Brown was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant due to a quadriceps injury, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

With Zack Moss recovering from a foot injury, there's been some thought Brown could take on a huge workload this Sunday against the Giants. That's still a possibility, only now there's another variable. The Bengals' No. 3 running back, Trayveon Williams, has largely been a special teams player throughout his six-year pro career.

Warren (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official reports.

Per Missi Matthews of the team's official site, coach Mike Tomlin indicated earlier this week that Warren was doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, but the running back's limited participation Wednesday and Thursday offers some hope that he could be available this weekend. In any case, Friday's final injury report will clarify Warren's official Week 6 designation.

Ekeler (heel) practiced in full Thursday.

Ekeler followed up Wednesday's capped session with all activity one day later, indicating his heel issue isn't too much of a concern. At the same time, fellow RB Brian Robinson has yet to practice this week due to a lingering knee injury. Robinson was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Browns, but snaps and touches were spread among him, Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols. A similar breakdown of reps between the trio is likely to occur Sunday in Baltimore if Robinson again is active.

Robinson (knee) didn't practice Thursday.

With back-to-back absences to begin Week 6 prep due to a lingering knee issue, Robinson has just one more chance to mix into drills before week's end. Having said that, he followed a similar practice regimen last week before returning as limited Friday, getting tagged as questionable and eventually being active this past Sunday against the Browns. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Robinson has a designation ahead of Sunday's contest at Baltimore. Meanwhile, fellow running back Austin Ekeler (heel) practiced in full Thursday, leaving him and Jeremy McNichols as the Commanders' current healthy options in the backfield.

Robinson was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Robinson also tended to a hamstring issue in advance of last Thursday's overtime win against the Buccaneers, so his addition to the Falcons' injury report midweek may be maintenance-related. He was able to handle a typical workload Week 5 en route to 15 touches for 77 yards from scrimmage, but it remains to be seen if he'll avoid a game designation for a second week in a row.

Taylor (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Taylor -- who missed this past Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Jaguars -- is feeling "way better" relative to last week. After having missed back-to-back practices, though, what (if anything) he's able to do Friday will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up this weekend against the Titans. Meanwhile, top backup Trey Sermon (collarbone) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Sermon (collarbone) was a full practice participant Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Sermon is on track to lead the Colts' backfield for a second straight week this Sunday against the Titans, as Jonathan Taylor (ankle) still hasn't returned to practice. Sermon played 58 percent of snaps in a 37-34 loss to Jacksonville this Sunday, turning 10 carries and six targets into 63 yards and a touchdown while Tyler Goodson had 57 yards on five carries and three targets.

Singletary (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Singletary now has cobbled together back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 6 prep, which is one more limited practice than he managed last week before he was deemed doubtful and eventually inactive this past Sunday at Seattle due to a groin injury. Friday's practice report ultimately will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Cook (toe) didn't practice Thursday.

Cook did some work on a side field but was then held out of practice for a second straight day, leaving his availability for Monday's game against the Jets in doubt. He'll have two more chances to practice before the game, with Ty Johnson and Ray Davis positioned for more snaps and touches if Cook doesn't end up playing. Davis played only three snaps in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Houston, but he might be the lead runner if Cook is inactive, as Johnson mostly has been used on passing downs throughout this pro career.

Kamara (hip/hand) was present at Thursday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Kamara missed the first session of Week 4 prep, something that was replicated to begin this week, but it appears as if Wednesday's absence was more maintenance-related than anything as he tends to hip and hand injuries. Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work he was able to handle.
