Evan Engram (Foot) Not Practicing Thursday
The Giants are likely without Evan Engram this week after the TE did not practice for the second straight day. It would be Engram’s second straight missed game and leave the Giants thin at TE, with Rhett Ellison also not expected to play. The Giants appear likely to be leaning on Kaden Smith and Scott Simonson to handle the TE duties Sunday.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Thursday that Rhett Ellison is unlikely to play Sunday. Ellison was not able to practice yesterday and remains in the concussion protocol.
As reported by: Dan Duggan Other tagged players: Evan Engram, Kaden Smith, Scott Simonson Top Overall Play If Howard Inactive
First it’s important to note that Miles Sanders being the top overall play on the slate is completely contingent on Jordan Howard’s availability. With that said, Sanders’ Week 11 usage was extremely encouraging despite disappointing fantasy owners with just 47 scoreless yards. Against New England, Sanders was on the field for 61-of-72 offensive snaps, carried the ball 11 times and saw four targets. If Sanders operates as the Eagles lead back once again against the Seahawks, 13 touches would be a very conservative touch projection with upside in the 20+ range if game-script breaks Philadelphia’s way.
Luke Willson (Hamstring) Does Not Practice, Tyler Lockett (Shin) Limited Wednesday
Luke Willson did not practice Wednesday, but coach Pete Carroll seemed optimistic today that Willson could play Sunday. He will still need to be monitored this week. Lockett practiced in a limited fashion, even though Carroll had said earlier today that Lockett would not practice. Either way, Lockett has a shot to play this week.
As reported by: Brady Henderson Other tagged players: Tyler Lockett Davante Adams (Toe) Limited, Robert Tonyan (Hip) Practices Fully Wednesday
Adams was limited Wednesday with his toe injury, but he should play this week without restriction. Tonyan was able to practice fully Wednesday, putting the TE on track to play for the first time since Week 5.
As reported by: Green Bay Packers Other tagged players: Robert Tonyan Raheem Mostert (Knee) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Given that Mostert played last week, his limited designation Wednesday is a positive sign that he will play again this week.
As reported by: Nick Wagoner Demaryius Thomas (Hamstring) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Thomas was limited in practice Wednesday. This is a hamstring issue he has been dealing with for several weeks and which has not kept him out of a game. He also no longer has his knee listed, so he seems to be getting healthier and likely to play.
As reported by: Vic Tafur Josh Jacobs (Shoulder) Limited in Raiders' Walkthrough Wednesday
Jacobs was limited Wednesday but expected to play this week. Given his heavy workload, the Raiders likely want to keep him as fresh as possible.
As reported by: Vic Tafur Tim Patrick (Shoulder) Does Not Practice; Phillip Lindsay (Foot/Wrist) Limited Wednesday
Tim Patrick returned from an eight-game absence last week due to a broken hand, but picked up a shoulder injury that held him out of practice Wednesday. The extent of the injury is not yet clear. Lindsay should play this week given his limited status Wednesday.
As reported by: Zac Stevens Other tagged players: Phillip Lindsay Adrian Peterson (Toe) Does Not Practice; Vernon Davis (Concussion), Paul Richardson (Hamstring) Limited Wednesday
Coach Callahan had said Peterson was getting a rest day, although he is officially listed with a toe injury. Davis has been out since Week 4, so his limited designation is not a positive sign for his status this week. Richardson was out last week and his status is not known yet.
As reported by: Kareem Copeland Other tagged players: Vernon Davis, Paul Richardson Matt Ryan (Ankle), Julio Jones (Foot), Devonta Freeman (Foot) and Austin Hooper (Knee) Do Not Practice Wednesday
The Falcons had several top offensive weapons not practicing Wednesday, putting their statuses into question. At this point, they need to be monitored on the Thursday and Friday injury reports.
As reported by: D. Orlando Ledbetter Other tagged players: Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Austin Hooper Chris Thompson (Toe) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Thompson took a step back towards returning from his toe injury that has kept him out since Week 6. His limited status Wednesday opens the door to a possible return this week, although he will now have to compete with Derrius Guice as well as Adrian Peterson for touches.
As reported by: John Keim Other tagged players: Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson Robert Woods (Personal) Has Not Rejoined Team
Robert Woods was out last week for a personal reason and has not rejoined the team. Woods can likely play with little or no practice, and the Rams do not play until Monday night, so he could still play.
As reported by: Lindsey Thiry Josh Hill (Concussion), Austin Carr (Ankle) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Hill will need to pass the concussion protocol before returning, so his status is in question. Carr has been out since Week 8, and his limited participation is a positive step towards playing. He started the two games prior to his injury, totaling 1 catch on 4 targets for 9 yards. He should not be expected to be a viable fantasy option.
