Dalton (groin) practiced fully Thursday, ESPN's Coley Harvey reports.

Dalton was limited at Wednesday's practice, but Thursday's full participation presumably foreshadows a probable designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

As expected, Taylor (right shoulder) resumed throwing at practice Thursday, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports.

The report adds that Taylor, who noted Wednesday that he "kind of jammed" up his right shoulder "a little bit" Monday night against the Patriots, is expected to play Sunday against Chiefs, according to coach Rex Ryan. More on Taylor's Week 12 status no later than Friday, upon the release of the Bills' final injury report of the week.

Bradford (concussion/shoulder) is listed as inactive Thursday at Detroit, Geoff Mosher of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Although Bradford took part in a pregame warmup to test out his shoulder, he won't start and, in fact, not even suit up, missing his second consecutive contest. The Eagles will instead turn to Mark Sanchez under center.

The Eagles plan to start Mark Sanchez over Bradford (concussion, shoulder) at QB on Thursday against the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

It remains to be seen if Bradford -- who is officially listed as questionable for the contest -- will suit up as a backup Thursday, but it looks like he's in line to give way to Sanchez for the second straight game.

Hoyer (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday. He's expected to start Week 12 against the Saints.

Hoyer, who missed the last game and a half, has managed to avoid mistakes this season with just four interceptions and 13 touchdowns in seven games. This has the makings of a good week for Hoyer as New Orleans ranks last in scoring defense (31.5 ppg), overall defense (424.3 ypg) and passing touchdowns allowed (28).

Keenum (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Keenum's ability to take part in some individual drills indicates that he's progressing through the concussion protocol. An independent neurologist will ultimately be called upon to clear the quarterback for a return to the field, but the uncertain nature of concussions clouds whether he'll be able to do so this Sunday at Cincinnati. If he's deemed unready to suit up, Nick Foles will serve as the Rams' starting quarterback.

Dalton (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

We'll track Dalton's status in the coming days, but so far there is nothing at this stage to suggest that his status for Sunday's game against the Rams is in any danger.

Taylor (right shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, ESPN's Mike Rodak reports.

Per Rodak, Taylor relayed that he rested his shoulder Wednesday, but plans to resume throwing at Thursday's practice. Assuming that occurs without any setbacks, we'd expect the QB to remain on course to be able to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Bradford (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest in Detroit.

Bradford was knocked out of the Eagles' Week 10 tilt against the Dolphins with a concussion and AC joint sprain, the former of which didn't allow him to step foot on the practice field until Monday. He was able to build up to a full practice Wednesday, which wasn't a walk-through, according to Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Progressing to that point would seem to suggest that Bradford may be able to start, but both Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News speculated that he'll likely serve as Mark Sanchez's backup. Nevertheless, head coach Chip Kelly has an interesting decision to make in advance of Thursday's 4:30 PM ET kickoff.

Keenum (concussion) didn't take part in the Rams' light practice session Tuesday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

This comes as no surprise, as Keenum is in the early stages of his recovery from a concussion sustained during Sunday's loss at Baltimore. While head coach Jeff Fisher relayed that Keenum is "doing better" and is hopeful that he'll return to the practice field Wednesday, the quarterback's progress through the protocol for head injuries will ultimately determine when/if that comes to pass this week. Fisher has already said that Keenum will start once he's healthy enough to play, but Nick Foles will get the nod if Keenum is unable to suit up Sunday in Cincinnati.
