Jeudy (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Jeudy's limited participation is a step in the right direction after he didn't practice Wednesday. The underperforming wide receiver will have one more opportunity to upgrade to full practice participation Friday, which could help him avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Watson (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

In his third week of on-field work since the Packers designated him for return from the reserve/PUP list, Watson has yet to log more than a limited session as he completes his recovery from the torn ACL that he sustained in his right knee Week 18 of last season. He told Schneidman on Wednesday, "My goal and my plan is to play this week." Assuming the Packers list Watson as anything other than 'Out' on Friday's injury report, the team then will need to activate him from the PUP list on Saturday afternoon for him to have a chance to suit up Sunday at Pittsburgh.

San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Thursday that he has both hope and "evidence" that Aiyuk (knee) will soon be ready to make his 2025 debut, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Though Lynch didn't go into specifics regarding where exactly Aiyuk stands in his recovery from the torn ACL and MCL he sustained last October, the GM's comments indicate that the receiver has reached some necessary checkpoints in the rehab process for his surgically-repaired right knee. That being said, until the 49ers clear Aiyuk to practice and open up his 21-day evaluation window, it will be difficult to pinpoint a target date for the 27-year-old to potentially return from the PUP list. Whenever he's activated, Aiyuk could have his snap counts monitored carefully for at least a few games.

Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Slayton has kicked off Week 8 prep with a pair of limited practices, but because he hasn't played since Week 5 due to the hamstring injury, he may need to turn in a full practice Friday in order to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game in Philadelphia. With Malik Nabers (knee) lost for the season, Slayton should be in line for a prominent role in the Giants' passing attack for the second half of the campaign once he's cleared to play.

Samuel (heel) practiced in full Thursday.

The same can be said for fellow WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), signaling that Washington's top options at the position are past their respective health concerns ahead of Monday's game at Kansas City. Samuel sat out Week 7 due to a lingering heel injury but was spotted performing hard cuts during individual drills at Thursday's session, according to Commanders writer Ben Standig.

Olave (ankle) was spotted taking part in practice Thursday during the media-access portion of the session, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Olave was held out of the Saints' first Week 8 practice Wednesday on account of an ankle injury, but his presence on the field a day later offers hope that his absence was mostly maintenance-related. The Saints will release their second practice report of the week later Thursday, when it will be known whether Olave was a limited or full participant in the session. After his 2024 campaign was derailed by two concussions, Olave has enjoyed generally good health so far in 2025, suiting up for all seven of the Saints' games to date while producing a 44-440-3 receiving line on 70 targets.

McLaurin (quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday.

Both McLaurin and Deebo Samuel had no limitations to kick off Week 8 prep, indicating Washington's top two wide receivers are trending toward returning to action Monday at Kansas City. McLaurin himself has missed the last four games due to a quad injury but was seen cutting hard during individual drills at Thursday's session, per Commanders writer Ben Standig.

Downs (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

After returning to a limited practice Wednesday, Downs -- who was inactive Week 7 -- upgraded to full participation a day later while shedding his non-contact jersey in the process, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Downs carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans or is fully cleared to reclaim his role in a Colts WR corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Palmer (knee, ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Palmer, who has yet to practice in any capacity since sustaining an ankle injury during Buffalo's loss to the Falcons in Week 6, is also managing a knee issue. For any chance of being cleared to play Sunday on the road against Carolina, he'll almost certainly need to get back on the practice field as at least a limited participant Friday. Curtis Samuel (ribs), who has been limited in practice, will stand to handle an expanded role on offense if Palmer misses time.

Moore (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Moore was able to take some reps in the Bears' second Week 8 practice after he was held out of Wednesday's session entirely while nursing a hip issue. The Bears haven't yet indicated that Moore's status for Sunday's game in Baltimore is in any jeopardy, but he'll most likely need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid taking a questionable tag into the weekend.
