McMillan (foot/ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

McMillan sat out Carolina's first Week 16 practice, but he was able to take every rep Thursday to clear up any lingering doubt about his availability for a critical matchup Sunday versus the 7-7 Buccaneers, who currently hold the tiebreaker over the 7-7 Panthers for the division lead. The rookie first-round pick has yet to miss a game this season and has produced a 59-851-6 receiving line on 102 targets through Carolina's first 14 contests.

Ogbongbemiga (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Ogbongbemiga upgraded to a limited practice session Thursday after having been listed as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he nonetheless won't suit up Week 16. With Ogbongbemiga unavailable Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Noah Sewell will be candidates to handle expanded depth roles on defense.

Edmunds (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers after practicing fully Thursday.

Edmunds' full participation Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Saturday's pivotal matchup, but the linebacker would first need to be added back to the roster from injured reserve in order to be eligible to play. His practice window to return from IR was opened Monday, and Edmunds subsequently put forth a pair of limited practices before upgrading to full participation Thursday.

Conner signed with the Giants' practice squad Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Conner lands with the Giants organization one day after being cut from Miami's practice squad. He has nine receptions for 91 yards in nine games with the Dolphins this season and has appeared in 33 regular-season games split across four seasons in Miami.

Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Packers.

Swift showed up on the Bears' Week 16 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a groin injury and maintained that activity level one day later. His status now won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Swift is inhibited or even sidelined, Kyle Monangai would be poised for a larger workload out of Chicago's backfield.

Burden (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Packers.

Since injuring his ankle during this past Sunday's win against the Browns, Burden wasn't able to practice in any capacity and now will miss his second contest of the campaign. He'll be joining Rome Odunze (foot) on the sidelined Saturday, while Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay will take on expanded roles alongside DJ Moore. Burden's next chance to play is Sunday, Dec. 28 in San Francisco.

Bethune (ankle) will be limited at practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Bethune last suited up in Week 11, but his ability to practice in some capacity Thursday suggests he has made progress in his recovery. He would return to the starting middle linebacker role if cleared to play Monday against the Colts. Bethune has two more opportunities to upgrade to full participation in practice.

Kmet (ankle/knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Kmet was limited during Tuesday's walk-through practice and during Wednesday's session, but after logging a full practice Thursday, he said afterward that he plans to play Saturday, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. That said, official word on Kmet's status may not arrive until the Bears release their inactive list roughly 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. If he suits up against Green Bay, Kmet will contribute at tight end alongside rookie Colston Loveland.

Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers.

Both Odunze and fellow WR Luther Burden (ankle) won't be available for Week 16 action after not practicing in any capacity this week. Odunze himself had been playing through a stress fracture in his foot for a good portion of the season before logging what now will be a third straight absence. His next chance to suit up is Sunday, Dec. 28 at San Francisco. His absence versus Green Bay, along with that of Burden, should lead to Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay seeing added WR snaps alongside DJ Moore.

McDuffie (knee) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

McDuffie also sat out practice Wednesday, and he looks to be trending toward a second consecutive absence after sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Chargers, which eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. If McDuffie remains sidelined Sunday against the Titans, Nohl Williams would be in line to start at outside cornerback.
