Demarcus Robinson WR | LAR
Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Limited Wednesday
Robinson (hand) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Robinson exited in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win at New Orleans with a hand injury, emerging from Week 13 with two catches (on three targets) for 49 yards and one touchdown. He's made end-zone visits in bunches this season, with two apiece Weeks 8 and 9, while he's currently on another two-game streak with TDs. In order to have a chance to produce again Sunday against the Bills, Robinson may have to get back to full participation by week's end.

DK Metcalf WR | SEA
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Still bothered by shoulder issue
Metcalf was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Metcalf was absent for two plays during this past Sunday's win at the Jets due to a knee issue, which he touched on Wednesday. "My foot went numb," he told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. "(A doctor) came over, said what's wrong?" The situation was the result of a nerve in Metcalf's knee getting hit, causing the numbing sensation in his foot. Fortunately for the wide receiver, it was a temporary concern, while the shoulder issue that impacted his practice reps last week continues to bother him. Metcalf will have sessions Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Logs limited practice Wednesday
McConkey (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
With McConkey currently tending to a pair of injury concerns, his status is worth tracking as Sunday night's game against the Chiefs approaches. Ideally the wideout will practice fully by Friday and avoid a Week 14 injury designation, given the Chargers' late kickoff, but if McConkey is limited or out this weekend, added snaps would be available for some combination of Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis and DJ Chark.

Britain Covey WR | PHI
Eagles' Britain Covey: Estimated as DNP
Covey (neck) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Covey suffered a neck injury during a punt return in the second half of the Eagles' 24-19 win over the Ravens this past Sunday. Although the Eagles' session Wednesday was a walkthrough, his DNP still doesn't bode well for his chances of playing against the Panthers on Sunday. Covey will have to return to practice over the next two days in order to have a chance at suiting up for Week 14.

Johnny Wilson WR | PHI
Eagles' Johnny Wilson: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Wilson (hamstring) was listed as an estimated practice participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Wilson appeared on the Eagles' injury report late last week due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined for Philadelphia's 24-19 win over Baltimore this past Sunday. Wednesday's practice was a walkthrough, so Wilson will have to participate in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the Panthers on Sunday.

DeVonta Smith WR | PHI
Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Gets back to full Wednesday
Smith (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Smith logged his first uncapped session of any type due to a lingering hamstring injury that sidelined him for the Eagles' past two games. He thus is poised to return to action Sunday against the Panthers, and he could be in line for an elevated role with TE Dallas Goedert week-to-week due to a knee issue. In nine appearances this season, Smith has compiled a 38-441-2 line on 46 targets.

Tyreek Hill WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Hill was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a combination of rest and a wrist issue.
Hill continues to manage a wrist issue that he's been playing through, so his non-participation in Wednesday's session is most likely maintenance-related. In Miami's 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving, Hill logged an 80 percent snap share en route to catching six of his nine targets for 83 yards and a touchdown.

Bub Means WR | NO
Saints' Bub Means: Returns to practice
Means (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
This opens a 21-day window in which Means can practice without being placed on the active roster. He may have a large role once he's deemed healthy, having stepped in as a starter prior to suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 8. Rashid Shaheed suffered a season-ending knee injury around the same time, and Chris Olave later landed on injured reserve with a concussion. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kevin Austin have taken most of the WR snaps for New Orleans in recent weeks.

Jamari Thrash WR | CLE
Browns' Jamari Thrash: Estimated as DNP on Wednesday
Thrash (shoulder) was listed as DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The Browns held a walkthrough after Monday night's back-and-forth affair with the Broncos. Thrash was injured against Denver, leaving his status for Week 14 versus Pittsburgh unclear. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) still working his way back, Cleveland could use more of Michael Woods and Kadarius Toney behind Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore if Tillman is unable to play.
-
Elijah Moore WR | CLE
Browns' Elijah Moore: Listed with minor shoulder injury
Moore (shoulder) was estimated as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
The Browns listed Moore with a shoulder injury for Week 12 but not Week 13, and he continued riding the Jameis Winston wave with season highs for receiving yards (111) and targets (14) in a 41-32 loss at Denver on Sunday. Moore is averaging 5.6 catches for 62.2 yards on 9.6 targets in Winston's starts, albeit with just one TD in five games. Week 14 could be another busy one for Moore and Jerry Jeudy, especially if fellow wideout Cedric Tillman missed a second straight game in concussion protocol (Tillman was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough).
