blame, but in any case, his status now will be monitored as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday in Dallas. Josh Oliver is the next TE up in Minnesota if Hockenson needs to miss any time.

Jones did not practice Wednesday due to a rib injury.

Jones logged an 80 percent defensive snap share against the Vikings this past Sunday but appears to have picked up an injury along the way. His level of participation in practice the remainder of the week should reveal if he's in danger of missing Sunday's clash against the Giants. Should Jones be unable to suit up in that game, Noah Igbinoghene could see more opportunities on defense.

Wagner (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.

Wagner has been managing a knee injury since last week. He logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression during Week 14 prep but was ultimately able to play Sunday versus Minnesota and had another big game with 16 tackles. Unless Wagner suffered a setback in that contest, he seems likely to suit up this Sunday versus the Giants, though his participation level Thursday and Friday should shed more light on his status.

Weaver (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Both Weaver and Marvin Harrison (heel) sat out drills to begin Week 14 prep, meaning Michael Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy wide receivers on the Cardinals' active roster at the moment. The team elevated Jalen Brooks and Trent Sherfield from the practice squad for this past Sunday's game against the Rams, and similar transactions likely will come to pass if one or both of Harrison and Weaver are sidelined again Sunday at Houston. Ultimately, Weaver likely will need to practice Thursday and/or Friday in order to have a chance to suit up this weekend.

Thibodeaux (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Thibodeaux's last game action took place in Week 10 against Chicago. He hasn't practiced since, and his continued absence following New York's Week 14 bye doesn't bode well for his chance of returning to action this Sunday against the Commanders. Still, the Giants have opted to not put Thibodeaux on IR to this point, suggesting that they believe he isn't going to remain out for a substantial amount of additional time.

Bryant (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

A hamstring issue limited Bryant this past Thursday and Friday, but the wideout approached Week 14 action without an injury designation before recording a 47 percent offensive snap share in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders, a game in which he caught all four of his targets for 32 yards. With no reported setbacks, it's possible that Bryant's DNP on Wednesday was maintenance-related. Added context on that front will arrive via the Broncos' next injury report.

Olszewski (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Olszewski suffered a concussion in Week 13 against New England after taking a big helmet-to-helmet hit on a kick return. Despite New York being on bye last week, the return specialist hasn't yet reached the point that he's ready to practice. Olszewski will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before he's able to return to game action, and if he can't play this Sunday versus the Commanders, Devin Singletary, Eric Gray and Jalin Hyatt are candidates to cover his role in the return game.

Addison was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Since making his season debut Week 4 following a three-game suspension to begin the campaign, Addison was on point with an 18-283-1 line on 26 targets in his first three appearances. Since then uneven QB play for the Vikings has impacted all members of the offense, with Addison managing just a 19-227-2 line on 44 targets over the last 10 contests. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of missing Sunday's road matchup with the Cowboys.
