The Raiders signed Jackson from their practice squad to their active roster Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jackson had already been elevated from the practice squad three times, so this move was necessary in order for him to suit up for the Raiders again this season. In his three contests with the club, the Auburn product has logged nine offensive snaps and caught his only target for a 25-yard touchdown. For the final two games of the campaign, Jackson should serve as a depth wideout and contribute on special teams.

Kincaid (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

The same applies to fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee), though it's possible that both of their DNPs were maintenance-related. Kincaid -- who has been managing a knee issue -- was also deemed a non-participant both last Wednesday and Thursday before working fully Friday and approaching Week 16 action without an injury designation. A repeat of that pattern is plausible ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

The Cowboys placed Guyton (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Guyton missed the Cowboys' last four games while nursing an ankle injury. His placement on injured reserve means the second-year offensive lineman will miss the final two games of the regular season, and he'll shift his focus toward being available for the minicamp in the offseason. Nate Thomas will continue to hold down the fort at left tackle in Guyton's absence.

Las Vegas placed Chinn (back) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chinn played almost every defensive snap in each of the Raiders' first 15 games, but he's been dealing with a back injury for most of December. Las Vegas is firmly in the hunt for the No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL Draft and has no reason to expose Chinn to potentially worsening the issue, so the team has chosen to shut him down. Chinn will end the campaign with 114 tackles (including 1.0 sacks), two forced fumbles and two defensed passes.

Poyer (hamstring) was a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran from Oregon State was deemed day-to-day with a hamstring issue following the Week 16 win over the Browns, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. Poyer has been an integral part of Buffalo's secondary this season, recording 70 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, over 10 appearances. If he's sidelined for the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles, Jordan Hancock will likely operate as the Bills' top strong safety.

Allen (foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through.

EDGE Analysis

Allen now has two more chances to upgrade his practice participation level before the Bills assign their Week 17 injury designations Friday. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN, the QB -- who is dealing with soreness in his right foot -- said Tuesday that he "will be playing, (is) planning on playing," in Sunday's game against the Eagles. However, such an outcome hinges on Allen avoiding any setbacks in the coming days.

Thompson (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Thompson sustained a neck injury during the first quarter of the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, which prevented him from returning to the game. His ability to practice in a limited capacity -- albeit in a walkthrough -- indicates the veteran linebacker is day-to-day. Thompson would likely need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Prater (quadriceps) was labeled as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Prater missed Buffalo's win over the Browns this past Sunday while dealing with a quad injury. Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that it's unclear if the veteran kicker will be able to return Sunday versus the Eagles, and his DNP status for Wednesday's walkthrough doesn't provide much insight in that regard. If Prater is unable to play against Philadelphia, Michael Badgley would likely handle kicking duties again.

Phillisp (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips sustained an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots, which caused him to miss this past Sunday's victory over the Browns. His DNP to open the week isn't a good sign, but he would give himself a chance to play this Sunday against the Eagles if he were to log at least a limited practice Friday.

Jones (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old played through his calf issue in the Week 16 win over the Browns, recording four total tackles and an interception across 41 defensive snaps. Jones likely needs to upgrade to full practice participation Thursday or Friday in order to avoid an injury designation in the Week 17 matchup against the Eagles on Sunday.
