Robinson (hamstring) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.

This marks Robinson's second absence in as many days, but he at least has one more session to make his presence felt on the practice field. Friday's injury report will be telling for his potential to suit up Sunday against the Ravens as he looks to turn around what his been a dismal season for his standards.

Ateman has been released from the Raiders' practice squad.

In a corresponding move, the Raiders added Tyron Johnson to their practice squad. He'll provide the team with added wideout depth behind Bryan Edwards, Zay Jones, Hunter Renfrow, DeSean Jackson and Dillon Stoner.

Valdes-Scantling was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hip injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Valdes-Scantling already has had a stint on injured reserve this season, sitting out Weeks 4-8 due to a hamstring issue. In two games since his return to action, he's gathered in three of four passes for 60 yards and no scores. Valdes-Scantling wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, so his appearance Thursday is somewhat concerning. In the end, though, the Packers may clear up his status following Friday's session.

Lazard (shoulder) was absent from Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

For a second consecutive session, Lazard didn't join his teammates on the field and instead focused on rehab of a shoulder injury. Since sitting out Week 8 due to being a close contact of Davante Adams, who tested positive for COVID-19, Lazard has managed to haul in just two of five targets for 26 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. Aside from Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hip) was limited Thursday, while Malik Taylor (abdomen) again didn't practice, leaving Adams, Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown, Amari Rodgers and Juwann Winfree as the Packers' healthy wide receivers.

Adams (shoulder) practice fully Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Adams was deemed limited on Wednesday's practice estimate after he was seen stretching and riding a stationary bike prior to a walkthrough. On Thursday, he proceeded to work in individual drills in the media-access portion of the session, per Schneidman. With all activity confirmed in the Packers' most recent practice, Adams is ready to take on the Vikings in Week 11. At the same time, Aaron Rodgers (toe) has yet to get on the field this week, but there's an expectation he'll be throwing to Adams and company Sunday at Minnesota.

Godwin (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

The foot injury initially put Godwin's status in doubt for Week 10 after he missed practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he returned to the field Friday and ultimately gained clearance to play in Sunday's loss to Washington. He played 96 percent of the Bucs' offensive snaps in that game and recorded seven catches for 57 yards on eight targets. The team provided no indication that Godwin is dealing with any sort of setback coming out of that contest, so his limitations during the Bucs' first Week 11 practice were likely maintenance-related. The expectation is that he'll be good to go for a matchup with the Giants on Monday night.

Beasley (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.

Beasley's return to the field Thursday indicates that his absence from Wednesday's practice was maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback with the rib injury he has been managing. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Buffalo's slot man approaches Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 11 action.

Montgomery (finger) remained absent at practice Thursday, Amie Just of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Montgomery hasn't practiced since exiting last week's loss to the Titans as a result of this injury. Also missing from Thursday's practice was Alvin Kamara (knee), who didn't suit up against Tennessee but practiced in limited fashion Wednesday. The versatile Montgomery would likely absorb some of Kamara's pass-catching duties out of the backfield if he plays Sunday in Philadelphia and Kamara doesn't, but such a scenario seems unlikely at this point.

Johnson was signed to the Raiders' practice squad Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rapoport adds that Johnson has a chance to get called up to the main roster quickly, so there's a chance he could make his Raiders debut as soon as Sunday against the Bengals. Johnson has 22 catches for 414 yards and three touchdowns in 17 career games split between the Chargers and Jaguars.

McLaurin (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.

McLaurin missed some game action this past Sunday against the Buccaneers with a collarbone injury, which lingered into Week 11 prep. After having his practice reps capped Wednesday, he managed to log all of them one day later, setting himself up to be available Sunday in Carolina. McLaurin will take on a Panthers defense that has allowed just 7.6 yards per target to wide receivers this season (ninth best in the NFL).
