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

The Giants continue to take it easy on Robinson's practice reps due to the torn ACL that he suffered in his right knee Nov. 20 of last year. Almost one year removed from the injury, he's still been able to suit up for eight consecutive games, but he's notched just 29 catches and five carries en route to 229 yards from scrimmage and one receiving touchdown. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he heads into the weekend with an injury designation for Sunday's contest in Washington.

Sherfield (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Sherfield exited Monday night's loss to the Broncos just ahead of halftime and wasn't able to return, and he then missed Wednesday's practice. If Sherfield is able to practice again Friday, it would give him a decent shot to play Sunday against the Jets.

Shenault (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Shenault was able to log limited practices both Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to nurse an ankle injury that's held him out of Carolina's last three games. The 2020 second-round pick out of Colorado will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to log a full practice Friday.

Allen (shoulder) was present for Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Allen didn't practice Wednesday, but his return for Thursday's session is a step in the right direction. On Wednesday, head coach Brandon Staley said that he's hopeful Allen will be able to play this weekend against the Packers, but it's not yet clear whether the wideout will head into the matchup with or without an injury designation.

Johnson (thumb) participated in Thursday's practice, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Johnson sat out Wednesday's session, but the wideout's return to the field a day later is a positive sign with regard to his chances of playing in Sunday's game against the Browns. The Steelers' second Week 11 injury report will be released later Thursday and will reveal the extent of Johnson's practice participation.

Pascal (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Pascal suffered the injury in the Cardinals' Week 10 win over the Falcons and was unable to return to the contest. The Old Dominion product now appears in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Texans, but he'll have another chance to get on the field and practice with the team Friday.

Brown (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Brown -- who is coming off back-to-back productive outings -- also was absent from Wednesday's session, so what he's able to do Friday could be pivotal with regard to his chances of being available Sunday against the Cardinals. On the plus side for the Texans, Nico Collins (calf) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, while Robert Woods (foot) was back on the field Thursday, per Wilson.

Cracraft (shoulder) isn't listed on the Dolphins' Week 11 injury report.

Cracraft was returned to the 53-man roster Tuesday, as his 21-day window to practice with the team after being designated to return from injured reserve was nearing an end. While practicing within that 21-day window, the wideout never managed more than limited participation, but he's apparently returned to full activity coming out of the Dolphins' Week 10 bye. With Braxton Berrios (hamstring) and Chase Claypool (knee) both uncertain to play Sunday against the Raiders, Cracraft could immediately step in as Miami's No. 3 or 4 receiver. Cracraft was valued mostly for his skills as a blocker, but he also contributed a 6-87-1 receiving line on eight targets over his first three games before landing on IR.

Woods (foot) was spotted at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Woods didn't practice Wednesday, but his return a day later hints at his absence being maintenance related. Thursday's injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level in the team's second practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Claypool (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Claypool also didn't practice Wednesday, so the wideout likely will need to work in some capacity Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Raiders. In three games with the Dolphins thus far, Claypool has just one catch for 15 yards, so until his role in the offense expands he'll be off the fantasy radar.
