Allen (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Friday's final injury report will reveal Allen's official injury status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but as Daniel Popper of The Athletic noted Wednesday, it's possible that the Chargers could elect to play it safe with the wideout this weekend with the team on bye in Week 8. Allen hasn't seen game action since injuring his hamstring in Week 1.

Lockett (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett has opened Week 7 prep with back-to-back absences, giving him just one more opportunity to mix into drills ahead of the weekend. He may have to practice in full Friday to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's contest at the Chargers. In any case, Lockett's status bears monitoring to get a sense of if he's in danger of missing a game.

Palmer (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.

Palmer has one more chance to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, but if he ends up sidelined this weekend, DeAndre Carter would be a candidate to see added Week 7 opportunities in the Chargers' passing game versus Seattle.

Anderson may play "more than you'd expect" in his Cardinals debut Thursday against the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Following his trade from Carolina to Arizona on Monday, Anderson has had only two days to get up to speed with the Cardinals' playbook. While he initially was expected to get "15-to-20 snaps," per Rapoport, Anderson has acclimated quickly in his new home and could play a decent role Week 7. Anderson is helped by the fact that Marquise Brown (foot) is on injured reserve, but in any case the former will be a part of the team's options at wide receiver Thursday along with DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch.

Moore (hip) returned to a full practice Thursday.

Moore picked up a hip injury during Week 4's loss, but is trending in the right direction following Thursday's full practice. As long as he avoids any setbacks, Moore should be able to suit up Sunday against the Raiders. Through his first four games of the season, Moore has caught eight of his twelve targets for 108 yards.

The Vikings signed Proehl to their practice squad Thursday.

Proehl joined the Vikings' practice squad Thursday after he was let go by the team Tuesday. The 23-year-old now figures to serve as emergency depth in case any of the team's receivers miss time.

Collins (Achilles/wrist) practiced fully Thursday, ProFootballNetwork.com's Aaron Wilson reports.

A full practice for Collins all but settles that he's in line to start and be ready for his usual workload against the Raiders on Sunday. Hopefully the Texans' Week 6 bye allowed Collins to reach 100 percent health, because he quietly produced at an encouraging level before then (13 catches for 246 yards on 24 targets in he prior four games), though Collins will still be looking for his first touchdown of the season as the Texans head to Las Vegas.

Renfrow (hip) didn't practice Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Renfrow practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Raiders' injury report Thursday is notable. Friday's final report will indicate whether the team's slot man approaches Sunday's game against the Texans cleared to play or with a Week 7 injury designation. The same applies to top tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) and wideout Mack Hollins (heel).

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network indicates Moore has asked for a trade but notes that the Jets have no plans to deal the wideout.

Per Rapoport, Moore -- who officially didn't log a target Week 6 -- is frustrated with his role and usage with the team, but at this stage the Jets aren't inclined to part ways with the 2021 second-rounder. Meanwhile, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com relayed that Moore was excused from practice Thursday, with the wideout being given what was termed a "personal day." It remains to be seen what Moore does at practice Friday, but at this point he profiles as a speculative fantasy lineup option for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The Saints released Kirkwood (ankle) on Thursday.

Kirkwood was signed to New Orleans' active roster last Saturday before suiting up for his second game consecutive game in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. The 27-year-old caught his lone target for 14 yards over 70 defensive snaps in the contest, but he popped up with an ankle injury on Monday's injury report and did not practice at all Week 7. Now, Kirkwood will likely look to re-sign with the Saints' practice squad if he's unable to land a spot on an active roster elsewhere.
