Jacobs (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Schneidmann suggests Jacobs' absence is likely just maintenance for the knee injury that he played through the past two games (after missing Week 12). Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that Jacobs was riding a stationary bike and doing work off to the side while his teammates practiced Wednesday. A return to practice Thursday would confirm that Jacobs is on track to play through the knee injury again.

Nunez-Roches (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Nunez-Roches wasn't listed on New York's injury report prior to the team's Week 13 loss to the Patriots, so he may have suffered his ankle injury during the team's Week 14 bye. If Nunez-Roches isn't healthy enough to play Sunday versus the Commanders, rookie third-round pick Darius Alexander will inherit an expanded role on defense.

Coach Sean McVay said Adams missed Wednesday's walkthrough to rest his hamstring, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

Adams also was listed as a DNP last Wednesday before getting back on the field as limited Thursday and logging a full practice Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 14 action. His TD streak came to an end this past Sunday in Arizona, which marked his first outing without an end-zone visit since Week 6. Considering McVay's comment, Adams likely will follow a similar practice regimen this week, especially with two games in five days between Weeks 15 and 16.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from injured reserve this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Atwell is approaching the end of his 21-day practice window, which means he either needs to be activated to the roster or ruled out on IR for the rest of the season. The Rams plan to activate him following two straight weeks of full participation in every practice. The decision to not activate Atwell earlier suggests he's unlikely to have a major role down the stretch.

Zaccheaus was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Recently demoted to the No. 4 WR role, Zaccheaus filled in for Rome Odunze (heel) during Sunday's 28-21 loss at Green Bay, catching two of three targets for seven yards and a TD while handling a 78 percent offensive snap share and 83 percent route share. Odunze was also a limited practice participant Wednesday, putting Chicago's WR corps in flux ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns.

Odunze (foot) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After missing all three Week 14 practices and being ruled out for this past Sunday's game at Green Bay, Odunze was revealed to be dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that left him week-to-week, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Such a prognosis, even from an NFL insider, typically results in a multi-game absence, but Odunze's listing to start Week 15 prep indicates he has a chance to return Sunday against the Browns. How he fares in practice Thursday and Friday likely will be key in that regard.

Gould (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

Gould was forced out of Indianapolis' game against the Jaguars in Week 14 early due to a foot injury, and he's not yet ready to practice. In the event that Gould isn't able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Josh Downs and Ameer Abdullah will be candidates to see expanded work in the return game.

Demercado (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Demercado has missed the past three games due to a high-ankle sprain and hasn't yet progressed enough in his recovery to log a full practice. He'll have two more opportunities to do so the week before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's contest at Houston. Coach Jonathan Gannon announced earlier Wednesday that Trey Benson (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve, meaning his season is over. If Demercado puts himself in a position to return to action this weekend, he'd join Bam Knight and Michael Carter as options out of Arizona's backfield.

The Patriots activated Corbin (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Thursday.

Corbin was placed on the inured list late October and he's now healthy. The depth running back hasn't yet suited up for a game with New England this season, but he made six regular-season appearances with the Giants in 2024, mostly contributing on special teams.

Harrison (heel) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Harrison remains sidelined due to the heel injury he picked up in the fourth quarter of a Week 13 loss at Tampa Bay. With Harrison out again this past Sunday against the Rams -- like in Weeks 11-12 when he was unavailable following an appendectomy -- fellow WR Michael Wilson again went off, hauling in 11 of 16 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Joining Harrison as a DNP on Wednesday was Xavier Weaver (hamstring), meaning Wilson and Andre Baccellia are the only healthy wide receivers on the Cardinals' active roster at the moment.
