Lance (coach's decision) is inactive but available as the emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Lance will be the Cowboys' emergency quarterback for a fourth consecutive game. Lance will only be able to play if both Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush sustain injuries that force them to leave the game.

Herbert (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Herbert, who was also listed as limited Wednesday, previously noted that he is "doing everything he can" to play Sunday against the Chiefs despite having aggravated his high right ankle sprain during Week 3 action, per Kris Rhim of ESPN. With the Chargers on bye in Week 5, Herbert acknowledged Wednesday that the team has had discussions about him possibly sitting out Sunday in order to rest his ankle, but the QB noted he doesn't "think that's the way we're heading." Friday's injury report will add further context regarding Herbert's Week 4 status, but chances are, he'll head into the weekend listed as questionable. Taylor Heinicke would presumably start versus Kansas City in the event Herbert ends up being deemed unavailable for Los Angeles' 4:25 ET contest.

Love (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "We'll see," head coach Matt LaFleur said, when asked about Love's status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. "We'll give him up to game time."

Love continues to work his way back from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he sustained in the Sept. 6 loss to the Eagles, and he looks to have a chance at meeting the short end of his projected 3-to-6-week recovery timeline. He's now been listed as a limited participant in six consecutive practices, and while the Packers haven't indicated that Love has experienced any setbacks with his left knee, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid being viewed as anything more than a game-time call leading up to Sunday. Malik Willis has presided over the Green Bay offense for the last two games and will stay prepared for another start under center this weekend if the Packers' franchise signal-caller isn't cleared to return to the lineup.

Thompson (ribs) will practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he hasn't yet named a starting quarterback for Monday's game against the Titans, and that the rib injury that forced Thompson out of the team's Week 3 loss to the Seahawks could still limit his effectiveness. McDaniel said he's also encouraged by the progress Tyler Huntley has made picking up the offense so far, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, and that both he and Tim Boyle will get opportunities in practice to try and command the offense. It sounds like a final decision on the Dolphins' starter for Week 4 won't arrive until the team has a had a chance to monitor all options at the position in practice.

Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Herbert said Wednesday that his ankle feels better than it did at this stage last week, while adding that he's feeling "less pain" and was able to do some 7-on-7 work during his limited session. Though the Chargers are on bye Week 5 and could benefit from having Herbert get some extended rest for the ankle injury he aggravated in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers, the quarterback acknowledged that he "doesn't think" he'll be held out this Sunday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Chargers will see how Herbert's ankle holds up in practices the next two days before potentially giving him a designation heading into Sunday.

Love (knee), who was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, said he was "pretty close" to playing this past Sunday in Tennessee, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Love was able to parlay three limited sessions last week into a questionable designation for the Week 3 contest, and he even put in a lengthy pregame warmup prior to the Packers issuing their list of inactives ahead of Sunday's game. Still, the team exercised caution with its franchise quarterback and rolled with quarterback Malik Willis, who was able to secure a second victory in as many chances in place of Love. On Wednesday, Love noted that "every day is a little bit better," with regard to his recovery from the Grade 1-to-2 MCL sprain he suffered in the Packers' season-opening loss to the Eagles. He also relayed that he's "definitely" moving around better, which was corroborated by Ryan Wood of USA Today. Love will have two more opportunities to get back to full practice participation this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Darnold (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Darnold emerged from Sunday's win against the Texans with a bone bruise in his left knee. When speaking to the media Wednesday, Darnold said he's taking the injury "one day at a time" and also had a sleeve to protect his left leg, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. With an uncapped session under his belt, Darnold seemingly is good to go for Sunday's contest at Green Bay, but whether or not he has wideout Jordan Addison (ankle) -- who was limited Wednesday -- at his disposal for the first time since Week 1 remains to be seen.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy (back) will be a full practice participant Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Shanahan revealed Monday that Purdy was tending to back soreness in the wake of this past Sunday's road loss to the Rams, and while he considered the quarterback day-to-day, the injury won't affect Purdy's practice reps to kick off Week 4 prep. Purdy thus is in line to continue leading the 49ers offense Sunday against the Patriots, but the skill-position players available to him remain up in the air. Running back Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) is on injured reserve for the foreseeable future, wideout Deebo Samuel (calf) won't practice Wednesday, and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) will be a limited participant, which leaves receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings and running back Jordan Mason as the 49ers' healthy weapons for the time being.

Wilson (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Wilson's injured calf reportedly is improving, but he still hasn't managed full practice participation since Week 1 and may have to settle for a backup role to Justin Fields once he's 100 percent healthy. The Steelers are preparing Fields to make his fourth consecutive start this Sunday at Indianapolis.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Love (knee) practiced in a limited capacity and is making progress, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Love is still practicing with his left knee wrapped, per Ryan Wood of USA Today, but the quarterback showed improved mobility in Wednesday's session. The Packers haven't yet announced whether Love or backup Malik Willis will start Sunday's game against the Vikings, but it's encouraging to see the franchise quarterback progressing as expected. Love will have two more opportunities to upgrade to full participation in practice, and Green Bay may not make a final decision on a Week 4 starter until after Friday's session.
