Johnson was reportedly at practice but then sent home with said illness. Assuming it’s nothing too serious, we’d expect Johnson to be ready to go for Week 13 against the Cardinals. In his first game sans Matt Canada, Johnson caught four passes for 50 yards on eight targets while narrowly missing a touchdown. He’ll be a top-24 fantasy play against the Cardinals if he’s able to go.

Reed has yet to practice this week and is trending toward missing Sunday’s contest against the Chiefs. Reed has had an impressive rookie season, catching 36 passes for 497 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 13.8 YPR. He’s caught four or more passes in each of his last three games while finding the end zone twice. He’d be a fringe WR3/WR4 in Week 13 if he’s able to suit up.

An injury-plagued season for Jones rolls on. He’s now missed two straight practices to open the week and is trending toward missing a second-consecutive game after being sidelined with an MCL sprain in Week 12. Jones has played in seven of the Packers’ 11 games this season but hasn’t topped 100 yards from scrimmage since Week 1. In fact, he’s gone for 60 or more total yards just once in his last six games. Jones will be turning 29 at the end of this week. Already on the wrong side of the age apex, we could be witnessing the inevitable decline of the veteran back.

Dillon was absent from Wednesday’s practice but was back on the field Thursday. Yesterday’s absence was likely a load management day, as the Packers are thin at running back and can ill afford to lose Dillon for an extended time. With Aaron Jones (knee) missing his second practice of the week, there’s a good chance Dillon will step into a lead role against the Chiefs. The volume alone should make Dillon a top-24 play if Jones is sidelined.

An Achilles injury is always concerning, although we haven’t received any news to suggest it’s worse than a minor issue. Mingo totaled 60 yards in last week’s loss to the Titans in a season that has been one of growth for the rookie. He’s surpassed 60 yards only twice in 10 games and is off the fantasy radar. We’ll see if anything else emerges regarding his Achilles injury, but for now, it appears minor.

Higgins is dealing with a hamstring injury that has sidelined him each of the last three weeks. A return to practice on Thursday is a step in the right direction and could signal a return as early as this week. We’ll see how he fares over the next two days, but his return will be a welcomed addition to a Bengals offense that’s short on playmakers — particularly at quarterback. If he’s active against the Jaguars, Higgins will be hard to trust as anything more than a WR3 with Jake Browning at the helm.

Schultz has yet to practice this week and is trending on the wrong side of playing in Week 13 against the Broncos. A return to the field on Friday will go a long way in helping us project his availability this weekend, but even if he’s active, he could be hard to trust against a stout Broncos defense. In addition to a challenging matchup on paper, Schultz played on just 48 percent of the Texans’ snaps in last week’s loss to the Jaguars and finished with one reception for two yards on two targets. His decline in playing time came in the same week Brevin Jordan returned from injured reserve, which could indicate a growing trend in weeks both players are active.

Head coach Doug Pederson said earlier that Etienne is considered “day-to-day” with his chest injury. Pederson said Etienne would be present at Thursday’s practice, but ESPN’s Michael DiRocco reported Etienne wasn’t spotted at the portion of practice open to the media. We’ll see how the team lists him on their injury report, which will be their first of the week, as the Jaguars aren’t slated to play until Monday. Even if he doesn’t practice on Thursday, it’d be premature to press the panic button on Etienne after just one practice.

Wilson is at risk of missing his third-straight game after logging back-to-back DNPs to open the week. The rookie receiver has 28 receptions for 435 yards and two touchdowns this season, but has been plagued by a nagging shoulder injury since Week 8. Unless he gets on the practice field Friday, we can safely assume Wilson won’t be playing in Week 13 against the Steelers.

It’s possible the Cardinals are taking it easy with Brown, who has yet to practice this week. Despite missing practices last Thursday and Friday, Brown still managed to suit up on game day and managed six receptions for 88 yards on 12 targets. His situation is certainly one to monitor, although we’ll know more once the team announces game statuses before the weekend.
