Boutte (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

With DeVante Parker (knee) out for Week 1, Boutte's 43 routes were second on the team, trailing only Kendrick Bourne's 54 in a loss to the Eagles. The rookie was mainly running clear-out routes, failing to catch any of his four targets while averaging a robust 23.3 yards average depth of target. Boutte will likely head back to a lesser role once Parker is cleared to return.

Adams (foot) practiced fully Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

After missing Wednesday's practice, Adams' return to a full session Thursday sets the stage for him to headline the Raiders' receiving corps Sunday against the Bills. In the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos, Adams caught six of his nine targets for 66 yards while starting alongside Jakobi Meyers, who hasn't practiced this week due to a concussion.

Carter (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo.

It's a step in the right direction towards being able to suit up for Week 2 after Carter missed practice entirely Wednesday. With No. 2 wideout Jakobi Meyers dealing with a concussion, Carter could potentially be set for increased playing time on offense against the Bills in addition to his return duties.

Meyers (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

Meyers was concussed toward the end of Week 1 and remains in the league's protocol with a pair of DNPs to open the week. At this point, it might be a surprise if he gains clearance ahead of Sunday's Week 2 date against the Bills. DeAndre Carter and rookie Tre Tucker will be asked to take on larger offensive roles should Meyers sit out.

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

Robinson again is operating with a cap on his practice reps like he has in every session so far this season. The limitations aren't surprising given he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee Week 11 of last season. It's unclear if Robinson needs to get back to all activity before the Giants will clear him for game action, but until he's in the fold, the team will roll with wide receivers Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell, Jalin Hyatt and Sterling Shepard.

Chark (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Chark has been dealing with a hamstring injury since at least Aug. 23 that kept him sidelined for the Panthers' season-opening loss in Atlanta this past Sunday. Prior to that contest, he managed one limited session last Friday, and he now has been active in drills in back-to-back days. Chark told Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer earlier Thursday that he's optimistic about making his debut with Carolina this coming Monday against the Saints, but ultimately a decision on his Week 2 availability could come down to a game-time call. If he's able to suit up, Chark will join a receiving corps composed of WRs Adam Thielen and Jonathan Mingo and TE Hayden Hurst, among others.

Doubs (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Though Doubs' practice reps were capped for the second day in a row, the Packers haven't offered any indication that he suffered a setback with the hamstring injury that dates back to the preseason during Green Bay's 38-20 win over Chicago this past Sunday. While Christian Watson (hamstring) was sidelined for the contest, Doubs was the Packers' most productive wideout, turning in a 4-26-2 receiving line on five targets. Doubs was restricted to playing only 48 percent of the snaps on offense, however, though he could see his workload pick up this Sunday in Atlanta if he's cleared to play through the hamstring issue.

Watson (hamstring) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Watson has now missed each of the Packers' first five official practice sessions of the regular season, and unless he's able to reverse that trend Friday, he'll almost certainly be on track to miss a second consecutive game this weekend in Atlanta. Romeo Doubs (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday for the second day in a row and looks on track to serve as Green Bay's No. 1 receiver Sunday if Watson is unable to play.

Burks returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to a personal matter, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Meanwhile, fellow starting wideout DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice. Burks is in store for a big role in the Titans offense Sunday against the Chargers in any case, but if Hopkins is limited or out this weekend, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore would be next in line for snaps and looks at receiver.

Hopkins (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Hopkins didn't practice Wednesday, so the wideout's continued absence puts the focus firmly on what he's able to do at Friday's practice. On the plus side for the Titans, Treylon Burks was back on the field Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to a personal matter. If Hopkins is out or limited Sunday against the Chargers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and/or Chris Moore would be candidates to see added Week 2 opportunities.
