Raymond (thigh) remained a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

Following Monday's loss to Green Bay, the Lions held a walk-through session Wednesday for their first Week 3 practice, with Raymond being listed as limited on the initial injury report. Detroit held a more traditional practice Thursday, but Raymond wasn't able to increase his activity. Provided he upgrades to full participation Friday, Raymond should avoid taking an injury designation into the matchup with the Ravens on Thursday, when he should once again be headed for a sizable snap count. Raymond was on the field for 75 and 63 percent of the Lions' offensive plays in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, but he drew only six targets between those contests to total five receptions for 68 yards.

Crowder (groin) didn't practice Thursday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Crowder seems headed toward a third consecutive absence to open the season, though an official injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos won't come in until Friday. If Crowder sits, Braxton Berrios -- who has 12 catches for 124 yards through two games -- should continue to man the slot for the Jets.

Campbell (abdomen) logged a second consecutive limited practice Thursday.

Campbell's trying to get back in the lineup in Week 3 against Tennessee after sitting out last week's loss to the Rams, but his status remains up in the air after back-to-back limited sessions. Fellow wide receiver Zach Pascal (illness) practiced fully Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice, while quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) remained sidelined for the second day in a row.

Brown (knee) returned to full participation in practice Thursday, John Glennon of Broadway Sports Media reports.

It's not uncommon for Brown to be limited or even sit out entirely early in the week, so his limited session Wednesday wasn't much cause for concern, and his return Thursday can put any worries over his health to rest. Brown has gotten off to a drop-plagued start, but he's still getting plenty of attention from quarterback Ryan Tannehill despite the offseason addition of fellow high-profile wide receiver Julio Jones, so it's likely only a matter of time before Tennessee's 2019 second-round pick breaks out. Such an outcome could even transpire Sunday against the Colts.

The Giants added Toney to their injury report Thursday, listing him as a limited participant in practice due to an ankle issue, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The rookie receiver missed time in training camp with a hamstring injury, but he was cleared ahead of the season opener and has played in both of the Giants' first two games, logging 22 offensive snaps while recording two receptions for minus-2 yards. If Toney moves past the ankle injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, he'll likely have only a small role on offense.

Gage (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

Gage has yet to take the practice field this week as he tends to an ankle injury stemming from Week 2. Friday's session and subsequent injury report from the team will be telling for the fourth-year wide receiver's availability for Sunday road game against the Giants. If Gage is sidelined or limited this weekend, Olamide Zaccheaus, Tajae Sharpe and Christian Blake are on hand to fill in next to Calvin Ridley.

Hopkins (ribs) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Hopkins has kicked off Week 3 prep with back-to-back DNPs, the result of a rib injury. Whether it's in Arizona or his previous employer in Houston, he's regularly received days off to tend to health concerns and also for maintenance. Hopkins will have one more chance to prove his health ahead of Sunday's visit to Jacksonville.

Pascal (illness) was able to practice Thursday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Pascal missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness but his return Thursday suggests the slot receiver isn't in danger of sitting out a juicy Week 3 matchup with a Titans secondary that's been the most generous in the league to opposing receivers in the early going. The only damper on Pascal's outlook Sunday is the possible absence of starting quarterback Carson Wentz (ankle), whom Erickson said wasn't spotted at practice Thursday. Pascal was a full participant Thursday, while Wentz was a non-participant.

Patrick (hip) is slated to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Denver will put a cap on Patrick's practice reps for the second straight day, but so long as he upgrades to full activity Friday, he should enter Sunday's game against the Jets minus an injury designation. After fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was placed on injured reserve ahead of last week's victory over the Jaguars, Patrick didn't see much of a spike his usage or volume. He played 73 percent of offensive snaps and delivered a 3-37-1 line on four targets Week 2, compared to a 70 percent snap share and a 4-39-1 line on four targets in the Broncos' season-opening win over the Giants.

Sutton (hip) is set to practice fully Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

The wideout's reps were limited Wednesday after he apparently picked up the hip injury coming out of last week's win over Jacksonville, but the return to full practice should clear the way for Sutton to suit up Sunday against the Jets. With Jerry Jeudy (ankle) ruled out ahead of Week 2 before being moved to injured reserve, Sutton operated as the clear top target in the Denver passing game in the team's win over Jacksonville, logging nine receptions for 159 yards on 12 targets.
