Claypool (toe) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Although Claypool's recent MRI revealed that he avoided a season-ending toe injury, he's now missed two consecutive practice sessions to begin the week. If the 23-year-old is unable to suit up for Sunday's game against the Lions, James Washington and Ray-Ray McCloud would likely see additional work.

Godwin (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Following the Buccaneers' Week 9 bye, Godwin has yet to step on the practice field due to a foot injury. He'll have one more session this week in which to prove his health, but he seems on pace to enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Washington. Elsewhere in the receiving corps, Antonio Brown (ankle) and Rob Gronkowski (back) also didn't practice.

Olszewski has been diagnosed with a concussion, per the Patriots' official site.

Olszewski was unable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a head injury, and he was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday after being diagnosed with a concussion. If he hopes to play Sunday against the Browns, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday.

Sims (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Sims has had his practice reps capped for two consecutive days to begin the week. However, if the 25-year-old is able to remain on the practice field in some capacity Friday, he should have a good chance to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Patrick (knee) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Patrick will take a step up from Wednesday, when he was listed as a non-participant on the Broncos' first Week 10 injury report. So long as he at least maintains limited activity during the team's final practice of the week Friday, Patrick should be in good shape to play Sunday against the Eagles.

Brown (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Brown maintained his activity level on the practice field out of Washington's bye after sitting out the team's last game Week 8 due to a knee issue. With Curtis Samuel (groin) unlikely to be available Sunday versus the Buccaneers, Brown could be the other outside receiver opposite Terry McLaurin this weekend while Adam Humphries mans the slot.

Teams in contract talks with Beckham (shoulder) believe that the free-agent wideout will wait until after Sunday's slate of Week 10 games before deciding on his next landing spot, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

Though none of the NFL's 31 other teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for Beckham earlier this week and take on the $7.25 million remaining on his contract with Cleveland, the 29-year-old has drawn more active interest now that he's eligible to sign at a less prohibitive price. Russini reported Wednesday that Beckham has identified Kansas City, Green Bay and New Orleans as his top destinations, though the likelihood that he'll delay signing for a few more days could open the door for additional clubs to pitch their case for him to come aboard. Before being waived by the Browns, Beckham had been playing through an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but the injury shouldn't prevent him from passing a physical once he agrees to a deal with a team.

Samuel didn't participate in Thursday's practice and instead met with doctors to receive another evaluation of his injured groin, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

While it's unclear if Samuel's appointment was a pre-scheduled arrangement or the result of a setback following Washington's bye week, his continued absence from practice more than likely means he won't be available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The first season of the three-year, $34.5 million deal Samuel signed with the Football Team in March has been a disaster thus far, as he's suited up in just two of Washington's first eight games while logging 26 snaps in total.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that Gallup (calf) remains on course to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Since Gallup won't officially be a member of the 53-man roster until he's activated, the Cowboys don't have to include him on their Week 10 injury report, but McCarthy hinted that the wideout was scheduled to be a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Gallup seemingly didn't suffer any setbacks with his calf coming out of Wednesday's session, leaving McCarthy confident that the 25-year-old won't face any limitations with his snap count in his expected return to the lineup Sunday. Assuming that's the case, Gallup should slot in as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Amari Cooper (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb.

Moore (concussion/neck) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The extent of Moore's neck injury isn't known, but clearing the five-step concussion protocol will be the first order of business for the rookie wideout in order to put himself in position to play Sunday against the Panthers. At this stage, Moore doesn't look to be on track to suit up Week 10, given that he hasn't even been able to participate in individual drills off to the side with the training staff Wednesday or Thursday. Arizona will see what progress, if any, Moore makes during Friday's practice before giving him a designation for the weekend, but the Cardinals could be prepared to head into Sunday without three key pass catchers. Though A.J. Green (illness) was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and is poised to play Sunday, top wideout DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) hasn't practiced since missing last week's win over the 49ers, and running back Chase Edmonds -- who has 30 receptions in nine games this season -- is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain.
