London (groin) wasn't present for Thursday's practice and is expected to be listed as a non-participant on the Falcons' official injury report, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

London previously failed to practice Wednesday, so he'll likely need to get back on the field in some fashion Friday to put himself in position to play Sunday against the Vikings. If London ends up sitting out this weekend, wideouts Van Jefferson, Mack Hollins and KhaDarel Hodge as well as tight ends Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith could all be in store for more looks in the Falcons' Taylor Heinicke-led passing game.

Berrios (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

It's a downgrade for Berrios after he practiced fully Wednesday. Mid-week injuries or downgrades are rarely a good sign for a player's Sunday availability, but Berrios will have a chance Friday to get back on the field. If Berrios were forced to miss the Dolphins' Week 9 contest against the Chiefs, Cedrick Wilson and Chase Claypool could see increased playing time this weekend.

Wilson (shoulder) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Wilson will go down as a non-participant on the Cardinals' injury report for the second day in a row after he sustained a shoulder injury late in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. The Cardinals haven't confirmed that Wilson's injury is something significant, but the rookie wideout's status for this Sunday's game in Cleveland is nonetheless in question at the moment. Wilson will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a legitimate chance at playing this weekend.

Beckham (shoulder) was back at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Beckham missed Wednesday's practice, but his return to Thursday's session is a positive indicator ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. The Ravens' looming injury report will clarify the wideout's participation level in his return to the field following a one-day absence.

Woods (foot) isn't practicing Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Woods hasn't practiced in any capacity following the Texans' Week 7 bye and appears on track to miss a second straight game Sunday against the Buccaneers. Look for Houston to officially rule Woods out for the Week 9 contest when the team releases its final injury report Friday. Woods' expected absence this weekend should pave the way for Tank Dell and Noah Brown to see steady playing time alongside No. 1 wideout Nico Collins in three-receiver sets.

Samuel (toe) missed Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Samuel now has back-to-back absences under his belt this week due to the toe injury that he suffered this past Sunday against the Eagles. If he's limited or sidelined this weekend, the most likely candidates to see more work are Dyami Brown and Jamison Crowder behind starters Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.

Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Parker also missed practice Wednesday, clouding his status for Sunday's game against the Commanders. If Parker is unavailable this weekend, Demario Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Reagor could profile as the Patriots' top three wideouts, with Tyquan Thornton and Kayshon Boutte potentially seeing expanded roles behind the trio.

Gallup (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Gallup saw his playing time dialed back in last Sunday's win over the Rams, playing a season-low 51 percent of the offensive snaps, as Jalen Tolbert saw increased work behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Gallup has failed to crack 24 yards in any of his last three games and in five of seven games overall. With that in mind, he's off the fantasy radar outside of deeper leagues.

Hopkins (toe) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Thursday against the Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

On a short week, Hopkins got in a pair of limited practices Monday and Tuesday before missing Wednesday's session. Throughout his career, Hopkins has shown an ability to play in games without practicing much or at all in the week leading up to a game, so the Titans may have simply been giving the 31-year-old receiver some extra time to get his body ready for Thursday. Hopkins is coming off a three-touchdown performance in the Titans' Week 8 win over Atlanta, which came with rookie Will Levis under center. Levis will start again in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill (ankle), and Hopkins should represent the signal-caller's top target in the passing game. Hopkins' availability will be confirmed when Tennessee releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Beckham didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Beckham exited this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals after sustaining a stomach contusion, but was subsequently able to return to action. The wideout is dealing with a different injury to be begin Week 9 prep, however, so his status will need to be monitored ahead of this Sunday's game against the Seahawks. After catching a season-high five passes on seven targets for 49 yards in Week 7, Beckham didn't record any receptions on four targets versus Arizona.
