Pickens (knee/calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
The limited session represents a step forward for Pickens after he was gauged as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, but the wideout is still having his reps monitored carefully on a short week. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that he still anticipates Pickens playing Thursday against Kansas City.
