Julio Jones (Shoulder) Limited; Luke Stocker (Hip), Kenjon Barner (Shoulder, Knee) Do Not Practice Wednesday
Julio Jones was limited Wednesday but is expected to play this week. The Falcons will likely be careful with him in practice for the rest of the season. Stocker and Barner both need to be monitored after not practicing Wednesday.
As reported by: Vaughn McClure Other tagged players: Luke Stocker, Kenjon Barner Bilal Powell (Ankle) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Bilal Powell was limited in practice Wednesday, a positive sign for his ability to play this week. He missed the Jets’ last game, and backup RB Ty Montgomery got just 2 carries. Even if healthy, Powell’s role is limited behind Le’Veon Bell.
As reported by: Pittsburgh Steelers Other tagged players: Ty Montgomery Bo Scarbrough (Ribs) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Scarbrough was limited Wednesday, a step towards playing Sunday. He was held out of the last game with a rib injury, giving Wes Hills a shot at being the lead back. Hills did score two TDs, but his 21 yards on 10 rush attempts and 1 yard on 2 catches were not overwhelming. Kerryon Johnson is expected to return to action this week and be involved at RB for the Lions, limiting all other RB’s value.

Jacobs has been ruled out for Sunday, with the Raiders hoping he can return for Week 17. Deandre Washington had 14 carries and 7 targets when Jacobs missed Week 14, and he projects as the top back for the Raiders this week. Jalen Richard will also get touches as the backup RB.

Conner is no longer listed on the injury report, a positive sign that he did not aggravate anything last game. He looked good in his return, although his 12 touches did limit his upside.

As expected, Smith-Schuster is testing his knee in practice this week. We won’t know his status until closer to the end of the week. McDonald took a step forward by practicing fully, meaning he will play this week if he can clear the concussion protocol.

Agholor did not practice Wednesday as he continues working through the knee injury that has kept him out of the past two games. Howard was limited, but he has been limited in recent weeks and not played since Week 9. Until he is cleared for contact and practicing fully, it is hard to see Howard returning.

Humphries did not practice Wednesday, putting his status for Sunday in doubt. He has missed the past two games, and he isn’t likely to return unless he progresses in practice this week.
As reported by: Turron Davenport Derrick Henry (Hamstring), Corey Davis (Ankle), Kalif Raymond (Knee) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Henry, Davis and Raymond were all limited in practice Wednesday. All three are still expected to play this week.
As reported by: Turron Davenport Other tagged players: Corey Davis, Kalif Raymond Taylor Gabriel (Concussion) Does Not Practice Wednesday
Gabriel did not practice Wednesday, putting him on track to miss his fourth straight game. He will need to both progress in practice and clear the concussion protocol before he can return. Anthony Miller and Allen Robinson have been elite over the past three weeks, both totaling at least 20 catches, 250 yards and 3 TDs.

Olsen cleared concussion protocol Monday and practiced fully Wednesday. He will return after missing the past two games, moving Ian Thomas back into the backup role. RB Reggie Bonnafon did not practice with an undisclosed illness. As the backup to Christian McCaffrey, Bonnafon rarely sees the field.

Although he has not been placed on injured reserve, Green said Wednesday that he will not play this season. The star WR will end the season without playing a snap.
As reported by: Marisa Contipelli Rhett Ellison (Concussion) Practices Fully Wednesday
Ellison took a step forward Wednesday in his return from a concussion, practicing fully. He has not played since Week 10, but he should play this week if he can clear the concussion protocol. With Evan Engram already on injured reserve, Kaden Smith has been left as the Giants’ top TE. Smith’s value would take a hit if Ellison returns this week.
As reported by: Dan Salomone Other tagged players: Kaden Smith Daniel Jones (Ankle) Practices Fully Wednesday
Jones practiced fully Wednesday, indicating that he has recovered from his ankle injury. The Giants have not made an official announcement, but it is likely that Jones starts this week after missing the past two games. Eli Manning would return to the backup QB role.
